Kinmel losing a game of basketball to Ted loving Cruz is grosser than anything he ever did on The Man Show or whatever.

I love how he put that sack of poo poo on TV because it was for charity. How about you just donate the loving money without trying to humanize a despicable gently caress like Ted Cruz? All this does is prove that Kimmel has WAY more in common with that guy than anyone who watches his show because they're both rich as hell and that's all that matters.

Did Adam Corolla do anything other than have lovely opinions and work in a show that hasn’t aged well? Cause comparing that to the grooming and sexual exploitation of a minor is some pretty hosed goon brain logic.

Likewise for Kimmel. Dude was on a show that in retrospect promoted some awful viewpoints because they thought satire was a bulletproof vest. Since then the dude has worked worked, built a pretty popular late night show from scratch, and used his spotlight and personal life to shine the light in our awful and hosed up healthcare system.

I don’t honestly give a poo poo about either of them, and you can hate them all you want, but honestly if you’re sitting around waiting for threads about sexual assault just so you can run in and compare B list celebrities you don’t like to sexual predators, you need a hobby and therapy ASAP.

No one was directly comparing them, Kimmel and Corolla are just a side thread to the conversation. AKAIK Corolla or Kimmel aren’t tied to any kiddie stuff, one is just an rear end in a top hat and the other at least has some redeeming qualities and has matured somewhat. Sanz should be in prison.

Fair point, and yeah Corolla is really lovely towards people, and yes he loves to write erotic fan fiction about the time he worked in construction for 4 months and how that makes him a "real man". Still, it's a thread about an accused sexual abuser and people going out of their way to bring up their laundry list of other people they don't like in that context seems a bit off to me. It's like if you found out that a friend was accused of murdering someone, and your response to someone telling you was "oh yeah that's awful. Also Keith was really rude to me the other day". It might be true, but wtfuck man?

I probably need more coffee though. Carry on tearing down hollywood elites gbs.

I mean besides ending every show with girls on trampolines and having the "Juggy Dance Squad" there was poo poo like this:

quote:

Kimmel would appear in blackface make-up while wearing a bald cap and body suit, filmed at an angle which made it look like Kimmel (who is much shorter in real life than Malone) was very tall, and dole out advice on subjects such as history, health, and China. The impression pokes fun at Malone's well-known inarticulacy, and Kimmel's impression strongly implied that Malone was stupid, reliant on having the "Jamz" star player repeat himself constantly, refer to himself in the third person, speak in an odd Southern accent, and throw in a large number of double negatives.

Also loving hell I never realized Joe Rogan took over hosting after Kimmel and Corolla left.

:stonk: Oh my loving god. I mean, even as a young (female, fwiw) teenager, even just from the promos, I thought the concept of a "man show" was repugnant and stupid, but I never really got all the details until now.

Yeah and he predictably made it somehow worse

There's a very old interview with Rogan where he talks about what happened when he took over as host. Apparently the producers were absolute scumbags, and Carolla/Kimmel were the ones keeping the show only mildly skeevy during their time as hosts. Carolla and Kimmel insisted on the goofy polka music and beer mug vibe, with the "Juggies" going for a happy-bar-maid look. So as soon as they were out, the producers ditched the polka for rock music and had all the Juggies just be straight-up strippers.

Between having show producers like that, running essentially non-stop Girls Gone Wild infomercials during their overnight slots, and all of the rumors about how lovely Sumner Redstone was, I can't imagine how awful things were behind-the-scenes of Comedy Central back then.

I thought the Porn Summer Camp bit was pretty funny, mainly because it was self-depricating. It was something I watched in college, and I admit that the Karl Malone stuff didn't really register in my 18-year-old mind.

I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I mean it's almost as if you apologize and you seem to actually mean it, instead of doubling and tripling down, people tend to forget and move on. :thunk:

Even at its very, very best moments the show walked a razor thin line between "goofy manchild" and "holy gently caress a lot of people signed off on this thinking it was ok."

I choose to imagine literally every content meeting about the show was like this:
