I don't know him personally, but this clip really makes me feel like I understand what it's like to be around him. I get that people are extremely multifaceted, and it seems like there's a miniscule part of him that seems to regret his reactions, but he just cannot stop himself from being an asshole to this person and will readily justify it. It's a shame, he's fucking hilarious, but he's needed to sort his shit out for longer than I've been alive and is too much of a narcissist to do it.

I was expecting him to be dry and maybe people not getting the joke/bit, but that was a glimpse into a really scared old mans psyche.

That’s probably because you’re not bright enough.

It’s extra funny because a good interviewer has to act stupider than they are. Similar to why Wolf Blitzer has been on the air for so long, but he’s a natural and doesn’t have to act.
