As I understand it Melvin is the ultimate bluffer. He is given a paragraph or two to read as an intro and has a list of observations/points to talk about.
He can be good as the discussion coordinator and prompter, but I don't think he knows how many quarters there are in 4 or remember who looked after the young Henry VI.
My points are not that everyone should, just that I think he does not retain much.
I still like the program a lot. I put that down to the production team and the voice in his ear.
EDIT: forgot the question: Does his style work for you?
