Fascinating. Somehow, I wouldn't have really expected it, but the sheer difference between someone like Eric Schmidt and someone like Tina Fey really made this interesting.

So I ask you: are there any other such Google talks/chats like this worth watching? I believe there was one from a while ago with Obama, but I haven't really heard of any others.

I think this interview does a good job of showing just how easy people like Letterman and O'Brien make interviewing look.

I like the mention of the improvisation concept of "yes and" as being a huge influence on her professionally. She describes how this can take good ideas from two people and create something newer and better.

Some of the best collaborators I have had were of the "yes and" attitude while the worst were of the "no but" or "no because" variety.

Indeed. Viewers beware of the cringe-factor.

There are over 1000 videos like this in various forms: http://www.youtube.com/atgoogletalks

A lot of them are authors, but there are a bunch of other celebrities, musicians, politicians, and a ton of others. I'd recommend clicking on "Uploads" and then select "Top Rated."
