He's hosting the Tony Awards tonight on CBS, and I have turned it off.
[UPDATE: lowest ratings in years. So maybe I AM onto something?]
I hate his carpool karaoke shtick to no end. It makes me carsick.
I find his humor humorless.
One of the many critics online says this:
"he's a professional dickhead who makes money pretending to be adorable".
He'll make more money tonight from CBS than I have made in a decade (or more!), so he obviously does not need my applause.
But I just don't get it.
What does anybody get out of watching him???
(Update: The N.Y. Times not only likes him, but said Sunday night's broadcast prevented him from being his brilliant self...
Sigh.

The 73rd Tony Awards hit an all-time low in Sunday's ratings, falling below 6 million viewers for the first time. ABC's Sunday game shows also premiered to low numbers.Source: Hollywood Reporter
The CBS broadcast of the awards averaged 5.46 million viewers, down about 14 percent from the 2018 Tonys. The previous low for the awards was 6 million in 2012 and 2017.
The show also reached a low in adults 18-49 with a 0.8 rating, down from 1.0 a year ago.

(He)..."was saddled throughout the night with bad ideas based on the notion of the Tonys’ inadequacy compared to television, or to streaming video, or to hip-hop music."
Sigh.
