What was fun to me was when Howard interviewed Paul McCartney. Howard tried ever interview trick in the book, and Paul deftly swatted them away. It was great watching two masters spar at each other.
I saw the same thing when Prince Charles was interviewed by 60 Minutes, where Prince Charles effortlessly parried every tactic tried by the reporter.
I don't think he swatted them all away. He let some things slip by, although I've no doubt it was not spontaneous "let my guard down and got caught accidentally" on Paul's part.
I got the clear impression from Paul that he only revealed what he wanted to, not what Howard manipulated him into revealing. This is unlike what happens with his other guests.
