Carlson To Cooper: “You’re Either Ed Murrow Or You’re Pat O’Brien. Pick One”

> Update: 8:29am: “Tucker needs to revisit history,” an e-mailer says. “Edward R. Murrow used to do his own celebrity interview show. It was called Person To Person…”

On Friday, Anderson Cooper invited Dave Chappelle over to his house to watch the Lost Episodes. The 360 celebrity interview wasn’t a ratings hit, so what did CNN do? They reaired it Monday night.

Tucker Carlson wasn’t impressed by the interview. After playing a snippet of it on Tucker, he said: “There’s nothing wrong with interviewing Dave Chappelle. There’s nothing wrong with being the modern reincarnation of you know some hard bitten news man of the ’40′s, right, Ed Murrow, but it’s impossible to be both at the same time. So you’re either Ed Murrow or you’re Pat O’Brien from ‘The Insider.’ Pick one.”
