He's done a great job of marketing himself as a non judgemental platform for celebs. He's a super positive guy and basically lets his interviewees guide the conversation, and let's the viewer make up their own mind.
I actually like his interviews, because he typically speaks less than his interviewees and doesn't guide the viewer to a certain opinion. Even his interview with Kanye West was like this - it was pretty insightful into Kanye's state of mind and didn't need any commentary.
Lol! I guess I'm biased coming from a slightly-more-engineer perspective than Lex, but my opinion is opposite yours.
I find he drones on way too much, and way too many first-person pronouns. "I-me-me-me-I-I-I" - it's pretty narcissistic when the guest is politely sitting there across.
Surprised you also brought up the Kanye interview, that's a great example of Lex getting reprimanded by the guest. Lex couldn't let go at a particular moment and kept injecting his opinion that Kanye had to slap down.
