Good interview. SK looks better than he's looked in years. Diggin' the new hairstyle.
He dressed UP for the occasion- dress white shirt instead of a tee shirt. Indeed, he does look good.
He looks so thin. His weight worries me although I think it helps not having that extra weight on his hurt leg. But, he needs to come to my house. I'll put some donuts on those little tiny legs.
...he looks good, less lines on his face than has been the case lately....
Florida in the winter can be restful and rejuvenating. No so much during tropical season!
Yeah, looks like he should...but I'm worried about how he'll look coming around the clubhouse turn at Pimlico. Don't know what to make of the three interviewers talking over and around each other to ask a question. Have a sense of whom-so-ever standing off camera holding up whatever it is they hold up...fingers? five four three two...next question. Whose turn was it? At least there weren't a pile of distracting placards in the windows.
I wonder if any of them read the book??
Seems to me Gayle King is starstruck. 
Looks like she is a real fan.

Gayle King?Seems to me Gayle King is starstruck.
(must be one of his cousins from way back)
Kinda groaned when they asked about Cujo — we have heard that story so many times. Would love to hear a story we haven't heard!
It's always such a treat to watch SK's interviews! Thanks for posting the link!
A question out of curiosity - a little under four minutes into the video, they show all three books in the trilogy. I didn't recognize the Mr. Mercedes or Finders Keepers covers (different from the hardcovers I have). Anyone know their origin?

From the way they talked, it sure sounds like none of them are readers.. Gees, they were all throwing knuckleballs at him at once , they were all over the place with questions,hard to get into a good rhythm. But it was a good interview for him, thought he looked good,even with the skinny jeans that are popular with hipsters and teenage girls,haha..

What about the white shirt? Did he buy that or was it a shirt they gave him out of wardrobe?From the way they talked, it sure sounds like none of them are readers..

(No offense, Mr. King - you look good in white!)
That was great! Steve looks well rested. Let's hope he stays that way during the tour.
He did, and so charming - even dealing with the same questions.
Many were seeing him for the first time. And still unaware of him other than 'Horrrrorboooks'. STILL.
I came to this thread to make a couple comments about the interview, but they have already been covered. Still, let me join in.
First, the Cujo anecdote...I too could not stand hearing that again (I also didn't like hearing the woman-in-the-supermarket-you-couldn't-have-written-"Shawshank" story). Come on, guys...there's only so much interview time estate, why waste it on that?
I also was going to mention that none of them seemed to have read the book...which is understandable, if you think about it (i.e., they can't read every book when a guest comes on). The problem in this case, though, is that they didn't at least know (or seemed not to know) about the supernatural pivot the last book took. That would have been an excellent discussion point; will readers who were used to the crime angle of the first two tomes suddenly be thrown off by the telekinesis?
I would have figured that Rose would have had some better questions, maybe even some business-related ones. (You've been making a lot of filmed-entertainment deals, Mr. King, let me ask -- in this age of streaming, could there be a Stephen King over-the-top branded channel? An app that delivers King content? Come on, Charlie, you could have dug a little deeper into the business model!)
No one asked what's next...granted, I'm sure on the tour, people will, but I would have liked to have seen that topic covered in this particular interview.

I just want an interviewer to ask him where the idea for Gerald's Game came from. I've always wondered.
I wish someone would ask him why Billy Soames is the only person on Little Tall that is able to defy Linoge. It sends Linoge into a rage when Billy doesn't
whack Cat in the back of the head with that can as he was wanting him too.
