100% this. I don't get this idea that because he has a background in comedy and personal troubles that he somehow doesn't deserve to be listened to on the topic of politics. Isn't that the whole idea of democracy?

If he's well informed or not can be debated, but the same could be said for everybody who has an opinion.

Every popular person will have a portion of people "idolising" them, but you'll probably find the vast majority just watch in interest of an alternative viewpoint and/or for entertainment.
