This is a great interviewer. He asks questions that he really seems to want to know the answers to. Plus he doesn't over talk Brian.

So that’s what Brian Boitano would do

I so love you and your skating. You seem very happy and I so hope that your life has been very happy. I just finished watching your 1988 gold medal performance once again. I love going back at watching it all the time.

As one of Brian’s biggest fans, I’d lost track after the Olympics. This is a wonderful interview and he’s still a champion in so many ways! I’m glad to see his continued success and happiness. ❤️

Best figure skater of all time

I can't believe Brian is 58! Wow does time fly! But I also can't believe I'm 60 either. He's been such an incredible role model for the sport and for LGBTQ youth. He inspired me as a very amateur figure skater, I marveled at his mastery of the sport, and it was a wonderful part of my life. Ironically, I'm also a classical singer like his partner. So I know that both worlds require dedication, passion, and lots of practice and hard work! It's wonderful that he's enjoying the flow of life and connecting with his friends and Italian roots and living the life of his dreams. I'm also Italian and it must be a dream come true to renovate his grandfather's home. I greatly enjoyed his wonderful relaxed yet professional commentary for the Beijing Olympics - a breath of fresh air when everything else was God awful. He and Ashley are so beautifully down to earth and complementary and fun! This was a fantastic interview. It was good to get to know you Brian. Thanks both of you!

Gosh I hope he does something like a Netflix show or something that gives us more of all he is. Amazing interview. I skated for years as a kid and got so much out of this interview. Thank you!

Brian Boitano! You're so thoughtful! What a warm and wonderful interview!

My brother and I startedd ice skating in the same group lessons as Brian. He was such a cute and talented kid!

I loved his skating. His size and power

Brian is so fascinating.

I met Brian a couple times. He is wonderful and overall great person and inspiration.

What a great interview. Really enjoyed it.

I think the interest in skating has decreased because skating doesn’t have the “personalities” that it had when Brian Boitano, Scott Hamilton, Victor Petrenko and all the other skaters of his era had. Todays skaters just don’t have it. Love Brian. He’s my all time favorite.

Agree 100%

Fascinating and enjoyable. Now off to watch your 1988 performance.

I love this man.

I saw brain boitano in Chicago in 1988

Brian is the greatest figure skating of all times, no one ever came close to his perfection!!!!

He fought grizzly bears with fire breath

What a great interview!

When the Olympics used to be so interesting to watch. Boitano has such athleticism and style in skating.

Great conversation

Great interview. My grandparents were from Lucca.

At 23:00 minutes in - you’re wondering why skating isn’t as popular anymore. I blame the scoring process. As a fan, I totally understood the scoring and now - forget about it.

Yes...the new "Code of Points" has ruined skating. ..by awarding big points for quad jumps and frenetic movement...style and choreography has been lost...now all programs look the same !

I agree. Also the great drama after the skater when each judge's score was shown. Final drama audience reaction.

I used to live in the bay area, and I haven't seen Dan Ashley in many years. He looks unrecognizable to me. He really aged a lot!

Brian skating to "Missing You" It's Icoinic. Only Okana's "Arabian" is at that level. Thank you Tonya Harding for creating the audience and literally the money for a few years after Lillehammer to facilitate where Professional Figure skating went--even if for just a few years, YOu deserved no to be able to skate again.

Nice interview. It's not what you don't have, it's what you DO have.

I love how he hasn't made his sexuality the center of his professional, public life. It's just one part of him. Cool!

That was a real treat to get to hear him he sounds like such a nice man . 🇨🇦

great interview, love Brian with no hair!

Not only were you powerful, you also were very graceful on the ice, I had no idea how political your career was, that explains why Kurt walked basically the same road 😢

This man conquered a fierce opponent in an intense psychological battle while the entire world watched. Breathtaking strength and determination. I hear the CIA uses his eyes as laser weapons.

What would Brain Boitano do when being interviewed? He'd answer the questions and follow throught That's what Brian Boitano would do!

Is he OK? When did he go bald?

Normal hair loss and instead of doing a ridiculous comb over or wearing a toupee he decided to just shave it all off and rock the bald look, and he wears it well.

He’s the only man that can climb the alps, fight grizzly bears, just to save the maiden fair!

Without jest, his 88 Olympic performance might be the best ever
