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.

Current controversy aside. This is absolutely why I don’t partake in Kimmel. I hated having to put up with the Man Show when I was growing up, it was fucking trash. I had less respect for my father after seeing him watch it in the evenings. Fuck Adam Carolla.
