The TV Zone

Because that was the Most Important Interview (of The Century) last night, we now go to the videotape to pick some of those indelible moments that made us think deep and hard about why we are on this planet, and just who is - for that matter - Larry King. There were so many that it's hard to break this down, but here goes anyway:

Best pre-written flack-vetted lawyered-up soundbite:
"It was very traumatic experience and everything happens for a reason. [It] was a time out from life to find out what's important, to figure out who I am, even though it's really hard, I took that time to get to know myself."

Second best:
"Don't serve the time, let the time serve you

Biggest Fibberoo of the Night:
When Larry asked her whey she wanted to do the interview, she said, "when I heard you asked me to be on the show, I was excited...I consider you an icon..."

Second...
"I will never drink and drive again..."

Third...
"I was treated like any other inmate, no better no worse."

Strangest segue:
Larry - "Did you read the Bible in jail?
PH: "Yes."
Larry: "We have your mugshot."

Best Larry King set-up line : (which he said upon seeing her mugshot)
"I've seen worse."

Yes, you have, Larry. Here's one, for example.

Scariest moment:
Larry (leaning in thoughtfully, expectantly, hopefully): “Were you strip-searched?...Is it as gross as we might think?"

Best Medical discussion:
When Larry tried to push her on why she uses Adderall, she explained it was for her ADD. (By the way, here's the Wiki list of possible side effects - "Aggression, new abnormal thoughts/behaviors, mania, growth suppression, worsening of motion or verbal tics and Tourette’s syndrome." )

Best food discussion:
Her definition of a sandwich, as something with "two pieces of bread..."

Best closing line:
Larry (turning to camera): "Paris Hilton. Tomorrow, Colin Powell."
