I don't know what he does, maybe because he serves his guests alcohol, but his show is continously raucous and hilarious.

His talk show is probably one of the only talk shows I would watch from the beginning and just binge it all.

I’ve never seen Meryl Streep in a interview but now I want to hang out with her.

Is that what Nicole Kidman sounds like? I guess I've never heard her natural voice before.

He reminded me of Joe Lycett, reading that e-mail.
