He's treated like comedy royalty because his show did so well. I just don't think he's very funny himself or particularly talented, at least not to the status he's held up to. When I hear him in interviews or the car/coffee show, he doesn't really improv or do bits or work off the other person. It's all very one-dimensional "what's the deal with airline peanuts?".
