[MonsieurEm]

He completely cut off his answer at the end, where I suspect Chomsky was going to question how our capacities have evolved (or something similar). What was that about?

[JosephDownie]

@MonsieurEm I know I noticed that too, very strange, he asks him whether he has any mega questions which he would like to see resolved and then they cut off his answer, possibly an edit time constraint?

Charlie Rose seems kind of pissed to have him on.

[elizabethfaraone]

@paradoxicalparabola Charlie Rose is an opportunist. Of course he doesn't like Chomsky and is irritated by him.

[nocturnezero]

Strange, but I can't count the number of times I've heard Chomsky say "so let's take, say, the _______, which is a *adjective* _______"

[jamesk48]

Did he call him "Norm Chomsky?"

[bluegreen1138]

My internet vote is for Chomsky

@urcritic I actually think the cut-off was done in the editing room, not in person. Annoying for us, but not quite as rude.

[urcritic]

Rose is on a completely different wavelength to Chomsky. He completely cut Chomsky off at the end of this clip, not because Rose thought he was saying something contraversial, but because Rose thought Chomsky had finished his point which he clearly hadn't. The only reason Chomsky's on the show is because viewers wrote in and asked for him to appear. Rose is not qualified to interview Chomsky.

[paradoxicalparabola]

This asshole actually thinks he is smarter than Chomsky. Rose's passive aggressive attitude towards the end is infuriating.

[panur6e]

@MonsieurEm  Yeah, I'm wondering if that was edited somehow. It seemed like an odd cut. But the way Noam is looking at him in the reaction shot makes me think he probably did interrupt.

i wish rose would stop fucking interupting chomsky, sooooo annoying
