I don't know if it's really that the host hates John Cage as much as the fact that John Cage's reputation relied heavily on being controversial and having people wonder how serious he was and if what he made was really music, and the host was just playing his role as a media figure stimulating that debate.
I will admit that inviting the audience to laugh was going a bit too far, and they might not have laughed, or at least they would have tried to hold back their laughter so that it wouldn't interfere with the piece so much, if he hadn't mentioned the possibility of the audience laughing at least twice.
Still, it's kind of like when Nirvana played on Jonathan Ross.

Sure, he acts like he hates them the whole time, but it's probably just to play into their image as THAT BAND THAT ONLY YOUNG PEOPLE UNDERSTAND. |

I want to attend a performance of "4'33" and sing "Lollipop" as loud as I can the entire time.
In addition to his composing, Cage was also a philosopher, writer, artist, printmaker[9] and an avid amateur mycologist and mushroom collector.
