  1. Fugly as homemade rhubarb sin, but in a pleasantly toadish and avuncular way, non threatening public image. He is one of those people you just have to sort of root for. He’s obviously talented and funny, and yes he has apparently disrespected female employees behind the scenes and he got fired for doing it, rightly so probably, but he is (as far as has been disclosed) certainly no Harvey Weinstein or Matt Lauer, and I’m glad he still manages to tour and get laughs marketing his “high functioning Aspergers” eccentric personae.

  2. Garrison caused incretable happiness for all of us for all those years. We all suffer for his disappearnce on Saturday evening.
