Stewart v Cramer: The "Potentially Important" Interview!

March 13, 2009

In an interview yesterday with Stewart (Martha), Jim Cramer, discussing his upcoming interview with Stewart (Jon)–aka, per a cover story in USA Today, “one of the most intriguing, and potentially important, interviews of the week”–admitted, “I’m a little nervous. How bad is it gonna be? Is he gonna kill me?”

Dear Jim: Really, really bad. And: Yeah, pretty much. (The Twitter hashtag for the event? #fcu: Fuck Cramer Up. Indeed.)

(The extended version–even more awkward–is available here.)
