Well, first off, it was in defense of something stupid. The Freedom From Religion organization had filed a lawsuit against a restaurant that offered a 10% discount on their bill if the person took time for a prayer. It was a small restaurant (that I think was in the middle of nowhere), so not only is that pretty trivial, it turns out you could get the discount for a whole host of different things, like just taking a moment of silence. No prayer was actually needed.
But he also came across as bumbling when he attempted, and completely failed, to justify the lawsuit. The interviewer, the new tall guy with the giant forehead, made him look like an idiot.
I did't immediately see the interview on youtube, but I'm sure you can find it to see for yourself.
