Tracy Morgan’s character on NBC’s 30 Rock mistakenly refers to the Internet as “the Interweb” in last week’s episode. It’s an age-old joke when someone wants to act like they’ve never used the Internet, and if you know the character he plays, he probably hasn’t.
And that reminded me of a Larry King interview with Roseanne Barr I saw a few weeks ago. First of all, the fact that he’s interviewing Roseanne suggests he’s stuck somewhere in the early 1990’s. But during the interview he admits that he’s never used the Internet, asking if it is a viable political medium because “there’s 80 billion things on it.” When Barr suggested that it might be the only viable political medium left, King says that “I’ve never done it, never gone searching.”

I half expected him to say, “I guess I’ll have to look at that Interweb thing some day”. You have to see it to believe it.
