These programs are not interviews. They are two actors reading a script that is prepared in advance. I doubt that Georgie even heard that comment. He was simply waiting for the answer to end so he could read his next line. Hell, he may not even have been in the same room.

When was the last time you heard an intelligent follow-up question that actually probed and challenged something that was said? That almost never happened anymore when they are dealing with "friendly witnesses".
