Michael Eisner grills Pat Robertson

Michael EisnerEvery time I've tuned past Michael Eisner's CNBC show, I've thought the same thing: "As a talk show host, he sure makes a heck of a major studio executive." The former Disney CEO, to put it kindly, didn't conduct the most riveting interviews.

But maybe my opinion of him has changed. According to this New York Post story, Eisner raked televangelist (and self-proclaimed strong-legged) Pat Robertson over the coals during a taping of Eisner's show last week. In particular, Eisner took issue with Robertson's views on gay rights, his call to assasinate Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, and his view on whether or not Jewish people go to heaven. Robertson's PR people sent CNBC an e-mail expressing their disappointment with the interview, which was obtained by the Post.

I'm surprised Eisner didn't challenge Pat to a leg-press-off. But it looks like he made Robertson quite uncomfortable, which is always the sign of a good interview.
