Barbara is awesome though. She has been such a big part of so many people's lives worldwide and is so well known, it will be a sad day when she finally does leave us.
I want to thank Jian for maintaining the quality that cbc has always been noted for. There was a moment where I wondered whether it would be maintained with the changing of the guards. So thank you. Quality is the moniker you wear so well.
I'd like to think that Jian is on the same class as Barbra Walters. Both very classy interviewers who don't resort to shock interviews and don't sell them selves.
also I don't care what anyone says, I love Barbra Walters voice
@garycalgary "Where are you from, Iran?" Totally out of line. Could he have asked her "Where are you from?" and expect ed an answer "Israel"? Not so classy.
@gabsylv Exactly. What a stupid, ignorant question. She's kind of a moron. I like to treat people the way I'd like to be treated, so if someone has an American accent, I assume they're American, obviously. I don't look at their skin color and ask them where they're from. It's just plain stupid. Gian is clealry Canadian. Why ask him where he's from? So stupid. Especially, implying that he's from Iran. I don't go around asking white people where they're from, expecting them to say Ireland, etc.

you are for sure one die hard fan who idolizes and doesn't know what's real . i and people had experienced and saw it our selves how snotty she is that old douched bag,not even a lady. i hope she does it to you loser.
How ironic. I watched this video because of how much I like Barbara Walters. She was walking by my grandmother in an airport around 2001. My grandmother was crying; she couldn't get on a flight for a funeral because the only ticket was really expensive and she couldn't afford it. Guess what BW did? She asked her what was wrong and then bought her the ticket and a coffee! At any rate, you come off as "snotty, "bitchy" and quite judgmental too. Before you know it you will be an "old douch bag"

continuation of that OLd DOUCH BAG... you got only some years to live, why do you have to act so bitchy? and the worst part is nobody knows her until you see her in person, what a dissappoinment. I understand they are personalities, but c'mon, don't think of yourseld af GOD. You also started your way up you old plastic face old hag!I Im very furious coz' I experienced her unfriendly,unapproachable presenced twice in the airport and same 1st class flight.

I have watched and admired her and thought she one of the best woman tv personality till I saw her in person..she ISN'T the barbara walters we all knew. She's a SNOb,unfriendly BITCH that thinks she's the best person in the world. i have traveled with her in the same plane,first class and mind you, nobody talks to her directly, everything even the flight attendant has to speak with her companion who i think is her 2nd hand.doesn't even look at anybody, as if everyone around her is beneath her.
I heard that Barbara had arranged with CBC for Jian to not make any reference to her news career and was only supposed to be interviewing Barbara Walters the author.
excellent interview

I think it's fitting that Jian interviewed Barbara. I think he's got similar "forthright" interviewing techniques like she does.
