In his book, (I think it was titled Gasping for Airtime), he does admit to passing off one comic's bit as his own character, and is then confronted by that comic and his lawyers. I'm not sure if that's what everyone is talking about though.

So, I avoided this roast like the plague, but isn't that joke like the "This year the world lost Greg Giraldo, but even worse, we kept Jeff Ross," one from the Donald Trump roast?
Seriously, this is what everyone has their panties in a wad over?

Well, at least this episode was lacking Will planning his wedding.

Absolutely. I just checked her Wikipedia. She has technically already won a Grammy, for the soundtrack of Spring Awakening, and nominated for an Emmy. I can't believe she wasn't nominated for a Tony, she was quite lovely in Spring Awakening. Of course, she'll need to do movies with more weight than New Year's Eve for…

yeah, NYADA is clearly AAMDA. I don't understand why Rachel, who we know is the super overachiever doesn't have a backup plan for school. Who the hell only applies to one super selective college?

Yeah, I'm only coming back if Matt Bomer does.

And now in the Smash recaps, Christian Borle should be noted for his multiple Tony noms.
ETA: Yup, definitely thought he was gay. So he's a better actor than I thought. He used to be married to Sutton Foster.

I think it's part laziness and part wanting to make the character as non-confrontational as possible so as to make her well liked.

And that's exactly why advertisers are so interested in 18-34 year olds and 25-54 year olds. Older people aren't as easily swayed into buying new products as the young and naive.

Agreed, I really liked his character, he's a much better match for Jess than anyone else we've seen her with, including Nick.

Agreed, her answer doesn't make much sense unless she's saying she doesn't have the time to concentrate on whether she wants to get married, but are we to believe that if she was still waitressing and going to auditions she would have still told him "I need to think about it?"

Sam is easily my favorite character. Mostly because he's (comparably) well written and very well acted.
If they don't recast him, can we please have Leo go to boarding school next year? And maybe have the boarding school overrun by some sort of viral disease that leaves all its students mute? And no, I don't want him…

"I sacrificed so much for you." What the FUCK did you think you were getting into by dating an aspiring theatre actress?
It's so frustrating how Karen never has a response in arguments other than to walk away. I know McPhee isn't the best actress out there, but there are so many times with Dev and with Ivy that she…

I can understand that you're not supposed to tell the public what you're doing, and that you're not supposed to have visitors, but I don't for a minute believe that the rules prevent you from telling ANYONE you're doing the show. I work for a network that has competition shows, and the contestants are not allowed to…

My favorite of all the bullshit excuses from "artists" is the "you didn't get it" line. Uh, nope, I got it crystal clear. You're not Jackson Pollack, I just didn't like it.

EW had someone at the taping, and yes, all three were "crowned" that night. Chad was  crowned first (then Sharon, then Phi Phi, who apparently was an absolute clumsy mess) before Ru told them she was crowning all three for spoiler prevention. So the entire reaction to Sharon winning was faked by everyone, even more…

Two excellent reasons for celebrating the cancellation of a show you didn't watch.

and as per Nick Offerman when he was on WTF with his wife.

How about a motherfucking Emmy nomination, instead?

I love Chris, I really do. I really don't mind his enthusiasm because I find it sincere. The same way I find Maron's seething cynicism sincere. I think the way Chris does things works for the frame of Nerdist, the same way Marc's way of doing things works for WTF.
I also really enjoyed this interview, and seeing how…
