I'd like to watch it but I'm not paying extra to get that channel.

No Problem

What am I missing? I don't like this man.

I like him, he's smart and funny. I hope they can come up with a winning formula for him. He used to do a "morning zoo" type radio show on Air America that was fucking awesome. Morning zoo format with a liberal political slant, it was absolutely brilliant.

WTF podcast is fantastic.

i used to listen to every WTF episode but then i burnt out on all his neuroses. i got sick of every interview basically being "we used to hate each other so lets work that out now" or listening to him struggle with his anorexia or his GF. which i get is his shtick. i just got oversaturated with his issues.

that episode with mike destefano is still a fucking classic, though.

Maybe because I hate all stand up comedians I hated this but I hated this.

Not sure how long it's been since you listened but it's not really like that anymore. He's pretty much run through most of those people by now and it's generally more about the guest. Some of the recent ones I enjoyed are Huey Lewis, Dean Delray, Rob Schneider, and Darryl Lenox. The Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks ones are fucking classic.

Around 2000/2001 he had a local cable access TV show called Metropolitan Desk where they would set up a desk on the street, and he would interview people. I was interviewed (?) for a "what's your word?" segment (he asked me what my word was... I told him "dismal")
