No offense, but it cracks me up when people call an interview an "exclusive" when he's been interviewed many times about all those subjects by bigger, more mainstream sites. Just sayin'...

[XFLexiconMatt]

Well, in fairness, I was given a limited amount of time, and believe me, I had some more interesting questions, but had to prioritize for the sake of public relations, but rest assured, we will aim to secure another part 2, and part 3 in the future.

Certain sites, which I won't name, have gotten tone deaf over knowing when to go too far. I think I can defend that we have always taken an approach that hasn't alienated talent, and that leads to better results in the long run.

I think having some awareness of these points would be appreciated, frankly.

BEER-----> Hope you are all catching 'Better Call Saul' 'cause it's great. It had the highest opening viewers for a cable program - ever.

[manderson]

Not sure what sites you are referring to that go too far...

[manderson]

Actually, the record for highest opening ever on cable belongs to The Closer...AMC tooted their horn a bit too early..

[Beerbelch]

BEER----> Never expected USA as a competitor to AMC. The Closer is syndicated now, Jimmy McGill (Saul) will be on tomorrow.

The term "exclusive" means it's one-to-one, as opposed to a press briefing or an "audience with..." where there are questions from many people. It isn't about the content - if it were, then that would mean there could only be one interview that was exclusive.

The great thing about people like Matt is that people like Vince happily give him interviews, precisely because it isn't a bigger, more mainstream site, so more likely to pose questions that are interesting and focused, and not the same boring thing over and over again.

And enough with the "Just sayin'..." - in Britspeak, that's being snarky.

[manderson]

Well first, anyone who reports or works for a news site knows "exclusive" does not mean one on one. That makes no sense,

Second, i'm not a Brit, so just sayin' means just sayin..

[XFLexiconMatt]

Yes, Beer, I saw that the ratings for the first episodes of Saul were great. Quite pleased by that.
