I think there's supposed to be something to it, such as this nobody is all of a sudden famous, with doing little or no work. That's the American dream, right there. He really has little to no talent, though. Plus, I spent a good five years of my life around Michael Essany types- people who thought they were going to be the next David Letterman; so I have to admit I find the show doubly annoying. Been there, done that.
Of course, I didn't vote for Bush, so you may want to ask this question to a 'real' American.
