A husband and a father and a heart attack survivor who is now 52, he’s got more on his mind than being a wiseass.

Not just himself as a person, but himself as a sensibility: quick-witted, working-class, pop-culture-obsessive wiseass Jersey boy.

“Has his success made people hate him more? Yeah, sure, he’s a wiseass and irreverent. But he’s a good person, no, a great person. I’ve heard the rumors on Bobby since we got in the business after winning some Cal Cup races. It’s all because of his success.”

The fans loved his wiseass pantomime.

They did, however, have that intern over in promotions — the one who seemed comfortable in just about any situation, the one who was kind of a wiseass, the one who talked too much.
