6. I didn't see him on that program but on other shows where he tried to lighten up, like Leno

maybe. He's ok, but as you say dry, and self effacing a bit. The experience certainly humanized him for sure.
I adore the doggie photo, what a face! what a sweetie-

I heard Brian described this morning (on Morning Joe) as 'always the funniest person in the room.' You certainly wouldn't know it to look at him on the news - lol.

8. 'Funniest' wouldn't be known from his appearance for sure, but it's not impossible to believe that

he has a less rigid comic side. It's well known that others fabricate (lie) esp. about military service- like Dubya in the Texas Air Guard, and Reagan who said, 'like other men when he came back from the War all he wanted to do was see his wife' to paraphrase. What a whopper, he only worked on pictures for the Defense Dept. state side. He also claimed that he was at the liberation of concentration camps for filming, and to Israeli leader and Nazi Hunter Simon Wiesenthal of all people. Outrageous, what boldness, deceit.

....okay, I can see that.

....if a corporate appointed, 1% sanctioned president were to tell the truth, who would believe him?....or possibly her?

....Washington; where honesty is optional, corruption is welcome, with evil ruling the roost....
