Sounds totally scripted to me… not standing up for the guy, but put yourself in his shoes…
He probably has a slew of people telling him what’s good for his celebrity status… that’s what managers, writers, publicity consultants do… they “direct” him.
Now figure that he was hosting a show on one of the most whacked out networks there is .. owned by Disney…
All the jokes, etc were probably written by others and scripted to him to do on air ..
If I was him, first thing I would have done was fired every swinging dick even remotely associated with this whole situation…
