One quibble: CK is really not “back.” He did a stand-up performance. In no way is his career on track after said performance. I think we’re at least a year away from him possibly making tentative steps back into regular stints in the public eye.

There’s actually some good stuff in that.

You seem really mad that some parts of culture aren’t so dismissive of women’s words anymore. When there are multiple different people all claiming the same behavior - stretched over a period of years - it’d be pretty dumb to think there wasn’t something amiss in the accused’s conduct.

Yeah she has some good ideas and I think her heart is in the right place.

Due process and rule of law are for courtrooms. Not for deciding how we consider figures in pop culture.

“Honestly, is PC life good? Fuck no. I hate that there are minefields that need navigating.”

He’s been a public figure and comedian for decades. He’s not Seinfeld, but MacDonald is a success in his chosen field.

If that was the extent of what he said, this might be okay. But the context in which Norm placed the “don’t automatically trust people” argument is very problematic (apologies for overused phrase).

He’s one of the funniest people in the world, but Norm MacDonald has always had a reactionary side. Here we get it in full display. I’m disappointed but not necessarily surprised.

A huge part of Norm’s appeal (before this article) is that he’s not the kind of public figure who has handlers to prevent this kind of interview.

The Wedding Singer also holds up.

I also felt that Countdown was underrated in that list.

Yeah he actually did a lot more than that.

Kyle MacLachlan. obviously.

Doesn’t just break it - compound fracture with the bone sticking out!

Well, if it’s only ONE girl!

The Larry Sanders episode where Reynolds - apparently Sanders’ other neighbor (Martin Mull must be on the opposite side) - takes over as guest host, before he’s weirded out by Hank, is another great showcase for the Bandit’s talents. He gets in a lot of good laughs with self-deprecating lines about his ‘94 divorce to…

“This is the best work I’ve ever done.”

Definitely would pick Boogie as Burt’s best onscreen work.

Exactly. Reynolds lost that Oscar (he was the front-runner until about a week beforehand IIRC) with his crappy attitude/behavior after the movie premiered.
