Larry & Me
I have no idea how this video made it onto the Internet. It’s me being interviewed back in the 1980’s by Larry King for my Frank Sinatra biography. My favorite question: “Why would a person’s sex life be of interest to anyone?” Ha!

Matt & Me
Five years ago I sat down with Matt Lauer on NBC’s The Today Show for a three-part interview. Go here to MSNBC to revisit the entire interview (there’s video too). Among the exchanges, here is one of my favorites:
Lauer: “What about the timing of this book? You’ve been working on it for four years.”
Kelley: “I have.”
Lauer: “Why release it 50 days before what is a hotly contested, incredibly divided election?”
Kelley: “Why not?”
Lauer: “Well, I’m asking why?”
Kelley: “I mean, why not? It’s relevant.”
Lauer: “Do you want people to read this and do you want it to influence their choices as they go to the polls on November 2nd?”
Kelley: “Matt, I want them to read this book. It’s an important book. There are relevant themes here. Is it going to change an election? No. I wrote a book about Frank Sinatra; I still love his singing.”
Lauer: “He’s an entertainer.”
Kelley: “I wrote a book about the British royal family. The queen still sits.”
Lauer: “Nobody goes to the polls to vote for them.”
Kelley: “I wrote a book about the Kennedy family. There’s no more revered family…”
Lauer: “They weren’t in office at the time.”
Kelley: “…in the country. No, they weren’t in office.”
Lauer: “Ronald Reagan was out of office when you wrote about him.”
Kelley: “True.”
It should be an entertaining April.
