Her question is always saying something and then saying talk about that" That's not a question. That is not good interviewing. Most of the time she also includes a lengthy anecdote about herself.
A funny and smart show from a reporter who’s seen it all and DGAF what people think any more
Corporate owned, substandard Boomer Slop... Swisher is also terrible.
Down to 3 stars. Content great; editing or production quality: Big Fail. Repeating loops; jumping into a place in the conversation where there’s no context of what came before. Please tech folks: double check your work. (old review: Top of Her Game —Kara the tough but compassionate questioner. I’m in!
Swisher is a great interviewer but it seems that every single episode she has to remind us how successful and/or wealthy she is. People with more success and wealth do not behave this way. It lacks class and does nothing to improve the quality of the discussion. Please just stop. You may be trying to impress us but you are embarrassing yourself.
