It was just piggybacking on the insane popularity of the show during the mid-90s and Howard's recent publishing of Private Parts. It was a very "Jackie" thing to do.

Just Gary. John was approached multiple times for one but Howard never gave the OK and rightfully so even though you know the book would be juicy. e: totally forgot about Artie. Crotch Bat fucked around with this message at 04:00 on Dec 12, 2014 |

If he hadn't somehow managed to fall rear end backwards into the Leno gig, I bet we would've gotten one hell of a scathing "gently caress it I need money" tell all once he quit the show/got fired. Actually I'm surprised Jackie never tried that. Probably because he knew Howard would completely bury him with poo poo he normally wouldn't mention on air. haljordan fucked around with this message at 03:52 on Dec 12, 2014 |

I'm trying to suffer through Artie's latest special. It's depressing how stand up comedy is like the least funny vehicle for him.

Artie on Queer Eye was probably the most painfully sad thing in the history of the show, worse even than the remake of Homocop.

I got to some stories that were mildly amusing at best but not quite crafted jokes. All interspersed with him reading tweets and doing impressions. It's stuck on pause because I'm dreading that he's going to start taking out puppets or props.

Ether Frenzy posted:Artie on Queer Eye was probably the most painfully sad thing in the history of the show, worse even than the remake of Homocop. I actually love that segment, but only because it features a great call from a guy who completely excoriates not just Artie for being a completely homophobic dickwad but also Howard for constantly enabling Artie and letting him spew his hate speech (while simultaneously railing against the Pope for his stance on homosexuality). It's featured in one of the Todd Packer Artie packs, lemme see if I can find it. The caller was completely spot on, pretty much no one jumps in to defend Artie. edit: Found it, start listening at around the 42 minute mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQrFs92TKMo haljordan fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Dec 12, 2014 |

I'll be honest and say I've heard about 5 minutes of Artie's standup and I had to stop it. It's weird to be so mediocre at that and so amazing on the show. He was the perfect replacement and both Howard and Artie lucked into each other. There are some other funny comedians who were big fans of the show but I'm not sure they had the willingness to ruin themselves for the show like Artie. Artie was open about so much and he knew that was ultimately the key to success for him on the show. He was funny but so are a lot of other people but he brought it every time when it came to telling low-life stories about the weird and wild poo poo in his life as a working class junkie. Artie's stuff hit harder than Jackie because it was so much more real. Jackie offered up a lot but he didn't give a gently caress. Howard and the gang's opinion of him mattered for squat so he was unassailable in that aspect so he just gave stuff up to goof on because he knew it was good for the show.

Jackie was the best because someone would bring up something completely ridiculous Jackie did (usually while bombed) and he would deny the poo poo out of it for like ten minutes and then just admit that everything that was being said was true.

He was kept close to Jackie and Fred because they wrote for him. Other than that there's just no space in that tiny studio, I don't think they did it to be dicks. There's just nowhere to put him that kept him in arm's length of the writers and their paper and unlike now where Benjy writes a joke and puts it under a monitor for Howard to see, that simply wasn't a thing back then.

I laughed out lout (in the middle of my office, at work  ) at "These are the top 10 records to listen to while making top 10 lists."EDIT: The fact that Gary was MORE upset at Robin laughing that Howard (repeatedly) saying something like "You're a loving weirdo with these lists!" makes no sense to me.

Last weekend we were pretty drunk and decided to replicate the legendary Richard Christy Buffet Call (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOB4j3D_mD0) and it is amazing that every single Golden Corral will react the exact same. I guess they aren't allowed to tell you to gently caress off. It worked every loving time, no joke. We called grocery stores (do you have carrots, good, onions, good), chinese buffets, pizza places, auto zone, etc. The only business that told us to gently caress off was an asian grocery store. I couldn't believe it.

I have a massive collection of Richard and Sal prank calls but there's one I cannot find for the life of me. They call up tradio, and its like "Hi, I'm auctioning off a $20 bill, opening bid at $25, please", and the host keeps going "Why would someone pay $25 for a $20 bill?" and then they keep asking the host if HE wants to buy it. Anyone know the clip?

When I moved to Saskatoon a couple years ago, I was laughing my rear end off when listening to the local radio at a family member's place because a Swap Shop/Tradio was on the radio. It was impossible to listen to if not only for reminiscing about the Sal/Richard calls.

I do enjoy listening to interviews on old shows where some young tosser has just got married and then googling them to see how that went. Was listening to december 16th 2008 today, with that dipshit pete wentz who had just had a kid with ashlee simpson and he was spasticly rambling on about how great it was and how much he loved her etc etc etc. I thought no way that lasted with those 2 retards, a quick google away divorced in 2011. Its a fun game. e: to be fair pete seems like a nice man he is just a bit ... dopey Seaside Loafer fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Dec 14, 2014 |

Whoever ghost tweets for Sheik is amazing. It's so hilariously inappropriate and you read everything in Sheik's voice so just you see "SETH GREEN INTELLIGENT JEW" and start laughing hysterically in the grocery store while your girlfriend tries to pretend she's not actually there with you.
