I love how genuinely excited Josh is during the interviews that he's done this week. He's so invested he can't help but lean forward. The story about his grandma was sweet.

Interview doesn’t even feel like an interview. Feels like a private conversation between the two and we’re all just flies on the wall. Standup, writing, hosting, interviewing skills? We’re watching him hit another level. 💪🏾💪🏾💰💰💰

Josh is really showing a level of maturity and comfort in the host chair that is significantly above what anyone would expect from a first timer. Love all the deep passionate questions and putting a fresh take on the endings and all of it. Keep it up!

Josh is SUCH an amazing interviewer- he makes what could have been a generic promo interview into a really charming conversation

Josh as host is phenomenal. So natural, engaged, well-prepared and warm. No scoring points for himself. Nothing disingenuous. 💖💖💖 The novel send-offs for each guest are phenomenal.

Been keeping up with Josh for years. Him on this show was the best news I didn’t know I needed. So happy for him.

Josh Johnson feels like my best friend, I don't know why. He just... radiates comfort with how he holds himself.
