Jon Stewart: confronts NBC's Chris Matthews: New book is "a recipe for sadness"
Chris Matthews of NBC and MSNBC went on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to plug his new book, Life's a Campaign: What Politics Has Taught Me About Friendship, Rivalry, Reputation, and Success.
Stewart hates the book. He calls it "a recipe for sadness....This strikes me as artifice. If you live this book, your life will be strategy. And if your life is strategy you'll be unhappy."
When Stewart compares the book to Machiavelli's The Prince, Matthews beams, saying, "This is better."
Matthews is astonished at Stewart's vehemence. "This is a book interview from hell. This is the worst interview I've ever had in my life..."
Amazing to watch Stewart call Matthews out for lack of substance. Here's the five+-minute clip.
