He was well-connected with insiders setting up interviews, meeting with stars, etc. The best way to avoid any comeuppance in that regard is to have a full blown rebirth, especially given the immense wealth he’s accumulated over the decades. Maybe Harris is going to ask him about all that. He was not on the inside. Until maybe 97-98 he was hated. When he got the new PR woman in the early 10's he became mainstream. Jimmy kimmel, Zach braff, and others brought him to Hollywood.

His friendship/partnership with Robin Quivers doesn't happen if he were a racist. I just think he used that to do/say racist things and get away with it because of Robin's tacit approval.

"Racism" can be funny when it's produced right to mock and belittle the act of it. To be outright racist and behave as it is not. If Chapelle can mock white folks than Stern can mock the black folks. Humor doesn't have to be funny for everyone. But, by George, ya gotta laugh sometimes. 1 1
BillsFanNC Posted October 8 Author Posted October 8 The comedian angle does not apply. Again you must force the left play by their own insane rules. See Barr, Roseanne. If Stern were a Trump supporter he'd have been canceled and ruined long ago. 1 3
BillsFanNC Posted October 8 Author Posted October 8 Not a leftist and discuss blackface as part of a costume? Fired. Leftist who actually has worn blackface while using the n word? You get an extremely rare interview with the first black female VP. 1

Jimmy kimmel, Zach braff, and others brought him to Hollywood. 1997 was nearly 3 decades ago, and he’s been a major player since well before that. I’m not certain what you characterize as “hated”, but he was a very successful media personality and just based on his style, it’s highly likely his people were digging for dirt, angles and controversial material his entire career. I started listening to him in 1985ish, and understand your point on his version of comedy. However, given his rage at people he disagrees with now, and his declarations on what he hopes happens to them, it’s also fair to view his past bits and wonder what level of animus, condescension racism/sexism/homophobia played a part in all that. Either way, his past actions are what he brings to the table, and it’s always sort of cringey when a person sees the light long after their behavior has earned them a few hundred mill. 3 2

Massive cancel campaign resulted and he was attacked on stage by a lunatic. What saved Chapelle was his steadfast refusal to give in and apologize to the woke mob. 2

His rage at others who mailed it in began his downward spiral for me. He's worse than Imus now. His rants about politics always were funny until he started attacking his audience. I could laugh at him making fun of Bush, Clinton... But then Obama happened. He stopped joking about it. 2 1
K D Posted October 8 Posted October 8 Imagine running for president and avoiding all interviews but then realizing you need to do some so at the last min you do a sex podcast and Howard Stern 😂 2 1
Irv Posted October 8 Posted October 8 This is the guy who will interview Cumala. What a mess. Butt Bongo Fiesta 1

He said at one point “Blind faith in your government can get you killed…”. There was a tremendous applause as the gathered masses—cons, lib, agnostic—-recognized the truth of that statement. Years later, he goes full throated supporter of a political party, an aging kazillionaire aligning with government that suits his agenda. He was right the first time. 1 5

Wacka Posted October 8 Posted October 8 Cameltoe fits right in with some of the people he had on years ago. Crackhead Bob, Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf, High Pitch Eric, etc. 1

I see that statement and think he's been a Dem shill the whole time. The 80's version was more calculating and hidden in his motives (but hated Reagan for sure). Today's version has to announce his fealty to the Party to stay relevant. He's just a businessman at the core of his being, music is secondary. Edited October 8 by ScotSHO

Good God that's dark, but you may be correct. 1
