I caught part of a strange interview with Brian Williams, the journalist who’s taking over from Tom Brokaw as anchor for NBC’s evening news show. It was just a puff piece on an entertainment news show.
Ditsy interviewer: ‘That’s some big shoes you’re filling.’
Williams: ‘Oh absolutely.’
Dits: ‘And do you try and wear those shoes?’
Williams (looking surprised at such a ridiculously stretched metaphor): ‘Er, well, I think you just wear the ones you bring.’
A good save from Brian, but bizarre nonetheless.
