Kimmel & Noah are the most curious, engaged, organic with their guests IMHO. stuffmatters Oct 2018 #4

I love Colbert but he seemed really on edge or something with Pelosi. Her defining "San Francisco Liberal" with the beloved Prayer of St Francis warmed my heart.

To be fair to Colbert, I guess we're all pretty jumpy right now.

He must have felt that he had to get this one right. I have no doubt he takes this election personally - above and beyond the great material the offensive Republicans provide.

it’s all about him.....and I think he’s gotten worse. He does interrupt way to much and he always has to get in something about himself in EVERY conversation. JMHO.

I enjoyed his interviews in the beginning, he really listened to people and interacted with them. It felt like an actual conversation. Lately it does seem like he's interrupting or making it about himself more than he used to.

Have to say, much as I love Seth Myers, he has the worst, most contrived interview technique.
