He's a terrible conversationalist which is fucked up for the host of a talk show. He's a terrible conversationalist because he's quite dull witted and has only a small bit of knowledge about anything and his life experiences are dull. But he doesn't seem to know this and he will blurt out something inane that his brain retrieves from its limited vault of knowledge when a word triggers it which leaves the guest in an awkward situation not knowing how to respond or if there's something more to come from Jorch that will make the inane comment/anecdote not so inane.
Like he'll have a guest on and the guest will be talking about events involving say President Eisenhower - this will trigger Jorch's brain, 'Eisenhower, president, general, bald, Dwight, WW2' and he'll open his mouth and say 'He was a great man, they don't make them like that any more. I remember as a kid him running for president and his campaign slogan was 'I LIKE IKE', my mother who's almost 90 still has an I LIKE IKE button in her drawer where she collects things.' Now what the fuck does a guest say to that, it's a thoroughly uninteresting personal anecdote that has nothing to do with the guest's information.
Last night it happened with the Rod Serling guest. The guest was telling the audience how prolific a writer Serling was, he wrote 'most' of the Twilight Zone episodes. Jorch commented that he did use some outside writers including Ray Bradbury, the guest confirmed. So now that Ray Bradbury's name is out Jorch's brain is triggered and it's fumbling around to retrieve something, anything about Ray Bradbury and out comes 'In my office here in St. Louis I have a letter from Ray Bradbury. It's on my board. When I was doing my local show in St. Louis we had a newsletter we'd send out and I put something about Ray Bradbury in it and then I got this letter from him, he thought it was great. I put it on my board, amazing.' Again a guest left to wonder how to respond other than 'That's great George' the way you'd be nice to a mentally disabled person or child. The story isn't interesting in any way and adds nothing to the conversation. But Jorch can't see that, he has no self awareness.
