Lynell, if that’s a grammar question, “he” is correct. The simple way to test is to use the pronoun alone, dropping the additional parties. To refine it, if you are including “you” and “I/me”, you put “you” first and yourself last. The incorrect usage used to be drummed out of us by 3rd grade at the latest. In the past 20 years the incorrect usage has become so common, I hear it from teachers and news anchors, and correct usage has started to sound strange.
Now we’re hearing the use of “myself” in place of “I”, which also drives me crazy. To be correct: “I went to the store and I bought myself a treat.”
“Myself” is essentially from me to me or me without help. “I painted it myself.”
Isn’t he though? Plenty of people on YouTube that will love having TC as gift of a guest.
I think he (him?) and Greg Olear would make quite the podcast; just sayin'

Yes, I’m a retired teacher and a grammar nerd.
Thank you, Danielle! I lost my way when, as you say, correct usage started to sound strange. I am grateful for this reminder.
