Top 3 Interviewers of all time

#3 Stephen Colbert and John Stewart

With their comedic satire and funny whit, these two have changed the way viewers take in and absorb the national events of the day. They have turned the tables, covering the way the media covers the news, especially politics. They are quick to point out hypocrisies, often taking them and running wild with their imaginations. As interviewers they know the right amount of humor needed to conduct and relax an interviewee. Nothing is as profound of an ice breaker as Stephen Colbert taking the applause for the guest running from set to set waving to the crowd. John Stewart knows how to get an interview back on track and end on a very good question or punchline. I like the way Stephen mocks the Republican side by standing up for their values in ridiculous ways to prove his point or to get a laugh.

#2 Howard Cosell

I'll have to admit what I know most comes from my dad and a few clips from YouTube. I know Howard Cosell most famously for rial-lining up Mohamed Ali. These two would go add it, play off one another, and give each other a hard time. Mr. Cosell would say something like, " for the past year he's virtually been incarcerated in this country, he's undergone all of this for the obvious reason that he didn't have the courage to fight such as Joe Frazier, Jere quality..." and before he could continue Ali would begin all over asking them why he would say something like that. it was all classic stuff when it came to these two. Howard Cosell knew how to get the best out of Ali, unfortunately for all the sometimes it took a little bit of poking and prodding for him to get irritated enough to get off a good sound bite.

#1 Howard Stern

By far the greatest interview of all time hands down is Howard Stern, the King of all media. He's an equal opportunity offender, he lets all sides have their moment to speak, he has very little shame when it comes to asking personal questions which makes them into one of the funniest men in the world. She might start off with an appropriate question but it breaks the ice so that better, more interesting questions that the guest might normally have a problem answering doesn't seem so bad now that he or she is relaxed and starting to enjoy the show. He and his staff do an amazing job of doing their homework, getting background information on the guests helps him paint a life story throughout the interview, which he sometimes uses as a guide. he has interviewed some major guests over the years which has helped him refine his skills. He has the willpower to be kind, sweet, and clean but he knows what his audience wants the old ruthless Howard that would never let anyone off the hook and be as vicious as possible.
