Why are caping for a confessed serial harasser?

I’m not casting aspersions on people who go to see him. That’s not the right direction. And you’re right that we don’t know what he’s done in his downtime. From my personal POV, I wouldn’t consider RAINN donations a “bribe.” But you’re correct that many people would see it that way.

Good point. Though I’m a bit dubious that he wasn’t aware of the power dynamic.

This is good news.

Yeah I think you’re correct on this. The fact that the Comedy Cellar now has him on their official bills is disconcerting, though.

I simply didn’t believe the rumors because I didn’t realize this was a thing people at CK’s level actually did. If the rumors were that he was a secret groper, I would have had an easier time finding it plausible. Tricking women into watching you masturbate just sounded too stupid to be the horrible secret behind…

Yeah this is the proper response if he’s going to be officially on bills now. He hasn’t done anything to earn his comeback. If people want to pay to see him, that’s their prerogative. But there should be expected push back.

Yeah this is clearly a deep-seated impulse within him that he cannot control. I’ve wondered multiple times if he needs serious psychological help.

He’s got major sexual hangups and is into - simultaneously - humiliating himself and others with his self-loathing. Very funny guy, but also clearly more than a bit sick.

She was uncomfortable from the first time he did it, but he was her boss. Clearly crossing a major ethical line.

Not even close to an apology. You should pay better attention.

Not really.

Your last sentence is superfluous. Stay focused.

CK said that the fact that he asked them helped him rationalize his behavior. Totally eliding over the fact that the power dynamic made “no” very hard to say, and it also sounds that if they said anything other than “no” - i.e. “what?” - he’d go ahead and do it.

Kind of?

Wrong.

That’s a stupid way to look at it. You’re part of the problem.

It’s the weird friend’s fault, not Silverman’s. You clearly don’t want to understand this.

I can see that. Nonetheless, I also like the Rock Camp episode. “My image!”

He didn’t write more than 10 episodes so he’s not on the list, but I wonder what Conan O’Brien’s score would be on this graph. Every episode he penned is a classic.
