I want to dislike him too, but I've seen him on some British panel shows, and he can be really funny.

He has done some assholish things, I totally get that. On the other hand, some really funny interviews. And I just discovered he's taking krav from a friend of mine, so that'll amuse me for forever.

There's a fine, fine line between charming and asshole.

Okay, now people are just making stuff up, right?

That's my guess. I would hope.
