I'd been on everybody else's show and there was always a preinterview. somebody would come with a tape recorder and you'd talk for three or four hours, and they'd take it back and it would be transcribed, and it would be given to the writers, those many writers you see on all those shows, larry king, letterman, leno, etc. and then they choose the answers that will be most evocative on their show.
