Stewart Copeland Interview (1990)

Bob Costas is best known as a sportscaster/commentator, but, if you ask me, he really shines as an interviewer. In the 90's, in fact, his show, Later With Bob Costas was uniformly brilliant. Not only did he usually show supreme taste in guests (Martin Scorcese, Paul McCartney, etc.), but he was always incredibly informed and prepared to conduct an interview that wasn't tied to a series of pre-determined questions. His approach was warmly conversational and, because of that, he got really great insights from his guests.

Of course, one of my favorite Costas interviews was of Police drummer Stewart Copeland and, as luck would have it, I found the interview on YouTube and thought I'd pass it along.
