The Billy Show

Last night, I stayed up late to watch Bill Gates on "The Daily Show." While Gates was more relaxed and funny than I've ever seen him (impending retirement can do that), I was hoping for some wildness from host Jon Stewart which never materialized.

And contrary to rumors (spread by my 13-year-old son David), the guy that plays the PC on those Mac commercials never showed. Maybe Gates was also expecting the goofy PC guy, 'cuz Bill bolted uncomfortably as soon as the interview ended, leaving Stewart more perplexed than usual. Check it out for yourself here.
