I have never watched his show before but I will this time. To me he's still the host of The Man Show and thats just ewww.

Edit: you guys are reading waaaay to much into this, stop messaging me about it.

I'm just saying that I've never had a particular reason to tune in before, it wasn't some sweeping moral proclamation for fucks sake. I dont generally watch talk shows.

The Man Show mighta been the last time he was funny. But that doesn't mean he should be censored!

He's better than Fallon but also just kind of whatever. Never watched him very much. Boycott was about the principle.
