Listen to his interview with Mark Zuckerberg. That interview demonstrates why he is really special and nobody else is doing interviews like him: 1. Who else is landing guests like Zuckerberg? 2. Of those people, who has the willingness to ask questions such as "why do you think you are one of the most unpopular CEOs on Earth?" (paraphrasing) 3.

He's more interested in exploring deep questions than presenting one single political view. So, even though he can come off as boring or monotonic at times, he's rather unique as an interviewer. That is what makes him successful.
