Just watched the very funny ‘Rich Hall’s US Election Special’ on BBC TV from Montana. Probably filmed 2/3 weeks ago. The above named actress featuring largely. I know Rich used to be on SNL and Margot was involved in some scandal? but what would explain their emigration/paucity of work?  
BTW - Rich Hall is very well known in the Uk as is Greg Proops. Bill Hicks is still in his own league tho.  
Hey US dopers - do the right thing.

I don’t recall any scandall that Margot Kidder was involved with, except when it was discovered that she has a bipolar disorder. I seem to recall her missing for several days, and being found looking like a homeless person. I loved her in the superman movies.

As far as Rich Hall is concerned, he was never really known to be a good comedian except writing sniglets.

What an ace programme that was!

But I was a bit puzzled when Rich shot Mike Wilmot: why were all the rude words bleeped out? The rest of the show was riddled with unbleeped effs (which might surprise our American cousins, as it was on the ordinary, free-to-air BBC).
