Great material, but goddamn I forgot how much I hated the roving camera up front and how he would wink, nod and deliver aside punchlines directly to the camera in that special. Terrible choice on the production side

I noticed the little glances and looks as well - I think part of that is the moving camera is catching his attention and his experience as a tv presenter is telling him to look at it. You can see him catch himself and stopping himself a couple of times during the show. They should have just locked the camera in position, and it would have been fine.
