Why the hell are you mad at immigrants seeking a better life and not the tiny percentage of greedy fucks hoarding the world's resources while we fight amongst ourselves for crumbs?
A white man whose name I did not catch demanded to know exactly why I don't support trump after my show last night.
I told him it was because he emboldens people like you into thinking I owe you an explanation on demand.
I don't.
Oh, no!
I'm so sorry to read this.
Charlie Robinson was one of the great ones.
My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, fans and all whose lives he touched.
Rest well, Charlie, I thought you'd live forever.
Dear whiny-assed comedians,
Audiences have ALWAYS been sensitive.
So, say what you mean, mean what you say, and choose your words carefully.
Then, let the chips fall where they may, or get the fuck off the stage.
Signed,

I'm always a bit unsettled by the current "political correctness/cancel culture is killing comedy" mantra.
Because the truth is, some comedy should be dead.
We should not ever return to the days of blackface minstrelsy, or the time when demeaning women was the norm...
Oh, no!
Aw man, I'm so sorry to hear this.
My condolences to his family, friends, fans and everyone who loved him.
Rest in peace, Harry the Hat, you were my friend.
For all the "Moms Mableys" and countless other performers who never got to live out loud onstage or off, I'm very grateful to "Night Court" for giving me the opportunity to be acknowledged with an article like this.
I'm so sorry to hear this.
To me, Spoon was a friend, a brother, a funny, talented comedian and a good man.
He was the first comedian I met when I got to Los Angeles, and he never...
Early yesterday morning, I got the news that Markie Post has passed away.
Out of respect for her family, I didn't want to say anything publicly until I saw it in the press.
But, I was shocked and devastated...
Oh, Roger, I will miss you, but I'll always cherish the fact that you are the last man I kissed in the mouth.
And, I got paid!!!
Rest easy now, my friend.
Brothers gon' work it out.
If "say it loud, I'm stupid and I'm proud" was a person, this would be he.
"Where’s the white history section?"
The entire rest of the fucking store, fool.
Please stop with the "whatabouts."
There is no equal oppression of white people. There is no such thing as reverse racism, and "both sides" doesn't apply to a system that oppresses everyone except one narrow group.
White men.
There is nothing wrong with Black people in this...
But, if we teach the truth about American History, "it will make white kids hate themselves," right, my fellow Americans?
Besides, "that stuff was sooooo long ago!"
Right?
Right?
Wassamatta, Kaepernick got your tongue?
Who the fuck is
@StevieWonder
supposed to be grateful to? For what? You should be grateful white supremacy exists, or you'd be homeless.
I, onthe other hand, am grateful for
@Twitter
and the ability to read so I can call you out on your bullshit.
Oh, no!
@JudyTenuta
was one of the first comedians I ever met when I started doing standup. We met the first time I went onstage.

for you.
...That being said, no subject is off limits or taboo simply because it makes some people uncomfortable.
However, comedy is an artform.
It's up to its artists to present their craft artfully.
We have a responsibility as well as the freedom to express it.
Controversy alone is...

@realDonaldTrump
If anyone knows if a president is a fuck up, it's another president. Duh. But to be so much of a fuck up that one of them says it out loud on the record is extraordinary. You'll understand life better after puberty. That goes for both of you.
@RonFilipkowski
Wtf is wrong with you fellas? Put those things away, go to your rooms, and think about what you've done until I tell you you can come out! And get your feet off the couch!!! Now, misters!
We never met in person, but I've always been an Irene Cara fan.
The closest we came to meeting was being friends on Facebook.
And, we did work on the same project, "D.C. Cab."
May her family, friends and fans find comfort in her memory, and may her legacy continue to inspire...
...not funny.
Case in point, some say you couldn't do "Night Court" today, but the truth is, you couldn't do it in 1984, either.
Nobody else could have done that show, or "Soap," or "All In the Family" but the people who did them.
And the fact remains that they are doing...
I hope Kamala dances into the convention in formation with Beyonce, Rihanna, Mary J., Janet and Cardi B., etc., singing "WAP."
Grab it?
Can't touch this.

...Night Court today.
It remains to be seen how it will be done and if it will be well received, but it is being done.
As a comedienne who has always said what she wants to say, I never thought I could just say any old thing and get laughs.
There are also laughs I don't want...
Bill Cosby is guilty, and I am ashamed. Of myself.
Back in the day, Dr. Cosby and I were represented by the same PR firm, different reps.
Anyway, they had a number of high level clients and for years we had a...
Dilbert dude says he's tired of helping Black people because Don Lemon says our neighborhoods suck.
Or, some such totally *not racist* stuff.
(Because nothing is racist to a racist, or they'd have to admit they're a racist. Caucasity 101)
...to get.
There are all kinds of jokes that would work well for someone else, but that I would never touch.
So, while I understand the current prevailing wailing and gnashing about "cancel culture," I'm just not sure many of the dynamics of making funny for money have...
Need to get your drink on at work?
Wanna sneak a little sumpin' sumpin' into your next restricted venue?
No worries!
And, you can ditch the flask!
People gon' be sucking these down like Tide pods!
I thought it was stupid for so many Americans to see Barack Obama as a "get out of racism free" card, and I think it's stupider to start any question with the premise...
Woman just asked me to stop following her if I continue to bash her president.
It never dawned on her to stop following me.
That pretty much says it all.
That other time I was fortunate enough to work with the legend who was Della Reese.
I was in total awe of her.
I also got to do an episode of "Touched By An Angel."
It was such an honor to work with this groundbreaking pioneer upon whose shoulders we all stand.
