Then again, he's 50 and damn doesn't he now look it, died hair or not. Quote: (and how old is he? Wikipedia says 51 - I guess thats someone having a lark I though he was forty odd.). There was a big editing war on wiki over it, with people rejected every citation going. Then someone got a copy of his birth certificate. |

Don't know much about this toaster, other than that he's a big radio presenter who likes his hip-hop. Does he always look as though he's trying reeeeaaaaaally hard to appear menacing? I hope he's just taking the piss, and is actually a perfect gent off-camera. |

I'm still not sure whether all of this 'big dawg, HOLLA!' nonsense is really a bit of a joke and done for effect. Maybe he was 'ahead of the game' in getting into the so-called cringe-comedy thing. But then again, maybe he started that as a joke or way to get attention but eventually started to believe it. 20-odd years is a long time to keep doing it. I love to hate him, but yet find all that schtick quite funny. Laughing at him (or his character, uless I'm giving him too much credit), mind.
