Ben on Tavis Smiley
I found online links to the Tavis Smiley show.





Direct links:
Part1
http://www.redlasso.com/ClipPlayer.aspx?id=69a39e85-27a7-40f1-ab28-c1c7ece45cc0
part2
http://www.redlasso.com/ClipPlayer.aspx?id=9d8364f2-9bae-4506-92bf-fbe53922103c

I think the videos are only good for about 12 days.

ETA - I want to thank [info]loracj who tried to upload the show for us too.

You're amazing. I've been looking but couldn't find it. I should have known you would.
He looks good doesn't he and sounds even better.
Thanks for posting.

It was really interesting! Smart and funny! Tavis Smiley is also interesting because he asks great questions, in particularly the ones about Obama!
Ben looks good (he looks really thinner compared to his OC's years) as usual. I really hope to see him soon in a movie!

The Obama questions were very interesting, and I loved Ben's articulate and smart answers. I also liked the question Tavis asked him about what he likes to play; comedy or drama? I always wondered about that.

I saw his picture on the Tavis Smiley site before I've seen the clips and thought the hair it a bit too short, but after I saw the clips I thought that it actually looked good, and I loved what he was wearing.

This is probably bad of me since Ben is good friend with Adam, but I just got to say this; Ben looking so handsome reminded me of the last interview I saw of Adam where he was wearing a straw hat and no socks :P

Yeah, of course I watched it live, but that didn't mean I couldn't come here and enjoy it again. Thanks so much for making that possible- and immediately.

Ben definitely didn't disappoint. He was just as I'd anticipated and hoped, from his very relaxed, upbeat, engaged demeanor to his intellect and all the genuine qualities that make him so appealing. Again, if ever we needed proof that God indeed does give with both hands... It's so refreshing to see someone in his position who comes across as being a truly decent person with a healthy perspective and priorities in order. That's a rarity and he's an endangered species.

I tend to watch Tavis Smiley several times a week, so it's a real treat to have Ben in that forum. Tavis Smiley tends to have real conversations and interact in a more personal way without that staged atmosphere or forced sort of tone. This is certainly one of my favorite Ben appearances and chats. It's great to see him looking so happy and at ease and to watch him enjoy himself while having an intelligent exchange. He really is articulate and wise beyond his years.

Thanks again. If it's possible at all to save this to the 'puter, please let us know? We appreciate your work and dilligence!

You welcome :)

He never disappoint in interviews. and I agree he's such a sweet normal guy.

My favorite is still the 2005 Conan O'brien show, but this come close.

He never disappoints- period. I wonder if he has any idea how much he stands out? Maybe it's a good thing if he's oblivious, but I'm glad he separates himself from the fray and that he has such a good head on his shoulders- and apparently a good heart too.

I love the Conan interview too. That second one is very different than this interview, since it's informal in a much more casual, humor-based way. That's what makes them both stand out on their own merits. We get to see some similarities, but also other sides of Ben.

Ben and Tavis Smiley could probably have a roundtable on any number of intriguing topics. Ben and Conan are both that combination of very bright and also very witty without being obvious. They'd entertain and inform.

I wasn't sure if there was an easier way to convert and save from this format. Yeah, I'm a tech idiot!

Now, I believe the "Ellen" appearance is tomorrow. I"m sure that will be much shorter and more of the "fluff" sort, but, again, another facet.

Thanks again!

You're a dear for bringing this to all the flisters who didn't have the opportunity to view it live (well, live-taped for the show anyway) I've saved it for later to watch for the 3rd...4th...5th times while sitting here...)
