Do You Believe A Talk Show Host Should Go Off On Tangents Talking About Himself, When The Show Isn’t His?

I was listening to an NPR program earlier this morning (The Takeaway), where the host didn’t seem to be really listening to what his guests were saying, and he would make random comments about himself in the middle of what the guest was saying (i.e. when one guest spoke about how many Facebook friends their organization had, the host interrupted to say he didn’t have that many on his personal page).
I completely understand people who have their own talk shows (which are actually named after them) talking about themselves through the show. I also understand the little banter at the end of the BBC’s programs, to fill time until the ending music starts… but I think it is completely rude of this host, to interrupt the news stories and interviews with little tidbits about himself throughout what is supposed to be a professional show, which has several various hosts and not just him, on a national news network.
What do you think, though?
