I tuned into catch Charlie Rose’s late night talk show last night, and I was very surprised at what I saw. Charlie Rose had a freakin’ black eye!
Now, I wasn’t sure how to interpret this. He was interviewing former Secretary of the Treasury, Lawrence Summers, so it would be fitting that he would a sport a black eye. Get it, black eye, bad economy?
Ok, bad joke, but you can’t put anything past Charlie Rose. He’s creative, hardworking, and innovative.
At the top of the show Rose explained that he’d taken a spill. But the influential tech blogger Mike Arrington — who was recently on the show — called up Rose’s producer to ask what really happened to the host.
Arrington reports that Rose tripped in a pothole walking down 59th St. in Manhattan.
The host, whom Arrington says is a gadget-hound, was carrying his new MacBook Air, and thus he had a big decision to make: Protect his face, or the beautiful machine? In the split-second before he kissed the pavement, Rose chose to save the computer.
“In doing so, he pretty much hit the pavement face first, unfortunately,” producers told Arrington.
Producers say the MacBook Air was undamaged, save for the blood stains.
Charlie, you are a trooper!
Check the strip.

I knew you had a sense of humor, but I thought it was because L always does something you can rip on so easily. Then I realized, he’s pretty low key compared to the idiotic stunts of celebrities. So how long does it take you to do your average daily blog entry? I’ve always wanted to comment more on pop culture with my keen eye and astute interpretations of the world. I just may have to follow your lead once I’m done listing all the guilty pleasures L and I have discussed for the past month.
Psychoverse,
Thanks for the props! It takes a little while to put these posts together, but most of it is the photo editing. You definitely have a keen eye, and I can’t wait to see your posts!
I’ve been away so I’ve missed all these good posts. Solid work!
