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.
