Cook is really witty and funny. He starts the interview by playing a trick on Caldwell. Pretty amazing considering that he's probably exhausted from days of interviews. And he stays incredibly eloquent throughout.
For those who dob't get the joke: Cook was supposed to say, "Only on Idol Tonight" (that's the name of the show). Instead, he said "From Justin to Kelly." That was funny for two reasons. First, Justin Guarini is the show's co-host (he's the white guy with the afro). Secondly, "From Justin to Kelly" was one of the biggest film flops of that year, and a major embarrassment for Justin, Kelly Clarkson and American Idol. It proved that the Idol name didn't guarantee success.

For those who don't know, dry wit or humor told in such a way that
it's not always obvious. The weird thing about Archie is that his wit and humor aren't even obvious to him because it's unintentional. It's not laugh-out-loud-HAHA humor but rather something that requires a bit of thought to get. Try searching for videos of comedian Steven Wright.
David Cook is really funny and witty. Listen to his first impression of Syeesha as a mute. And then his interaction with Archuleta. Cook is right on. Poor Archuleta seems completely oblivious as to how lovably goofy he is. His confused face at the end is priceless. You can hear the crew giggling.
Syeesha calls Cook, "fancy." In some circles...

David Archuleta is almost the opposite of Cook in their speaking abilities. Whereas Cook is always smooth, witty and eloquent, Archuleta struggles to express himself. Cook is a pleasure to listen to, but I often wonder what he's REALLY thinking. Is he just trying to sweet-talk the audience? I have no such issues with Archie. He's like a little kid, innocently saying things without realizing their full meaning. But he's never mean. I've never heard any 17 y/o say "gosh" so much! And in another YouTube video, you can hear him cursing grape skins with "dang." He can't even say "damn." Adorable.
You can see the entire interview in another video.
I worry about his maturity. He's too i...

These guys seem genuinely nice and respectful of each other.
Check out the TV Guide poll and you'd see Archuleta leading by a lot in the beginning, with Cook skyrocketing up. Syeesha was always very low.

Make sure to also watch the video titled, "Am Idol: What the David's think of each other (VERY FUNNY)." It shows the chemistry between the two.

Despite Caldwell and Guarini's praise, Byrd didn't seem too thrilled by Cook's song choice. She impresses me with her honesty. Since Cook has won, she could have easily taken credit for helping Cook with the song. Instead, she still seems lukewarm about it.
I'[m impressed that Cook took such a risk by choosing a "female" song -- and did it so well. What a sensitive guy!...

Jason gives a classic answer! And poor David A probably got yelled at by his abusive stage dad (who has been banned from the backstages of Star Search and American Idol).
People think Jason is an idiot but he's actually very intelligent. He was attending college on a full scholarship for an architectural-related degree. He also had over 1300 on the SAT (that's high if the essay section isn't included but very low if it was included). Plus, he played on the soccer team....

Poor Archuleta looked like the shy kid in class and didn't participate until King called him out. Kristy was also not very enthused. Jason got into it, and raised his arm at the end as if in church....

Michael Johns was the surprising winner in many of the categories. It surprised me that he was the Class Clown, especially since he's the oldest. I would have expected Cook, or even Castro, to win that title.
re: Michael being the Class Flirt ... in another part of the interview, he even talked about David Hernandez's great body.
Re: Michael being a troublemaker ... in Part 2 of this interview, he made a sex joke that was so risque that Cook had to tell him to be careful
Johns was not in the studio but was linked by camera from Las Vegas for most of the interview.
I love the way Cook replied, "Indubitably" when he was named Class Brain at 0:30. Damn, he's witty. For those who don't k...

David Cook Visits Luke Menard in the Hospital
May 28, 2008
Preparing for the American Idol finale means long hours and hard work. But days before David Cook was declared the season seven winner, he dropped everything to visit with fellow top 24 contestant Luke Menard in a Los Angeles hospital.
Menard, 29, was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
"I love Luke and I just wanted to show up and make sure that he understood that I love him and know that if there's anything I can do for him and his wife, sign me up, you know?" Cook tells PEOPLE. "Lu...
