Funny Business: Gates on the Daily Show
We're admittedly a few days behind the curve in noting that Bill Gates will appear on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. (Though we take some solace in the fact that Valleywag just caught on, too.) The Vista charm offensive rolls on.
Gates has proven to be a game straight man, sharing the stage at the Consumer Electronics Show in past years with comedians Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien. We love The Daily Show and Stewart, and we hope he treats the software mogul with the same irreverence and wit he applies to political figures. (As opposed to the fawning treatment starlets like Natalie Portman and Kirsten Dunst get.) Alas, business often just isn't that funny. Exhibit A: This hi-larious clip of the usually brilliant Stephen Colbert attempting to skewer consolidation in the telecom industry.
