However, his insufferable behavior and lack of talent led to his eventual departure from the network. Crowder's early life and upbringing likely played a role in his inflated ego and misguided belief in his own uniqueness.

Crowder's personal hypocrisy is also evident, as he claims to uphold conservative values while engaging in inappropriate workplace behavior and abusive conduct.
