jon stewart is the only talk show host that can have people come on to promote a movie and not talk about the movie, and have it not be a problem at all.

I wouldn't rate it as highly as you did... but fat guy strippers with change belts is a pretty darn funny image.

Well, the only other interview that I'd say was comparable in terms of hilariousness was:

1) Steve Carrell's interview when he was promoting "40 Year Old Virgin", his first appearance after leaving the show.
2) John Hodgeman when promoting his book "Areas of My Expertise", which went so well that, I believe, led to him being hired as a part-time "correspondent".

This one is right up there.

That was some funny shit. Too bad it wasn't longer!

If you realize what song Tracy is talking about having a bear riding a unicycle to, you'll realize his genius

Funny but I think it would have been funnier if you hadn't oversold it.

Was Tracy high or pissed???

Neither. Just on his game!

I went to a sneak-preview of the film that they don't bother to promote in the above interview. Really enjoyed it! Below is the review I wrote for Cinemaclock...

Here's the deal with this flick- if you're a fan of 1980s style comedy cop flicks a'la Lethal Weapon and especially Beverly Hills Cop, then you'll really enjoy this lightweight action film from Kevin Smith. Hell, it's even got an 80s Axel Foley synthesizer soundtrack.

Bruce Willis is the grizzled veteran cop, Tracy Morgan (or is it Jordan? I get confused) plays his goofy partner. There's a plot of sorts- revolving around the pair trying to get back a valuable baseball card stolen from Willis' character by a gang of frightening hispanic ethnic stereotypes, the leader of which is a sports memorabilia collector.
There are a bunch of chases- both on foot and in cars- a couple of shootouts, and some minor sub-plots with a few twists. All of which serve solely as situations for Morgan to riff off of Willis' straight-man like a manic comedic madman. These guys have some great chemistry together, in the finest buddy-picture tradition.

A couple of cameos- notably Jason Lee as the slimy step-father of Willis' daughter, and Seann William Scott is hilarious as a strung-out cat burglar.

This movie's quite a change of pace for director Smith- a straight-up mainstream comedy. But it's still got a lot of his trademark clever dialogue and the characters are better fleshed-out and more believable than is usual for this genre. It drags a little bit in the second act, but moves on soon enough and pretty much succeeds in entertaining on every level.

That was rather bizarre... In quite a funny way though!

He looks like the black William Shatner.

Which means: awesome.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Thanks for that. Sounds good. I'm going to see it.

If you painted Tracy green he'd look just like Shrek.
