Are you kidding? The moment he came on, I knew he was ... and he
certainly didn't hide his feminine side. In fact he was more feminine
than the others. Where did they get this sicko? The view has fallen
this low or desperate? I have nothing against a ... host...but for
crying out loud, have some talent and at least act like a man. Even
Barbra walters asked his mother in the audience, " I bet you had no
idea how your son would turn out" or something to that effect. i had
to turn it off and watch Price is right in repeats.
