  • It doesn't matter if it's CNN trying to rip him apart for comments about US soldiers or if it's on friendly daytime TV, Stephen King always arouses this latent jealousy and admiration in the people he's next to. Look, half the people on this show couldn't contain themselves from breaking topic once just to get his attention their way.

  • Meet the Medic.

  • this guy passes the j. that's how he's so smart and creative. The Green Mile was a great book.

  • Love this guy. He writes the best books.

  • This was actually one of my favorite King books

  • I want to smoke a joint with King on Halloween night 

  • Maybe I'm just drunk but I kind of like the view

  • He has a homer simpson mouth

  • I would love to see this book made into a movie. But I'd want it to be made for tv like he did with It and his version of The Shining.

  • "WOW! I've never seen such a BIG book in my life!" I guess she doesn't get out much.

  • He seems like an awesome guy.

  • Karl Marx once said: "I don't have time to write short books"

  • "Instead of a mental hospital, I go on to talk shows." Such a fitting comment for his current situation.

  • @imadude113 which is?

  • 2:15 what did she say!? The guy to the right of her knew. =P

  • There is NO WAY he wrote The Dome recently. It is written like his old style, not like his recent style. It is OBVIOUSLY a book he wrote a long time ago and either forgot about it and/or lost it, and recently found it. (probably in a box in his attic) He might have edited it a little, but NO WAY did he write it recently. He doesn't write that well anymore.

  • I wish he had made Bag of Bones into a movie. You know you're reading a great horror book when you make sure your doors are locked and turn all the lights on.

  • @TheInamanica there making it into a miniseries on AE  i think

  • @TheInamanica Actually, A&E has turned it into a 2 or 3 part miniseries that will air this fall. Pierce Brosnan is going to play Michael Noonan and I believe Jason Priestley is playing Harold Oblowski. I don't know who the female leads are.

  • @moviegeek75 Really A&E Mini Series? I will be looking for that one.

  • ..i love the guy, but really, whats with Steve's nose?

  • After I saw your bitter comments in the author notes during Dark Tower, and then killed every beloved character off in brutal fashion...I determined you were a very small man. You KNEW how your fans felt about those characters and you rebelled on your 'constant readers' in revenge for the insensitivity of a minority during your trials after the accident you endured. You have mentioned that killing "your darlings" is an essential part of your writing but I "see you" and I know what you did.

  • @Prometheus1st Anne Wilkes, is that you? Misery Chastain is dead. Deal with it!

  • @Prometheus1st Misery much?

  • @Prometheus1st ok...you know what? It's going to be OK. Just pick up The Gunslinger and start all over again. I take it you stopped where he told you to on the 7th book? Also, they are just characters in a book...people have asked him numerous times about why a certain character does this or that. He says he had no control, it just comes out that way. What you want is like the Hollywood ending to Cujo. Sometimes kids die.

  • I was very angry with SK after his accident (If you don't know about it...look it up) He made a point of mentioning how ferocious his fans were following his accident while he was simply trying to survive. He was bitter about it...very angry.

    Hey MR King? We didn't KNOW you had been in an accident. No details were forthcoming regarding your condition. All we saw was "Some rich fat-cat sitting on his butt while the "constant reader" was left to think you had sold us out.

    Continued Next

  • @Prometheus1st lol Umad?

  • I want to see more of this interview...

  • What a great story teller is Stephen King....

    I love his tales.

  • You can always spot the intellectuals, they are the first to notice the thickness of a book. That Whoopi Goldsmith is something special, ain't she?

  • Dear Mr. King -

    No one ever says that to you. They all know that short stories are your best medium because your full length novels are in desperate need of severe editing. Please stop thinking that not shutting up is a good way to write.

    Thank you,

    America

  • Creep Show was amazing. Stephen King had a rather large role in it. He was the farmer who turned into the moss man after touching a meteorite that crashed on his land.

  • isn't that a who from whoville?

  • idk how this guys brain works

  • I haven't been a big fan of King's post-accident work (compared to how much I love most everything he did prior to that) but I have to say that "Under The Dome" was an awesome book, on par with anything else he's ever done.

    It's been a long time since I actually read a book that absorbed me to the point where I completely lost track of time and space and just existed within the story like I did with this one.

    I hope he's able to channel that energy in his upcoming novels, I've missed it.

  • @Effedup Wow, I look forward to reading it.

  • @Effedup Wow, I look forward to reading it.

  • Steven King is my favorite author.

  • Then spell his fucking name right.

  • @SuperAngelo13 Apparently not. You can't even spell his damn name. 

  • Face reminds me of Bethenny Frankel's lol.

  • this book sounds almost exactly like a Robert R McCannon book..i it was called STINGER...a town got covered by a force feild and a alien bug creature ran around killing every1..i read that book about 20 years ago...FYI the best book ive ever read by far is called SWANSONG by robert McCammon...its the only book i reread on a regular basis

  • Best part was the opener. Whoopi Golberg to Stephen King: "I have to say, this is a big ass book." LMAO!

  • Stephen King is such a bro.

  • I was at my cousin's house not too long ago, and he had put a Jerusalem cricket (potato bug) into a jar with a small yellow scorpion. THAT, in a nutshell, is "Under the Dome." The Simpsons movie has nothing in common with it. "Dome" is very grim, but it's not just a cynical comment on the ugliness of human nature. Proof positive that Stephen King can still tell one hell of a story.

    P.S.: The cricket killed and ate the scorpion.

  • True story, I dumped popcorn all over Stephen King's head when Lestat popped out of the water during opening night of Interview with the Vampire in the Bangor Maine theater.

    Forever ashamed :(

  • Book readers, check this amazing website: LoveAHappyEnding (dot) com

  • King is the best fiction writer in this generation. I have read every book he has written and will continue to do so.

  • Stephen King rocks!

  • IT,nuff said

  • I'm not a big View fan, but this interview had two of my favorite guys, Stephen King and Thorsten Kaye, a great writer and great actor.

  • 1:34 SImpsons did it!

  • Stephen king aqctually seem like a really laid back nice dude

  • weirdest Stephen King moment was when, as part of a Dave Chapelle show bit, he asked Paul Mooney, 'Do black people prefer to go to black dentists?'

    utterly surreal & confusing

    King is a charmer in interviews tho-the clip of him saying he sat next to a guy in full 'Ronald McDonald' clown gear on a plane while in a fatigue induced mentally susceptible state is hilarious-Conan O show I think

  • "Instead of going to a mental hospital I go on talk shows" LOL He owned the big mouth Baywhore.

  • what a cool guy

  • Horror novel see video book trailer

  • LEGEND.

  • Educate yourself about the holohoax. Go to holocaustdenialvideos website to see 9 hours of free revisionist videos. Also checkout the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (aka CODOH) website to learn more.. Then once you've seen that information you can decide for yourself. You'll never see this information on TV, hear it on the radio, or read it in the newspapers. Educate yourself about this hoax

  • He's birthday is on september 21 mine is too thumbs up if your is!!!!

  • @SuperLPSQueen My Mom's and my cousin's birthdays are.

  • Stephen King faces off against a horror far more frightening than Pennywise, Randall Flagg, or Annie Wilkes: THE LADYS ON THE VIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • @Floppers15 thankfully King is a gunslinger and can handle it, hehe.

  • @Floppers15 *Ladies.

  • i was reading these comments and they became 3-d

  • Stephen King faces off against a horror far more frightening than Pennywise, Randall Flagg, or Annie Wilkes: THE LADYS ON THE VIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • WHEN I SEE STEPHEN KING.... HE ALWAYS JUST SEE A REDNECK

  • i always see books about him at wal-mart or something and he always has some creepy expression on his face o_o

  • If he made Twilight then it would be an awesome movie without any of that vampire glitter and shit. He would put a difference if they made the movie.

  • @MetalRexPS3

    What isn't Salem's Lot good enough?

  • I LOVE Stephen King.....Misery, Cujo, IT, The Shining, The Body (aka Stand By Me), The Green Mile........etc. He's freaking awesome.

  • in my opinion, I enjoy stephen more than shakespear.

  • When I was a kid I always kind of thought 'oh no Stephen King, scary stuff stay away" but as I got older and actually read his work I was so amazed. The horror and the mythology is only a backdrop for his incredibly rich characters.

  • Gecko-haven ass

  • its really odd. he is totally different in his interview than he is in his books. i keep expecting him to just start busting out some cultural references and drop the f bomb 20 times

  • look whopi get all excited over Creepshow. I would have thrown a parade right then and there when he mentioned it

  • I love you Stephen King! <3 :D

  • This book was wonderful.

  • Stephen King is fucking hysterical. Also, a wonderful writer.

  • i LOVE Stephen King! he is like a modern day Edgar Allan Poe!

  • @reymysterios9 but better.

  • It is a BIG A** BOOK!! LOOOOOOL

  • Happy birthday Stephen king.

  • Everyone always expects King to just jump out and start eating faces or something. The mans actually quite humble in person; an intricate imagination.

  • @TavernDragon Most people think that about horror writers. Personally, I think horror writers are the best and the most bold. It takes a different kind of person to be able to truly write a horror story. They really have to be able to handle criticism as well when they put their books out, what with all the over protective mtohers running around.

  • @TavernDragon If any author was bitter and insane it would be Sade not King.

  • Woopie is right that is a big *ss book. But it's epic thats why you read King.

  • lol this is abig ass book, i guess whoopi never read the stand did she?

  • when i first saw the cover of the dome, the first thing i thought of was the Simpsons movie. lol

  • Stephen King looks in the mirror for insparation for his novels

  • im watching tommynockers right now

  • stephen king- best author ever

  • stephen king- best fucking author ever

  • stephen king- the best fucking author ever

  • who is that tanned idiot sitting next to sherry? " I thought we had a bond.....sheesh what a maroon"..

  • Is she an idot? Most of his books are that thick, shes probably only seen the movie adaptations.

  • I'm halfway through reading 'the tommyknockers'. Steven King was born to be a writer

  • Stephen king is kinda creepy looking to...

  • @007aaa2 haha he looks like a molester or pedophile

  • I really can't believe Sheri has read "It", seriously she believes the world is flat.

  • brilliant writer. kinda sucks that his latest novels have been a bit sticky sweet and watered down compared to his earlier works

  • Simply the best!

  • SIMPSONS DID IT! j/k Stephen King is awesome, still need to read Under the Dome.

  • @JimmelHappyFunTime Given, The Simpsons had a dome in thier movie, but that is where it ends. His is not a comedy in the least bit. 1 can even think of Lost (specially, when it comes to the cook). Namely, Sayed.

  • I wish I could pull off King's glasses. >.>

  • This is the first time Sherry Shepard has held a book.

  • Love King.

  • omg, ive been READING that book!!!

  • doesnt stephen king look so much like hes related to dr seuss?

  • Stephen King on The View just looks weird.

  • Haha I LOVE how he mentioned the Simpson's Movie, He must have felt like crying after working so long and so hard to write this book and then a few years before he's finished that movie comes out XD. In all seriousness though, King is one great author. Love his books.

  • Stephen King = class act cool guy

  • @zhs2009 check out the photo reading course. its the shit. it basically teaches u how to be matt damon from good will hunting in a more realistic but still effing amazing way. it works to

  • Lol, that's my reaction to Stephen King's novels! They're really long...how does that happen!

    Good for him! He's a gifted story teller!

  • <3 Stephen King

  • @peaceandlove181 Ditto

  • I don't read much because it puts me to sleep but if I were to pick one person to sum up an entire generation/genre... it would be Stephen King.

  • I want to read that sooo bad! So many books, so little time :D..... im a nerd

  • Stephen King books make me happy.

  • @Lala3295 Reallly? They scare me. I was reading his book of short stories that he made a few years ago called "Just After Sunset". I read the first store and I got so scared that I decided not to read the rest of the book. He is a good author, but whoooo. He's books are definitely not for the faint of heart. My sister LOVES his books, though.

  • He is a cool nice guy, great writer, I hope we invent a immortality serum and Stephen King buys it.

  • Yes and I write to you, Stephen King and I don't know what to think of Under the Dome. I write stories that would give Stephen King nightmares.

  • Stephen king is so kawaii

  • I will sing all their names!!!!

  • @SpazzedOut56 No Roland, you won't

  • Stephen King is by far one of the best writers and story tellers in my opinion. I could read nothing but his books for the rest of my life, but this is only in part due to the fact I've been reading his material since i was a child pretty much. lol

  • @joshisthug i think stephenie meyer is better than stephen king.

    XD

  • @Tiroth77 screw you, you have no idea what you're talking about

  • @Tiroth77 So, you're saying Twilight is better than anything Stephen King wrote?

    LMFAO...Stephen King is amazing, he's one my favorite writers. He's gifted in every aspect and detail.

  • @Tiroth77 you've never heard of 'salems Lot have you?

  • @Tiroth77 yucckky!!!!!

  • I'm gonna go on the record and say that at some times...I just sit in my cubicle and think about having sex with some of the women in my office, and that probably lasts about 2 minutes at a time.

  • Whoever gave this a thumbs down probably isn't straight in the head.

  • Stephen king never did create that lamp monster yet(family guy if u dont get the joke)

  • @DragoDillPepper HA! I'm waitin on that one too!

  • i hope that he doesnt get frightened from these women.... That would make a good horror picture!

  • he is absolutely the best author every in my opinion.

  • Steve, we love you.

  • pet sematary will make u shit bricks

  • great ending haha

  • he lived in stratford ct. and i hated stratford until i found that out. and "on writing" IS amazing, it's a must for any writer.

  • Im Proud to Be a MAINER!!!

  • Stephen King is a great writer. I'm halfway through reading "IT", its the first book by him that I've read, but the power of his storytelling blows me away. Being someone who has loved to write for a long time, reading his stories inspires me to be creative and come up with good writing of my own. I think his books will be remembered for a long, long time

  • @breeeegs

    I'm halfway through IT too! I just got to Part 4, July of 1958. Around page 625.

  • Stephen King. Michael Landon. J.K. Rowling. These people know how to tell a S.T.O.R.Y. And there's nothin' like a great story. Bravo!

  • he's the best.

  • lol stephen king is the greates writer ever

  • You know every so often I see this guys books popping up on the internet in text format, I mean the ENTIRE book. it isn`t scanned, it`s typed out in text. What I want to know is WHO in the name of god would spend all that time copying and typing out word for word a 600 page novel? That`s insane to me. Are people that obsessed with ripping off books?

  • Stephen King has a beautiful mind.

  • i love Stephen KIing!! I wish I could meet him..have a nice dinner and just conversate

  • That book had such a surprising ending, most of the main characters actually survived! Quite uncommon for Stephen King.

  • he's great.  :3

  • I love this man's sense of humor.

  • I go to school less than 15 minutes from where he lives.

  • Nice! What's his house look like?

  • its huge and kinda creepy. its in bangor maine. ive driven past it numerous timmes. its cool

  • sold his soul to the devil...

  • He is so freaking awesome...

  • Rod Serling on an episode of Twilight Zone had a group of people trapped in a "town" they would travel along but never could leave..end event was they were toys belonging to a child, Stephen King surely didn't model this after RS's Twilight Zone episode! I have to get this book.

  • he seems so nice lol weird

  • how the hell does he write so much?

  • I've always wondered that, too. My dad suggested the idea of him having a team of writers. They write in his style, he approves the idea, and it goes out like that. Which may be true. I mean, at 62, it's hard to do that much work. But he also started writing Under The Dome in the 70s. He also said he tries to write 8-9 hours a day. So, I can see how he'd be able to put out so many books if that's his average writing session.

  • when i grow up i wanna be a bookwriter i'll write horror book too im writing about dome trap flint michigan it called beneath the dome.

  • these women on the view are shallow and stupid do they even understand what this guy has accomplished

  • i like the hearts of atlantis

  • He looks really good. I can't wait to read that book. I just read in the NY Times that it's a great book. That's a lot coming from the NYT. Gotta get ahold of that book!!! & if you haven't read On Writing, you should. IT's very good.

  • On Writing is AMAZING!

  • as a chinese i bought this book, translated version,i'm working on a story about chinese kongfu ,buddism taoism,politics and ancient wars,this book helps me a lot,

    long lives the king!

  • @metalman49841 Yes, it is. I'm rereading it right now, and there's just so much good advice therein.
