I don't even care about his political views much. They're mostly the sort of thing you would expect from your typical selfish Boomer. I'm more concerned about his health views. Apart from vaccine "skepticism," there's other medical woo. I never liked him much, but I watched his show for the great guests. Then one day he had on the so-called doctor from Mexico who claimed to have cured Charlie Sheen's HIV and didn't push back on a single bullshit claim. I never watched his show again. If that hadn't done it, his vaccine position would have done it by the time COVID rolled around, but this was years before.

Also, as a former professional stand-up, I absolutely hated the way he berated his audience when a joke fell flat. That's like the number one never do.

Yeah he used to be pretty decent to watch but now he is just neoliberal, asshole, rich white dude who is completely out of touch with the people who used to watch his show.

Don't get me wrong, he has my respect for grilling so many right wingers. But he gave a deliberate platform to anti-trans talking points. No pushback provided. And I really hate him for that. He has since gotten much more right-wing in his New Rules. I felt like I was being scolded for being a leftist and enjoying the show. By the show's host.

Fair enough fair enough. Do you know what’s going on with him somehow breaking the writers strike?
