Stewart's 1990 interview on Bob Costas' Later

[njperry]

Conroy had mentioned on the thread Stewart started the excellent interview with Stewart on the late night NBC show Later with Bob Costas in January 1990.

English Lion posted the 3 part Youtube version in the links a few months back but thought it would worth posting here in light of Conroy's mention.

This really is a great and long interview. Discussing the Police, Animal Logic, childghood, Holy Blood.

I also remember it clearly for another reasons. I stayed up late on Christmas break before my last semmester in college. Since I was on break, I could stay up late easy. Then about 2 hours later, I woke up horribly ill and had to be hospitalized (the last time I have spent the night in the hospital). So this was the last thing I saw before I got sick. Got out of the hospital in a couple days and back to college in time. I then met my wife a couple weeks later.

So January 1990 was a big month. Stewart's Costas interview, short but serious illness, meeting my wife.

I actually had a conversation with Costas about this interview YEARS ago and I remember him telling me the following:

"One of the things about (Stewart) is he's one of these guys you can tell how smart he is the minute he walks in the room."

I thought that was interesting...maybe not...lol

Nice.

Bob, were you just chatting with Costas, or did you manage to sneak a few Stewart questions into an interview you were conducting?


Thanks for the link-sharing, NJ.

In my first interview with him, which was actually when I was still in college (eesh), Later had been on the air for a few years and after we talked on the record, I had mentioned how much I liked the Stew interview... just small talk...but I think I still have it recorded somewhere.

Had a few other encounters with him over the years, as we ran in the same circles. Always a class act.

Probably you can sense his intelligence and animal logic a mile away

Cool!
