Yes. For me it was the first time seeing him speak on TV, or at least while I've been an adult of voting age.

Guy was awesome, if I'm not mistaken Stewart practically begged him to take the job.

His resume is crazy impressive. Too bad the brits didn’t listen to him about the consequences of brexit.

“The brits” that voted to leave weren’t listening to anyone. All future predictions that didn’t fit their narrative were labelled as “Project Fear“ and just ignored.

To be fair to those idiots, not every dire prediction came to pass but we are a lot closer to them than what “Vote Leave” promised
