What happened to Salman Rushdie is a wake-up call to fight against religious and political extremism in all its forms.
-
What separates Jon as an interviewer is the empathy he lets shine through behind the mask.
-
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what doing your homework on a guest looks like. Best talk show interview of Salman by far
-
I love his attitude and the approach that the person who did this will not be named; do NOT make 'celebrity' of such people. Thank you Mr. Rushdie (and thank you Jon).
-
We have few heroes left, and to see two of them communicating so openly for our entertainment, makes me feel hope.
-
Jon is a better informed and more sophisticated interviewer than most 'real' news anchors
-
This is what Courage looks like, what a hero
-
Salman Rushdie is a true hero. He has fought against theocracy and superstition for decades. We need more like people like him.
-
Salman Rushdie is an international treasure. What an incredible interview by Jon. We need more quality convos like this.
-
The scene on Curb where Larry and Salman eat at the restaurant and all the ladies are swooning over them lives in my head rent free.
-
Salman is so quick witted they played off each other so well and still had a deep interview.
-
A real life example of a pen being mightier than the sword. Mad respect.
-
In the late 90's I had an amazing English teacher in high school, she was also a best friend's mom. She put Haroun & the Sea of Stories on our reading list. That book is near perfect for a teenager going on their own personal journey. This man, and his works are gifts.

"The level of anger is crazy right now." Indeed.
-
His attack is symptomatic of how a huge section of the US public gets angry about things they have little to no information on
-
It’s scary that people can live online only. I’m so glad Mr. Rushdie is still with us!
-
Gahhh!! John is the most genuine interviewer. So unpretentious and honest. Such honest and simultaneously truly humorous banter between two auteurs! Thank you!
-
I'm so pleased to have the fantastic Salman Rushdie back doing what he does best and he hasn't lost his humor. A real beacon of freedom of expression.

Unregulated corporate algorithms created to confirm biases for profit are a MAJOR problem.
-
"Its a very much American attack" nail on the head
