He com…" 55:05 . Shane's logic: with all the scandals fully out in the open, there's nothing left to hide — which paradoxically makes Hunter more trustworthy and more interesting than polished politicians. He draws the comparison to Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who openly admitted to smoking crack in a press conference and cited 'plenty to eat at home' when accused of infidelity, becoming a kind of folk hero for his honesty. Shane also reveals he has already tried to pull strings to get Justin Timberlake on the show. JT allegedly phoned in his world tour after the DUI and is reportedly going through the motions on stage — which Shane says makes him even more fascinating as a potential guest. The pitch: two podiums, Matt and Shane in chairs, and a simple question: 'JT, you were drunk.'

Shane argues HB could be a politically viable figure because all his scandals are already public — nothing to hide, nothing to lose. He compares him to Toronto's crack-smoking mayor Rob Ford, who held press conferences owning it all and became beloved.
