His look is always flamboyant (I somehow think he thinks he invented flamboyancy) - but his commentary is spot-on!

For me, definitely the Shibutani's "Fix You" FD.  It's been a long time since any skating of any discipline has moved me, but that one brought tears to my eyes.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9Zvl9THlwA
