Repeatedly highlighting how much this guy sucked at this dumb gig really isn’t doing anybody any favors. It’s unnecessarily mean to a relative unknown, and I’d think AV Club writers would have at least a little empathy for people who aren’t funny but are desperately trying to be so on a bigger stage than their skills…

He’s a working comic. If you follow the industry you know him. But I put him in the same class as, say, Salvo Maniscalco, where like, he’s making bank, always working crowded rooms, clearly successful at his craft, you may have seen random clips of him floating around online, but your average person doesn’t know who…

I feel for the guy, but “I wrote some of these, and they’re the ones you’re laughing at” is the sweatiest thing I’ve ever heard from a host. Maybe I’m falling victim to recency bias.

I don’t know the daily hours the cast worked on TCP or the start and end times but Henson’s driver request brought to mind when a Riverdale actor got into a car crash late at night when he fell asleep at the wheel after a sixteen-hour day on set.

“...as her level of fame is an essentially unprecedented phenomenon that the public is still figuring out how to handle.”

well my point was that comparing the two doesn’t make any sense.

the long pause before he says megan good is like coretta scott-king is so fucking funny. it’s like the only two black women he knows about are michelle obama and king.

When you’re the kind of narcissist who does the whole cup carrying, you’re never gonna cop a plea, take the stand, etc.

The insane thing is that he simply should have taken a plea deal, laid low for a year, and it would have blown over. Thankfully though, he and his awful legal team decided to violently fight back as hard as possible, and in the process, completely exposed an unrepentant monster for what he is. 

I saw it. I really don’t understand the big deal. I don’t have any specific loyalty to Jo Koy but Taylor Swift’s inability to take a goddamn joke has been well known for years. Fuck anyone who gives a shit and fuck AV Club for perpetuating it. 

I call them piccy-me-doos.

While so many of his contemporaries (and a lot of the folks he talked about here) are still whining about “cancel culture,” Katt had this absolutely spot on take on the Joe Budden Podcast a couple years ago

“she prefers working behind the scenes and handing off her new compositions to other artists.”

I guess she feels now that she’s a successful author she should branch out writing wise.

I too refuse to return to the music industry.

“declaring that she actually now considers herself a “ghostwriter.” “I’ve written over 20 songs for other people the past two years,” Spears asserted, saying that she prefers working behind the scenes and handing off her new compositions to other artists.”

What a fall from grace. He ended his show because he knew people were laughing at the jokes for racist reasons. Now he refuses to have poor people live near him, hangs out with Elon Musk saying only the poor people are booing, and nothing but lazy trans jokes.  Hes cruel and boring in equal measure.  I never thought…

There’s a certain threshold past which you stop thinking a comedian is just taking swipes at a certain group of people and start believing he just actively hates them. I think Chappelle crossed it several specials ago.

It’s all fun and games to him because because it’s not personal to him. Well, except for that one transwoman friend who absolves him of his sins.

caught the top clip on x (formerly twitter) last night and i think it encapsulates both what actual funny is and why chappelle is such a loser now.
