So glad to hear that Chabon is stepping down. This video demonstrates how self-important he is. This would have been so much better had Anderson and Atwood been allowed to just chat without the constant interruptions of an overgrown child with attention deficit disorder. These women are titans. Let them do their thing.

So untrue.

[@Tojazzer]

@@Papermac Look at the rest of the comments. I'm not alone. Chabon should never have been allowed to host this. It is clear that the child is incapable of holding his tongue, his twitching and Tourette-infused antics.

I kept fast forwarding to hear the two ladies talk and statistically speaking everytime I went forward the dude was always interjecting. My goodness let them speak and put your mic down.

[@dancetechtv]

he is unbearable...wasted time with these amazing artists.

[@kissy51]

He must had ADHD, can’t sit still for a moment! Dreadful interviewer

[@sharonrussell7799]

Love Laurie Anderson's curiosity... she's beautiful.

[@sharonrussell7799]

"I, Me, My, I, Me, My, I, Me, My"with MC.... but beautiful to hear Atwood and Anderson.

[@uamiable]

What a laborious preamble 🙄

[@suebevan5466]

I was so looking forward to Anderson and Atwood, but they weren't allowed to speak! So frustrating.

[@Queenie-the-genie]

They spoke a lot

[@Tojazzer]

@@Queenie-the-genie Certainly not enough. That Ritalin-starved manchild ruined what would have been a great event.

I promise to do my best,
To be true to myself, my beliefs and Canada.
I will take action for a better world
And respect the Brownie Law

[@nancya7289]

Better!

[@danord4213]

Could anyone please cut out the interviewer? It would have been such an inspirational talk without him constantly interrupting the flow with his self-centered nervous questioning. He has a disturbing intrusive way.

[@foxinafrica]

Interviewer asks Anderson and Atwood about their childhood. Cuts off Atwood to talk about his own childhood. He is unbearable.

[@Queenie-the-genie]

oh please

[@TheDobsonic]

He talks for 8 minutes off the top.

[@charleskristiansson1296]

Who is Michael Chabon?

[@candicehopkins9845]

Brownies were only part of Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and UK Girl Guides. I don't think there were "Brownies" groups within the United States' Girl Guides organization.

Please don't sing, please don't sing, please don't sing
