morrissey interview Craig Kilborn 2002

[1959SPM]

Morrissey is too good looking!

[curry33343]

Kilborn shut then fuck up and let the man talk

[99CB02]

god he loves himself

[DoctorMeatDic]

@99CB02 cunt

[UnderTheAffluence]

Morrissey looks so small when next to 6"5 giant Kilborn.

[Smallville357]

he is my 5th favourite person on this planet....

[ChiliPeppz]

He's quite literally the shittest interviewer I've ever had the displeasure of watching. On the other hand, love Mozza here!

[narutoanimefan300]

I absolutely hate this interviewer..... he not only patronizes morrissey, but he doesn't let him finish speaking..... uuh.

[jjhomefri]

craig kilborn is horrible at interviewing people

[rachaelwithoutthea]

"i'm actually very happy" WAHOOOOOOOOOO!

[ContradictingFerret]

i wanna punch the bleedin prat thats interviewing morrissey cuz i get the impression he's patronizing the one man he should. not. patronize.

[OmicronVolk]

@ContradictingFerret I was a fan of Craig's show, and I know for a fact he loved Morrissey. He even made up a tribute character called Sebastian, The Asexual Icon.

[TranslucentBubble]

I love you Mozz!

[Catmint1971]

such a gracious man Mozz is. Kilborn should've been on his knees

[lavieperdu]

What is it he mouths to the audience at 3:11 that makes them laugh?

[Burncourtable]

Morrissey is a hero of the working class

[yeneci1]

This has to be the best interview i have seen, it is so lovely how morrissey is charmed by Kilborn's short and narrow mind.

[stumuch1040]

this douchebag is unworthy or interviewing morrissey

[bradford71us]

@stumuch1040 actually, not really. he is and always has been a morrissey FAN on a personal level. he got morrissey on his show because he, himself, is a fan. i give the guy credit for his personal taste in music in any case.

[franklymrshanklyy]

@danmancmufc my thoughts exactly 

[WesleyDieson77]

Fuck Kilborn

[tormentors]

Craig Kilborn is so stupid,he doesn´t even know the words to Everyday is like sunday and the jaw comment is stupid as well,Morrissey is so hot,he´s envious that´s all.

[werobal]

CRAIG IS DESPERATELY TRYING TO GIVE MORRISEY A BLOWJOB!!

[danmancmufc]

Im a big fan of Dido........... what a cunt

[CopyriteInfringement]

FUCK American Idol

[snoopiesdad]

you know youre an icon when your name becomes a football chant

[westifer]

Closed captioning... Transcribing Audio is awesome...

[smilelikeUmeanit90]

He is Quality.

[74bomayemcfc]

kings road stretford in the house!....

[TheKnyghtmirror]

He was on 2 nights in a row on Kilborn. This was near the end of Kilborn. I was always in the minorty, because I liked Kilborn. Its a big deal to get Morrissey, but 2 nights in a row. I do believe he lives in L.A. where he is worshipped by a lot of people. I'm a big fan, and he is a very humble guy, which is so rare.

[bsouth86]

Thank God Kilborn is off the air. Morrissey is one of my idols but kilborn butchered this interview

[upyerrzzz1]

@bsouth86 You know, I used to THINK I was a fan of Kilborn's years back, but you're right; he DID butcher this interview. Now I realize how annoying Kilborn can/could be. Every time Morrissey was trying to continue a point he was making or a story, Kilborn cut him off with his next spazzy question or comment.

[Badnewsbroad]

God, you are soooo fucking cute. Love you, Morrissey!

[WonkyAsian]

haha he seems so gracious in this interview :) yay

[super95cooper]

is that leather hes sat on?

[UnderTheAffluence]

@super95cooper Is that ignorance you are parading?

[markslfc9823]

@super95cooper First thing that came to mind!

[DoctorMeatDic]

@super95cooper why pamper life's complexities when the leather runs smooth on Kilborn's seat?

[1959SPM]

Moz is God 

[PleaseSmashTheTarget]

I think 'craig kilborn' gets jelous of the reception he gets, and so he should. its like interviewing a god

[DJDanielPeterson]

why did morrissey say that about jazz? i thought he was into jazz a bit.. 

[babydub77]

idiots dont get the lyrics....nowt miserable about it!

[edhusse]

what the hells happens at 3:13, what does he say? I can't figure it out!

[AngelExplodingHeart]

Lol that´s a Mexico t shirt with morrissey name on it.

[Pherchie]

@AngelExplodingHeart Hahaha Mexican people listen to music too...

[TheHelenasan4]

Jesus Christ, how tall is Craig Kilborn??

[tonedec66]

Kilborn is a dork..he doesn't have a clue who Morrissey is..poor man..a big fan of dido? what was he thinking?

[gyzmorph]

Morrissey is in a totally different class. No comparison to other artists.

[gyzmorph]

Morrissey is i na totally different class. No comparison to other artists.

[nitemare125]

jeez i think id have way better questions to ask morrissey than killborne!

[HardforJesus]

Kilborn is a pretty slow individual, isn't he?

[rockondon]

cool interview

[Dentark1]

Did he say he didn't like Jazz or did he say he didn't knew who "jazz" was like a joke?

[TheHelenasan4]

@Dentark1 He said "You should stop that, It's going nowhere." He was joking. :)

[willthebestest123]

there are indeed too many commercials...

[Dilaltastic]

Jazz a once great genre, is going nowhere.

[DaVooz]

Hear what he said about American Idol and stuff in 2002 and compare it to Ricky Grevais recently on the same subject, it's true...

[DaVooz]

Lovely, disturbing and sad. Unbeatable. But eh... positive and happy? Okay! If you say so!

[DaVooz]

He's truely moved. For a guy that was so awfully lonesome in his teens it must be shocking and painful to be greeted with such euforic enthousiasm. It must be hard to handle.

Love the guy, if only for that unique lines (sing along):

Everyday is like Sunday

Everyday is silent and grey

(when you're on your own)

[dams66black]

he needs to come out of the closet. he is dying inside, craving to be liked but he can't show who he is so seeks a twisted validation with anybody who will accept him. sad

[natmanprime]

@dams66black interesting. I think the world is FULL of people like that.  WAY more that people suspect.

Fascism/culture/religion suppresses it.

[pekusita]

@dams66black i don't think he NEEDS to come out, he said it before, he has nothing to hide and somewhere i read he had a long relationship he just never said if the person was mal or female, and i really don't think about anybody thinks, only about his true friends and fans :)

[dams66black]

@pekusita you've just made my point: "He never said". He is a frightened, lonely, thin-skinned little man. Forget "true friends" if he can't be himself or comfortable in his own skin. I just pity him.

[gabsylv]

@dams66black But his artistic life is (or at least has been) very rich, and he communicates musically rather than through other channels than conversation.

Neurosis breeds genius.

[pekusita]

@dams66black i don't think he NEEDS to come out, he said it before, he has nothing to hide and somewhere i read he had a long relationship he just never said if the person was male or female, and i really don't think he cares about what anybody thinks, only about his true friends and fans :)

[Beetlebum1992]

what a asshole with the jaw comment, morrisey looks and is way fuking cooler/ better lookin than this fool

[Flowerblood]

Americans trying to do a football chant is pretty funny...

[schroeder666]

not all American audiences are like this. Craig's were just always rather hyped up, smug and fratty.

[DJDanielPeterson]

@schroeder666 And in Los Angeles.. Huge West Coast following of Morrissey, The Cure, Depeche, etc. Not so much on the East Coast.

[waggy55]

morrissey says it perfect about the american idol part

[frenchielcfc]

lol mad yanks

[jespero93]

this is the second interview with morrissey that ive seen and i can honestly say that he is right about pretty much everything he says. i cant stand people who think too highly of themselves, and morrissey does not do that. he appreciates music for what it is, art.

[desasterz]

I like Morrissey as an artist for his lyrics.

[ShAdOwChAnNeL1]

What he says about music is beyond contestation, Long live Morrissey! Long live Indie! Long live Truth!

[galletacaca]

this is probably the longest introduction ovation in a late show

[desasterz]

Jazz is great!!! Especially Jazz influenced bands like Television and the Velvet UNderground!

[Danielavrasinec]

Morrissey just amazing " your voice or your lyrics you think people like " no is the way i look" bah

[SillyUnusualGirl89]

Yes! he hates american idol.

[ridewave444]

To CokeSocial: Because they're stupid, conditioned American audiences who are nervous and wanting attention. As far as Morrisey he's kinda quirkey and you can tell shy in a way. I respect and agree with much of what he says and how he observes the world. :]

[zoomburger412]

i would be so intimidated if i interviewed him. he seems so comfortable

[Supaduck0]

I loved when he pretended to tommygun the music executives

[geklike]

I love that he interviewed a lot of musicians!

[kylem420]

"kilborn is too aggressive/boorish . not very funny "- tuttidog

ur a dumbass kilborn was the man when he did the late late show way better then fergueson i miss watchin this show every night. he related to the younger audience alot better and he was just too good watch his other shows seriously. he loved morrisey too had him on the show alot, a whole week straight once :) TV just isnt the same nowadays

[zeppelinrock]

He's funny :D

[amyshewchuk]

"i think I'm a very positive person...somebody laughed" lol!

[timewillprove]

Morrissey is so charming. What a lovely smile he has.

[whump123]

Haha, the Morrissey wit is still very much alive.

[hannaid05]

Why does Kilborn compare Morrissey to Dido? Or feel it is necessary to mention her when he says he is a fan on Morrissey?

[jrcash27]

@hannaid05 That was an ongoing joke on his show. He used to say the word Dido all the time or make reference to her.

[Marcodf09]

@hannaid05 he dosent mate, its beacasue Dido was on the show he said he wanted morrisey :)

[anchorlove06]

he is so brilliant.

[pluckdaduck]

Morrissey is GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tuttidog]

kilborn is too aggressive/boorish. not very funny.

[coreyjayy]

haha jazz is going nowhere. god i love him.

[JBinOtown]

Did they fire Kilborn? Is that what happened?

[Mozeroscar]

"GOING FU&%$&%$N NOWHERE" jajaja so wise morrissey

[timmythepierate]

because it's Morrissey lol. It happens on every television appearance, concert, signing, everything lol

[timmythepierate]

hahaha, another original joke I certainly have never heard from a british person before

[timmythepierate]

oooh clever, clever.  Touché!

[Jobyperry]

@CokeSocial that's the american audience hahahaha

[sidewalkpilot]

@CokeSocial i farted up your fart ass. fara you b.

[crybabywithoutacause]

@CokeSocial In their defence, im sure if I was that close to moz id be making some noise too :)

[jrcash27]

@CokeSocial It had been a very long time since Morrissey was on US television.

[unknownpleasures100]

@CokeSocial because he's God

[tyrone199]

@unknownpleasures100

He's a normal human being, he just expresses it well.

[DrewBludd]

@CokeSocial i disagree. it shows some people who wouldn't otherwise be aware of Morrissey just how loved and popular he is.

[whitbyjet65]

@CokeSocial It's the modern disease where everyone wants to be a star. It's more about the bloody crowd and the interviewer than the actual performer.

[butcherasdf]

"somebody laughted" hahahaha

[laineynova]

"my family"

[JadeBadClips]

He lives in sweden!? :D

[Ulmeyda08]

No he doesn't he said IRELAND.

Back then he lived in LA and had a home in Ireland too.

These days lives in Rome.

[GLG1957]

What a lost opportunity to partake in a rare interview with a such a brilliant artist as Morrissey. It was almost as if Craig Kilborn was trying to portray the type of American that so many Americans despise. Not even being able to get a snippet of lyrics to a very famous Morrissey song correct !? Morrissey showed the class and composure of Clark Gable by not walking off the set but had he shown Mr. Gable's temper I would have fully supported him.
