Imagine going on Seth McFarlane’s pocast and having people come out of it going “whoa, that guest was a dick”.
That’s dedication to your being a dick craft.
The theater folks I used to know back 15+ years ago were pretty vocal about the fact that Maher is pretty nasty to work for and that he’s a giant asshole. I don’t know if that’s common knowledge or common experience, but seeing these folks’ passionate distaste for him left an impression on me.
You don’t need to hear behind-the-scenes talk. Just watch his show. He’s undeniably an asshole. He’s not doing a bit or a character because he’s the same when being interviewed.
Are you saying Seth is a dick? If so, is there anything I can read about?
A dick? No idea. Don’t know the man.
A dickish vibe, public persona and general cultural presence? I mean, enough that I made that joke, I suppose.
