I'm finally catching up with his first episode. I don't find him coprorate; he's just kind of bland. Having seen the other candidates (except for Burton), I'd rank him near the bottom. He's outwardly pleasant enough, but doesn't really run the game; cetainly not as well as Jennings and Cohen did. For that matter, neither did Bialik (I'd rank her low, too), but that ship has sailed.
