    20 years ago I thought he was a sharp, funny, iconoclast. These days, I think he just says stupid outrageous shit to provoke a reaction. He’s like human clickbait.

    This is second hand info, but everyone I know who has ever worked for him basically hates him. He’s a raging asshole, difficult to work with, and just a horrible human being on a personal level. I’ve never met him myself, but the people I’m referring to are all pretty awesome, wholesome people so I do trust their judgment.

    Never really cared for him and barely paid any attention to him throughout the years. He just seems like a prick.

    I thought he was funny in the 90’s. I saw a newer stand up special he did a couple years ago and was totally turned off by his views and the fact that not one of his jokes were actually funny.

    Same with Dennis Miller.

    I’ve been told when I went to bitch about that special on Reddit that he was only funny before because he wasn’t writing his own jokes, and I’m not sure if that is actually true but it would make sense.

    I started to watch him as he never pulled punches and picked some great match ups of guests and hot topics.

    I stopped because his insufferable ego kept compelling him to continuously talk over everyone with his non-stop opinionated smug. Once I noticed I was just watching one man listening to the sound of his own voice while guests that I wanted to hear from get repeatedly cut off at every third word by his desire to manufacture Jerry Springer type drama, I realised how punchable I truely found him to be.

    He’s a smarmy self-important jackass who revels in the ability to get as much attention possible by attacking anyone who can’t defend themselves.

    I think he and John Krasinski should have a contest to determine once and for all whose face looks more like a bowl of mashed potatoes.

    For a while it seemed like his guest quality was generally high enough to be watchable, but its been years.
