Behind the mic: Gayle King, Ziwe, and Mehdi Hasan on the art of the interview

  • Summary

  • Back in the day — with your Walter Cronkites and David Brinkleys — it felt kind of inappropriate for an interviewer to bring their full selves to the conversation. It was all about the guest, after all, so why bother bringing their own distinctive flairs?

    But now, people tune in as much for the interviewer as the one being interviewed. And because of that, the experience feels much more authentic!

    So today, you'll get to know three masters of the craft who each have their own distinct, but oh so compelling styles of asking tough, thought-provoking questions.
