In May of 2009, the Times’ Deborah Solomon interviewed pollster and messaging expert Frank Luntz for her weekly “Questions” column. She challenged him immediately over the phrase "Washington Takeover" in a 28-page memo titled “The Language of Health Care.” Luntz admitted that he didn't know if "takeover" was a correct description, which Politifact rated Luntz’s “takeover” its Lie of the Year. Though Luntz's reputation remained unscathed.

Last week, audiences at a Steve Martin talk at the 92nd Street Y were offered a refund after apparent complaints due to the fact that Martin was talking with interviewer Deborah Solomon about the art world and his new novel "An Object of Beauty" instead of, you know, funny stuff. As my colleague Matt Singer wrote, "it's hard not to see the audience's reaction as a pretty horrifying example of our instant gratification culture's dark side." Today at the Guardian, Brian Logan mused:
We load comics with expectations; we depend on them to prove that life is funny, to undermine seriousness and release tension. It can be disorientating and disappointing when they submit to the seriousness of life. When they reveal their prosaic desire to be taken seriously, just like you and me.
Fortunately for all, Martin and Stephen Colbert proved that it's absolutely possible to have funny, clever conversation...

Steve Martin wrote an op-ed piece for The New York Times on Sunday further detailing his side of the recent 92nd Street Y interview debacle that resulted in audience members receiving a refund in the form of credit at the New York cultural center. (They were unsatisfied with a conversation that revolved around the art world, the subject of his latest novel, An Object of Beauty.) Read it in full. He says when he arrived for the conversation with art scholar and friend Deborah Solomon, the Y told him the conversation would be telecast on closed-circuit TV across the country.

Hello, Zoners! You don’t have to tell me why I Do like Mondays! Sure, it’s a day almost everyone dreads, but for us it means a new Report–and that’s always good. And we must savor every show now, because very soon the holiday break will come, leaving us bereft.
What a great lineup this week, including two Pulitzer Prize winners, a Tony Award winner, and one of my favorite novel writing, bluegrass-playing comedians ever.
Monday December 6: Garry Trudeau
Happy 40th birthday, Doonsebury! Garry Trudeau debuted his cutting-edge, politically satiric strip (the continuation of his earlier, deliciously titled Bull Tales) in 1970, when the Vietnam War still raged and the cultural strife of the 60s remained explosive. For his unique work, Trudeau received the very first Pulitzer Prize ever awarded to a cartoonist. Doonesbury has also been adapted for TV and stage.
In 2004, Stephen and Trudeau appeared...

Steve Martin is upset after learning his fans were offered a refund over a flop discussion session with the funnyman earlier this week (begs29Nov10).
The actor was interviewed by New York Times Sunday writer Deborah Solomon in front of an audience at the 92nd Street Y venue in Manhattan on Monday evening.
However, the hour-long chat centred mainly on Martin's passion for art rather than his star status - and organisers offered ticket-holders their money back.
Executive director Sol Adler says, "Steve Martin is and has always been a gracious and inspiring presence on our stage and our patrons showed nothing but admiration and support for him in their comments to us. Our decision to offer a refund was a direct response to numerous complaints we received about how the interview itself was conducted.
"We acknowledge that last night's event with Steve Martin did not meet the standard of excellence that you have come to expect from 92nd Street Y. We planned for a more comprehensive discussion and we, too, were disappointed with the evening."
Martin admits he's upset over the incident, describing the refund offer as "discourteous".
He tells The New York Times, "It seemed to me that a consultation was at least in order. As for the Y's standard of excellence, it can't be that high because this is the second time I've appeared there."...

New York City's 92nd Street "Y" is noted for its program of hosting intelligent, in-depth interviews with famous people in the arts. However, things went awry when Steve Martin was interviewed last night by his friend, New York Times writer Deborah Solomon. The discussion centered on Martin's knowledge of and enthusiasm for the field of fine art, which is the subject of a new novel he was promoting. Solomon and Martin thought things were going fine in front of the well-heeled audience, but backstage it was another story. E mails from people watching on close-circuit TV began to flood in, complaining that the interview should cover more mainstream topics such as Martin's comedy work in films and on TV. A note was actually delivered to Solomon on stage instructing her make the change. Solomon...

The 92nd Street Y, a cultural and community center in New York known for its arts lectures, is coming under fire for offering refunds to a Nov. 29 conversation between Steve Martin and New York Times Magazine columnist Deborah Solomon. According to The New York Times’ account, midway through the hour-long conversation, Solomon was slipped a note from a 92nd Street Y rep telling her to please broaden the chat — which had revolved primarily around the art world, the subject of Martin’s latest novel, An Object of Beauty — to include his movie career. Martin told the Times viewers watching the...

See, I thought I was the only guy who watches Steve Martin plucking away on his banjo on Letterman and thinks to himself, "What I wouldn't give to see that man get back to comedy." Apparently, a whole lot of people at the 92 Street Y in Manhattan agreed with me, and they let Martin know about it. In the middle of an interview!
On Monday night, Martin appeared at 92Y at a public interview conducted by The New York Times Magazine's Deborah Solomon. Martin has just published a new novel called "An Object of Beauty," and it -- and its subject, the art world -- dominated the conversation, much to the chagrin of the assembled audience, who apparently were expecting something more along the lines of an arrow through the head gag. According to the New York Times article about the event:

The 92nd Street Y in New York is one of the prime spots in New York to see the biggest names in film, art, and music speak about their craft and passions. Yesterday Steve Martin stopped by to chat with New York Times columnist and friend Deborah Solomon. And everyone asked for a refund. Why? Because attendees paid fifty dollars a ticket — so they expected more "wild and crazy guy." Not boring art-talk. The weird thing is that Martin was there, and is touring, to promote his latest novel, An Object of Beauty, in which art is a major subject. About halfway through the interview, the two were interrupted by a Y staffer who handed Solomon a note that said to change the subject to Martin's movies and comedy career. In an e-mail to the Times, Solomon said the 92nd Street Y was "[...]...

A 92nd Street Y event with Steve Martin was interrupted on Monday night when interviewer Deborah Solomon was handed a note, which she read aloud, asking her to focus more on Martin's career. Apparently, the note was in response to angry e-mails from viewers watching on closed-circuit TVs who felt that the presentation focused too much on the art world, which is the setting Martin's latest novel, The Object of Beauty. Besides interrupting the interview, the 92nd Street Y has sent an email apologizing and offering all who were unsatisfied a $50 gift certificate refund. Both Solomon and Martin himself have condemned this move as unnecessary and disrespectful, and frankly, it looks as though they're right.

'I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable,' rapper told The New York Times Magazine.

In a new interview with The New York Times Magazine, Eminem declares that his "overall look on things is a lot more mature than it used to be," a statement that apparently extends to his views on gay marriage.
At one point during the piece — which will appear in the Sunday, June 20, issue of the mag — Em is asked by the Times' Deborah Solomon if he'd support a gay marriage bill in his home state of Michigan. Somewhat surprisingly, he said yes ... in his own, uniquely acerbic way, of course.
"I think if two people love each other, then what the hell?" Em answered. "I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable, if they want."
Throughout his career,...

From Wikipedia.Iron-fisted celebrity biographer Kitty Kelley has a written a new book about Oprah Winfrey. By all accounts, it is salacious! According to the New York Post, the book challenges the veracity of “Winfrey’s relationship with longtime ‘love’ Stedman Graham, her reputed dirt-poor upbringing in rural Mississippi, [and] her rumored lesbian crushes on women such as Diane Sawyer.” Nonetheless, in an interview with Deborah Solomon in this week’s New York Times Magazine, Kelley notes that she “approached Oprah with a great deal of admiration and respect.” Learning how to respect others: luckily we already have an uncontested arbiter of human relationships, and it happens to be Oprah. As many people do every day, we went to Oprah.com for some communication tips from marriage expert/apparent Pynchon character Dr. Harville Hendrix and put together this helpful guide for the embattled television host: How Oprah Can Recover from Kitty...
