Really going to use Carl Weathers death to promote a substack.....classy move.

“I almost always recognize the host of SNL when they are announced”

First of all, TLDR for the most part.

Cancel culture certainly is a thing, in particular in academia, where they have actual response teams for bias. Tenured professors have been fired for having the wrong opinion. That’s not capitalism at work, that’s a direct assault on academic freedom.

Yes, but you can’t argue that he wasn’t famous.

they had Steven Segal on, and that was considered the WORST host ever. 

Everybody has their own bubbles.  I don’t know half of the random comedians the host SNL but Shane is one of the most successful comedians right now.  He makes like a million dollars a month on Patreon 

Then again, SNL at it’s best these days is just kind of meh... so maybe he’s the engine that will achieve total meh for an episode. 

Yeah, I don’t Twitter or care about the outrage machine. I just said I didn’t know who he was and after checking some videos decided that he wasn’t for me. I’m not outraged by his comedy - it’s just kind of meh. 

Personally I’ve never had to be convinced to buy Burger King. Of the fast food burgers it is my favorite.

I did.

All the time, at least for my age bracket.

So, the guy got fired from many young comedians’ dream job. This was in response to a public outcry arising from hist racist comments on a podcast, and a portion of the comedy audience effectively disavowed him and continues to do so as seen in the current blowback to his being offered a hosting gig.

That’s why the got Shane...he is one of the best in the game right now

One of the very best standups working today, number one on Patreon, Just got signed to Budweiser as their new spokesperson. Maybe stop only checking for whichever celebs/comedians are Twitter outrage machine approved.

Gillis is (outside of Chappelle, Louie and perhaps, sometimes, still Burr) easily the funniest and best stand up working today. His Trump is also absolutely amazing and much funnier than anything SNL have ever done with him. The idea Bowen and Sarah will have to throw a shit-fit every time someone more successful than…

(laugh) It sure is.

“It’s a wonderful restaurant!”

The top moment came when it was seamlessly tied into the over the top pimping of their Burger King product placement, with Weathers mentioning the free drink refills.
