Piers Morgan's tactic for his CNN interviews is to prerecord them - so that both parties can be made to look on the ball through editing, and he can try to drum up pre-publicity with teaser quotes.
This (spoiler alert) is apparently the best bit of edition Number 1 with Oprah Winfrey. Her worst career moment was the box-office failure of her movie "Beloved." It sent her into what she calls a "macaroni-and-cheese-eating tailspin." Winfrey starred as a former slave in the 1998 film based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. It had the misfortune to open the same weekend as the slasher film, "Bride of Chucky". Sadly she told the same story to the LA Times in December. And Fox News the same thing in 2008. And People Magazine the same thing in 2006.
And on that bombshell, I stick to my view that he'll be doing book and film promo interviews like all the rest of them by late February, and maybe even "experts" like poor old Stephen Sackur on Hardtalk by the end of his first year.
