Unfunny mediocrity. His style is 1970s humor with all the sexism, racism and misogyny that entails. His game shows are just garbage. Washed up old comedians he hires to tell unfunny jokes to canned laughter. The thing that most people don't know about him is that he is a billionaire and owns his own media company.
