*Blip*
What was that sound? Oh, that was Holly Hunter, who is now on my radar.
....
Holly Hunter was the guest on Craig Ferguson's show tonight (well, technically, this morning).
At one point during the interview, she mentioned that she was watching a lot of Charlie Chaplin lately. Ferguson didn't seem to know what to say to that and kind of laughed and made an uncommitted joke.
Hunter then said something like, "Forget Chaplin. Let's talk about Keaton. Buster Keaton." Ferguson obviously isn't terribly familiar or fond of the silent era, because he was still at a bit of a loss for words. I think he asked what she wanted to talk about relating to Buster Keaton.
Hunter asked (paraphrasing), "Well, is he better than Chaplin?"
Ferguson didn't have much of a response. He said he hasn't really given it much thought, but didn't Keaton's career die sometime in the 1920's? Holly Hunter told him he should look them up again. He then moved the conversation on by saying he watches Marx Brothers with his kid.
I would like to take this moment to answer Hunter's question, on behalf of Craig Ferguson:
Yes.
