Preferably Andrew Stanton appearing on The Late Show with Conan O’Brien - they would be so funny together! But Andrew Stanton doesn’t have anything to promote at the moment. I know John Lasseter did The View a while back, but have any Pixarians done any late-night talk shows?
I think Brad would be the best candidate for Conan honestly, but Andrew would be great. Pete would be a bit awkward, as well as John, Lee might be good. Still, Conan is better with interviews than say Jay Leno or Craig Ferguson. (but I like them both. Conan just asks better questions).
I’d love to see that happen, most definitely.
I think Lee should go on Conan, but the general audience might not know who he is at the moment… but they will next year when Toy Story 3 is released. 
How great would it be for 60 Minutes to visit the studio and film a segment on Pixar? They could report from the angle of how the studio grew to what it is today, as well as promote what Pixar has coming up in the future.
That’s why I don’t understand why animated films don’t receive as big a hype as live-action ones. They invite celebrity guests from the most inane films and ignore bigger, better-quality animated ones. Why don’t they invite animated directors like Chris Wedge, Chris Sanders or John Lasseter to talk about their films? Or high-profile animators like Carmen or Romano. The most I think is they invite the voice actors (mostly from Dreamworks) and they talk about their characters. But I guess that’s what audiences will identify most, the big names who lend their voices rather than the creators behind the scenes. I think they invited Chris Rock and Ben Stiller for Madagascar 2 on Rove last year. And Jack Black the year before.
But yeah, my dream would be to watch any of the Pixar directors being grilled by the voice of the crab from Finding Nemo. I can’t imagine what he will ask them for ‘5 Questions’ and the visual question! 
Or any other talk show, for that matter. I don’t think Pixar does the ‘promotional tour’ route, though. They just release posters and trailers online for hungry fans like us and save the dough they would’ve spent booking a spot on Leno, Letterman or Larry. Smart move.
Talk shows don’t care about much but drawing an audience, hence the big stars. The only director at Pixar worth interviewing on these kinds of shows would be Brad Bird (and possibly John Lasseter). Personally, I’d love to see Pete Docter be on one of these shows. His interview on Fresh Air with Terry Gross was one of the best interviews I’ve ever heard with an animation person. Stanton gives terrible interviews–no offence, but it’s all about how he comes across on the radio/internet, which is arrogant and condescending.
That would be pretty epic but I gotta say you dont often see directors/producers of movies on late night talk shows unless they’re big names. Now that’s not always true but usually it is. Late night shows go for the actors, cuz that’s what draws the crowd. Probably because the actor is who the audience sees (or in this case, hears) in said movie.
When I read the part of your post I put in bold, it reminded me of something. Now arrogant and condescending never crossed my mind during Andrews interviews, I did notice from watching behind the scenes and interviews on Pixars movies, he seems different back in the early days of Pixar, then the way he seems now. Back in the early days he seemed more happy and goofy. Now he seems a more…I can’t think of a word. But he just doesn’t seem as happy as he use to be.
And speaking of that. I was watching A Bug’s Life roundtable discussion and John was saying how they use to have so much fun back them. And it got me wondering. I know they love making films. But I wonder is the pressures of delivering a new movie every year and having it live up to the Pixar name has kind of sucked the fun out of the atmosphere at Pixar.
I honestly doubt that, especially after listening to the Up commentary between Pete Docter and Bob Peterson. It honestly feels like 2 warm friends talking about making their movie, and how much fun they had on the way, the feel to the whole thing is just really great. I’m sure there’s rough spots, and it might not apply for everyone up there, but I still think they know how to have fun, and it injects that atmosphere into these movies. I don’t think Pixar would be as successful and ground-breaking as they are without that carefree spirit and sense of whimsy in their day to day lives. In many ways, I find that to be what fuels their success.
They’re not glossy or pretty enough for TV interviews in general. I mean Lasseter’s a busy guy, so I can understand why he’s not wasting his time with talk show hosts. They do get a lot of press, but it’s the stars of the movies voice work that get the attention, and they work their magic through them.
In my opinion, they play it just right: They don’t get sucked up in the media machine, and stick to the creative side of things. They make useful and interesting announcements and interviews on occasion, that don’t fall into pandering mode.
