One could be forgiven for believing that the endless gaffes of this publicity seeking individual are a deliberate attempt to keep himself and the programmes which he presents in the public eye.
What other possible reason could there be? If he is so remorseful about his "inadvertent" use of the n-word, why even use this silly rhyme as part of the script of the programme, when this word is an integral part of it, and is suggested even if not actually uttered? His contrition looks pretty shallow.
Just an unusual way of advertising the programme.
