I love how the Daily Show has trended towards doing extended interviews that are posted in the site’s Green Room. This week they had a two-parter with comedic legend and new novelist Albert (2030: The Real Story of What Happens to America) Brooks. In the second part, its amazing to see host Jon Stewart in absolute worship mode and getting Brooks to talk about his lucky break on Johnny Carson (Brooks wanted to be on Dick Cavett, but they did not want him, believe it or not). Watch and be amazed.

Comedy is an art and seeing these two talk, however brief it may be, gives a glimpse of some of the history.
