Top 10 Interviews that Have Never Been Aired

Why didn't Keith Olbermann's interview of Patty Hearst air yet? Ed Schultz and the Bernie Maddof/John Banner interview was also compelling--when can we expect that one? Rachel Maddow and Al Solzhenitsyn of Russia...why can't MSNBC air that compelling chat between the two part-time comrades? And speaking of Al why isn't Nora O' Donnell's interview of Paul Simon who wrote "You Can Call Me Al" more demanded by NBC viewers. Steve Carrell being interviewed by John Walsh is a special circumstance and the footage needs to be seen without the dust of the years on it. There are more interviews that haven't been aired yet...you need to demand that they be aired. I have a tele-conference about that television broadcast schedule my scheduler tells me...I'll get back to you on that.

Here's the top ten NBC/MSNBC interviews that have never been aired.

Top Ten NBC/MSNBC Interviews That Have Never Been Aired

1 Ben Affleck interviews David Letterman and asks the disturbed talk show host about the meaning of life and how being so shallow has affected his personal relationships. What does it feel like, he asks the quirky broadcaster, to ramble and then pretend to be focused.

2 Groucho Marx interviews John Lennon in an opportunity for us to channel the international debate over the true relationship between Marx and Lenin of 19th and early 20th century fame...who better than Groucho Marx to plum the depths of his namesake Karl Marx and John Lennon who found himself answering impossible and imponderably deep political questions as a Beatle. He should have equal difficulty in his role as Vladimir Lenin...it's a would-be box office bonanza for Grouch.

3 In a difficult and surreal interview Steve Carrell gets interviewed and is queried by John Walsh on the satisfaction he gets in putting NBC viewers through a surreal experience trying to figure out what's going on in "The Office"...

4 Rachel Maddow interviews Alexander Solzhenitsyn on the humor or attempt at humor in his novels...I didn't see that myself. "You can call me Al' the Solzhe-boy tells her early on in the interviews.

5 In a follow-up interview Nora O' Donnell interviews Paul Simon who wrote "You Can Call Me Al"... he is queried about his communist roots by the usually right-minded Irish gal.

6 Chris Matthews interviews Robert Mueller, the head of the FBI, about the importance of manners at dinner parties and the significance of introducing dinner guests to each other if they can't manage to read the name at the place setting...good stuff.

7 Keith Olbermann interviews Patty Hearst and they count hundred dollar bills that have been recalled by the Federal Mint, happily tearing them up and disimissing $100 dollar bills as milk money...the kidnapping stories are engaging and Keith inquires how she actually planned her own kidnapping and how she also managed to not bribe the right people along the way to stay out of jail...good stuff.

8 In a follow up interview--that was never aired-- to the thrilling Hearst interview 'Lindbergh baby" descendants are interviewed by Chet Huntley in a badly timed interview coinciding with the Patty Hearst "supposed" kidnapping.

9 Ed Schultz who is often thought of as a jovial Nazi interviews Bernie Maddoff and John Banner of "Hogan's Heroes" fame. The warmth was obvious as Sgt. Schultz indeed stated "I know nothing." We already know "Mister Ed" Schultz knows nothing...that's obvious, DuHHuuHH!

10 Not to be outdone but only barely making the top ten list is Comedy Central and NBC volunteer Steven Colber(t) who interviews Al Roker about how he gets his dinner guests to ACTUALLY pay heed to his advice and USE the correct fork and glassware. How embarrassing it is to always have to repeat that he insists!
