There is no alternative with anywhere close to the caliber of guests he gets.

Plus, like Trump is a poor person's ideal of a rich and successful person, Lex is a young impressionable person's idea of a smart person, this makes him relatable to his main audience.

They said Trump was their "ideal" of a rich and successful person.

Not that he wasn't rich or successful.
