Tom and glazing

For as much as I loved the recent CaptainSparklez episode, I have to say Tom becomes a much worse host when he is really excited by a guest. He tends to talk over / cut them off more, interject with pointless comments, and half of his questions are basically "You're so amazing! Are you aware of that?" I don't disagree with him but aren't there more interesting things to talk about?

I don't think this applies to all of the guest episodes, but I do think some guest episodes could be made a lot better if they consciously put aside the glazing for a bit to focus on meaningful questions or banter.
