Other than that I find him rather inoffensive.... but not particularly interesting or amusing.

For instance, Hitchcock never won an oscar -- I deliberately use lower case -- except an honorary one. Neither did Kubrick.

Never a directing or a writing oscar (though he was nominated for both), but he did get the oscar for visual effects for 2001.

Not only did I get the wrong award show, I got the wrong year.

He hosted the Emmys and Tonys in 2013. Time sure does fly when you're getting old.
