Chalie Rose by Samuel Becket


I don't know if you have ever sat through a Charlie Rose interview, but I always get tense. Maybe its the all black studio with just him and his guest, sitting there, alone in the world. Somehow it always seems to slowly ratchet the tension. He could interview Smurfette, and his ultra serious tone and trenchant questioning would soon illustrate the smurfs' ongoing troubles with Gargamel as a showdown between shareholder capitalism and the evil bumbling state; or at least that is what i think he is about to do. Perhaps that is why this 'mash up' of his overbearing inquisitiveness in the style of 'Waiting for Godot' playwrite and 'pregnant pause'-master Samuel Becket is so spot on and utterly hilarious.
