Contrary to Booeys sales pitch you don't need 80 minutes to interview every guest. A colassal Howard Allan Konstantin Chernenko Stern FAIL.... Not getting Neil to play a song. Sure you would have to let him sing the shitty new one but that would be a small price to pay to get him to sing one of the hits! Mad Money....bonus
none of the guitars being tuned was classic! that had to give him a hemoroid and Stern the big guitar player, renansase man didn't know his wasn't tuned and couldnt tune the guitar heard the beginning of Robins news and she started it off with "items from your interview of Neil Young that made the wires" and mentioned David Crosby deadhorse they beat to death during the whole interview
I don't understand Howard's obsession with Neil Young....I could understand if this was 1970, 1979 or even 1990. and it isn't as if he hasn't been seen or heard from in decades. He has been on Colbert twice, Fallon a few times and does print interviews when he's plugging a book or some cause he's involved in. Have to give credit to Team Buchwald for pimping the interview out to Rolling Stone and other media outlets as the interview of the century.
Great post Its funny to compare The Wig with Colbert's interviewing skills. Colbert is sooooo much smarter and wittier. Colbert can dance circles around him. Not even close.
"Neil agreed to this interview Robin because he's a superfan. Robin? Robin? Fred do we need a spot break?"
This is how WUS Gary described getting the call that Neil was coming on the stern show Like the Gibson fist pump....
And this is the guy who felt like a rape victim after tossing a baseball with Kimmel. He should probably stay away from the sports analogies.
I understand Howard's obsession with Neil. (If it's true. Who knows with Howard). Neil was huge when Howard was a young man. But, this isn't a huge get for the show. Neil isn't a hermit. Back in the 90s, he was on SNL many many times. He wanted no part of Howard Neil's been making the rounds. He finally agreed to do show after probably years of Gary waiting for him to call When Howard wasn't a pussy, Neil would've have put up with his bullshit but now, it's like an interview with Entertainment tonight
I love the thought of this. I heard the guitars were out of tune, but didnt know howard couldnt tell! Was neil going to play? BWHAHAAHHAHA Thanks to who ever posted the audio of Neil laughing at howard for being on AGT. Holy shit that was the first time i heard anything from the show in a long time and it was funny as hell!
Fucking Goebbels Jon Hein was bragging how Howard "Hit it out of the park with Neil Young". EEECCHHH the Wrap up Show makes me sick.
No doubt - any of the name guests that appear on the show are just making the rounds to pimp their latest project and it's not due to any special efforts by Howard or Gary. Master interviewer Stern loves to prolong the interviews because it's an easy way to fill air time plus the guest may slip up and answer one of his ridiculous questions, which will lead to more mentions of the Stern show online and in the gossip sites.
The only laughs from that interview were unintentional. I don't understand Neil saying he didn't know how to tune a guitar. I guess he just didn't "jam" with Wiggy. Even after the brilliant musician Fred Norris tuned it, Neil only strummed a few notes from "Old Man" and put it aside. Btw, when's this interview gonna air? Oh wait...
