[@machngunjoe]

It’s so great to see my two hero’s Hitchens and Rose (not so much anymore after his disgrace). I loved watching Charlie doing his best in wrangling Christopher’s intelligence

[@mikespearwood3914]

Can you elaborate on Rose's "disgrace"?

[@Vereid]

So I’m listening to this in the dark before bed…. And good grief Rose is annoying. Almost every time Hitch is making a point (at least with the starting segment), this twit interrupts and doesn’t let him finish by pretending as if he knows where he’s going and trying to finish his sentences (he rarely does). I hope he gets better in the latter interviews (I seem to remember he does with others, but that first one is dreadful). Anyway, great job putting this together.

[@jeffteahan2774]

Charlie Rose was truly an awful interviewer. The guy just wouldnt shut up

[@Capnnthebois]

So glad someone said it 😂

[@artartful854]

Charlie Rose was considered by many as the dumbest interviewer on TV. Hitchens is the only attraction here.

I'm 3 Minutes Into This Video, And Christopher Has Yet To Complete A Sentence Without Being Either Spoken Over By, Or Being Completely Interrupted By Rose. What An Insufferably Unprofessional Host(!!) 😖.

[@curtisunit]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more damning comment about someone than to say they have an obsessive need to be liked mixed with an unscrupulousness. Poetic description. I’ve also never seen Charlie Rose so disappointed in himself when his own point sputtered out and died on the coffee table. What was Charlie thinking? I wondered if he actually thought Christopher was going to rescue him from his implosion. Sadly, that was pure self castration and ego took him there.

[@newyardleysinclair9960]

27:57 man that was like a line from a movie.

[@TommyGlint]

Am I the only one who thinks Charlie Rose is a bit annoying? He interupts a lot, sometimes to ask a question, sometimes to clarify something. Nothing wrong with the intent, be he speaks over Hitchens and others.

[@jeffteahan2774]

YES! Constantly! If you liste carefully while Hitchens speaks, you can hear Charlie is constantly speaking at the same time.

[@Keithmata7]

its annoying cause its cold hearted nazi ideology Charlie is tryna push while tryna set traps lost souls in his audience. and forgive me if I'm wrong but Charlie might be doing this consciously or sub consciously. either way jts annoying for the same reason

[@GardenerGeorge]

@@jeffteahan2774Yes . I had forgotten what he was like . It keeps the conversation intense , but disjointed . I know he interviewed many great people in this era , and I watched many of them . But in hindsight he does not look as smart as he thinks he is .

Charlie Rose is arrogant, pompous, and talks too much.

[@iago9711]

I was about to write "if Charlie Rose was around today everyone would be complaining incessantly about his interrupting" but then read the top comments. Honestly, get over it, this is what an impassioned conversation sounds like and guarantee your private ones sound no different. I know the autistic internet goblins would love nothing more than for every show to have a talking pillow.

Charlie Rose is the antithesis of Joe Rogan. He ceaselessly interrupts guests who are far more interesting than he is. Rogan is a great listener and lets his guests develop their ideas.
