For those (like me) that missed it, it will re-air (er cable) a few more times over the next 21 hours...

He seemed pretty relaxed. The pot shot about there not being any good french riders was a bit mean, but the rest was pretty light hearted. I liked when SC said he should get a foam hand with 835 fingers to hold up to represent LA's place in the NY marathon.

I actually thought that SC was significantly nicer, and more serious than he is with many of his guests. He even seemed concerned when LA was talking about his involvement with the cancer board and grateful for the work that he (LA) was doing. I was thoroughly shocked and impressed!
All in all, very good interview, with both parties in good form. Many good laughs!

Now add to that, if SC is a fan (I dont' know but this isn't the first time someone has asked if he is a cyclist) you can see why the interview wouldn't be like many of his others.

I got the feeling that Lance was going to follow up the no good French riders comment, probably with some humorous modifier, but the SC spiel kinda got rolling and he couldn't get it in?

I agree that cancer isn't much good for satire, but the great SC made it so earlier in the very same show, regarding the HPV vaccine movement going on in TX. When I heard that, I began to get a little nervous about how the rest of the show. I would have entirely avoided the subject of cancer prior to the interview, if it was me, but SC even said something to the effect of "we need to teach teens that sex gives you cancer."
I guess the reason I watch, though, is because of SC's aversion to treading lightly.

Really?
I'm not taking anything away from the guy but other than figure skating/ice dancing what male sport's repeat champion is less scary?
