Eisner to host talk show
Some people here might already know about this but I just thought I'd post that Michael Eisner's going to have his own talk show on CNBC once every two months. (I don't know when it's starting.)
I would definetely watch it, it seems that it would be quite interesting. Especially if he has Jeffrey Katzenberg on it.

You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!

Eisner isn't like Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil is a fraud with absolutely no talent whatsoever. He's been sued by former patients for malpractice.
Eisner has different strengths and a surprsing amount of presence and charisma. I look foward to seeing his show. Give him a chance.
After all, years ago he wanted to be a playwright. Not exactly a "suit" in the classic sense, now is he?

I never said Dr Phil wasn't a fraud, Eisner on the other hand should be sued for destroying Disney. He systematically killed off every little thing that made it great. He built it up and broke it down. He killed traditional animation. period.ShyViolet wrote:Eisner isn't like Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil is a fraud with absolutely no talent whatsoever.

Eisner may have had his flaws but I still believe he did a lot of good. I'm interested in what he has to say. If he wants to host a talk show, what's the big deal?
Plus he didn't exactly "destroy" animation, they just released a film that did pretty well, and they have more movies in the works. And Eisner didn't consciously or purposely "kill" 2d animation. It's just something that happened, it was a business decision. He didn't force DW, Blue Sky or Pixar to only make 3d, did he?

But in defense of ME, he wasn't the first one to kill 2D animation. In fact, all other major animation studios quit before Disney. Come to think of it, Disney is still doing 2D at the present moment, at least in the DTV world.

Well, I'll just say that whatever else you want to say about him, he's not a boring guy. Especially when being interviewed--he has a very magnetic, weirdly charismatic vibe about him, whether you agree with him or not. It's almost creepy. It'll be interesting to see him asking the questions, that's for sure.
This ain't no Larry King Live! How boring is that man?
BTW just to point out, Eisner filled in for his friend Charlie Rose as guest host on the PBS show and interviewed John Travolta and Barry Diller. (his former boss/mentor at Paramount)
