It probably feels incredible to hear Christopher Hitchens say "that's a very good question."

[@olgakolarik9081]

What a fascinating man Christopher Hitchens was! He was just real and sincere and thoughtful, enlightened, so articulate, frank and bold but not confrontational or angry... i noticed in all his debates his oponents admired him despite their opposing views.

[@moniquedelaney7958]

What an interview ! From both parties

[@no-oneman.4140]

The world would be a much better place if people paid attention to what Christopher wrote rather than the 'other' books. A man whose vast intellect was matched well by his courage. Much missed.

[@stellaboulton9531]

A beautiful summing up, Mr. Rose.

[@michaelseandemalignonii]

Charlie rose interrupting to ask rhetorical questions that were already answered by what hitchens just said. Solid guy.

[@andrewmorton3344]

The genius orator has his raison d'etre as a writer!

[@thomasblethyn9639]

33:19 I feel like Hitchen's possibly saw a side of Rose he hadn't here; we know that he is accused of chauvinism - I wonder if he's noticing this about the interviewer.

[@michaelpatterson5811]

Almost half the comments here, at the time of writing, focus on criticising Charlie Rose for 'interrupting' Hitch. I think that we should bear two things in mind. First - Charlie was a professional TV journalist and talk-show host. He is well educated (BA and JD from Duke University)' His show ran for 26 years, with globally-rated guests (including Barak Obama no less than 11 times). His succesful skill was founded on intelligent responses, and driving the conversation. I don't think that Hitch had any problem with these tactics - they were fodder for him. Christopher was also noted for totally ignoring a further question if he had not finished thinking through his answer to the previous one - you will see several examples of this in this unusually personal and very poignant video - he died the following year. . . . . . . . proof indeed, that none of the gods care a toss about humanity.

Oh, did you expect Hitchens would live forever?

[@michaelpenyard7129]

@@sandrachisholm2310 No-one would want to live for ever, Sandra - that's just one of the daftest of religious concepts. "Eternal life" is the ultimate threat, not a benefit. 😉

It's so sad to see him age and lose hair with every interview. R.I.P. Christopher Hitchens.

[@wes8888]

Thankful for the interview, but the interviewer could've shut up most of the time. The frequency of interruptions was at an almost insulting level.... The world misses❤ #christopherhitchens.

[@tehdii]

Could someone tell me what book Hitch is talking about in 46:49?

[@lucianopavarotti2843]

Saul Bellow's Collected Letters

[@SleepyPenguin-8og]

Relatable.

[@AM-db6gc]

Charlie Rose - gormless and sockless

[@ChrisCoombes]

33:33 I think CH is stunned for a second here because CR hasn’t recognised the seriousness of the Clinton allegations. If true it makes more sense what happened to CR’s career.

[@SleepyPenguin-8og]

When u have money u can speak freely and express yourself however u wish. Theyll also memorialize you adquately. Keep everyone except for my mom dad brother and his son the hell away from my dead body. Their the only ones that recognize my existence anyways.

[@Aijan100]

What an extraordinary man he was. I wish to know his opinion about today’s state of things and if he would still call himself a leftist.

[@migbham1]

Cringing at Charlie Rose referring to him as "Chris Hitchens."

[@harmarka5462]

As we now know, you can’t trust a man who wears patent leather loafers and no socks.

[@jesseperkins7601]

Do you.realize the caliber of lawyer Christopher could have made? I shudder to think. RIP Sir.

[@SleepyPenguin-8og]

Laws. Lawyers. Its 2024. Anarchy.

[@margaretcallan1065]

At the chance of an interview that was so important Charlie Rose tried to steal the limelight. His interruptions are apalling. Hitchens patience is remarkable

[@ATT-02]

Charlie Rose! Scumbag and degenerate interviewer!! I hate this guy!

[@heathroscoe7519]

Why did He have such respect for the interview at the 11th hour, I assume it was selfish.

[@heathroscoe7519]

Yeah nah

[@pamelabarnett3013]

Charlie Rose was a horrific interviewer. He keeps talking over one of the most brilliant men who ever was.

[@charp7278]

I smoke too much .

[@SleepyPenguin-8og]

Theyd have made hitch a felon before he left elementary school here.

[@SleepyPenguin-8og]

Iq was to high. They couldnt let him live any longer. Wouldve made the rest of the world brighter too. Cant have that.

[@skate103]

He could spell too!😂

[@SgtAndrewM]

Damn his comments regarding Iraq and Afghanistan aged like milk.

[@gearoftones8585]

Sorry, but you were absolutely wrong on Iraq and anyone who argues otherwise is delusional

[@mypuritanicalopinion3332]

So the preeminent modern atheist was also a homosexual: Psalm 14 and Romans 1.

[@SleepyPenguin-8og]

With children. Lol. Sounds correct.

[@SleepyPenguin-8og]

If thats the best u can do, thats the best u can do. -christopher hitchens.

[@SleepyPenguin-8og]

As were most of the roman soldiers who murdered your savior, allegedly.

[@CelestialTeapotSpotter]

You're thinking of Stephen Fry. A man much more intelligent than you could hope to be.

[@Samn3212]

Charlie Ross proving, yet again, he has absolutely no ability to shut up whilst someone else is speaking.

[@stellaboulton9531]

How petty.
