    I don't watch or listen to any "comedian" who makes fun of people with problems or traits they can't help. That's cruelty, not humor (IMO). :cry:

    I have no use for any of them I don't find them the least bit funny. When Johnny did the Tonight Show for all those years he was always a great laugh and he didn't have to insult a group of people or use foul language and he'd have me almost in tears with laughter.

    I'm surprised at how society has accepted the use of foul language as just part of our every day culture. Only when they get sued or a celebrity calls them out do they ever apologize for something they said. Then I don't think it's even them apologizing for the comment, they're just reading it from the cue cards from the show.

    [quote=Sadiemae]I don't like the one who was accused of harassment either, but I can't remember his name.[
    His name is David Letterman. I don't watch either one of them.
    They are always cracked jokes at other people and they are both boring.
