He might be cr*p at radio interviews, but I think it's more because he made a career out of being a smart*rse, not because he's out of his depth with learned/acamic people.
He has a science degree (pure maths and computer science) so he's no dill, and when speaking about something important or close to hime, is very articulate and intelligent.
So much of our entertainment is dumbed down for the masses, and when these people are more rewarded for being "funny" than smart, this is what we get.
Just my opinion,

yes I think you're right. But I do think he's cringeworthy sometimes in his interviews with clever people,particularly from other countries who don't understand the 'humour' which I don't either as I just don't think he's funny.
Back to the OP though it sounds to me as though he might have been having too much Christmas cheer (if it was christmas, not sure).
