Agreed - he somehow gets the most amazing guests, but it's all un-interesting, softball questions that don't challenge the guest at all, delivered at a glacial pace.

Yes, it's designed that way imo. More of an exploration into a subject, letting the guest shine and transmit their thoughts.

Would you have preferred someone like Charlie Rose, constantly interrupting the guests. A 2 way dialogue might be more normal, but you lose a lot of signal. These aren't confrontational interviews, but more of an educational one hosted by a non-expert.

If people prefer a discussion of 2 experts, this is clearly not it.
