Bob Newhart, a legendary comedian, has passed away at the age of 94. This news has hit me hard, as he was truly one of the greats in the world of comedy. His ability to deliver deadpan humor with impeccable timing was truly unmatched. I find myself reminiscing about the countless times I laughed out loud while watching him on TV with my family. His unique style and clever wit always managed to bring a smile to my face, even on the darkest of days.
One of my fondest memories of Bob Newhart is from his appearance on Johnny Carson’s show, where he hilariously talked about a man who just returned from Mars.… Continue reading
As a fan of comedy and music, the recent news about the postponement of Tenacious D’s Australian tour date due to a comment made by Kyle Gass about Trump shooting has sparked a range of thoughts and emotions within me. The incident occurred during a birthday celebration for Gass, where he jokingly mentioned not missing Trump next time after a recent incident at Trump’s rally. The comment was met with mixed reactions, with some defending it as comedy and others criticizing it as inappropriate.
It’s interesting to see how this incident has escalated, leading to the postponement of not only their Australian tour but also their US tour dates.… Continue reading
Donald Sutherland, a legendary actor with an illustrious career spanning decades, has passed away at the age of 88. His presence in the world of cinema was truly iconic, leaving behind a legacy that will forever be remembered.

One of the first films that introduced me to Sutherland was Kelly’s Heroes, where he played a WWII hippie with an unforgettable catchphrase, “Stop with dem negative waves!”… Continue reading
George Carlin Estate Sues Over Fake Comedy Special Purportedly Generated by AI
As I read about the George Carlin estate suing over a fake comedy special purportedly generated by AI, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. On one hand, I couldn’t deny the classlessness of ripping off a dead comedian and his family. It’s truly a lawsuit waiting to happen, as AI seems to be invading every realm of our daily lives and threatening to ruin everything.
The problem, as I see it, is not just that they used George Carlin’s name without permission, which would be a trademark issue in itself.… Continue reading
The dude needed to start the process of gradually stepping back 10 years ago.
He’s not only holding the show back creatively and driving it into the ground by pandering to audiences that can’t carry the show anymore, but he’s also been excused of fostering an inexcusably toxic work environment. The dude dragged his feet for decades before begrudgingly embracing female comics, dragged his feet before begrudgingly accepting black comments,dragged his feet before begrudgingly accepting the demand from his favorite staff member that he hire more black women, demanded that they be nice to presidsnt Trump, pandered to racists by hiring a known racist comic (people in the scene as him said there’s literally no way anyone who did the bare minimum of research didn’t figure out what he was about), and has actively pushed the show to mediocrity when there’s talent
People like Tim Robinson and Zach Galifianakis make sense, because their writing is a bit too absurd and niche for the show.… Continue reading
