True, but Berkoff does have plenty of form for this kind of thing. He has

No doubt in all humility, he presents himself as a man of high principle.
Hmmmm.

I read this as the writer trying to be sarcastic, saying that none
of these shows were good enough for Berkoff to watch but were ok for
him to be in.
