The Man Show was a left wing attack on incels.

“Poor people get all the breaks. It’s not fair.”

The Man Show really turned me off to him, and I ignored his late night show for a long time. Then I started watching him when his son was having medical issues, and he started talking about the health insurance problems in America, and I realized he was a decent man with similar views to mine.

Actors/ Entertainers have to scratch & claw at the beginning of their careers, and it’s hard to walk away from a regular paycheck. The experience he got on that awful show allowed him to do a great job on a really good show, so perhaps it was worth it.

I’m sure he cringes at Mab Show memories, too.

My point exactly.

You may be right.

I only have time for one show though, and for now, that is Colbert.

I do think what happened to JK is beyond fucked up and it is just another peg on my radicalization meter.

But Colbert got fired so what’s your show now?

You can’t base your opinions of people by the performances you see. Or you will constantly be surprised like you are right now. Entertainment is all lies. Everyone is fake and just trying to get a paycheck when they start out on screen.

Also people do change and do learn from the things they did in the past, not everyone, and much less when you after a fundie trad biggot, but effect and if even some of them do actually become reasonable people.

But you will never know the person Jimmy Kimmel is unless you are someone who gets to regularly see him when the cameras aren’t on.

That’s a lesson entirely too many people need to learn. You don’t know shit about even some of the people closest to you, why would you think you know a good damned thing about some person that’s always in front of a camera?

Go ask a grand parent, an auntie or uncle, a parent, your best friend, your favourite teacher, what was the worst thing they ever did to someone else?

You probably don’t know what they would say, and they probably won’t tell you

Edit: sorry for the rant, it’s not specifically just for you but I kinda went off. This isn’t meant as a personal attack, more of a rhetorical rant prompted by your comment. My apologies if I’ve offended you

Who cares what the bots think?

If you have friends in the business they’ll just keep putting you into shows. Rogan reinvented himself half a dozen times, taking whatever work he could get just to stay on TV.

Same story with Howie Mandel and Drew Carey. Producers look for a name/face people recognize and these dinosaurs keep getting more work.

He’s still on. He is just not getting his contract renewed.

Somebody catch me up to speed?

rogan did fear factor, newsradio (is that the show?) and ufc. i dont think hes a good example of someone who took whatever work. he got lucky his podcast exploded and thats why hes still relevant

He used to be on “the man show” where they had a segment, or during the credits, women in bikinis jumping on trampolines.

But what’s bad about that, bouncing titties are bad now? Did the women somehow not know that that’s what they were agreeing to?

It’s not bad, I was just filling in the person above about what he used to do.

His filmography is a bit longer than that. The man has three different pro-drugs documentaries, for instance.

he got lucky his podcast exploded

He kept getting shots and he kept taking them. The man was a magnet for Hollywood investment cash. He was already a mega-millionaire before the Spotify deal.

yeah he was thats why he was able to just do his podcast he didnt need to worry about money. fear factor was his big bucks

Just saw him on tour last week and it was great.

No but acting like it is is straw feminist crap.

It’s just ironic

I mean libs suck but exploitation of women also sucks. In this case probably yeah these were likely women with wider careers and other options who largely chose to do this of their own free will.

But only about as much as I do my job “of my own free will”

Needing to eat and have a home somewhat imbalances the power dynamic between you and your boss
