i think brian armstrung has absolutely walked the line here. This is art of the a reaction to perhaps the hysterical or extreme culture we've been in. I like when i ask a question that's very basic to a besty. Do you think it's cause i don't know the answer really? Or do you think i might be asking very basic question for the benefit of the guest, or the audience? All-in host: "I'll get a couple of laughs in, and then maybe ask basic questions on behalf of the audience"
