When Jon Snow met Jeremy Paxman

[@bryanmg8164]

Jon Snow and Jeremy Paxman are simply irreplaceable. With Jon's departure this week, we have now lost two of the giants of British broadcasting. The airwaves are very much the poorer now without their presence!

[@LightingJedi]

Huge massive void at channel four gutted I took Jon snow for granted truly saddened by him leaving channel four he made the news exciting he knew how to keep the viewers engaged ..

[@PlayMoreGolf-RipOff]

Paxo, Snow & McDonald sit in a pub having a drink whilst ripping into to todays talentless and spineless news presenters / reporters!

[@ytcensorhack1876]

U know nothing jon snow

[@Awesomanous]

Jeremy Paxman was an awesome interviewer. When he interviewed people it was often like a cross examination by a prosecuting lawyer. The sort of interviewing that all politicians should do.

[@stormadams1126]

Only Paxman could turn the tables and start interviewing Snow! :)

[@martinplatt5928]

Two old geezers....however, I see Paxman as the weak BBC link and I'd prefer Mr Snow as company. I hate being judged.

[@MRayner59]

Delightful. I wish it had been a much longer interview.

[@DeclanFeeneyDJF]

I fear one of them may have fallen asleep or needed to use the bathroom.

[@MRayner59]

Declan Feeney Oh, come on. They're not _that_ decrepit.

[@DeclanFeeneyDJF]

You'd be surprised; they are the sole reason both the BBC and Channel 4 have Nap rooms.

Area Ximus snow is saruman obviously twitter is the eye of sauron, always watching i love both tho

[@RJPhotographics]

'Your love of the halfling's leaf (Twitter) has slowed your mind'. 100% Paxman is Saruman, in cahoots with the darker forces. Just look at Snow's tremendous work ousting the Swine Flu scam!

Jon Snow trying to explaining Twitter to Paxman is like when Charlie Brooker tried to explain video games to him

[@MrTUCTUC1]

Are you sure this isn't from Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon script?

[@catalyst8]

Without a doubt the two best television journalists of _at least_ the last fifty years. Both giants, both sadly retired. I'd never have believed they had such a great rapport if I hadn't seen it myself.

[@saifurchoudhury1645]

The level of conversation is quite amazing. So much metaphors really elegant speech

[@Corinthian44]

II haven't watches television for ten years but , when I did , Jeremy was always worth watching . If he's now retired , I wish him well !

[@ridinwithjake]

There is a difference between them. John wants to tell people what to think where as Jeremy wants to show them facts and let them decide for themselves, he doesn't care what they think. Came out very clear in this light conversation.

[@adamb4667]

Manchester Wine no jon snow and c4 news are the greatest example of impartiality and giving facts instead of opinions.

[@adamb4667]

Manchester Wine c4 news came out on top of the list of unbiased news and Jon snow is figurehead of c4 news. They have to be impartial because they are a public Channel like the bbc not a private one like itv. Their impartiality is precisely the reason why paxman himself has moved to c4 from bbc.

[@alftupper9359]

Paxo's "Messiah complex" swipe seemed to knock Snow back for a second.

[@SB-sg4em]

Yea it did, and it was pretty unfair too. Paxman says he likes to find out about things, inform people, and let them make their own decisions. Twitter can be used to do just that. You find out something, post a link to inform others, and then let them make their own decisions. Having 'followers' in this context is just like having 'viewers' of your show.

[@alexpinna]

my favourite interview ever!

[@AngelAlvarado-fc6ic]

s shat scene of Jon Snow singing is just brilliant. I admire him because he has been such a great journalist over the decades and the first time I saw him was in a reportage in my country, El Salvador, during the 1980s civil war.

This has to be the most delightful conversation I have ever seen on TV/KZbin.

[@tobyhounshamkeys]

Absolutely brilliant, and the wonderful CC Smugglers playing with Jon Snow at the end!

[@musicloverlondon6070]

I loved Jeremy's reaction to the Twitter topic, especially from 4.54; comedy gold! Great interview! I particularly like the idea of discovering and informing being paramount. So much journalism these days seems to focus on leading opinion which is so unhelpful because ordinary people are just not allowed the space to be independent and make up their own minds. Instead we are left having to analyse the various agendas of the writers before analysing the content itself, including whether it's accurate and complete.

[@ohwellwhateverr]

Time has proven Paxman to be correct. Snow and his fellow lefties are ideologues. Paxman is a real journalist.

[@leewilson9383]

Two titans of television journalism!!!

[@karl5698]

This interview really made me laugh, somewhere in this interview, the two are quietly amicable. It seems sweet, and somewhat homely. :]

[@LightingJedi]

Those two are absolute legends and I for one felt safe with them around to shred the shady politicians I mean who really is left to ask those difficult tough questions

[@ZER0--]

These two could do a weekly show together. It would get fantastic ratings. They could call it "The Odd Couple"

[@InhabitantOfOddworld]

If only Paxman had said "you know nothing, Jon Snow"...

[@michaeleverest7631]

I agree that a important aspect of work is having a laugh as sometimes needed to get through a day!!

[@j.johnson3520]

First time I've ever seen this. I watched the Jon Snow long interview/mini docu. recently and now having watched this I can see Jon is a giant of a journalist and Jeremy is a TV presenter - that's it. They're different beasts altogether. Their brains are wired up quite differently. Funny how Jeremy reacted to what was an extremely mild interview.

[@rajnirvan3336]

Jon Snows been longer in the broadcasting industry than Paxman. But great otherwise

[@jackspring7709]

Two presenters who perfected the art of making snide comments & shouting over people and dressing it up as tough journalism. They really are the two faces of modern journalism.

[@KissTheGreat]

I met Jon once, very nice chap

[@fragglet]

The chemistry between the two of them is amazing. The one thing I'd love to see is the two of them re-enacting Fry & Lauries' "man who thinks he's a psychiatrist sketch"... maybe some day, for a charity gig?

'This is an activity for people who've got nothing going on between their ears.' Truer word was never spoken. And he is true to himself. As of now: Paxman has 7 tweets, the first one being 'Had a bath this morning.' (2012)

I’ve met so to speak albeit very briefly and in passing both Paxman and Snow many years ago when they were guest speakers where I worked. Rather opposite to what I thought they’d be like but Paxman was incredibly polite, respectful and humble. Snow came across as very arrogant, haughty and rude, maybe he was having a bad day.

[@tedfaun2159]

i love jon snow and jeremy paxman. One of these broadcasters should just put both of them on the same news related talk show and have them discuss the topics of the day like they do here. Would be hugely insightful from the perspective of these two men who have seen it all in their respective careers. Put it on instead of that 'loose woman' nonsense at least. I mean a show that aims to get a handful of woman (all though the woman part isnt important) that have no insight into the the most important topics of the day and come from respective shoddy careers that happen to have been in the public eye at one point all because they reflect the 'average person'. If broadcasters think that's the intellectual calibre of the average person that I think we should all be bloody insulted by it.

[@sampatankar1977]

Watched this then, watching it again now..still absolute gold! This is 'The Trip' but the enforced meeting is a Beeb meeting room rather than a Rangie :D

[@humphreyaugustus2932]

The way people talk today is very dishonest and political correctness has made it worse, we openly lie to eachother, if we were to tell the truth we would offend people. That's why I like Paxman, who couldn't give a shit if it offends someone...
