"He has no emotional intelligence, he has a blind spot to his incompetence, and he's conflict-averse. When people are uncomfortable, he tries to deflect, make jokes—which makes him seem like more of a schmuck." —Howard Guttman, management consultant
"At school, he probably wanted to be the 'cool kid' but couldn't do it. At lunch he might have tried trading carob-covered apricots. Who wants that?

He's trying at times to be the class clown and at other times to be the class president—but he's neither." —Michael Wetter, clinical psychologist
"Michael fails as a comic. You must have a sense of humor about yourself because it's something that people respond to. Beyond just being good for your well-being." —Paul F. Tompkins, stand-up comedian
