Oh Stephen, you had me at “stimulus package”…

Loved, loved, loved the interview with Petit. It’s always great to see a guest that gives as good as he gets during the interview. I remember when Petit did his thing at the World Trade Center, and to this day I still can’t believe that he had the nerve, the courage, to do it.

Stephen’s “tightrope walk” was also pretty awesome. Field day for the graphics department!

“Live from last Thursday!” I love it! The Bill O’Reilly segment was brilliant! Kudos to the entire staff of TCR!

The moment I saw Philippe Petit wearing mismatched socks I knew it was gonna be a fun segment! And when he started moving things around the table, like he was asserting control of the space, of the entire interview, and he did, in a way. I loved their banter. :)

had to vote the interview. Petit is such an egocentric character that he kind of outdoes Stephen, and it’s just funny to see Stephen so amused at the character he’s dealing with.

and the ending improv line by stephen, “this is all gibberish to me” was the perfect comeback punch.

Always love the “Cheating Death” segments so had to vote for that one; however, I was tempted to vote for the Bill O’Reilly “interview” – something about Stephen’s change of demeanor when he is in the presence of the great one was fun to watch.

don’t have time to read all of your responses. in fact I’ll have to make mine quick!

LOVEDDDDDD!!!!! excellent. totally enjoyable. nice messed up toss to start us off and we finish with goofy Omar/Homer.
–vous dit is always said but it’s vous dites with a “t” sound. second time he’s made this mistake. (OK, yes, now you tell me to shut up, onetime language nerd)
–also, he said armpit homunculus! homunculi(?) are so neat to think about. look them up on google. also, be sure to see the molunculus. hahaha. also in cheating death enjoyed Cosmodrine with with the viral talk.
–excellent interview, loved the opening graphics and also Petit himself. Clintonian!

All hail Episode 5014! I loved everything about this one! And mad props to the graphics department for, yet again, leaving me in complete stitches with the skeletons at the bottom of the screen during Cheating Death! I swear, it’s one of my favorite things about that segment.

I like to think that they throw a whole bunch of nouns in one hat and a bunch of verbs in another, and just pull them out randomly. Hehe… But I’m sure there’s a much more sophisticated way it’s put together, and I’d seriously love to be a fly on the wall in the writers room when they’re coming up with side effects.

LOVED the interview, Petit was adorable and quirky as was Stephen’s reactions to him. “Pucker Lung” had me LOL’ing too. And how about that stimulus package – there’s a, ahem, double meaning there. ;)

I thought the watch glance the other night was due more to the prop malfunction–closing the hatch to the underground prison–that it took too much time. I could be wrong–but I do agree that they are experimenting. As long as Stephen’s stimulus package is on its way, I will be fine!

I have to mention that I loved at the top when he gave the ladies his stimulus package.

This was a great episode – I think the strongest of the new year. Honestly though, I was a little disappointed when they came back with Omar/Homer. I didn’t really like it yesterday, and I was on such a high from the Petit interview, that I kind of wish that the episode just finished after the interview because the rest of the episode was so strong. It seems like it is over now though. Of course, it would have seemed that Bobby was over too…
