David Sedaris has gotten me through some rough times. My entire undergrad was Sedaris and REM. I am pleased to say that thirty-some years later, they still hold up.
I skipped it on your warning, then heard her interview David at the end, and she didn’t seem to listen, she clearly had a list of questions/points to make as if this was about her. Amazing how many “journalists” or critics are like that today. Everybody thinks their thoughts are as important as a great writer. Wasn’t like that 30 years ago. Write your own bestsellers, lady.
It's horrifying that we have such cruel and often very stupid people who have elected people to Congress who truly do represent their most abhorrent beliefs and behaviors. 25 years ago, one had to listen to far-right radio to hear someone vilify POC and LGBTQ and call for their exclusion in America. Now this venom has infected an entire party.
How is this possible the person who wrote this masterpiece also is the best reader of it? I juat found David Sedaris at 65. It gives me Incredible hope to live longer, to have found this treasure at my age......life is fantastic!
I don’t care if David thinks he is a horrible person. I think he’s delightful, and I want to be his partner in crime. Maybe I’m a horrible person, too. So what? 😊
These recordings from the John Adams Institute really suffer from the inclusion of the pointless, self-indulgent ramblings by the incredibly uninteresting people introducing David Sedaris. Ugh.
The speaker doing the introduction did a thotful, analytical talk. It was longer than we do it in the US. I enjoyed it because it was different and detailed. It's only about 13 minutes. David was in a foreign country, not the US. Not everyone there knew Sedaris as well as an American audience. That's how they do it. Get over not liking it. You are not in Kansas anymore.
There are a few people who I’m glad are alive while I am: Mr Sedaris is one. Everyone I’ve introduced his work to has become enchanted by him. He’s so relatable yet so gifted.
The first 12 minutes and 24 seconds should be deleted from this video, not a single person listening to this gives a single shxt about her and it wastes times for viewers!

The moderator missed more than one good opportunity to remain quiet.
Good Lord! I didn’t think they were going to let him read
Yes!! I hope she reads this and takes note!
He was too polite to say what he really thought. 😊
Jesús, I thought that introducción would never end.

12:45 David starts
THANK YOU! That woman was unbearable
@@MmeVerdurin OMG, WTF was that with the 5 hour intro?!?!?! WOW, are there any Americans left that aren't narcissists??
👍
Reshia & Willie Minggia What???
Thank you
Sedaris begins abt. 12 minutes in. Oy vey.
Worst introduction ever. Let David do his own material.
the interviewer is so annoying omg bro
Everyone complaining about the interviewer should save their breath. He loved her style, and could not have been happier. Ask him.
She was delightfully smitten by him, and who can complain about that?!
Yeah, because he is so polite
So? We find her annoying. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you so much Mr sedaris, you make me laugh out loud, peace xx
Your stupid a$$ does realize that David Sedaris will never see your comment because this is not his channel?
God fu*k are you dumb!
'Shamelessness' is now a national obsession in the USA. It wears much better on a comedian than with a politician.

He's a one off! If you haven't yet read/listened to Me Talk Pretty One Day please do...it's brilliant. I wish David would have his own radio show.
Oh what a good idea
Check out his BBC Radio 4 series. Many episodes are available on RUclips. It's how i first heard him.
@@alanburke1893
I first heard him on NPR
[National Public Radio]
narrating his 'Santa Land Diaries'.
David starts about 13 minutes

David Sedaris is to sarcastic humorous writing , as to what Steven King is to horror genre ❤️

True brilliance
She sounds like miss Hathaway from the Beverley hillbillies! I’d rather just listen David.
The Santa Land Diaries!
12:49 starts

that intro was sort of... patronizing, no?

Speak for yourself! Their channel, extra info, he didn't mind and impatient viewers can skip/ff or listen elsewhere.^^
