Somebody catch me up to speed?

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He used to be on "the man show" where they had a segment, or during the credits, women in bikinis jumping on trampolines.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

But what's bad about that, bouncing titties are bad now? Did the women somehow not know that that's what they were agreeing to?

[–] TheJesusaurus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 hours ago

It's just ironic

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

No but acting like it is is straw feminist crap.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It's not bad, I was just filling in the person above about what he used to do.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 101 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Funny none of those girls made claims against them. No, he raped me or walked in on us.

Now lets hear about Trump near women.

Well, I'll tell you the funniest is that before a show, I'll go backstage and everyone's getting dressed, and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere, and I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it. You know, I'm inspecting because I want to make sure that everything is good. [...] You know, the dresses. 'Is everyone okay?' You know, they're standing there with no clothes. 'Is everybody okay?' And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that. But no, I've been very good. -Trump

One incident reportedly occurred in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant. Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA, recalled, "I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, 'Oh my god, there's a man in here'." She then remembered Trump saying, "Don't worry, ladies, I've seen it all before." Four other women also alleged that Trump entered the dressing room; eleven contestants that Buzzfeed reached said they did not recall him in the dressing room.

That doesn't mean he wasn't there.

My point exactly.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 22 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I'm CERTAIN I heard some claims from them but I can't say it was against Jimmy.

Also, girls jumping on trampolines was a presumably consensual trade of services for currency so it's only problematic to liberals and when the phrase "under capitalism" becomes involved

[–] TheJesusaurus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 hours ago

I mean libs suck but exploitation of women also sucks. In this case probably yeah these were likely women with wider careers and other options who largely chose to do this of their own free will.

But only about as much as I do my job "of my own free will"

Needing to eat and have a home somewhat imbalances the power dynamic between you and your boss

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pretty sure that's problematic to conservative Christians?

Who cares what the bots think?

She said he was very gentle.

She says that about everybody.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Which is weird because’s she’s SUPER into BDSM, like hardcore BDSM.

what a wonderful jimmy claim

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 70 points 2 days ago (4 children)

The man show got cancelled because Joe Rogan and Doug Stanhope aren't funny and the show ran out of material after the first season

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 2 days ago (2 children)

So fucking weird all these guys are still relevant.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you have friends in the business they'll just keep putting you into shows. Rogan reinvented himself half a dozen times, taking whatever work he could get just to stay on TV.

Same story with Howie Mandel and Drew Carey. Producers look for a name/face people recognize and these dinosaurs keep getting more work.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

rogan did fear factor, newsradio (is that the show?) and ufc. i dont think hes a good example of someone who took whatever work. he got lucky his podcast exploded and thats why hes still relevant

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

His filmography is a bit longer than that. The man has three different pro-drugs documentaries, for instance.

he got lucky his podcast exploded

He kept getting shots and he kept taking them. The man was a magnet for Hollywood investment cash. He was already a mega-millionaire before the Spotify deal.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

yeah he was thats why he was able to just do his podcast he didnt need to worry about money. fear factor was his big bucks

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Is Stanhope still a thing? I haven't heard his name in years

[–] jonesey71@lemmus.org 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was going to reply something about how he isn't relevant because he has been dead for like a decade but I googled him to get the exact date correct first and I was shocked to find out he is still alive.

[–] defuse959@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 15 hours ago

Just saw him on tour last week and it was great.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago

Yes ,he's a "comedian's comedian" still.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Adam Carolla was hosting it tho

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Ugh Adam Carolla. That guy was against giving kids free lunches.

It was the first time I saw someone so loudly against feeding kids.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

Hes kind of a slimeball

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

oh I quite liked Stanhope. am i cancelled?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Same here. Love Doug. He put out a new full show on his channel recently that's pretty great. Was he even on The Man Show? I did watch it occasionally back in the day when I had cable, but don't recall him being on it. I do remember being baffled that Kimmel got a late night TV show gig after doing that show though. He wasn't all that good.

Rogan can fuck off though.

[–] dermanus@lemmy.ca 2 points 15 hours ago

He was involved for sure. One of the segments was his mom reviewing porn.

I couldn't remember what they called him just that he could just throwback a stein in one go.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

The first two seasons were. That third season they pivoted from satire to genuine trash. Hoo boy.

[–] salty_chief@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Jimmy Kimmel has always portrayed himself as a dirt bag. I don’t understand how he made it on TV.

[–] sartalon@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This show is the reason I have always dislike him.

He was kind of funny on "Win Ben Stein's Money", so I initially looked forward to this show.

But then I watched it and it kind of pissed me off. Like, is this what a "man" is supposed to be? A sexist douchebag with a terrible sense of humor.

It was a TERRIBLE show. Glorified womanizing and binge drinking.

Despite what he says now, that was who he was. He shouldn't have had a career after that.

But he's just a talking head. He doesn't write his material, he just reads teleprompters and has celebrity friends.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

The Man Show really turned me off to him, and I ignored his late night show for a long time. Then I started watching him when his son was having medical issues, and he started talking about the health insurance problems in America, and I realized he was a decent man with similar views to mine.

Actors/ Entertainers have to scratch & claw at the beginning of their careers, and it's hard to walk away from a regular paycheck. The experience he got on that awful show allowed him to do a great job on a really good show, so perhaps it was worth it.

I'm sure he cringes at Mab Show memories, too.

Yeah I never understood how he became the host of a late night show? He always exuded sidekick energy. Just a chubby dumpy looking guy whose there to make the host look good .

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You can't base your opinions of people by the performances you see. Or you will constantly be surprised like you are right now. Entertainment is all lies. Everyone is fake and just trying to get a paycheck when they start out on screen.

Also people do change and do learn from the things they did in the past, not everyone, and much less when you after a fundie trad biggot, but ~~effect and if~~ even some of them do actually become reasonable people.

But you will never know the person Jimmy Kimmel is unless you are someone who gets to regularly see him when the cameras aren't on.

That's a lesson entirely too many people need to learn. You don't know shit about even some of the people closest to you, why would you think you know a good damned thing about some person that's always in front of a camera?

Go ask a grand parent, an auntie or uncle, a parent, your best friend, your favourite teacher, what was the worst thing they ever did to someone else?

You probably don't know what they would say, and they probably won't tell you

Edit: sorry for the rant, it's not specifically just for you but I kinda went off. This isn't meant as a personal attack, more of a rhetorical rant prompted by your comment. My apologies if I've offended you

[–] bort@piefed.world 14 points 2 days ago

I’m must have been because of the blackface then, right?
