This show is the reason I have always dislike him.

He was kind of funny on "Win Ben Stein's Money", so I initially looked forward to this show.

But then I watched it and it kind of pissed me off. Like, is this what a "man" is supposed to be? A sexist douchebag with a terrible sense of humor.

It was a TERRIBLE show. Glorified womanizing and binge drinking.

Despite what he says now, that was who he was. He shouldn't have had a career after that.

But he's just a talking head. He doesn't write his material, he just reads teleprompters and has celebrity friends.

    The Man Show really turned me off to him, and I ignored his late night show for a long time. Then I started watching him when his son was having medical issues, and he started talking about the health insurance problems in America, and I realized he was a decent man with similar views to mine.

    Actors/ Entertainers have to scratch & claw at the beginning of their careers, and it's hard to walk away from a regular paycheck. The experience he got on that awful show allowed him to do a great job on a really good show, so perhaps it was worth it.

    I'm sure he cringes at Mab Show memories, too.

    You may be right.

    I only have time for one show though, and for now, that is Colbert.

    I do think what happened to JK is beyond fucked up and it is just another peg on my radicalization meter.
