      It’s just Jimmy Fallon honestly, he’s murdered the Tonight Show. Also, audiences were more respectful back then and saw talk shows as light conversation, not total comedy shows. These days hosts are very concerned about attention spans so they keep making comedy bits for everything, which is mostly how hosts like Kimmel, Fallon and even Norton operate (i personally think Norton’s show is the finest on television at the moment despite of this problem), but there are a couple of hosts still around that are able to handle seriousness, like O’Brien and Colbert. I think Colbert has gone much too political, and O’Brien is unfortunately ending his show.

    Old interviews of Scorsese and DePalma are really eye-opening in the sense that you can see how their temperaments have evolved over decades. It seems as if modern-day Scorsese and DePalma have switched demeanors. In older interviews with Scorsese, he comes across as much more restrained and serious--in contrast, recent interviews with him show someone more candid and friendly. DePalma seems to have gone in the opposite direction. He's definitely not jaded or overly-cynical now, but I think his relationship with film critics in the 70's and 80's might have permanently soured his relationship with the media. In the 2015 documentary, "DePalma", he still appears aggrieved by the critical reception of some of his movies. Despite this, he's lost none of that brazen quality he's known for. In fact, he currently comes across as more wise and hardened. It's pretty fascinating to me how differently the film industry has affected these two.

      I think your diagnose is incorrect. He said he had trouble concentrating, also his fast speed talking may suggest Attention deficit disorder. Any way this types of labels often make people think of Scorseses as better or grandiose because of having this "condition". I think it's bullshit it doesn't make him any better or worst. He's just an excellent director. Any way if someone has depression and he smiles would you see him as better or grandiose? It's only a label, it doesn't make you any better or worst.
