Why was this asshole famous?

Punk'd was a huge early 2000s phenomenon and even before that he had a cult following from, "Dude, Where's My Car?".

Because he plays the “himbo” quite well, he always made me chuckle on That 70’s Show. He seems like a decent guy too. I wouldn’t say he’ll ever be A-list but I don’t begrudge him any success he has enjoyed. There are certainly less deserving stars out there.
