Misha appreciation week: Favorite Interview → Larry King
My new favourite thing: Misha being 500% done with Larry King’s shit.
that moment in the second gif when he sees it all flash before his eyes and gets terribly amused

I finally figured out what it is about this interview I enjoy. This is Misha Collins when he doesn’t really like you. His answers, yes he’s sick and jesus does he do his best but Larry King interrupts him, hasn’t seen the show, is kind of really weird about the threesome thing and calls him a weirdo. Like clearly Larry King didn’t really like him all that much and the feeling was mutual and as the interview went on Misha got more and more … uncooperative? To us, he would never respond that way. We know the story of West’s name, we know why they picked Anaximander as his middle name but Misha is done. He’s not in the mood and he doesn’t like the person he’s talking to so he says “I don’t know”
It’s fascinating because we only ever see Misha around people he loves. Jensen, Jared, Richard, Matt and all of them, talking to fans, he’s animated, he shares and smiles and has a jovial communicative tone. Add him being sick into it and he is so amusingly done being judged by this man.
Exactly. He admitted that he really didn’t enjoy the interview much at all and that no matter how much he tried to steer the conversation back to the show and to Random Acts and GISHWHES, King kept trying to bring things back to Vicki’s book and the threesome thing. But even though we can tell he was annoyed and not fond of what King was doing, it’s still impressive how professional and charming he was able to be.
Admittedly this was the first Larry King interview I’ve ever watched all the way through but why the hell does this man interview people professionally? I mean I know he’s about 200 years old but he was so monotone and uninterested and it was really embarrassing watching him read people’s tweets from queue cards. Supposedly when he was younger his interview style was considered frank and straight forward but now he just seems like he’s on the verge of death. Although according to his wikipedia page he’s interviewed over 60,000 people so I guess I can’t blame him for being absolutely fucking done
