"Comedy is not pretty."

this season is Kate McKinnon. Now I just record the show and fast forward through everything but her parts.

Pete Davidson eviscerating Staten Island’s racist firefighters (his dad was one and died in WTC on 9/11 which was thought to be the cause of Pete’s drug problems) was equally awesome.

Tiffany Haddish last week was the best host in years

Rosie Shuster and Ann Beatts.

It was saved til Henry hosted. The tradition on the show is that he would agree to do anything the writers threw at it him, and he would end up with all the sketches the previous hosts turned down.

I question that thinking.

it was the character who I found creepy and whoever wrote the character, even if they were women, as suggested above, obviously fit it into the environment.

You wrote this:
"Buck Henry used to appear on a regular basis and I found him creepy; I always though he was a child molester. Perhaps not."

That's what I responded to.

He wrote the screenplay for The Graduate.

And you can't judge the 70's by today's standards either.

is not from the 70s. Obama Speechwriter "groping" Hillary cutout is from 2008.

As for this being the last post - several weeks ago I posted that by then the trickle of sexual harassment would bring Bill Clinton to the picture. These posts were alerted and removed. But, of course, we've had many more stories and they all stayed so never say never.

(Unless you are going to alert on this one).

I have seen old episodes of MASH and Wonder Woman lately, and I loved those shows back then, but I see them now and they make me cringe in parts because of misogyny and kind of rapey content - jokes or situations with questionable consent. I see this as a good sign really - our society is indeed evolving and becoming less unfriendly to women. There's still work to be done, obviously, but things seem to be at least somewhat better.

the day. But boy was the sexual inuendo, mild though it was, dated. And that was only in the 70s and early 80s.
