I feel like this is a stupid question, so pardon if it is.

This is the question I had!

How long do you think corn needs to cook?

He cooked it for 8 minutes.

He cooked 2 ears for 8 minutes, he said 4 minutes per ear. Did y'all listen to the video?

I've been putting shucked corn in the microwave wrapped in waxed paper for about 4 min. It comes out perfectly crisp and ready to eat. No need for boiling water. I don't know how you'd do it for more people than 2 but it works for us. I'll have to try this next summer if I can remember it by then. Looks like a good idea.

When it comes out of the microwave, it is cooked.

for bugs, you can cut them off and the chewed parts after it's cooked. Same with bad spots.

I microwave corn in the husks (but not for 4 minutes an ear) and then wrap it in a kitchen towel for 5 minutes or so afterward.

We always rinse the ears after shucking to help cool them down, so we can remove any bad spots or buggy spots then. I have not yet tried this method of shucking though. I saw it last week but I don't know if anyone is still selling corn in the husks around here.

I wonder if Ken has a (much) younger brother.

Seems like a neat idea.I usually put my cleaned corn in the pressure cooker ,add 1 cup of water and cook it for 3 minutes.I am going to try this,just for the heck of it though.
