@@_marzipan_ Someone compared him to a stand up and that's not an unfair comparison. He and Martin Short have a similar style only I think Martin comes out and takes over the stage and it becomes a kind of roast. Nathan sets up more of a back and forth with the host though it is very much pre-planned as most interviews tend to be. Doesn't take anything away from the skill it takes to make it seem like it's all in the normal flow of conversation and have it all land the way you want it to. Nathan is one of the best.

@uosdwiSrdewoH 8 ай бұрын

@@cwg73160 I was going to say the same. A talk show host has to be able to make it seem like everything is free flowing, know when to stay out of the way of the guest while at the same time making ad breaks seem as unobtrusive as possible then potentially pick things up after if the guest is staying for a second segment. Nathan just wants to tell stories and entertain. The host is more of a set up for the guest. It seems like a job with a lot of spinning plates that not everyone is capable of doing.
