I enjoyed his subtle backhanded slap at Hillary Clinton as the demonic blondish character trying to take all your money away.

So - a stack of books six and a half feet tall? Pretty nice! Loved that interview and he was excellent on it - I honestly have to disagree with the OP, although of course he is entitled to his opinion. Nothing wrong with a bit of levity and good humour, I say!

I was going to post that I thought you might be mistaken, but I see sisterwife has already put you right again. Nice try!I enjoyed his subtle backhanded slap at Hillary Clinton as the demonic blondish character trying to take all your money away.
I think if you stacked all of his books, it would be way taller than that. I've not got all of them and I think my stack is almost 6'. Maybe kingricefan or king family fan could stack their's and tell us the size of the tower.So - a stack of books six and a half feet tall? Pretty nice!

Rrty, you seem like an intelligent, honest, polite person.Sometimes when I don't enjoy something, I feel embarrassed for it
...I did, and I'm fretting about him too....the nurse in me perked right up with the "touch" on the desk....he's very drawn...The appearances are wearing on him . . .as he passed Colbert's desk last night he slightly touched it for support, I've watched a lot of his interviews over the years and I've never seen him do that. He is drained right about now.
He's lost way too much weight . . .
We love you Stephen . . .very much.
GNTLGNT . . .Giant did you catch the Flava shoutout? I thought of you . . .

Now, I just watched the interview. I liked it. I get your point about the solmenity of the day, but it's ok to do a light hearted interview as well.I didn't enjoy King's appearance on Colbert's show. It wasn't the fault of either party, I think it was just the nature of the forum. Colbert has to be funny, and then he has to force King to try to be funny, and King really isn't a comedian. I would have rather seen King on something like Charlie Rose instead of Colbert.
It was too short, the questions were the usual suspects, etc. Of course, you could say this about a lot of King interviews, I suppose. I wish we could get some really good questions. What is the last thing you worked on that you stopped working on -- what would have been the name of the project? Is self-publishing making the industry worse or better?
A note on Colbert: I never watched his other show, but he appears to be an annoying interviewer (from that point of view, I suppose my disappointment with the interview was the fault of Colbert, but in a sense, I still won't blame him because at that point the template was set, and he has to do what he has to do to be consistent). If anyone caught the Scarlett Johansson interview, you surely would have noticed when she told him to stop, because he seems to do this thing where he constantly interrupts to inject some humor into the conversation. He seems to want the density of humor to be high. His interview with Bush was awful, no insights at all. I'm only somewhat familiar with his other character, but it seems as if he might be doing the same thing.
He needs to be more serious, and to get the most out of his guests. I get the impression he wants to book more guests like Elon Musk, but if he is going to talk to interesting people like that, drop the funny stuff and ask some interesting questions. Why wasn't King asked about the solemnity of the day, for instance? (I don't remember that he was asked about that, anyway.)
I thought maybe it was just me, but I found him to be quite gaunt looking.
This Gaunt man...does he own a shop called Needful Things?I thought maybe it was just me, but I found him to be quite gaunt looking.
