I haven’t heard a better interviewer since Charlie Rose (who had a team working for him, of course).
Does anyone know of similar interviewers in this vein? Long form and exceptionally-prepared?
Really? Rose is a serial interrupter. Might as well have Gary Vee interview people if you think Charlie Rose is any good.
However, I'll defend Rose, in that he always picked interesting guests, and did good prep work. It's true that he steered the conversation in the direction he wanted it to go. But, of course, he had 60 minutes, and was recording for a broad television audience. The constraints were/are very different from Tyler's, personality differences notwithstanding.
If you listen to the interviews where he gets to break out of the normal 60 minute boundaries, I think you'll find his style shifts with the medium. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOUzTd-Ge_g
I've never heard of Gary Vee. However, based on a cursory search, I don't think a hyperbolic comparison helps your argument! :)
