One of the greatest compliments to give am interviewer is "I loved your questions!" They were not formulaic - engaged and Present. The interviewer also seemed very organic in allowing the guest, Jenifer to finish full thoughts. Loved it...

She is such an inspiration! This is an exceptional interview here. I enjoy being a part of the UT audience. Thanks. Best wishes to all. ❤❤❤ 6t of the hoot!

I absolutely admire Jenifer Lewis. I can relate to her story on so many levels. I am so impressed with how she took her trauma and triumph. I was molested by my male babysitter and eventually diagnosed as bi-polar 2. I took refused to give up my edge by being medicated. At one point, I was given lithium and became a detached, emotion less and miserable person. I prayed and asked God not to leave me in this mental state. I wasn't sure if the effects of the lithium would wear off, but thankfully it did after several months.

I wish this interview lasted longer. I cannot stand it when this interviewer keeps interrupting during the most important parts of Jenifer's life! If she cannot take it, she shouldn't be interviewing anyone. She treats her like she isn't a celebrity, she shows zero reaction, she's cold. Ugh!
