Ryan just doesn't have the control or the quick-on-his-feet style that another host would have shown. I can think of so many better, more capable hosts. He's just not that talented, IMHO.
Your wording is so much better than mine... thank you Dev!

The interview makes me think of the popular kids in school sort of ridiculing the weirdo right in front of him/her. It brings back memories.... Makes me sad. Ryan should have deflected the whole situation.

I work with people with brain injuries and GB's behavior is/was very spot-on for how they behave even without being drunk!

No excuses... Just my take on it.
