Pete Buttigieg proved to be a better talk show interviewer than Jimmy Fallon

"Unsurprisingly, Buttigieg is an attentive interviewer — showing himself in one night to be a better listener and banter-maker, I’d wager, than NBC’s Jimmy Fallon has ever been," says Hank Stuever. "Of course, the show picked a dream guest for Buttigieg, the lifelong nerd: Sir Patrick Stewart....Buttigieg’s ease with the rhythm of a talk show was even more apparent during a short, cheerful interview with Tony Hale, the Emmy-winning actor who played Gary, the pathetic presidential bag man, on HBO’s Veep. Buttigieg, who worked with such an aide on the trail (a female Gary), gave some insight into what it’s like to be the person who needs a bag man. That conversation would have been even more interesting if it could have been longer."
