I think he's just more focused on making the money from his endorsements and appearances. The show has become just something he does to keep those and the money coming in.
And I honestly don't know what he's doing during the actual interviews, since he often asks a question the guest just answered. He's got producers, but I don't think he reads the notes, OR he's going down the list of questions in order even if something has already been answered. The latter is my guess.
