Yesterday, while watching Kids in the Hall reruns (bless you, Comedy Central!), Mr. Singular and I were trying to figure out the persuasion of each kid. When they first appeared on American TV, they were touted as the first gay comedy troupe, but I thought I had heard Dave Foley talking about a girlfriend in an interview. Obviously Scott Thompson is gay - the prison monologue yesterday was one of his best., But what about the others? Anybody have any info or speculations?
Just Scott.
Believe it or not, the rest are all straight (even though Dave does seem to get type cast in every movie he’s in lately).
But Dave does look the best as a woman.
Damn straight. He even wore drag for a Hallowe’en-party episode of NewsRadio and he looked great.
ahem… how about them Bears, huh?..
Yes, it’s just Scott. Or at least, Scott is the only one who is openly gay and rides that fact to boost his career. Can you imagine him being successful were he not gay?
I can’t imagine Scott Thompson being successful even with being gay. Just. Not. Funny.
He’s not my favorite, either. But he did do some great stuff on KitH.
I like Kids in the Hall, and I find it funny that my most recent boss looks just like Scott Thompson (and although he has not admittited to being gay, I would find it hard to believe that he’s not.)
Aw, hey, I love Scott. He’s my favorite one. I guess it’s the whole totally unattainable thing. And personally I like his female impersonations the best. But Bruce McCoullough’s little kid impersonations are the best, IMHO. “Did you hear about the guy…who invented Super-Glue…”
I liked Scott on The Larry Sanders Show
mmmmmm… Dave Foley.
Yeah, I always thought it oddly creepy that when in drag he looks almost exactly like Isabella Rossellini.
Ever since I made that connection, I can never watch Blue Velvet without expecting her to say “I was just thinking about Tony. Where he is, who is he with, what is he doing, is he thinking of me?”
Mark alwasy struck me as kinda fruity… They allude to it in some of the “Unscripted Lives” sketches but you never know.
Well maybe so and then again maybe not.
I also find Dave Foley rather fetching as a woman.
Years ago when their show was still running on HBO I read a bio about them and it said that along with Thompson being gay one other member was bi, maybe. It seems Bruce McCulloch is the only other one who’s never been married…
