About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want lively, intelligent interviews with a wide range of guests and a strong sense of its era; Not for you if you prefer fast, joke-heavy late night like The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.
Pros: smart, witty host; eclectic guest lineup; thoughtful conversations | Cons: dated references; uneven episode selection; slower, talk-heavy pace
