Recently Stumbled Upon

It's sometimes difficult to be patient with an old style storyteller- a raconteur- in this age of instantaneous communication, information at the speed of light. But this is worthwhile if you have a few minutes to smile:




Update: After I stumbled on that, I sought out this. And this first clip sort of shows what I was talking about. I love Jon Stewart-- Love him-- but his pace is wrong for O'Toole. He's too fast-- he needs to be more patient.



But Jon slowed down and redeemed himself a bit in Part II of the interview. I'd say if this were The Battle of the Interviewers, Letterman kicked ass. He proves that there is an art to shutting the heck up.
