It's believed to have been a reference to a several years(?) old comment he made complimenting someone on their appearance.

I'm obviously shedding no tears over his departure however as a former on-air talent, I will say that he certainly just lived out a dream pretty much every single one of us had at some point. Leaving Karnacki (?) to live out the nightmare that goes with it, which is unfortunate even if have no love for him either.
