This week, I went and viewed the 25-odd minute 'talk' of Kamala Harris on Colbert's show. Four observations:
1. On my goofy-index for a chat....1-to-10....it hits 8-to-9 for most of the whole show. If you asked me if she was on some tranquillizer or had a wine or two prior....I'd say I had that impression.
2. In some way, I felt sorry for her....these type of interviews don't effectively work.
3. For comedy show value (like comparing to Leno or Carson)....I can't really give Colbert any high marks. Maybe viewers wanted to see a goofy Harris moment for 25 minutes....but the majority of folks would flip the channel to soccer, cooking with hot spices, or Mission Impossible episodes from 1970.
4. Finally, if you asked me if Harris was potentially a candidate for California governor after watching this....I'd say NO. After eight years of goofy Newsom....most are looking for someone who seems less drugged-up or fake-witty.
