Rick Sanchez in unwatchable

He's just sitting there bumbling and saying "ummm..." between every fact he reads off. He really doesn't even sound like he knows what he's talking about. He just keeps bumbling on and on.

Then they brought in a female reporter (didn't catch her name), and she's acting all happy and excited while reporting a story about a shooting. What the heck is going on with this show?

Then when she handed it back over to Rick, he led into the next story with her while leaning over the desk and being ridiculously giddy and dramatic. I watched Rick once about two years ago, and he was never this bad before. Is this guy drunk, or has he just become so arrogant that he enjoys making a fool out of himself for two hours a day, five days a week?

Is "all of the above" an option?
