Actually, I hope that if Christ existed, he'd pick up that bullwhip that he went to town with, purging the moneylenders from the temple, and put it to good use on shitheads who pull crap like this.

As a monologist, I would put Ron White right up there with Alan King in his prime.

I'm curious to see it, but Woody's whining is playing to his fans. The man worked for the better part of a decade in television. I can't imagine Amazon not bending to his every whim to make his show happen.

I can't wait to hear Jennifer Lopez utter the immortal words, "Allo, ducky!" in her best Bronx accent. Said no one, ever.

Daniel Tosh had a bit on his show called, "Joke Police", dealing with the controversy. His take was it used to be all a comedian had to worry about back in the day was either Andy Kindler or Joe Rogan calling you out as a joke thief, but with the internet, everyone's a member of the "Joke Police." He then…

Robert Morse was the original star of "Tru." He won the Tony award for his performance.

Not sure about her being a douche, but when she was accused of stealing jokes from Kathleen Madigan, Patrice O'Neil, and Daniel Tosh awhile back, a lot of comedians placed the blame at Metzger's feet, as he was her main writing partner, and was dying to become famous.

Well, Tosh's "Babe Ruth" joke landed right in the middle of "Trainwreck." Colin Quinn thought it was familiar when he delivered the line, but didn't think anything of it until another comic brought it to his attention, after he saw the movie. I remember reading when Schumer was accused of being a joke thief, a lot…

IIRC, wasn't Metzger rumored to be the writer for Schumer that boosted jokes from Kathleen Madigan, Patrice O'Neil, Daniel Tosh, and another female comedian for Schumer's show and "Trainwreck?"

I have a feeling that some relative of Capote's, or possibly representatives of his estate will put the kibosh on this auction. I seem to remember that eBay doesn't allow auctions of human remains, so I can only imagine the bad press that this will bring the auction house may cause them to withdraw the cremains sale.

It could be part of a contractual agreement, for him not to turn up on any kind of show similar to the one he did for CC. That might leave out appearances on Bee's or John Oliver's shows. I figure with his writing, performing and production experience, he'll be meetings with his agent in a week, fielding offers.

You may be the person to ask about this. IIRC, after Capote died, his partner Jack Dunphy inherited the bulk of his estate. Again IIRC, after Dunphy died, he left the cash in the estate and Capote's literary rights to a trust to sponsor a prize in writing in Capote's name. Dunphy then donated the cottages they…

Nope, as Tosh meets his numbers, ratings wise and brings a dump truck load of cash to the network. And since TNS never became a prestige show, it was easy to dump it. Then again, Comedy Central has a history of canceling shows quickly.

NBC was renewing Conan's show weekly at one point. And the network had decided to actually cancel it, and wrote a press release announcing the decision. That is, until the suits realized that the only thing they could run in it's place were "Late Night With David Letterman" reruns, or Leno's previous Tonight Shows.

You haven't seen Daniel Tosh's version of Real Time With Bill Maher.O in which Andy Kindler barraged Tosh's Maher with such insults as, "What's it like to be a 60 year old man who wears Ed Hardy shirts? and "If you and Jimmy Fallon had a baby, it would be known as the kid who killed comedy!"

I guarantee you that won't happen for at least a year. I'm certain that Larry's contract has some sort of "Non compete" clause if he wants to receive everything he's entitled to from it.

On the upside of the story, Cavett said it wasn't that bad. By the time he went to the meeting, he had received phone calls of support from Johnny Carson and Jerry Lewis, among others.

I read an interview with Dick Cavett in which he said he found out about the cancellation of his ABC show by his father, who called him after he had heard a news report about it on ABC radio, an hour before he was officially told that the show had been cancelled. He kind of knew the axe was coming, though.

I read an interview with Johnny Carson in which he said that he considered going on the McLaughlin Group as a panelist, as he found the show great television.

I did like John Scurti's "Lou" character. I've always held out hope that as one commenter on the AV Club put it, "Someone will develop a show for Scurti in which he plays an international gourmet chef, who also solves mysteries." Sort of like Murder She Wrote, but with a whisk.
