He created and co-starred in one of the most misogynistic shows in the history of modern television.

He was doing "Watters World" schtick before Jesse Watters started doing it on Fox.

The show literally had young women jumping on trampolines.

He wore black-face to do impersonations of Karl Malone (And this was in the 2000s).

It was sexist, right-wing garbage, and it ran for six years, and it was his creation and his production.
