  1. She totally paved the way for Iliza Shlesinger and Amy Shumer. Maybe looking like Richard Moll is sexy in some circles.

     

    Speaking of Night Court and female standups, the fact that Marsha Warfield at one point was semi-attractive on the Richard Pryor Show scares me a little. I'm glad that was way before my time. Because when she made it big, she did not look this:

     

  2. Didn't they want Burkman to fight the Palhares/Fitch winner?  And Burkman was trying to get released from the promotion after his last fight.

     

    That's right from what I've seen and you could change "was" to "is".

  3. When Burr's last hour came out, I watched all of his specials back-to-back-to-back. Not a single drop in quality in all. His last two are easily my favorite recent ones (meaning in the last five years or so) alongside Elephant in the Room, Animal Furnace, Your Way Ain't Working, and Happy Thoughts. I liked Hannibal's last one but Animal Furnace was a bit stronger. The boxing bit, however, is fucking spot-on and great. Still need to catch on Patton and Louie. I wish they (Comedy Central) would fucking give Roy Wood Jr. his half hour already, and give Maronzio a full hour after Angry Smiler.

     

    If you like Burr, you should listen to the first episode of the Uninformed Podcast he did with Joe Derosa. Absolutely hilarious mess with zero radio format.

     

    Apparently, they're bringing back Last Comic Standing with Wanda Sykes at the helm. That might be a tragedy in the making in regard to the talent they find.

     

    Also, I miss Giraldo too.

  4. Aaaaaand someone on Sherdog posted Shields/Fitch would good.

     

    I saw it on Twitter like 5 seconds after Botter broke it. People are fascinated by this, but whatever. If Palhares fights Fitch in the summer, Shields is going to get a tuneup since WSOF has virtually no one else worth giving a shit about. He might fight Burkman, but that would be too risky. Plus, WSOF seems to not give a shit about even matchups.

  5. The nerdy bald guy Doug Sparks stole the Mac from Always Sunny "cultivating mass" line. You would think that Dana would appreciate the cross promotion, but nope. As soon as he got beat, he got buried like a WCW Saturday Night jobber. 

  6. I doubt he would pulled that stunt in the Las Vegas version. He can only get away with that behavior because the fighters from both teams are like, "well, that's Wanderlei." If he had mostly Americans on his team, all the fighters would have turned against him. Chael is actually doing a good job coaching during the training sessions and passes on good technical information. But his fighters just stink outright. So that gives the illusion that Wanderlei is a better coach.

  8. Jae put this thread back on track. Great post. The Joffrey/Tyrion confrontation was glorious. Edge of my seat kind of stuff. I was half-expecting him to trot out Tyrion's "whore" and hang her in the street or something but what we got was a million billion times better...  In a weird way I will miss Joffrey but his demise was so awesome.

     

    I honestly thought Shae was about to be put on display like those kids leading to Meereen.

  9.  

    What's humorous is that whole nasty explosion was triggered by a conversation between J.T. and myself which featured NO ACTUAL SPOILERS.

     

    There wasn't anything worth getting angry about with that, but just a few pages before someone was all like.. "If you look at the lingering camera at ______ moment it will all be revealed!"   Which is just horrible because that is NOT how you are supposed to figure that stuff out you know?

     

     

    Notice how I didn't lose my shit when it was posted. I just simply replied "Nope."

  10. I can see where FSW is coming from (sadly), but things like the whole inheritance of the throne can be tricky. First off, I had no fucking idea they recasted Cersei's other son because I wasn't paying attention to the character. However, it should be implied that Tommen would be the next in line. Now anything significant after that I would consider trying to nudge someone into a direction. I felt no one did that in the Unsullied thread. Would I like to be completely surprised by what kind of king Tommen would be? Yeah. Does it bother me that someone said he isn't as bad as Joffrey? Not really.
