In Terry Gross’ interview with Tracy Morgan, I believe Gross has a good connection with Morgan. Throughout the interview, Gross made Morgan feel comfortable when talking about Tracy’s personal life
For example, Gross always let Morgan speak his mind, no matter how emotional he was getting. When he was talking about his mother, you could tell that Gross wanted him to have release that emotion. She never cut him off with “noisey” follow up questions on this topic.
The only time she had follow up questions was when they began talking about Morgan’s career on 30 Rock.
I also believe she did an amazing job on her research on Morgan. She was very informative when it came to Morgan’s personal life, his run on SNL, his relationship with Tina Fey, and 30 Rock. She proved she was informative on his career because she played snippets of Morgan’s iconic SNL skits. She asked the right questions and made the entire interview a good listen.
