“So Couric was the original “Shut up and dribble” chick?”

This is all just a bad look for a great show. I’d have been fine if they announced right from the start that Richards was going to take over, but before that they were going to have a month of guest hosts or something. But pretending it’s an audition? Fuck it, just make the “boss’ son” the host and stop dicking people…

I think he showed more energy than a good many of the other hosts, especially Aaron Rogers, who I read a lot of people thought did great but I thought was kind of wooden. Perhaps Mr. Burton was a bit over-enthusiastic at times, but I think it’d be easier for him to dial it back than to get others to dial it up. Just…

I’m not a Jeopardy viewer but this whole process seems designed to alienate a lot of the audience. How do you bring in all these celebrity guest hosts then go with an utter nobody? It started out seeming like fun. A chance for everyone to throw their hat into the ring. To end like this just seems like a screw up that…

To the shithead I dismissed: yeah, not at all the point I’m making here and you can fuck off with that shit.

So everyone is you? There were some magazine articles, a dying medium in the mid-2000s, so the whole world should know? Really? The only reason people know about it today is because it went viral in 2014. I never said said they couldn’t have known about, I literally said they could have heard the rumors or heard about…

I’m sorry, but a fuckton of people knew nothing about it until Hannibal Buress made it viral in 2014. Obviously there were rumors and court cases/reports available, but they were not well publicized at all and that info didn’t spread around the world. Are you saying you knew about it in 2005? I doubt it. Most of the…

No one in fall of 2013 holding a picture of Bill Cosby could possibly be confused about the message they were sending.

Yeah, the Cosby thing started to blow up around October of 2014. I was certainly completely unaware of any allegations in 2013, and I think that applies to most people. I guess the people in the picture could have in theory been aware of Cosby being an alleged rapist, but it wasn’t common knowledge at the time, and it…

I don’t think the Cosby allegations were common knowledge until Hannibal Buress’s viral joke in late 2014. I think most people still associated him with sweaters and Jell-O up until that point.

You could certainly be confused in fall of 2013. Bill Cosby’s fall from grace happened at the end of 2014 (prompted by a Hannibal Buress clip going viral, of all things). Bill Cosby was still putting out comedy specials at the end of 2013 and generally thought of as an adorable elderly figure, going on the talk show…

The Root with the hard-hitting journalism of going after Ellie Kemper and Lin-Manuel Miranda for racism.

It’ very nit-picky. We scream about representation, and when someone does it, it still isn’t good enough and then we shit on the people who are on our side. 

LMM has done more to promote minorities on stage and screen than anyone else in the last dozen years or so. Too fucking bad if there’s not enough of a particular minority featured in “In the Heights” - he shouldn’t have to apologize for shit.

Oh man, you didn’t check in to see how this insane stretch of a nothing-burger was getting roasted over at The Root? Cause it’s getting no traction there, and it feels like their readership should know.

Very click-baity and disingenuous.  Words have meaning.  And to attempt to slander someone who by all accounts is not racist, and probably didn’t know the meaning of the ball, its all kinds of fucked up. 

It’s not *quite* accusing someone of Nazi sympathies because they once owned a VW Beetle made in the ‘70s, but it’s only a step or two removed from it.

Am I missing something? I see no connection other than the origins of the festival or party or whatever that would tie her to KKK leanings. If dumbass Black people wanted to join that bullshit, that’s of course their choice but I don’t see where she was personally connected to the KKK or even racism. I also think it’s…

Well they would be marginally better off in the sense that they would be the subject of one fewer barely-there barrel-scraping AV Club post.

So if Weinstein were a really nice guy, completely fair and ethical, never assaulted anybody, was a really crappy business man who lost all TWC’s money, had to declare bankruptcy, then sold off the company, how would these stars be any better off? Because the way I understand it, it’s the bankruptcy that gets…
