The 38-year-old has also responded to the controversial news that the former White House spokesperson, Sean Spicer, would be joining the series. Replying to a fan on Twitter, he said: "First, I have no say who is on the cast and didn’t find out till this morning that he is on! But I’ll tell you this... I’m excited to sit down w/ him and engage in a respectful conversations. Only way things get better is if we try to educate those who have different POV than us."

However, some fans were disappointed by his response, with one writing: "It’s so beyond respectful conversation and you know it. This man was a mouthpiece for bigotry and hate. He continues to defend Trump. Walk away." Another person added: "There is no engaging in a respectful way with Sean Spicer. It's not like meeting a Trump supporter for your show and having a one on one with them. This was a person in a position of tremendous power and influence who abused it and contributed to what's happening."
