I thought EC did a fantastic job. Great sense of humor and timing. I think he
really did dig doing it. Everyone's dream to host a show. I disagree about his
interviewing skills. He was good at it, better than Leno or Conan. His live
performance was incredible, as were his well placed comments at the end of the
show.
