I had enjoyed his humor in his past series, respected many of his views, and regularly found common ground in his causes.
After trying to get through the first episode on this series, I found that he uses the same tactics as shock-jocks to pit guests against each other, shuts down people while they are speaking with whom he doesn't agree, attacks and insults guests (not in line with his view) at a personal level versus addressing the topic at hand. Regularly uses vulgarities to emphasis his point, and laughs at his own comments... I guess to let the audience know it was supposed to be funny.
I certainly don't mind the occasional outburst or obscenities in a show, but 40+ minutes of ad-nauseum self-righteousness emphasized by foul language just doesn't do it for me. It's unfortunate that he's lowered himself to such levels. Maybe he took cues from our last President on how to make yourself more popular. As another reviewer who gave him 10 out of 10 stars titled his review "JS Making TV Great Again", how ironic indeed. And, maybe that's the problem with Jon???
