I'm a huge fan, Alex Winter's documentary that was released recently is fantastic.

Jesus. The guys "interviewing" Zappa (and I use that term very loosely) are not there to interview. Their minds are completely made up, trying to constantly bait him.

EDIT: Ok, forgot this is crossfire and not really an interview. From Wikipedia: "The format was designed to present and challenge the opinions of a politically liberal pundit and a conservative pundit."

he was such an awesome guy to watch in interviews, always made his point and it usually did not end well for the other party if they thought they were going to score a point, although in most of these interviews he was just being the voice of reason. I remember reading that he also had a high genius IQ.

I've seen claims that his IQ was in the 170s - higher than Einstein or Hawking - but I suspect that was just a guess.

Yeah, watching the others in the interviews try bait him with strawman arguments is painful!

Probably everyone that watched the show...
Gary, I don't think Hawkings ever took the test, and strongly doubt it...but I know he said that " people who boast about their IQ are losers" during an interview👍

Yes, but there are plenty of qualified estimates of the IQs of various people with no IQ test on file. I wouldn't trust some arbitrary clickbait website, but there are qualified people who can approximate someone's IQ reasonably well.
