*If you ever have wondered why some of the most talented people never get their chance to shine, it might be because that person refused to compromise themselves on the way to the spotlight.
That Katt Williams interview on Shannon Sharpe’s Shay Shay podcast is being called one of the best, because it (seemed to be) unedited, authentic, and answered a lot of questions about what goes on in the entertainment industry behind the curtain.
However, Sharpe is being criticized by some for not asking follow-up questions. One viewer tweeted (then deleted):
“Shannon Sharpe’s poor interview skills make me feel like he is just not an active listener at all because he left soooooo much on the table with Katt. Interviewing (like journalism) is a skill and it sucks how we’ve minimized its importance over time.”
Sharpe’s response: “I never said I was a journalist. Follow up question with what?” he told former NFL star Chad Johnson during their “Nightcap” podcast.
The ex-NFler said claimed Katt William’s appearance was simply a “conversation” between friends.
“If you listened in my intro, I said… the person that’s coming by for conversation and a drink. I’m a conversationalist.”
So yes, that Katt Williams interview is long (almost 3 hours), but it’s worth the time spent with it. Click the video above to get my abbreviated take on it.
