    Celebrities interviewing celebrities is a promising concept, in that it upsets the power balance of the typical suck-up interview. But the downside is that once people get past a certain level of fame, they seem to lose the internal monitor that reminds them that not everything they do and say is worth recording.

    [The first episode] is less an in-depth interview than a mutual admiration fest, plus a chance to watch two famous people playing golf.

    If only more time had been spent finding compatible pairs instead of piling adjectives into the show's cheesy publicity language. If only some time had been spent finding actual iconoclasts.

Its based on the egalitarian theory that two creative people can somehow be instantly bonded by their work. It almost wants to pander to the politically correct idea of everyone getting along and relating. What I can say is that it is a horrible show. It trys to mesh to different people and two different talents into one feeling that doesn't really exist. How can one understand the subtle nuances of each others talent without direct experience in it. It trys to link the two but reallly just results in a display of bragging between two different people. I am offended that this concept which is presented could be so far its mark.
