  • Coverage notes he questioned showing such relationships to young audiences, saying kids will ask questions he was not prepared to answer.
  • Rolling Stone reported that the segment discussing the Lightyear anecdote was removed from the episode’s YouTube upload.
  • Online criticism followed, including calls to replace him as the headline entertainer for the upcoming Australian Football League Grand Final, with outlets reporting requests for comment to his representatives.
