Brien admitted that he’s had a great time since leaving his late night show, as he can now give many types of interviews that he never could have with his “attic format.”
He explained: “I mean, that old format is dying out, but they’re being replaced by a whole host of other ways to connect with people and be funny, and satirical, and probing, and unleash your talent – which in some ways are more liberating. »
