@@stephenstrang590 It kinda changes from the 80s to the 90s to the 00s. But in general, his appeal is zany, wacky bits and humor... early on he was pretty hostile with some of his guests, which won him some fans but cost him others. He also did more stunts (blowing shit up, jumping in huge bowls of cereal, dropping stuff off the NBC building, etc.)... he got more relaxed and chill as he got older, but always loved doing bits like these. The Lyle stuff is the direct descendant of the Chris Elliott stuff from the 80s.
