I love him. Yet it just dawned on me right now while he's on the air, it's irritating this one little bit:
He's been all over the world, is undeniably a broad minded, all comprehending citizen of the world. But when he's having his guests "explain" their own culture to him, he's always like, "Yeah yeah, I *knew* that."

It's got a FRESH zest to it, supposed to be in small quantities, can't imagine anybody grabbing a BUSH of it, is just supposed to be *slight* accompaniment to the star components on the plate.
Yet comedians or whoever all of these kewl personalities are, who are SO famous, feel the need that they detest the very thought of CILANTRO!1
