Lex is a good interviewer. I started watching his MIT AI class videos years ago. He had a good skill of inviting interesting people to the classes. He also seems very media savvy. I often don’t have time for complete interviews so I sometimes look out for his shorter clips on YouTube.

He is also one of the most boring interviewers on youtubes, he's great to listen if you have insomnia and want to fall asleep. To be fair Lex deserves some lenience because English isn't his native language, but I'm still surprised that his podcast got so popular that it has.

To me, he does a great job of letting the ideas of the guest be the main focus.

I don't want to hear him tell jokes or try to be a comedian.

He agrees with whatever the guest says, no matter how stupid whatever the guest said is. This makes the interviews unbearably boring to me. The interviewer should challenge the guest, so we can learn something from the interview.

Replying to my own comment:

I just listened to the Zuckerberg interview. It got so much better in the last third when both of them seemed more relaxed. Too bad they didn’t break through to something more like friendship earlier. I have never seen Zuckerberg look so relaxed as in the last 20 minutes.
