GAWD that guy was obnoxious.

He did have an absolutely uncanny way of sounding condescending, no
matter what he was saying, how much, or to whom.

The funny thing is that his replacement, Steve Thomas, came across as
just the polar opposite - a really likable, knowledgeable guy. But
his recent show, Renovation Nation or something like that - I can't
watch it. He's turned into a smarmy, smug prick like Bob Vila. Maybe
it's death to be a host on TOH. The new guy who looks like Howdy
Doody is another really likable, slightly boobish guy. If he turns
into a smug prick we'll know for sure. Stay tuned.

Been over 20 years since he left TOH:
