I realize this may get me banned from the entire internet. I realize he’s beloved.

BUT THOSE ARE ALWAYS THE WORST ONES.

I’m probably wrong. I hope I am. I’m not saying it’s true. I’m literally only saying what I’m saying, which is that every time I’ve watched interviews with him (e.g. on Conan), he gives me the willies a little bit.

Edit: Just realized “gives me the willies” is an unintentional pun. Giving 10/10 points to myself retroactively.

    There is nothing to substantiate your feelings, I think the “creepy” vibe may be better described as mischievous, which he absolute was, in a playful way. So yeah, consider this your ban from the internet.

    But more seriously, you maybe should check out his memoir from 2005. It’s pretty fantastic and I think it would both inform you to his life and humanize him, might influence your perspective of what you’re observing.

      I believe you. I’m going to look up his book and hope to have my hair-standing-on-end suspicions disproven. Nay, I hope I feel like shit. But for now, he might be a pedophile.
