I wish Howard wasn't trying to be so recognized and respected now because it's obvious he believes the sycophants around him about his interviewing prowess, and apparently he feels it's his path to legitimacy.

The rest is his god-awful pop-psychology b.s. where he tries to badger his own narrative to someone's story even if they have no inclination to his premise; 'you must have felt angry/hurt/betrayed with your (fill in the blank parent/situation) which lead to your (fill in the blank talent/action)'. Even when people eschew his direction, he keeps pushing til 9/10 the person just 'yeah yeah yeahs' to get through it. Will must be overloaded with research as of late because Howard's also gotten a ton of shit wrong about peoples careers and story. He tries to straddle the fence and please his old fans by latching onto some boring, but maybe lascivious detail, to which he'll call back a million times as if that's the edgy thing to do (crosby's sperm anyone?).

He needs people around him that will help him improve, but at this point in his career and with the money he's being payed to barely show up, his motivation probably nil, especially when everyone around him seems to tell him he does everything right.

>/rant over ;)
actully howard is very good interviewer. you are probably just too
stupid to realize that. please dont take offense to me caling you
stoooopid.
howard left a telling clue last week why his show changed. they were
talking about breast cancer month and when howard had hot chicks in
the studio to check them. on st. patricks day he would do the
painting of the breast.
howard said to robin do you know why i dont to that anymore? robin
said why. howard retotrted that he wants to stay married. so now,
beth has him pussy whipped. forget about how he used to be and get
used to the new interviewing howard.
