Thanks for that, ecchi, and you're correct that I didn't know about anything besides his current show on BBC America.

What I like about that show is that it doesn't follow the usual American talk show paradigm of bringing out guests one-at-a-time and fawning over them. Bringing them all out at once and having them mix it up together works better for me.

And of course I like that he has audience members sit in the big red chair to tell their "most interesting" story. Well, mostly I like that if the host or any guest doesn't find it interesting enough, they can just tip the person's chair over backwards.

Many's the time I've been listening to someone's less than engaging tale and thought about doing the same.
