  • The Robot Chicken Crew Stopped By Google For A Chat

    Robot Chicken has consistently remained one of the best shows on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. The team behind the show are some of the funniest people in the business, and the folks at Google were lucky enough to pick their brains for 30 minutes.

    Watch this entertaining panel discussion with the “Robot Chicken” show leads — Seth Green, Matthew Senreich, Tom Root and Zeb Wells — at Google’s LA office on April 17, 2013.

    Among the wide range of topics they cover: the genesis of the Robot Chicken Star Wars episodes (and what George Lucas is like in person), whether we’ll ever see Apocalypse ponies on the market, what sketch ideas have gone “too far” and why, and how Seth Green in “Entourage” and Seth Green in real life are not the same person.

  • Nate Silver, Master Prognosticator, Talks to Google’s Chief Economist

    Nate Silver became a household name this past election season, as his election predictions wound up being the subject of some partisan bickering. Whether you loved him or hated him in the final months of the campaign, he was vindicated on election day when he nearly perfectly called every race – 31 out of 33 state Senate races, as well as all 50 states in the Presidential race. Working out of his statistics blog FiveThirtyEight.com, Silver has become one of the most (if not the most) accurate prognosticator in modern polling.

    He recently sat down with Google’s Chief Economist Hal Varian to discuss his bestselling book “The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail-but Some Don’t” (among other things).

    The interview, part of Google’s popular Authors at Google series, is available in its entirety below:
