This is just embarrassing. You're representing a major newspaper, and it looks like you've recorded this with a cellphone.

Oh wait, you have:

"The first interviewer is from the LA Times. That's an important newspaper. We all have to be on our best behaviour. The reporter places a small mobile phone on a tripod. We look at each other, and get ready for the smart incisive questioning. "If you had to lose one body part to frostbite, what part would it be?" Somewhere out in the digital ether, there's footage of the three of us all looking at each other thinking, "What in arse's name has happened to the LA Times?""

You had one of the finest satirists to emerge from the UK in the last 20 years (Iannucci) and the lead actor from one of the greatest American TV shows in the history of the medium (Gandolfini)...and this is what you decided to do with them? This is beyond embarrassing. The questions asked and the presentation of the video are shockingly poor quality.

Shame, shame, shame on the L.A. Times. Are things really as bad as this purple (on my laptop) video seems to be telling us? I'm in school and if I turned in such trash, I'd be laughed out of class. Please don't let this occur again anytime soon.

Lee Abrams and the gang must be so proud of this great innovative reporting.
The future is here.
But not for long. RIP LAT

If you're going to do interviews entirely free of any intelligence, can't you at least make it entertaining? This would have been rejected by the weekly entertainment rags as too superficial and silly for THEM.

Worth watching just for the look of unmitigated contempt on Gandolfini's face at the end.
