Billy Crystal Joins Twitter on J.D. Salinger's Recommendation... Wait, What?

Billy Crystal made a guest appearance on The Daily Show this week to chat about his upcoming short film with Funny or Die and to announce that he’d joined the Twitterverse. The award-winning comedian, actor, and Oscar host told John Stewart that he was nervous because he didn’t know what to write for his first tweet, and that he felt a lot of pressure over his first words on the social information platform.

It was part publicity stunt, and partly just for laughs.
