The Stand is one of the best books I’ve ever read.

[@susanjohnson4075]

Yes!! I love it and I have read it about a dozen times. I find Something different every time.

[@lukacalov1988]

No shiet sherlock

[@annag9873]

First Stephen King book I ever read and finished it in less than a week. At like 13-14 years old.

[@Nick-NY]

It gave me nightmares, but it was great.

[@vickieevans2600]

It's my favorite book and movie

[@masterofmashup1737]

Greatest imagination in the history of horror.

[@damien1781]

the greatest? um no but he was really good

[@adrianops7]

Master of Mashup absolutely

[@masterofmashup1737]

@@damien1781 Who is or was better?

[@nickjames2050]

One is H.P lovecraft who king is inspired by

[@terryhawkins8191]

Master of Mashup Such a WILD imagination.... I LOVE it !!

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

Stephen King looks great for a man who is about to turn 72.

[@vernonhardapple6983]

AND considering He was nearly killed when he was struck by a Van driven by an idiot who was distracted by his canine (also an idiot) trying to get at the human idiots 'Marses' bars...

[@bulaluigi]

@@vernonhardapple6983 aaaand considering his decade-long bender should have left him looking like Keith Richards

[@fire12731]

Vernon Hardapple accidents happen but when there’s a famous person involved they seem to get different treatment . I know I have been distracted driving , no doubt you have also and no doubt Stephen King himself has . Drivers get distracted by dogs in the car , kids , road signs whatever . I hate when people like you call the driver ( and his dog - ) idiots . Like the dog knows any better?! The driver wasn’t drunk or on drugs . The poor guy feels terrible whether he hit SK or someone else . Give it a rest

[@michaelangst6078]

I don't know about that, but the way your hair looks means everything when you're 50+

[@MOUNTAINOUS]

have you seen stallone or paul stanley of kiss. same age basically and they look wayyy younger. he is looking ok for that age. but if you want to see great. see paul stanley of kiss on this final tour or see stallone in the new rambo 5 movie.

[@gpad1772]

So glad Whoopi will be back with a starring role it's been a Long time she is such a good actress

[@kayfay2535]

G Pad hopefully this means she wont be on the view as much.

[@richardc7869]

I think she was in a movie with Tiffany Haddish last year. She works every year, but had a falling out in hollywood in the late 90’s. She actually mentions on this show about how she was “cancelled” for about 7 years. She had no work until Barbara hired her. I haven’t seen her in a “starring” role since the 90’s. Glad she stays on The View tho, I enjoy her alot.

[@gpad1772]

@@richardc7869 The movie was Nobody Fool but it was a really bad comedy but I haven't seen Whoopi in a high profile project in a Long time until this one. Yeah she was big in the 90's I love her so much. She was my fav Oscar host a long Billy Crystal

[@richardc7869]

G Pad 😆. Oh that’s it, Nobody’s Fool. I did not see it. I loved her as an Oscars host, but Ellen gets the #2 spot for me.

[@TheWarrenFamily]

Totally agree!

[@David-lk5bt]

Reading IT for the second time and it’s even better than ever. My favorite book ❤️ This guy is a legend.

[@turtleanton6539]

Sure is

[@robertwright8617]

Under the Dome is my favourite Stephen King book. The humans in that book is more scarier than the monster called it.

[@adrianops7]

He is so good that I’m scared of him.

[@aizuddin9402]

He not just an author,he also an actor in his movie based on his book.

[@richarddukard8989]

He's definitely a creeper

[@mazatano]

Paiva Jr...Ikr...lol. What I think about is this...if Stephen King hadn't decided to become an author would he have expressed his incredibly bizarre imagination in real world ways??!! I don't think I want to know the answer...lol.

[@carolyndobry785]

He’s not a creeper or demented. Most of his scary stories were written when he a drug addict. Plus syfy was important for Coping in his family after his father abandoned them. His daughter is a minister for gosh sakes

[@ktpinnacle]

I've always loved The Stand because of its geographic scope. I first read it when I was traveling west for the first time, and it really hit home. Plus, the characters were so rich and bizarre. The old film version has grown on me, largely due to the fine actors that were in it. To be able to see a full version with no holds barred is going to be a great experience.

[@gyanmata1234]

True that. It made me realize how well connected the roads in US are .😂

[@miznikki2u]

Wow! Love you Stephen King!!

[@TheWarrenFamily]

He is a genious

[@hmoreno1572]

Ironic how they talked about The Stand and we are going through it 2020.😧

[@spartan7911]

Oh yeah, the SUPER FLU. That was a pandemic within the movie.

[@knownpleasures]

The stand will have to be remade yet again after what happened in 2020 and 2021

[@bkpppooh]

I'm sooo excited!! I'm one of the kids he roped in when I was a child. My Grandmother and Mother are from Bangor, so I grew up with Stephen King. My 1st grown up book was IT!! I was in 6th grade. I'm now 46 and on my 4th copy and can't get anyone to go to the movies with me to see Part 2 :( I have all his movies and books and just sit and wait for the next thing.

[@TheArtofHorror]

He is such a great guy , truly one of the greatest authors .

[@rbnaguila]

I’m 23 chapters in and when he started talking about the ending he wrote, I LITERALLY THREW MY PHONE!!!

[@sugarbritches9745]

I did the same thing! I was about 3/4 of the way through and started hollering so I wouldn’t hear what he said 😆 Just finished the book and came back to finally see what he had to say!

[@shashavengesayi6055]

He’s actually really funny. I still need to read the IT book

[@lndsy86]

Yes you do!

[@oscarfun100]

It is amazing. Friendships, childhood, relationships last a lifetime... on and sure, It is in it as well. :D

[@turtleanton6539]

Do it

[@tucstwo]

It's a long but great read.

Yeah go for it. It's a lot different than the movies and has its own unique magic. Altough I find the historic scenes a bit boring, there's always a keen feeling of pleasure whenever they mention a clown holding a handfull of baloons

[@Savrawars]

Is stephen getting more handsome as he gets older or is it just my imagination? He really looks so good!!!

[@Savrawars]

@al jbug I am 18 year old boy. I am not interested in him in that way.lol. I have to say though, he looks pretty handsome for his age. And no, I never care about how much money one has.

[@TH-tl6sy]

He is getting better looking with age. He always had a round face and chubby cheeks with age his face has elongated and there's tissue loss so his cheek bones and jaw line is more pronounced

[@lakeriver393]

He looks like the crypt keeper, he is a great auther but, he is a disgusting human being...

[@doreenmclaughlin6090]

I remember the time in his life when Stephen King didn't have a dime to his name, he had to borrow a little money from a friend, things have changed so much for him now. He's such an accomplished author and does his part to donate to worthy causes. I went to grade school with his wife, Tabitha, and have read her books also. I was a friend of her family especially her younger sister, Cathy,, and I spent a lot of time at the Spruce household. Also I used to help Tabitha carry some of her books home from school. Tabitha was a very quiet girl, and she loved to study and read, and would have so many books to take home. My brother played in a band with another man who eventually married Tabitha's older sister, Anne. My brother was lucky enough to get invited to Stephen's house in Bangor and swim in his pool and do a little partying there. It's not often we have such a well known celebrity right here in the area that is just leading a "normal" life.....it's way cool!!!

[@richardc7869]

Good for Whoopie, getting a gig in The Stand, I know she’s a huge fan. I will surely watch, love The Stand!

[@NKA23]

King is right, you know. He "got me", when I was 12 and "I am his" forever.

[@turtleanton6539]

Same here

[@Smoove_J]

My brother gave me Pet Sematary when I was 12 and I’ve been a fan ever since. I was definitely the weird Stephen King kid in high school.

[@MistahUnknown]

As creepy as it sounds...

[@tripperwillo6247]

I was 8. Ran out of my own library books to read. Stole it from my older brother. Didn't understand half of it, fell in love forever anyway. Wanted to grow up to become Stephen King: Part ll. Still the best book l've ever read in my life, followed closely by "The Dead Zone" and "Firestarter".

[@NviGWarren]

Wow!! Whoopie is in The Stand!!! One of my all time favorites.

[@chrisez3188]

Currently reading Firestarter!!!!! He’s such a great author

[@fergalhughes165]

I'm on Pet Sematary

[@counga2003]

I love the Stand and I can't wait to see the series of it.

[@TheWarrenFamily]

I cant wait either. He is a genious

[@TheWarrenFamily]

@Michael Anderson true!

[@chicnoir29]

Sis we are about to live The Stand.

[@khaynes4825]

I’ve stayed at that hotel! They play “The Shinning” on a loop on one of the channels on the tv in each room. Sadly, there was no maze to run through.

[@fredrikgranstrom6743]

the shinning dont wanna get sued

[@marew.2181]

Besides the ones everyone is mentioning, I loved Salem's Lot too.

[@patrickherbermann1202]

My favorite of his, really. Focused where it needs to be, sprawling when it can be. Beautiful prose, too

[@silviaoino2648]

I read this book at 13 yrs. It was so huge and so confusing with the many characters and plot lines yet so enthralling that i couldn't put it down. My folks were livid!!! And now that I see it, i was crazy to enjoy that book at that age.

[@thebadbandito]

He seems like he's a lot of fun to be around.

[@allisonsmith9506]

Omg omg omg a button episode!! This book changed my life. I had so many emotions reading the stand please Stephen king dont kill Fran or stu! When stu lived I cried happy tears!

[@Lilyrose23]

Only a writer/ author can go to a beautiful place to relax but instead come up with a horror story inspired by the place 😂

[@tucstwo]

Without a doubt, the best part of "The Stand" 2020 CBS series is Marilyn Manson playing Trashcan Man. So perfect.

[@RohitKumar-vp3kq]

Is the show good?

[@chrishellize]

I'm another one of King's people since childhood

[@jenniferjacobs228]

I am just seeing this and it's now 27th dec 2020 and the first 2 eps of The Stand have appeared and imo are incredible. So good.....Love every minute from the first scene. Congrats to all involved and can't wait for the rest.

[@tjpm]

Well at least i'm not the only one that wasn't completely satisfied with the ending. Good for Whoopi, I love to see her on my screen always.

[@uwadiercks5324]

[@michaelrobles8475]

Love your Work STEPHEN KING!👌👍💚✨

[@press1500]

favorite author of all time

[@theredpillar4149]

Don't forget the Talisman, one of my first great reads as a young lad. Fyi, The Stand is re-released on audible, steven added an additional 500 pages and it's almost 50 hrs long now. I cant wait to get into it for the first time!

[@mshaddds8013]

Yes! He wrote that one with Peter Straub and I always wanted that book to be made into a film. I loved the character Wolf. And Jack’s mom smoked “Herbert Tarrytoons” haha

[@marynoellias9256]

Love, love Stephen king! Can't wait to see the remake of the Stand! Congrats Whoopie on the role!

[@julioacceus253]

Such a pleasant interview.

[@asbisi]

He is GREAT! Funny, my husband and I had a similar experience in a large hotel out of season. We were totally alone there, it was so much fun! We were imagining we were in the Shining, and when not that, just playing loud music and roaming the corridors. :D We had the staff all to ourselves and got to sleep in without extra charge the day we were checking out - no one was coming anyway. I recommend this: large hotel, out of season!

[@javonezell]

I luv him & his incredible stories ❤️

[@glenguldbeckmusic3410]

Thanks for posting this!!! Reading the new King book (The Institute) currently and can't wait to see the re-make of The Stand. Whoopi will be awesome and clearly, she is beyond excited to be in the movie. Can't wait...

[@vinnievee5710]

I wonder what year they will set the new series of The Stand. The uncut version is set in 1990 but that was 30 years ago, technology and infection control have progressed so much in that time. If they choose to set it in present day it will be interesting to see how the existence of the internet with accompanying technologies could change the story.

[@jonathonbattiest4522]

I read the stand back in 1992 what a great read.

[@gregedgar6012]

To be able to imagine that stuff but still be so nice and funny. True genius.

[@veronicasalas2666]

The Stand is my favorite movie of Stephen King. I need to read the book. So excited they’re remaking it. My favorite book is “The girl who loved Tom Gordon”

[@lookhowshegobbledthat]

God, I love this man.

[@sr5idontneednoguy]

The Dark Tower series is epic. I love how many of his books reference it’s content. Haven’t seen any Roland fans in the comments. Kinda surprised :(

[@latnboii]

Awesome people sharing their stories and Steven King!

[@agriswold2009]

Total legend!👏🏽👏🏽

[@araineacutebrownnurse7315]

Omg my mom and I absolutely LOVE STEPHEN KING 👑!!!!! HE IS THE GOAT!!

[@reneelasswell3734]

If by The Goat you mean Black Phillip.

[@judyosborne8163]

My favorite book of his is Salem's Lot. That book scared the heck out of me. And the 1979 TV movie was the best.

[@JamesMMcCann]

Number one (possibly the only) rule with writers; don't ask where the ideas come from. And queue...03:01

[@fattidiliberta]

this is so awesooomeeeee!!!

[@Tonysmithmusic]

they should make a series of salem’s lot, the scariest film in the 70s with james mason. stephen king is a genius.

[@Sheplannedahappylife]

The Shining is my favourite Stephen King book ❤

[@rjspear]

The most over rated movie. Even Stephen doesn't like it.

[@riase]

The Stand book is excellent.

[@yarragongoats]

cant wait to see the remake of The Stand

[@mrwhale7351]

It's so strange to me that everyone who talks to king asks how he got his ideas but there are so many more better interesting questions to ask.

[@savingfelvkitties7424]

Love love love king. He is a true genius. Been a king fan since I was in 7th grade and read Christine. I'm interested to see what the new ending is and can't wait for hopefully a good movie of the stand. It's hard to make King's complicated books into movies and unfortunately their have been lots of bad ones.

[@aedynjakpoetry]

Ths Shining is still my favourite horror adaptation. Love Kubrick and love that Kubrick did such incredible justice to Stephen's novel.

[@faaaduma]

It would’ve been nice if he made more appearance in his film adaptions. He appearance in IT 2 brought something to the table.

[@Lori_in_CT]

I read Salem’s Lot when I was 17 and I was so scared I had to go and get in my Mom’s twin bed.

[@ronpaul1082]

The new stand had no chance . The 1994 version had so many perfectly cast actors for the roles . Nadine cross , tom cullen , nick andros , harold lauder , even trash can man was unbelievably acted and perfectly cast .

[@cabalpaxiarch7239]

Wouldn't it be funny if he suddenly wrote a nice romance novel?

[@Bs60182]

Can’t wait for the stand

[@christinarobinson516]

Yes!

[@durtykurty4933]

"Did you see two little girls there?" King went "shhhh" because that isn't in the book at all, and is something Kubrick made up. BTW, The Shining from 1980 isn't at The Stanley Hotel like everyone likes thinking. I've lived in Colorado my whole life, and have always been irritated when people think that it was filmed there. I made a video walk through of The Stanley hotel just so people can see how different it looks compared to the movie that is very loosely based on King's work.

[@chrisbabin2738]

He’s lives in Bangor Maine which is where I grew up. I’ve met and my grandmother knew him.

[@blackbird2380]

I ❤ Stephen King. My favorite author since I was a child. The Stand is one of my favorites and I'm looking forward to the remake. RIP Ruby Dee 💕

Why am I a little obsessed with him and his movies. He is trying to make me cross over too😫

[@ree214]

[@MsBluheart]

Stephen King has a plethora of wonderful books out there, why do they just keep making the same ones into movies and miniseries over again? Let's see some of the long forgotten ones instead, or the fantastic new ones, like "Sleeping Beauties".

❤️ him.

[@AlexanderUnit-731]

The main problem of ending in "The Stand" is that the heroes did not have to do anything to win. God did everything for them so their trip to Las Vegas had no sense.
