Tim Cook to Appear on 'Late Show with Stephen Colbert' September 15

Colbert currently has Cook, Bernie Sanders, TRUMP, Cruz, Elizabeth Warren and Malala in the next 2 weeks. Crazy lineup.

Tim Cook has never said anything vaguely interesting. I wouldn't want him as a guest!

Should be fun to :apple:Watch!

He is very good with another person, as he can play both the straight man and the comic, depending on how the conversation goes. He does have some issues with the monologue, but he also has pretty big shoes to fill.

I still miss Johnny.

Not a fan of Tim Cook speaking in public as he has nothing new to say. But why should he? He's a COO who's taken over as CEO. He didn't found Apple. He's never worked in engineering or software development. He knows how to squeeze money out of customers and materials. Every time I see him I think he should be hawking Perdue chicken instead of technology products. He doesn't say anything that means anything in interviews.

I remember the days of watching and rewatching keynotes. This last one was like sitting through a business meeting. Incremental updates are fine, but listening to the saccharin fawning over them is just as tiring as it would be if you were in a business meeting with a manager trying to jazz you up about some new company initiative. If they used a few less superlatives and cut the presentation time to a quarter of what it was (easy thing to axe: the Gilt Apple TV app), it would have been fine.

The only moment that seemed slightly real and entertaining was Eddy Cue swaggering out like a brassy New Yorker visiting Las Vegas, with his paunch proudly protruding from his gaudy shirt. But then he started talking.

This should be great but it would be better if John Oliver could interview him on HBO.
