He was kinda funny back in the day before he became talk show host, but then the fame went over his head and he became just another souless corporate “comedian”, just like Jimmy Kimmel. He acts and sounds SO FAKE now, he tries so hard to be likeble to the point that it’s painful. Too bad he does no good to english comedians anymore. He does not even look very english btw, looks like a fresh out of boat swedish guy.
He doesn’t look very swedish to me. Is it just because of the blonde hair?
