I would say it's a strength of his that the guests just get to say what they have to say. He always prepares a couple of questions in case the conversation stalls, but other than that, he let's the guest talk about their ideas, instead of sticking to a specific story he wants to cover.

I concur with this. While Lex, IMHO, has FAR less personality than, for example, Joe Rogan, I’m not watching because of Lex; I’m watching because of the guest. I’m very happy to have the guest take over and, for the most part, lecture their thoughts and opinions. Lex allows this to happen.

A lot of people underestimate how much effort it takes to keep a relatively smooth flowing conversation for a matter of hours. Ultimately if the words are flowing the host is doing a good job.

In many cases for some of the more controversial guests Lex adds some disclaimers at the beginning, but it's not the host's job to argue every single statement.
