What most people don't realize about Scientology is that Tom Cruise…is only five foot seven! If that man were any shorter, they could replace him with Tyrion Lannister. *Peter Dinklage Photoshopped into Mission Impossible appears to the left* I'm trying to climb this skyscraper, but my arms are just too short! They're TOO SHORT, dammit! *bangs fist on desk*

I agree, it's a shame that he has to dumb it down with those lovely cutaways in order to keep Americans entertained because they're so loving dumb, he should start presenting HIGNFY in the UK or something.

He doesn't have a lot of variety with delivery and the setups are predictable, same with the act out response to the jokes - "That'd be like letting a monkey poo poo in the urn that contains your grandmother's ashes. **graphic of monkey superimposed on urn** No, monkey. No! You can't do that! But seriously - we actually had that graphic made for another show - seriously, back to the topic ..." - but the material and research is pretty good and they cover interesting topics.

He is steady good stuff to watch. His producers are doing a good job. I should say sitcoms aren't my thing.

his shows are weird because every 5 minutes he remembers that he's supposed to be a comedian and awkwardly splices a lovely joke into his rants
