My god, I am just amazed on how good the interviewer he is. He seems to ask great questions and even better follow up questions. Even Dolly was amazed on how good he was. Considering she is 70 and had countless of interviews before, you must feel amazing. You nearly made her cry with the Witney question.
This is the best interview I’ve ever seen of Dolly. And I’ve seen them all! This guy should do a special with her. She didn’t use humor once to divert the conversation. She went deep in her answers! She was real and honest and vulnerable. Shad, whoever you are, you nailed this big time!!! Even Dolly herself congratulated you!! That’s huge!!! Thank you SO much for this! It’s a masterclass on journalism. And Dolly delivered a masterclass on life!!
Great interview. He allows Mrs. Parton to fully respond. Based upon his INTELLIGENT questions, he has done his research BEFORE the interview. Mrs. Parton is legendary and is an humble superstar.
I agree. He would ask questions and then let her finish with her answer. I've seen many interviews where the interviewer would ask her a question, but then interrupt her before she completed the question. He was really good and I really enjoyed this.
I would have to agree with y'all! You can just see it in his eyes because there sparkling and he never stopped smiling, which is the 1 piece of being a great interviewer because it makes the person feel calm and easy to tell you everything, going back to what y'all said about him NOT disrupting her or being "Bigger" but being on a perfect level with her which again is another reason why shes the calmest I've seen her
I always saw her as honest and natural, that’s what makes her so lovable but I do agree that he is a great interviewer, so respectful and giving her his full attention compared to others who just wants to run through the questions.
Very enjoyable. What a superb, intelligent interview. I love the warmth and respect and the space given to allow Dolly to speak. Bood on you Shad. Bravo!
Dolly is the closest thing to perfect I've ever seen. Her beauty, intelligence, common sense, commitment, drive, talent, morals, ethics and the list just goes on and on and on. What an asset she is to her family and the world. Something and someone to aspire to
He is an excellent interviewer. This shows what a truly special person Dolly is. Such God given talent, yet she remains a Godly woman with a kind heart.
She's s renaissance woman.So many talents, superlatives .One of a kind, I've never seen a woman like her before in my life with smarts, business savvy , drive, charisma sex appeal. She is a true Icon and sweetheart along with it. She's so captivating .
She represents the most honest integrity in a beautiful and talented form. The world will be poorer without her when she is gone. Someone for all of us to emulate.
This is the most wonderful woman in showbusiness... I just loved her enthusiasm, expertise, depth, humour and focus. How nice of her to compliment Shad at the end! :)
Just bought Dolly's new CD and it's lovely. I love everything about Miss Dolly, from her accent to her singing to her personality and her beauty. She's an American Sweetheart.
Dolly I think is an inspiration for many Canadians because may of us may have not grown up in cities, but even if we did we know struggle, we know family, we know love. our connection to her has always been love.
What an awesome, intimate interview...probably one of the best (if not the very best) Dolly interview I've ever seen! It's just very real and down to earth. This guy does an incredible job asking great questions and letting Dolly answer them from her heart. Most enjoyable. Dolly is still timeless, legendary, and truly iconic!
Outstanding interview you can see the love in his heart for Dolly and her respect for his ability to ask questions she enjoyed answering I've seen all of Dollys interviews this is my favorite and Dolly looks stunning .
This interviewer is such a darling he lets Dolly talk rather than interrupting like a lot others do and he has the sweetest smile and he listens. Because Dolly has been interviewed many times and this is probably the best I've watched.
I agree with Dolly! You are a fantastic interviewer!! You listen very well & that seems to help shape such beautiful & poignant questions. Plus you have a very honest & personable approach & demeanor. You really brought out the best in Dolly. Idk who you are, & I hope you get to read this! Good work, sir!
I agree with Dolly Patton’s gracious comments at the end ... “you do a really good interview. Really. Really “. I’ve watched several others where she clearly is trying to redirect or deflect from the interviewer comments. So respectful. She opened up more OT seems because the interviewer was so respectful, interested, honed in on meaningful subjects. Well done. What an honor to receive her compliments after the thousands of interviews she just have been through. Well done!!
YES,this interviewer is fantastic!His questions are wonderfully poignant and he gets a lot of depth out of Dolly,listening intently and relating to her responses really well.What flow!
I know this is an old video, but boy trust me I have seen most every interview Dolly has ever been in , and she is so right you did an amazing interview, I truly enjoyed it... THANKS!
No matter who Dolly interviews with, it becomes just a conversation. She makes you feel so comfortable. Like going home. With all her money and outward glitz and glamour, she is just as down to earth as they come. I was privileged to see one of her shows in Pensacola-her Pure & Simple tour-she was amazing! Just her and her guitar and a piano player. It was fantastic! Amazing woman inside and out!
The way Dolly thanks the interviewer at the end felt so authentic. It made me so thankful for her and happy for him that he would to receive such praise.. I watched just that part 5X!!
Oh wow!!! What a wonderful woman... First up; you gotta LOVE Dollys drawl OMG! More importantly, her passion, love, soul, love of Jesus and her commitment to making others happy... the list goes on! Great interview! I will always love you Dolly!!
Truly one greatest interviewer, love all Dolly Parton song. Though years and kind make feel good inside so many years. True Fans love her classic hits songs and few new songs mix in. Her music kind lift you up to new life. Bring back memories as child and ones get older any age. It’s love in her music and gift she has give us. God bless Dolly.
It’s just amazing I have followed this woman since I’m 12 years old 1972 You know I watch the interviews and they’re always fun But this interview was exceptional the interviewer was wonderful he really was interested in her as a person not just an entertainer. And she connected with him so amazingly you could see the way she talk with him exceptional
I love Dolly ! She is so genuine and how she feels about life and advice on how she's handled her own life ! Such a great human being ! I could listen to her all day ! And her music !
This is the best Dolly Parton interview I've ever seen. We've always loved her at our house. My father was a Church of God preacher too and I am familiar with much of what she says here. Although I have stayed in Gospel music, and I'm not a star by any stretch of the imagination. The interviewer does such a great job and they seem to be so open. This is such a great conversation. Just the best.
I really love this interview because Dolly is really being serious and she really is talking from her heart and this is what the real Dolly is about and very rarely will she let anyone get that close to her feelings without lightening up the experience through jokes or laughter etc! Very Good!
One of the Best Dolly Interviews EVER! It makes me want to go talk to my old Boss.... (I used to engineer for a studio owned by Dolly, her Uncle Louis, and her Cousin Ritchie in Sevierville). She is SOOOOOOOO Sweet in Person.
Who is this guy, just like she said, he is exceptional at asking in depth, interesting, out of the norm questions. GREAT! She was awesome too of course!! Learn so much about living skillfully from her always! :)
What a great interview!!! I absolutely love Dolly Parton, she is an icon!! The interviewer did an excellent job, conveying his respect and enthusiasm for Dolly as a person and an entertainer...I really loved this!!! And Dolly was funny, genuine, and lovely!!
Great interviewer, asking really good questions. I get tired of people asking silly questions. This is one of the best interviews I have ever seen of Dolly Parton. Love Dolly! 👍😃❤️
Dolly has a big family but me I have nobody else to talk about anymore!.. best wishes Dolly Pardon and God Bless!...., I’m done with the the comment thank y’all for sharing and caring family to me about my life
That was great. Best interview I’ve ever seen with Dolly. Bright young man who’s nice, well prepared and asks insightful questions. Truly worth the watch.
Fabulous interview! Dolly is always fabulous but this interviewer was “above and beyond”!!! I could tell that he was truly interested in her answers, not just interested in what his next question would be...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is such an awesome interview...I learned so much about how truly wonderful Mrs. Parton is...I admire her drive, her talent and her Strong Faith’d roots. May God Bless you exceedingly abundantly above all I ask or think...You both are extremely talented at your individual gifts. Keep sharing them with the World. Thank you for posting. 🤔🔍💕👍🏼🙏🏽
I'm from Tennessee and I think I've seen every interview Dolly has done from the 80's and up. This is by far the BEST interview I have ever seen. He did an awesome job! I hate when interviewers talk over them or interrupt and ask another question to move on. I thought Bobby Bones had the best interview with her but this was even better.
He is a good interviewer; he asks the questions, good questions by the way, then is quiet while she answers. He has a sweet smile, too.
He really asked great questions and didn’t interrupt the way most interviewers do.
I'm just now seeing this interview in 2022. It's one of the best. This young man is great. He asks the question and allows her to answer.
My god, I am just amazed on how good the interviewer he is. He seems to ask great questions and even better follow up questions. Even Dolly was amazed on how good he was. Considering she is 70 and had countless of interviews before, you must feel amazing. You nearly made her cry with the Witney question.
Humility and genuine interest, make all the difference.
This is really one of her best interviews. She speaks so openly and eloquently.
Well, it's easy when Dolly was such a gracious guest. She has so many layers past what people only, typically, see
She's like that in all her interviews. I'm not a big country western fan, but I love Dolly (the Queen) and Willie Nelson (the King).
I agree. She seemed very earnest here, not as giggly and jokey as she often is.
I love the word eloquently the way you used it here is sublime well said my friend!
Dolly is one of the most fascinating people on the planet! Real, honest, brilliant and humble!! She’s the whole package!! Beautiful human!!
I have watched hundreds of interviews with dolly over the years, I have to say this is my favourite they really seemed to click!
THE BEST.
I agree!
This is the best interview I’ve ever seen of Dolly. And I’ve seen them all! This guy should do a special with her. She didn’t use humor once to divert the conversation. She went deep in her answers!

Best interview with Dolly ever. This young man is a fantastic interviewer! He really listens and then asks very poignant questions...great job!
Dolly Parton is my hero.
Vintage Dolly. I could sit here all day and listen to her and never get tired.
I know that's right !!!!
He is one of the best interviewers ever. Amazing.
EVER.
totally agree.
Great interview. He allows Mrs. Parton to fully respond. Based upon his INTELLIGENT questions, he has done his research BEFORE the interview. Mrs. Parton is legendary and is an humble superstar.
I've never seen Dolly this honest and natural before. She's right that he is a great interviewer!
Absolutely AND Amen.
+Claus Due I thought exactly the same! Great interviewer.
I agree. He would ask questions and then let her finish with her answer. I've seen many interviews where the interviewer would ask her a question, but then interrupt her before she completed the question. He was really good and I really enjoyed this.

Very enjoyable. What a superb, intelligent interview. I love the warmth and respect and the space given to allow Dolly to speak. Bood on you Shad. Bravo!
Very much so, BRAVO !!!!
I love how she is doing an interview with someone who is not mainstream. She is pure class 💜
Dolly is the closest thing to perfect I've ever seen. Her beauty, intelligence, common sense, commitment, drive, talent, morals, ethics and the list just goes on and on and on. What an asset she is to her family and the world. Something and someone to aspire to
The classiest interviewer. Dolly has so much to say and is an inspiration.
He is an excellent interviewer. This shows what a truly special person Dolly is. Such God given talent, yet she remains a Godly woman with a kind heart.
Hello Diane how are you doing today?
Dolly is an amazing celebrity ...i love her lifestyle..do you enjoy the interview?
Dolly is very humble even with all her success, she's amazing
We are so blessed to have Dolly!
She's s renaissance woman.So many talents, superlatives .One of a kind, I've never seen a woman like her before in my life with smarts, business savvy , drive, charisma sex appeal. She is a true Icon and sweetheart along with it. She's so captivating .
This is the first interview with Dolly I've ever seen without the usual fluffy questions about her looks. Well done!
Minutes 14 - 17 so tender so endearing and touching gold pure gold - brought happy tears to my eyes
DOLLY IS THE QUEEN! And Shad is such a great interviewer. He deserves a lot more recognition and credit! I hope he goes far.
He did a great job and of course I could listen to Dolly forever!!
thanks so much for doing a real interview with dolly and not focusing on superficial questions about her appearance. it's appreciated!!
What a beautiful,beautiful, interview!! Never had seen the interviewer before, but he was so great and seemed so sweet!! Dolly still reigns supreme!!!
Dolly is a GLOBAL treasure!
She represents the most honest integrity in a beautiful and talented form. The world will be poorer without her when she is gone. Someone for all of us to emulate.
I swear she is pure MAGIC!! such a magical person!!!
A beautiful human being.
A terrific interview.
So humble and wise.I love Dolly
Love the Screen-name and Love Dolly. I was probably the most "Rock and Roll" person who worked for her and her family.
:-)
Best interview I've ever seen with dolly. Amazing.
Who *is* this interviewer?
That's Shad, former host of q and currently touring as Your Boy Tony Braxton on his new record "Adult Contempt".
Dolly's BEST interview ever!
This is the most wonderful woman in showbusiness... I just loved her enthusiasm, expertise, depth, humour and focus. How nice of her to compliment Shad at the end! :)
Isn't She. The MOST. Of Them ALL.
Yea..because he deserved her praise.He was incredible!
Just bought Dolly's new CD and it's lovely. I love everything about Miss Dolly, from her accent to her singing to her personality and her beauty. She's an American Sweetheart.
One of the best interviews with Dolly I've ever seen...and I've been a big fan of her's since the Porter Wagoner days.
Dolly I think is an inspiration for many Canadians because may of us may have not grown up in cities, but even if we did we know struggle, we know family, we know love. our connection to her has always been love.
I think that guy went to sleep really happy that night ❤️
What an awesome, intimate interview...probably one of the best (if not the very best) Dolly interview I've ever seen! It's just very real and down to earth. This guy does an incredible job asking great questions and letting Dolly answer them from her heart. Most enjoyable. Dolly is still timeless, legendary, and truly iconic!
My absolute favorite interview of Dolly.
Outstanding interview you can see the love in his heart for Dolly and her respect for his ability to ask questions she enjoyed answering I've seen all of Dollys interviews this is my favorite and Dolly looks stunning .

Ain't nothing like the real thing and Dolly is just that! She always has been and a fine wine only grows better. I adore her.

What a Lady one so many people could learn so much from. Great interviewers, came across as genuinely interested in Dollys life.
I agree with Dolly Patton’s gracious comments at the end ... “you do a really good interview. Really. Really “.
I’ve watched several others where she clearly is trying to redirect or deflect from the interviewer comments.
So respectful. She opened up more OT seems because the interviewer was so respectful, interested, honed in on meaningful subjects. Well done. What an honor to receive her compliments after the thousands of interviews she just have been through. Well done!!
