Maybe we can try to use a loophole to get her to pay British tax rates, since she sometimes pretends to be one?

Come on, who doesn't identify with an actress whose every character's name could just be replaced with WASP?

I suspect that by this time next year, we'll find out that a woman is every bit as able to start wars as men can. Equality!

I feel like she'd be the one with the huge McMansion and the Country Living decor and the huge lawn that everyone on the block would hate/envy. And then one day the cops would pull up and find the whole family dead because one of the adults snapped because of debt.

He's the basically moral guy that you never actually root for. You know you probably should, but you just don't. He's a main character in the titles and everything but doesn't have terribly much of an impact on the major developments of the show. I wouldn't worry.

Nah, it would have had the word "shit" in it, since FX shows have to overuse that word because they can't say "fuck."

And it's hardly illogical to argue that a second-degree murder conviction is them doing better than expected, given the facts.

It's sort of like how the Sopranos cast members who have actually had problems with the law are the ones whose characters were the least criminal. Artie Bucco's wannabe tough guy-ness was sort of a punchline in the show, and then the actor went out and got himself in trouble. Also the guy who played A.J.

Yeah. That was a misstep.

Also true in the sorta-sequel Death Sentence with Kevin Bacon. He doesn't play Paul Kersey though the book is a direct sequel to Death Wish. Multi-ethnic gangs galore there too. So weird that Hollywood thinks it's politically incorrect to acknowledge that all gangs are ethnically based, at least for members.

Post-Sajak I think it was a possibility. At any rate, it was enough of a possibility for Helen Kushnick to use it to pressure NBC into committing to give Leno the Tonight Show.

R.I.P.

Well, Johnny Carson did everything he could to tank her show, including (I believe) keeping her from getting any guests by leveraging spots on his show. Which led to her getting non-Carson guests like..Husker Du, surreally.

Al Gore?

Probably also didn't want to make trouble in the press for his eventual successor.

Also because of a certain myth of suffering for one's art.

Neither did Johnny Carson, who you'd figure would have built up a few chits after hosting the show for 30 years.

The Late Show with Chris Elliott?

One might almost think that meritocracy is a crock of shit invented by elites to fool the norms into thinking there's better than lottery odds of them rising to the top.

But a complete ignorance of all that stuff makes it much easier to do "both sides are wrong" or "on one hand/on the other hand" pieces!
