Him starting off by defending the criticisms of shitty work doesn't help his case.

I haven't read said criticsms about the overweight actors for myself, but I can see why anyone would criticize. It's not the actors being overweight alone that's the problem; it's the portly appearance in conjunction with the cooning that he passes off as comedy that perpetuates those stereotypes. He, however, refuses to acknowledge or address that. I respect that dude is getting paid, but I refuse to support bullshit.
