      He’s basically the male version of Oprah. He has a lot of time to fill, so he invites on tons of grifters and crazies, including many alt-right, and lets them spew their bullshit mostly unchallenged.

        Exactly. He’s a gateway to fascist, incel culture. Little ditch weed, he doesn’t provide enough kick to keep you satiated at that level, so you move on to harder stuff.

      He platforms people with dangerous views. Friends with Alex Jones, etc.

      He also calls himself a comedian and as a person with a sense of humour I find that offensive.
