    Douglas Emhoff was delightful to listen to. Unpretentious and easy to like. And I especially appreciated that he spent most of the time directing his answers to the audience instead of soley to Stephen. He acknowledged the audience and included them in the conversation, instead of letting them watch a conversation between Stephen and him, which is what usually occurs in these guest interviews.
