1. Some staffer at some point has gotta ask....

"Um, isn't that how we got INTO this mess?"

Sheesh. buncha fucking evil idiots.

2. Yes, they have

been letting him be himself. A total embarrassment. For some reason he seems to feel compelled to inject one of those "wild and crazy guys" moves from ancient SNL into every appearance, then look around to see if anyone caught it, much like a three-year-old. I would rather they just put him back in the box and take him out only when necessary.
