I don't get why everyone's saying he's gay; to my knowledge he has never talked about this issue. To me he's neither heterosexual nor homosexual -- he's Andersexual until the day he publicly announces where his orientation lies.

Then again, who the fuck cares? He has explained why he won't talk about his personal life, we should respect him for that. It's become rare to find someone shying away from the spotlight offered to them these days.

Engaging interview, by the way!

I feel like I'm on their first date with them. 

Does Google just let whichever exec with the biggest crush (real or platonic) on the guest do the interview (e.g. Eric Schmidt --> Tina Fey, Marissa Mayer --> Lady Gaga, this guy --> Andie Cooper)? It's a little awkward because they're never very good interviewers, but I kind of like the energy.

[wesman422]

he talks about every aspect of his personal life other than his sexuality! that makes it an issue...

@MrIvesston I remember watching Oprah with guests, with her guests telling her their stories, and she'd jump in and start talking about HER story, HER experience.

It got really annoying after a while.

Anderson's show is still too young to judge, but I like the topics he's covered so far. He needs to work on relationship with the audience a bit, 'cause he comes as a bit rushed/awkward at times. However, he's talked of himself as a very shy person naturally, so far I think he's done well.

Who's WALLET is that?

[TheKerryzzz]

I wish that he would do segments on his show to do an autobiograpy on his mothers life. Interview her about her life growing up as a Vanderbilt. She is a National Treasure. We are fortunate that she is alive to tell about her life and adventures etc.

He seems like he would be a cool friend. Someone who could keep you from being bored.

[TheKerryzzz]

I like him. He"s hilarious
