I'm a big fan of her comedy it has changed over the years but I think she still has it. She runs around with Stanhope so maybe I'm biased but, when he put her on, she killed! Her personality is another thing, and the fact that she is an avid Trump supporter just boggles my mind!

I liked Roseanne in her early years of doing standup and even the first few seasons of her show.  I will admit out loud that I like early standup by Bill Cosby.  I remember hearing some of his stuff being done in speech contests when I was in high school.  It's a challenge for me to try to get on board with saying that I suddenly hate everything someone did decades ago.  With Cosby I agree that he should have consequences for his past actions but that doesn't make his some of his skits suddenly unfunny.

If someone unearthed some awful things about George Carlin I would not be scrambling to burn his standup CDs or his books in effigy.

Fun fact: one of my favourite films of all time was not only written and directed by a man who is confirmed to have raped at least one girl of 13, well, just watch this selection of clips:



Doesn't make the movie any less powerful. And yet, it becomes mind-boggling that he made the same thing that it's heavily implied to have happened to the heroine to another real-world "nymphet," and yet made a movie dwelling on the lasting consequences of that same crime at a time when almost nobody was talking about it, one that still retains its power 55 years later.
