Do you prefer this set up to your own set up?
Is this strange for you on your set up?

I've been on your show and you're right there literally this close.
You think so?

I like to get reaction Shows a different kind of show.
We get very serious on Larry King Live Very musician.
There's not a lot of newsmakers Condoleeza Rices.
And on a girl's bike on your show.
No, I wouldn't have been great if she came in on a bike.
Well, get her to do it all you have to do is ask yesterday if she came in on a bike.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, into the hearings.
If she wrote in the bike, Probably not a good message to the American people.
I'm seriously trying to run the country ring ring.
Anyway, it's a thought.
I want to talk to you because you have been interviewing people for over 45 years.
I've been doing it here on this show for almost 11.
But clearly you're the master.
What's the key?
Thio Doing a good interview.
The master of honored.
I'm just saying that cause you're here now.
But no que, when you're gonna be like, what's with that guy?
Came crazy to me.
No.
Uh, yeah.
What is the key of?
Just made a mistake.
No, please, Please tell me what am I doing wrong?
Tell me.
Help me.
The key yes, is listening.
The good interviewers just say that one more time.
Theo.
Good interviewer must listen to many interviewers interview themselves.
The key toe Good interviewing style is short questions.
Leave yourself out of it.
I has no place in an interview.
There's no play.
It's irrelevant.
The guest counts, so I'll give an example of a bit.
Can I jump in just for a second?
E Like what?
You said I like the example.
I like what you said, but I just don't know if it works for me.
That's all I'm saying.
It may not have to work for you, but it's my two.
It's gonna work for me E with e o.
What you do is you take it.
Yeah, and apply it to you So you would go on and say I'm a bad interviewer, but this is me and I'm going to do it my way.
You set the tone for your audio because I have a hard time.
I do listen to other people.
But I always end up talking about myself at length on this show and ultimately making it all about me.
You're saying that's probably a mistake?
Well, it might keep it might keep you on late.
Yeah.
Really?
No.
You 10.
You know, 10.
I think the other key to a good interview is Keep it short.
Thank you for being here.
E understand what?
You do it That way you will tend to draw aficionados of U.
S.
And therefore you will be more.
You're saying weirdos, nerds and freaks.
Is that what you're saying?
Possible?
Possible?
You will be more important than your guest.
And if you are more important than your guest, there's a place for that too.
I'm not knocking it.
It's two years own.
Okay.
To each his own.
No, no, no.
You gotta get your own style.
Got my stuff?
11 years.
You're saying a lot when you do.
11 years?
Yes.
You one example of a bad interview?
Yeah.
Okay.

I've been in Boston and up into the islands up there, Officer.
Cape Cod.
You write about Cape Cod?
It's one of my favorite places.
Cape Cod.
I love it, Kip.
I've had a lot of adventures on Cape New Girl there once Sadie Emmerson owned the bar.
You know, stadium.
Actually, Dio.
Yeah, but you know what you did there?
That was bad.
It was effective for you.
For me?
Yes.
It was demonstrative.
Yes, right.
And the whole prospect.
Crazy prospector.
Dancing in the background was good for me.
Right, But ultimately not helping you.
Your guest is giving an example off a bad interview and then setting that example you set off the course.
So I was making you the interview.
And what you did was smart.
Oh, yeah, because I was interviewing my eye.
I'm with a child with in any way e with.
