He is a bit of a tease.
Jeff Gannon on his “The Conservative Guy” circa 2002-2004 website, page titled “Who is CG?”, set the stage for his recent show:
In many circles, I have become known as “the conservative guy”. Some people don’t even remember my name because I am an average type guy. I’ve been a preppie, a yuppie, blue-collar, green-collar and white-collar.
