I feel you man. I was ranting to my wife this weekend over the irony of anti-vaxxers bitching about “freedom” when they’ve been doing whatever they wanted this entire time while we have restricted our movement, our behavior, etc. Due to our inability to get childcare we trust (a vaccinated nanny who will take the…

I thought it was incredibly fun. Some of the best fight scenes in the MCU. Strong actors who elevate the okay script. Disagree that Shang-Chi doesn’t have much charisma. Disagree that the tone is inconsistent. It’s not flawless (as with most Marvel movies since, oh, 2014 or so, the last half of the third act is a…

Are you under the impression that only the AV Club didn’t like him? Sorry, but the response was also negative in plenty of Jeopardy-fan corners of the internet.

A coworker of mine revealed today that he was her first boss, and that she saw far worse than these allegations in her email regularly...

The baggage made him the worst guy for the job.

I knew him from his many game shows, both in the US and Canada.

Winning a contest that you rigged to make yourself look good is hardly proof of anything except ambition or neediness.

Do you think you are making a positive case for him getting the job here? If you’re doing what I think, which is claiming that AVClub was unfairly negative about his hosting skills, I have to say, try to read the conversation. It’s like you’re posting on an article about Bill Cosby being released from jail that is…

The reference to him being the “worst guy” is hyperlinked to an article that justifies that ranking based on what the Ringer reported about him, coming across as a misogynist frat boy prick, not about his prior hosting experience or performance as a guest host. The view being expressed is that the conduct is…

even IF you want to overlook his horrible character, i felt manipulated that they made a big deal about “auditioning” new hosts...& then gave it to the producer.

I think we can do a little better than “very competent.” Especially when the competence is coming from a generic charisma-free exec who loathes women. Gotta say, it’s funny to be lectured about “standards” by a guy whose standards for a game show host don’t even include “does not hate half the contestants.”

God, yes.  I’d never seen that before and after ten seconds of scrolling, it’s fucking awful.

I stand offended with the situation that as someone previously noted “White man leads search for open job replacement then essentially gives the position to himself despite clearly better candidates showing up”.

STOP CALLING IT JEP

What is even your point here

You act like Trebek was unknown before he got Jeopardy! Far from it. He’d been hosting game shows for years. I remember particularly liking one with oversized dice, High Rollers or something. He was well known as a talented game show host, not a behind the scenes guy.

I will give you that he was not the worst guy for the gig in terms of competence.

“But I guess modern avclub also has no standards because, yknow”

but he was very competent (and as I’ve argued, very good) at the job

Seriously if Chris Brown still has a career after all the shit he’s done DaBaby will be just fine no matter what he does.
