This interview gave me hope and a feeling of kindness I didn't know I needed. Two men talking emotionally and candidly about life and how hard it can be but with a lens of hope and joy for life. In times when media is often cynical and depressing, interviews like this make me remember the humanity that gets lost otherwise. Thank you Josh and Rob, this is going to stick with me for a long time and I'm personally so grateful.
Two funny people not looking for the next punchline, just having a genuine conversation. We need more of that.
Riggle and John Oliver were office mates at the Daly Show. Oliver has always claimed Riggle is one of the funniest persons he has ever worked with.
Humble enough to declare a thumb war knowing he will lose 😂😂😂 thank you Josh Johnson
'guy who argues with his drill instructor' is kinda a brilliant character itself.
So much respect for Rob and the details that Josh elicited. Josh is amazing at anchoring AND interviewing. He's thoughtful and relatable to the guest and audience, puts everyone at ease, creates space to showcase amazing guests, yet lends humor and a light-hearted angle to serious topics. I want to see more of both of them!
Rob was always my favorite corespondent growing up watching The Daily Show. His 0-100 energy and unpredictable personality never ceased to be funny!
Happy birthday Josh!!! So proud of you bro. Keep soaring, we love you 💕.
Josh is such a natural talent. Rob has always delivered consistent laughs. Thanks for the sincere interview guys!
Can we please protect Josh Johnson?! We need him in the future.
