Notes:  (include ego-trips and obvious prejudice or bias examples)   Michael opened the show with glaring egomania bragging that his show was so witty that you could say it contained “intellectual nudity”. He frequently inferred he wanted sympathy for being banned from ever travelling to England (because of his racist and intolerable media statements). It was one long diatribe against President Obama and democrats. No dialog or balanced presentation in the show found.
