I never really enjoyed him on CBS…..I always said, Stephen’s show was always about him, no matter who the guest was, it was always about how Stephen could top the guest. Ugh……absolutely loved him when he was the man, ya know on his Comedy Central show……he gets a real “talking head show” and he was NEVER ANY GOOD AT IT. Oh, and JMHO.
