The Charlie Rose Archive
Charlie Rose is the best interviewer on television right now, hands down, yet on the very rare occasion that I run across his program, he inevitably has a guest whom I have zero interest in. But his new website has over 4,000 hours or archived, searchable interviews on video. It’s almost too dizzying of an array to choose from, so here are a few to start with: Jonathan Safran Foer, Oliver Sacks, Bjork, Jay-Z, John Szarkowski, Allen Ginsberg, bell hooks, Andrew Weil, Annie Proulx, David Foster Wallace, and Willie Nelson.
Here are Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed together in the studio:

I’ve long been an admirer of Oliver Sacks’ writing, and lately he’s been contributing more to the New Yorker as well… this interview makes it official though: the man’s brilliant AND adorable. Thanks Chas.

I like Charlie Rose, and I watch Charlie Rose. But he lofts some of the biggest meatballs over home plate to his guests.
He has fewer rough edges than any interviewer, i’ll give him that. But best? Meh …
