Sunday appearance on CNN

Posted in Announcements on Jun 08, 2008

Today, I’ll be on CNN’s new program, Fareed Zakaria GPS (which stands for “Global Public Square”). Hosted by the editor of Newsweek International, it’s a world affairs chat show that airs in America — and well beyond.

This week, the show will start with FZ interviewing Salman Rushdie (who, by the way, tracked me down in the make-up room and blurted, “What happened to your purple hair?” I told Salman that I never went purple, despite NYU’s official colors. He then issued a fatwa on my pitch-black spikes and encouraged me to rediscover radicalism. Spoken like a good infidel.)

After Rushdie comes my panel. I’m joined by CNN’s senior international correspondent Christiane Amanpour, Mexico’s former foreign minster Jorge Castaneda and Israel’s Natan Sharansky.

Closing the show will be FZ’s one-on-one with Henry Kissinger who, frankly, could use a few purple streaks.

The program airs in America at 1 pm Eastern and on CNN International at various times throughout the day. In Asia, you’ll see it in prime time. Confirm through your local TV listings.

To view other recent CNN appearances, choose from my interview about Benazir Bhutto, my discussion about sex, greed and US politics, or my debate with a Catholic activist.
