Inside the Actor's Studio...with Mayor Bloomberg?!

August 01, 2005

BL Producers are nerds for news shows (local and national), and generally we try to keep our obsessions to ourselves (Did you know that Chris Matthews worked in the Carter White House? That Chris Wallace is Mike Wallace's son).

But Marcia Kramer's interview with Mike Bloomberg on WCBS yesterday morning (at Katz's deli) cries out for a mention. How to say this?...it recalled an interview inside The Actor's Studio with James Lipton.

Has being mayor changed you at all?
How do you blow off steam?
Do you have a motto that you live by?
What was the best father's day present you ever got?

Who do we have to blame for these cotton swabs of questions? According to the CBS website, the questions were submitted by email by CBS viewers!

No, Kramer did not ask the10 questions of Bernard Pivot.
