She isn’t Armenian. Her biological parents are Kris Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner, who are some combination of English, Scottish, Irish, Dutch, Welsh, and German.

Money kan’t buy you klass.
You know what is distinguishable? A corporate hack who is in public relations versus a professional comedian. Guess which one gets to crack AIDS jokes in public without professional repercussions? I’ll give you a hint, it’s not the one who is ostensibly in charge of curating people’s images.
It was a “mockery of bigoted and uncultured attitudes” that was indistinguishable from an honest expression of bigoted and uncultured attitudes. Posted by a woman whose job was to help people maintain positive public images. Of course she got fired.
Comedy legends like Richard Pryor would’ve had a lot harder time being successful today, and that’s a fact.

Maron showing yet again that he gets it. It’s good to see that from someone who is not only middle aged, but doing excellent work on GLOW and with his podcast.
“There’s a reason Phoebe Waller-Bridge just took home an armful of Emmys.”
Sorry not enough people thought your trans panic jokes were funny, Todd. I hear giant piles of money are good for wiping up tears.
There’s something really ironic about people who want to make edgy, provocative comedy and expect mainstream success and undivided acclaim for it.
Are you telling me that the director of Starsky and Hutch isn't a visionary?!
