The best interviewers of YouTubesteemCreated with Sketch.

in #blog7 years ago


Not just anyone can be a good interviewer. It takes real skill and dedication to do it well. Today, I bring you my top 3 interviewers on YouTube. This list is in no particular order. I think you could make a convincing argument for each.


1. Sean Evans (Hot Ones)

Right out of the gate, I'm bringing the heat.

The premise of Hot Ones is simple. Eat 10 increasingly spicy wings while answering questions. What could easily come off as a stupid gimmick, works brilliantly for this show. The overpowering hot sauces drop the guest's guard which leads to a very entertaining interview. 


2. Graham Bensinger

Where my other two selections break the mold of traditional interviewer, Graham shines without any gimmicks.

He is well researched and polished but the greatest part about his show are his guests. He interviews everyone from doping cyclists to champions to cheaters. He has an amazing ability to get his guests to open up about some very difficult subjects.

Graham tends to specialize in sports figures, but he is easily the best at it on YouTube.



3. Nardwuar (The Human Serviette)

No list of great YouTube interviewers would be complete without Nardwaur. 

I know you are Canadians are already quietly mumbling to yourselves that Nardwuar is a radio and TV personality. Yes, you would technically be correct but I, like the rest of the world, fell in love with him on YouTube. So we're claiming him. Neener. Neener.

With that out of the way, Nardwuar has to be one of the strangest interviewers ever. He is such an odd ball but so well researched he can make even the most jaded rap star drop their guard and really be honest. It is an amazing talent.


Bonus: Check out how genuinely surprised the guests are at his questions and gifts.
