Advantages: Nice easy going style

Disadvantages: Can dominate too much sometimes

Michael Parkinson has been hosting his chat show in one form or another for as long as I can remember, certainly I can recall my parents tuning in to see Parkie interview a host of celebrities from around the world and he is still going strong today, his one hour chat show usually has three guests and also a musical number as well either from a band or solo artist.

Parkinson is a Yorkshireman and does have a bit of the straight talking qualities of men from that county however he has a soft approach to interviewing, no Paxman style interrogations from him, instead his show is more light hearted and as such is an easy pick for those looking to promote eithertheir new film stage performance, record or book, indeed anything they like really.

I still enjoy watching hs chat show although these days I have to want to hear the guests he has rather than automatically tuning in for the sake of it, sometimes I find he can sort of dominate the interview a bit with his own anecdotes however when he has a really funny guest, someone like Peter Kaye for instance then often he is too busy laughing to interfere much and just lets them get on with it.

For me he is still a top chat show host and much better than the rather smug Terry Wogan who used to annoy me.

Summary: Chat show
