Ah. Didn't actually see the show. Even still im sure its repetitive for him to do it again and be asked to do it.

Nobody ever wants to be there. It's more about Wossy saddling up to his guests and trying to be funny, which nine times out of ten results in some of the most cringe-worthy TV in the UK. He doesn't ask interesting questions and I'm not surprised his guests are miffed sometimes. Having said that, I don't particularly like Ben Stiller - he tends to be a bit of a grumpy git in every interview I see him in.

Yeah, he didnt look happy to be there, the sell out. lol
M&M on the other hand, im not a fan but I have to say he came across quiet well. I thought he would have been one for attitude on the show, but he seemed like an alright guy.

Eminem was quite good on it. Though he seems to have developed an annoying twitch in his right eye.
He's had that for a long while.
Caveat being IYHO...
Personally I really enjoy the show... (It's the only TV I watch on a Friday night)
Are "Guest" and "guest" two seperate variables? Surely they'd be one?
Also, you don't need two "End If"
Also, re Graham Norton, I actively turn it off if it comes on these days. it'd now just unfunny and he is dowright rude about people in his "joke's".
He also over-plays the gay card, the same with Jonathan Ross and his anti-gay "joke" at the expense of "4 Poofs and a piano", who I suppose, with a name like that, doesn't really help much
Thought Eminem came accross rather well.

To be honest the Beeb doesn't really have bad interviewers, but I suppose an outlandish loud one is needed as part of the spectrum.
Cue Ross, he's not actually that funny or witty, his questions are plain weird at times. The only reason that people watch him is for the guests and it was almost forgiveable to look the other way at just how bad Ross is.
The trouble is, after that daft stunt on Andrew Sachs', I've lost a lot of patience tbh...

For me, as an interviewer, he tends to do a nice mix of interesting, serious and light hearted questions.

Beeb should have never got rid of Parky
I thought he retired?
Got to disagree with that, his interviews are terrible. He doesn't get either third of what you said at all. I think the problem is that as you say it is a bit light hearted chit chat - and he doesn't quite know what to say to people. I mean, it's like he's been told to appeal to everybody, and he's oddly enough put quite a few off.
Somewhat harsh don't you think? Anyway, it's interesting that we don't really have a 'serious' interviewer these days?
Not before going to ITV for a few years first because BBC thought MOTD was more important than his show.
Lowest common denominator (kind of like American TV) - you must cater to the chavs who are uneducated and uncultured so you cannot possibly have a good, serious interview.
Well I'm not part of this bandwagon and thoroughly enjoy his show
Same here, I watch it every week and it entertains me. Which is why I watch it every week.
Same as Graham Norton, I love his show too!

I have changed my opinion on Vin diesel a very good and funny interview, love the helium.
this is leagal ? he he he
this is leagal ? he he he
That doesn't really make any sense now does it... There's plenty of room on TV for diversity. So I'm just not sure why at the moment there's no serious celebrity interviews going on (akin to old Parky).

I actually watch the show every week (if I'm at home), and I do enjoy it, but it makes me cringe more than anything else. I can sit through The Office/Curb/whatever, but Wossy's interview technique has me squirming in my seat and looking away. URGH!
