The first time I went on The Daily Show, nearly five years ago, I dreaded it for weeks in advance. I had a terrible fear of going on TV and had avoided it scrupulously, even in publicizing our first book. When Jon Stewart came knocking, however, it was impossible to come up with a credible reason to give the publisher as to why I couldn’t do it. I had no choice.
I survived.
Then we made the mistake of writing a second book.
Now I have to go do The Daily Show again, and tonight is the night.
I don’t fear going on TV the way I used to, although I’m still pretty bad at it.
I had even convinced myself that it couldn’t go that badly, could it? Then I made the mistake of watching this Jon Stewart interview with Jim Cramer.

Just stick to your convictions and you will do well. That said, compared to being on Leno, Letterman or, even on, CNN or CNBC, the format of the Daily Show and Jon Stewart himself make for a formidable environment.
Don’t act so sheepish and nerdy this time! A little more extroverted please!
Good Luck.
He probably won’t be too hard on you.
I’d say Jon is much fairer when it comes to listening to other’s arguments that many of your other critics. You’ll be fine.
Awesome! I love the Daily Show! Greenspan did pretty horrible, too.
Stewart ended up looking rather dumb in that one. Own him Steven…listen to that locker room recorded Bobby Knight motivational speech first…8-10 man!
If you say stupid stuff, he will make fun of you. If you play straight with him, he will still go for the laugh but not at your expense.
Cramer deserved it, and obviously didn’t expect Stewart to do the work ahead of time. Foolish boy.
You’ll do fine. But maybe watch out for the geo-engineering thing. :] Enjoy yourself.
