I'm not sure what to make of this

Fredrik Skavlan is a popular talk show host, but I have never had much patience with his concept. First of all, I think he is totally without any moral code, the worst example was an episode where one of the themes were middle aged women hunting down young men and having sex with them. He found that very interesting, of course.

Secondly, there is something tiresome in always having to listen to hip, in-the-media people discussing their lives through the often moronic questions Skavlan poses.

In his defense, he is a bit naive, so sometimes he asks insulting questions, and then in some strange way they accept it, and the conversation goes on. In a pub he might have had a beer poured over himself or something even worse.
