His show is entertainment, so he has this character who is semi- incompetent in everything. Yeah, he has this personality also, but not 100%. And some of what he does is just idiotic.

The thing about playing a bafoon-ish, semi-incompetent character that uses racist encoded jokes, promoting a lifestyle of the bored rich elite is that at some point you have to come off stage and out of character.

When Clarkson comes off stage, he punches people in the face because he didn't get his din-dins or writes opinion pieces with racist encoded jokes and illiberal positions.
