Chris Rock blames Farley's undoing on his deep-seated need for approval.
"'Chippendales' was a weird sketch. I always hated it," says Rock, "The
joke of it is, basically, 'We can't hire you because you're fat.'
There's no comic twist to it. It's just [bleep]ing mean. A more
mentally together Chris Farley wouldn't have done it, but Chris wanted
so much to be liked. As funny as that sketch was ... it's one of the
things that killed him."
Wow, and I've been laughing at that sketch for 15 years. Congratulations, me, you're an asshole.

Comedian Matt Ruby, the fine gentleman who operates Sandpaper Suit, has done you a favor, and you didn't even have to ask. He combed through the video archives of The Charlie Rose Show and compiled almost every comedian interview from the show, spanning more than a decade. Four Jon Stewart interviews, a pre-Curb Larry David interview, Steve Martin in 96, 98 and 08, they're all right in one place along with a couple dozen other interviews with great comics. Like who?

After the jump, check out the first Jon Stewart appearance on the show, from August, 2001.

airport incident. "You know a senator, the airport, the badge. The guy
puts the badge underneath, I mean, what are the odds these two guys
could possibly meet in an airport bathroom?
"I mean if you
go sit in a stall. I'm going to sit down in this toilet and wait for
someone to try something," Seinfeld said. "It's very unromantic."
Rock said he found the setting unappealing.
"I can't have sex with the TV on. If I'm distracted, it's not happening right? I mean just the smell."
