He’s popular because of the monochrome suit, etc…

I don’t listen to a three hour interview to listen to the interviewer! I want to hear what the guest has to say.

Until now, this format basically didn’t exist. The host was the star, the guest was just a prop to be wheeled out for a ten second soundbite.

Nowhere else in the world do you get to hear thought leaders talk unscripted for hours about the things that excite them the most.

Lex enables that.

He’s like David Attenborough, who’s also worn the exact same khakis and blue shirt for decades. He’s not the star either: the wildlife is.

You can have a low profile and still be a good interviewer and ask good questions. Lex lacks the latter two points, leaving just a terrible show.
