This is an excerpt from the actual transcripts available on CNN's website. This was from the Johnnie Cochran tribute episode on Tuesday.
But we have with us on the phone, Johnnie Cochran, Jr. Are you there, Johnnie? Johnnie Cochran, Sr., are you there?
JOHNNIE COCHRAN, SR., FATHER OF JOHNNIE COCHRAN: Johnnie Cochran, Sr., yes.
KING: So you are what in relation to Johnnie Cochran, Jr.?
JOHNNIE COCHRAN, SR.: Yes, I'm his father, thank you.
Yes, Larry immediately cleared up any confusion regarding just what relationship there was between Johnnie Cochran, Sr. and Johnnie Cochran, Jr.
The man is so damn incompetent as an interviewer and yet is so well regarded. I can only suppose it is because his lack of preparation combined with his non-threatening fawning draws the big names. Basically, it is a free hour of self-promotion with little risk.
That, and he never fails to exploit any celebrity death before the body even begins to cool.
And on a somewhat related note... Does anyone agree that Nancy Grace's new show should be called Nancy Grates to honor truth in advertising rules.
