I irrationally dislike Hwil Hweaton. I hope someone on YouTube does an edit that cuts him out so I can watch it.

I've been completely ignorant of his work since TNG, but I think I'm with you. A mediocre interviewer at best. His questions were a rambling mess, and he seemed eager to interrupt their answers with his own incoherent interpretations or a new, different question.

I'd have liked much better had it been conversations with Claude.

Also, was it me or did his note cards look like a prop and he was really just looking between the table, guests and the teleprompter behind the guests the whole time?

This video was heavily edited. I'm sure he looked at his cards between questions, and they simply cut it out.
