I guess I figured it was obvious (apparently not to everyone) that “cast” implied “cast, producers, writers, Lorne Michaels, everyone who runs the show” and who saw her during the week. If the host gets put in the straight role in every sketch, that says something about what the people running the show saw during the…

Always figured Lifehacker was a little better at staying outside of the outrage machine, but...flat out referring to Woody Allen as a “molester” with no qualifiers when those allegations (in fact, that one allegation) clearly have at least a fair amount going against them? Come on. At least don’t lump him in with…

My point is that the cast saw her all week. Based on their assessment, they chose to cordon her off into straight-woman roles where she wouldn’t have to do any comedic heavy lifting.

Point taken, but a) so many of these writers are such complete embarrassments that it’s hard to differentiate, and b) re: the Conde Nast thing, I think most of the writers on staff would have lapped that up without a second thought, at the encouragement of the editors. You don’t become a Gawker writer without being…

I stand corrected.

There’s a first time for everything. In this case, though, this was not the first time.

The comments—on all of these, frankly—were pretty one-sided in ripping the author, if I remember. I don’t think Gawker comments survived, though.

He was the one performing when the shooting started.

Yeah, I never got the over-the-top praise of her as WW. She was underwhelming in the cameo she made in Batman vs. Superman, and...fine in the standalone film, but not especially compelling. The fact that EVERY SINGLE REVIEW of Wonder Woman went out of its way to say how good she was seems...a little strange, to say…

Because he didn’t immediately invite them on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee to fix its “diversity problem.”

I think it started with the Comedians in Cars thing. Jerry made the terrible mistake of doing the first ten episodes with a group of guests that didn’t perfectly reflect the U.S. census, and then, in true monstrous fashion, did not immediately throw himself on his knees to beg forgiveness.

You mean a 21-year-old girl? That doesn’t make you a child molester.

Cleared by the team of medical professionals who investigated the claim (http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2014/02/woody-allen-dylan-farrow-sexual-abuse-secret-report-exonerated/)

It’s not that Gadot’s not funny, necessarily. I genuinely, on the basis of what she was given to do tonight, would have no way to know.

Now who’s stretching? Writing a movie about wanting to sleep with a girl in their late teens/early twenties is not wanting to touch a six-year-old for ten seconds or whatever it was.

I don’t know who “every other professional” is supposed to refer to, but in principle, I agree. When the story I’m supposed to believe is that someone who has never once been accused of anything remotely resembling an attraction to or abuse of children picks a moment when he’s separating from his long-time partner to g…

I mean...are you really gonna pretend that either of us has any real insight on what it really means that the guy running the team never spoke to her, compared to other people on the team? This is the other thing: people like a writer at Slate who have no specific knowledge of proceedings like this basically giving it…

Alright. It’s Saturday night, what else do I have to do.

There’s a long, detailed and fascinating account of the entire case at meatspin.com

I guess it’s hard not to sound callous talking about this, but there’s a reason that they don’t take accusations made by little children at face value, and her memories were deemed to have been unreliable when the case was investigated. Add in the fact that anything she said at the time would have been reinforced by…
