Hah, I saw this a couple of weeks ago, thought about sifting it, but i'm not too hot on the Bill Hicks thing. This is a cool interview, even though Clive Anderson is a wanker. Best thing he ever did was interview the Bee Gees and make Maurice Gibbs walk off set. Maybe I should go look for that...

oh man, bill looks like there's gnomes gnawing at his skull
like he's being forced to this at gunpoint

I have never seen a Clive Anderson interview that is anything short of a disaster.

I liked the interaction. Clive doesn't seem like the typical brown-nosing interviewer.

I completely disagree, he was laughing quite a lot at anderson's asides (which were, let's be honest, quite funny.. assuming you can see past the fact that it is clive anderson), he seemed quite relaxed. They got on really well, so i don't really see where you're coming from at all. There were a few chatty unscripted jokes that went well.

Checked all the boxes for me. He seemed a little quiet and/or shy, but it was clear to me they enjoyed each other's company. Perhaps he did it as a favour to anderson (as they seem to know each other) but didn't really want to.

Americans just don't see enough of clive anderson to get over the fact that he's an instantly annoying tit. Once you're past the Clive-Annoyance-Threshhold as it's known in mathematical circles, you start to be able to laugh at his jokes, which are often very witty.

Bill Hicks rocks your ass and your balls.

This guy (Clive) is like an American morning radio guy: "So, Bill... how 'bout those airplanes?" . . . "So, Bill, how 'bout those crazy Americans and their guns?" . . .

So, Clive... how 'bout a real fucking conversation?
