Yeah, cause he's turned his smile into such an outrageous amount of money, yes he has. Pretty sneaky of him to buck the trends and abandon TV for radio - *public* radio no less - so he could fool everyone by making even less money. And that bit about tossing Obama over for a poverty tour - it was a canny move as we see how casting off his large black audience for a much smaller, more elite group of hipsters and retirees has given him that breakthrough crossover street cred and niche marginal profitability he was always steering towards. And cutting off from Wells Fargo on principle? he should have been *paying* everyone, not just losing "lots of money". Anyone can be a Trevor Noah or Arsenio Hall and just flagrantly pursue crass cash - Smiley keeps up that misleading "is he/isn't he" appearance. Can't hold a bad man down, can you....

He does, obviously. And you hinted you'd respect someone more for having their shit together with the political gamesmanship. You may have found your Running Man.

yes but, who the heck cares
