I really like Desi Lydic as a correspondent buuut i don't like her as a host. Likeable but lacking screen presence and she's waaay too deferential and flattering in interviews (the Danai Gurira interview from 2 episodes prior especially) she could NEVER do the more substantive interviews w/ scholars/academics/journalists that Jon does on Mondays (granted so couldn't most the other correspondents) and thread the comedy-thoughtful/serious needle that Jon does well
