I\u2019m just happy to have them \u2026 What I care about is that the episode as a whole means something to the people watching it. Whether you\u2019re laughing or you are feeling seen by it or you\u2019re crying \u2026 What matters to me is I\u2019m putting out something worth watching.

I didn\u2019t go to school for journalism. There are real journalists out there asking real thoughtful, hard questions. What I am having with people is a conversation. I want to create a comfortable, friendly environment for my guests.
