Insightful, interesting and the interviewers are knowledgeable. You can really tell they have a passion for their subject matter. Recommend for all fans of comedy. The way they deliver their questions with such enthusiasm and wit is truly impressive. I found myself laughing out loud multiple times throughout the show.
