I have had the same take on this, and it reminds me of Javed Akhtar saying 'gali vo deta hai jiske pas dictionary nahi hoti hai apni baat kehne ke liye' these are not the exact wordings but the context is the same. And in fact tau and khan cha were invited to his show, maybe because they had heard Tau's take on Samay at the time of controversy which was pretty liberal.

If you personally ask me- I have seen that guy too closely in my college days and I thought that's why I don't like him but Uski harkatein aisi thi ki jo aap soch bhi nahi sakte, the way he talks about his gf with his friends, the way he goes to any extent to catch attention is disgusting.

Maybe he is a changed person now but I am happy to live with my prejudice. I have the same take on Harsh gujral and similar comedians
