You were not impressed by Snowden because frankly I believe Snowden was not prepared for John Oliver's style of sarcastic comedic interviewing.
John is correct on the fact that the average person does not take this seriously or is completely ignorant on the subject. Edward Snowden believes the topic of mass surveillance is a very serious one, as he should. John is acting like the normal person namely an immature moron that does not take this topic seriously at all...
Both are brilliant and John's commentary is a sad wakeup call to the intelligence of the average person in this country.
The fact that "Dick Pics" is the best way to get the public to understand the massive problem that is mass surveillance is both true and very very sad.

I wasn't very impressed with Einstein, his hairstyle does not look professional.

I feel like the interview was edited to make it seem that way. If you watch any of Snowden's other interviews and lectures, he's always very articulate and passionate about the subject.

It was edited that way in order to increase the comedic value.

Most people (non professionals) don't feel too comfortable in front of a camera.
