Wiretap: Surprise! Stephin Merritt Is Not A Morning Person

Someone didn't do their research when they decided to book the notoriously prickly Stephin Merritt on a morning show. Enjoy the ebullient (and slightly queeny) host try to coax a sound bite or two out of Mr. Merritt before he performs "Smile! No One Cares How You Feel" from The Tragic Treasury, a companion CD to Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. That attitude would so not fly on The Today Show.
