TV Line is reporting that Eddie Murphy’s visit on SNL was the highest rated show in 11 years.
I had always heard that it was an SNL staple of writers changing the dialog up until the last minute and often times what airs is sometimes being seen by the actors for the first time on the cue cards.
Poor Tim Meadows. So much quality comedic work, and everyone goes “Hey, remember when Don Cheadle used to be on SNL?”.
“…but you screw one goat…”
Fun fact: Bill has an actual earned doctorate (an Ed.D, not a Ph.D). I just like to mention that, although I suspect UM-Amherst would now rather that people didn’t.
As my sister puts it, I had one of life’s little ha-ha’s today. I talked with a person who told me her father worked with Cosby, and he was the most prejudiced person he ever met. According to him, Cosby hated all whites, Jews, women, and every one else that wasn’t Cosby.
I cannot swear it’s the truth, but it certainly sounds plausible.
“Actual earned?” Yeah, I’m not so sure he didn’t get some serious concessions along the way.
I used to work in Western Mass, and knew many people who had done work for him or knew him for one reason or another. Nobody had a nice word to say about the guy. This was long before any of the rape reports went public.
Well, it’s helpful to literally have your own children’s television show designed to convey educational content on a national network when one is writing a dissertation on the use of that television show to convey educational content (*Fat Albert, *in this case, although Cosby had previously been on *The Electric Company *as well). I’m sure he did the work but he had a lot of ready-made material to hand (some of which may have been provided to the show by other educational psychologists). He certainly didn’t have to start from scratch.
I was drinking in a bar in Vegas with a limo driver, and he said Cosby was the biggest asshole of all the celebrities he has ever driven for. Treated anyone who waited on him or worked for him like crap.
That’s not what I meant. I meant granting him things like credits for “life experience” in lieu of taking classes. And I don’t know why you’re “sure he did the work” himself. I could go on, but this thread isn’t about that rapist motherfucker.
