Vint Cerf on Colbert
The intersection of HN readers and Colbert viewers is probably pretty large but I still thought this was worth contributing.
Watching Colbert (and Stewart) I notice how much the internet informs their content. So when they invite and engage with one of the internet's principals it's hugely satisfying.
Vint Cert was the guest last night (Tuesday). The icing on the cake is that Vint not only avoids becoming a plaything for Colbert - as many of Colbert's guests are - but that he knocks Colbert off balance. And Colbert, as he always does, handles it with aplomb.
Great watching.

- terravion 12y agoIndeed, great interview... thanks for sharing.
- vacri 12y agoI remember seeing Vint Cerf speak at LCA - he's a very good speaker, and great at keeping the crowd's attention. He mentioned that his biggest (professional) regret was not separating TCP and IP more thoroughly - it turned out that the layered model had worked wonderfully, and this mixing of these two layers caused later problems, unforseen at the time.

- work_bin 12y agoBeing asked "What makes you so sure you're not in the Matrix?" by Vint Cerf would be the closest I could ever get to a 'spiritual moment'.
- Kenji 12y agoYeah and for the following minute he looked at the table, rather than Vint Cerf's face, when he was talking. Amusing.
- gbog 12y agoI don't even know what is Colbert, can someone explain? For me it is the name of a great man of power under Louis XIV or something like that.
- peterkelly 12y agoStephen Colbert is a popular comedian on US television. His character is a parody of right-wing commentators like Bill O'Reilly. If you haven't seen him before, check out some of his clips on youtube, you won't regret it :) Edit: Unless you have something else important to do today, or for that matter this week...
- strathmeyer 12y agoJust never head or him referred to as only his last name. Perhaps you should review how English names are used??
- smeyer 12y agoI live in the northeastern part of the US and it is extremely common for me to hear him referred to by just his last name. For all I know it's a regional thing, but it certainly isn't rare.
- jamesbritt 12y agoSame here. I think a) It's fairly common to refer to famous people by their last names (Gates, Jobs, etc.) b) The show is "The Colbert Report", so "Colbert" works as a shortened version. Hence, "Did you catch Clinton on Colbert last night?" In any event this sort of usage is pretty typical.
- bmm6o 12y ago> Just never head [sic] or [sic] him referred to as only his last name The submitted title is referring to the show "The Colbert Report" and not to the person, so your snark isn't even on point. That said I hope we can conclude this tedious sub-thread.
- tabrischen 12y agoI like how he actually attempted to address that 'carpet bomb the world with AOL CDs comment'. Some serious awesomeness going on there.
