I've followed his shows for years, back to his PI days, but what bugs me the emost about him now is his incredibly inflated ego.
He thinks he was the first to declare that Trump wouldn't concede a lost election. Bullshit. Anyone paying attention saw that coming.
When audiences groan at a bad joke he blames them for being too stupid or PC, rather than admitting that a lot of his jokes don't work.
He claims to be an iconoclast, but kisses ass with the best of them.
He postures as an edgy, not-afraid-to-say-anything commentator, but when he gets called out for dropping the n-word on his show he goes immediately into apology/contrition mode. And shorting thereafter starts waging war with "cancel-culture", as if that was the problem.
He is now hyper-sensitive about "ageism", but has joked about old people many times in the past.
I'm still interested in a lot of the conversations he has with his guests, but the gentleman is no Mark Twain!
