A comedian was heckled over her jokes about Dylan Mulvaney not having top or bottom surgery after a year of 'girlhood' - before they stormed out screaming: '**** you transphobe.' Chrissie Mayr was performing at Hyena's Comedy Club in Dallas, Texas, in early May when she made a joke about the transgender influencer, 26, who has faced a huge backlash for her Days of Girlhood series and failing Bud Light campaign. Mayr's set continued to poke fun at the LGBT+ community, as she later described bisexuals as 'just fun at parties.' Throughout the video, Mayr showed the group of women...

Lucille Ball co-created the situation comedy genre through starring in I Love Lucy. Later on, she approved the initial production of Star Trek. Desilu Productions also created Mission:Impossible, The Untouchables and Mannix. ......... She really understood creativity. "The more things you do", she said, "the more things you can do." ....... In World War Two, when freedom was on the line, she didn't mind being a glamorous babe to help keep up the spirits of the guys in uniform risking their lives fighting against tyranny. No third wave feminist crap to weaken our culture in that era ....... "Women's lib?"...

Barry Humphries, the Tony-winning comic actor behind the snobbish diva Dame Edna Everage, died Saturday at a hospital in Syndey, Australia. The 89-year-old was being treated for complications following a hip replacement in February, but had brushed aside recent concerns about his condition and even made plans for a countrywide tour, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. “​He was completely himself until the very end, never losing his brilliant mind, his unique wit and generosity of spirit,” his family said in a statement on Saturday night.​ “​With over ​70 years on the stage, he was an entertainer to his core,...

“I’d like to talk seriously, just for a moment,” Steve Martin said on the April 22, 1978, episode of Saturday Night Live. His solemnity was only marginally undercut by the fact that he was draped in stereotypical ancient Egyptian garb, with a multicolored and architectural hat atop his head. Martin’s lecture arrived midway through the show, leaving plenty of time to put together what turned out to be one of the most popular and elaborately silly pieces had ever attempted on SNL. Standing in darkness, Martin went on to explain how the impossibly commercialized “Treasures of Tutankhamun” museum tour then...

Barry Humphries, the Australian comedian who for over 60 years played his character Dame Edna Everage on the stage and screen, has died at the age of 89. Humphries’ family announced his death Saturday at a Sydney hospital, where he had been due complications from a hip surgery he underwent in March; the comedian suffered a fall the previous month in his native Australia. “He was completely himself until the very end, never losing his brilliant mind, his unique wit and generosity of spirit,” a family statement said (via The Associated Press). ”With over 70 years on the stage, he...

The Chicago Police Department launched an investigation into how officers responded to violence that broke out late Saturday during a large gathering of young people in the city’s downtown tourism district. The investigation comes after a viral video showed a mob attacking a couple as they exited a Loop store and it follows allegations of police inaction.

SNIP “It’s kind of a sensitive topic, but after 9/11 I was shooting a movie called ‘Master of Disguise,’ ” he explained. “We took an appropriate time off and went back to shooting, and I was playing — if you’ve seen the movie, kids — the Turtle Man, with a bald cap and a weird thing on my lip and a big green shell outfit.” “I was in [the costume] all that day, and then they said, ‘We’re going to have a group prayer about 9/11,’ ” he continued. “And I couldn’t get the thing — I would’ve held everyone...

Global podcasting icon Joe Rogan’s new anti-cancel culture comedy club is creating a major buzz in the comedy world and far beyond. Since it opened in Austin, Texas, earlier this month, Comedy Mothership is already selling out shows, demonstrating that the venue’s dedication to feature previously canceled performers is attracting an audience of fans eager to embrace free expression. But the fact that comics even have to worry about seeing their careers quashed by those who hold opposing views or take offense to their jokes is a worrisome development in America. From coast to coast and everywhere in between, legions...

This movie subtly mocks the Commies back in 1961. If "Dr. Strangeglove" mocks the military Industrial complex, this film mocks a country other than America. A country that thankfully no longer exists.

I remember the first time I saw actress and comedienne Roseanne Barr perform her stand-up routine. It was on the gold standard of late night talk shows, “The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson.” Her appearances in 1985, which introduced Barr and her term “domestic goddess,” struck a cord with every day Americans just trying to live their lives and raise a family.The exposure Barr got from Carson’s support went a long way to snagging a sitcom deal for a show she wrote and created, “Roseanne.” The show, which started in 1988 and ran for nine seasons, went on to win...

Explanation: No, Comet ZTF is not going to hit Mars. Nicknamed the Green Comet for its bright green coma, C/2022 E3 (ZTF) did, however, pass almost in front of the much-more distant planet a few days ago, very near in time to when the featured picture was taken. The two sky icons were here captured behind a famous Earth icon -- the Matterhorn, a mountain in the Italian Alps with a picturesque peak. Both the foreground and background images were taken on the same evening by the same camera and from the same location. The comet's white dust tail is...

Roseanne Barr has a new comedy special, and true to her style, she holds nothing back. In a clip that has been shared on social media, she hits hard against cancel culture — an issue she has personal experience with. Barr faced accusations of racism over a tweet she made in 2018 about Barack Obama’s former White House advisor, Valerie Jarrett, prompting ABC to cancel the reboot of her sitcom, Roseanne. It is widely believed that ABC was looking for a reason to fire Barr because her title character in the show was a Trump supporter. After Barr was fired...

Roseanne Barr will make her return to stand up comedy after nearly 20 years away from the microphone as part of a new special that will stream on Fox Nation, Fox News’s streaming service. The hourlong special, titled “Cancel This!,” will be available to stream on Feb. 13, the Monday after the Super Bowl, after it was filmed in front of a live studio audience in Houston at the Cullen Theatre. Barr, a controversial personality in comedy and noted supporter of former President Trump, had her popular sitcom “Roseanne” canceled and rebranded “The Conners” in 2018 after she tweeted racist...

The generally agreed-upon rule of thumb for comedians who delve into dark comedy is to always try to be more funny and more clever than offensive – the darker you go, the more creative you get to justify tackling the sensitive subject matter. This past weekend, anti-vax comedy icon Jim Breuer bravely defied this simple standard by making the most sophomoric, obvious and distasteful dig on the cardiac arrest suffered by Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin during Monday Night Football on January 2nd. While performing on the “ReAwaken America Tour,” an event branded as a coming together of conservative Christians,...

Beloved Borscht Belt comic and actor Freddie Roman, best known for his roasts as part of New York City’s Friars Club and later Comedy Central, died at the age of 85 on Saturday, his family said.

For the Freeper who suggested "Hard to Be Humble" worked better for "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim". You were right.

Who voter for him and why? Please explain to me why did you vote for him? You got to be dumber than him to vote for him, and if you're dumber than him you probably shouldn't even be voting.
