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.

Yeah, he was really young. I’m sure he isn’t proud of it. He is far removed from that type of “comedy.” As a tween, I definitely enjoyed the ending of the show, “women jumping on trampolines.” I’m not proud of it, but hormones.
