Dude started believing his own bullshit, is the problem.
Very good indeed, a lifer who's been creatively invigorated by the exposure he's been getting of late.Chuck Mangione wrote:I've been watching Eddie Pepitone stand-up on YouTube. Really funny guy.
He was a douche back then. I can't imagine what a douche he is today as an over-40 Republican who thinks he used to be somebody.JennyB wrote:I hope Chris Hardwick remembers that he used to host the deplorable 90's MTV show "Singled Out" with esteemed neuroscientist Jenny McCarthy.

I think he's pretty typical Hollywood liberal, to be fair. His stand-up is fairly mediocre, but he's a positive enough presence.Rat Patrol wrote:He was a douche back then.

Yeah, I've never seen his standup, but his television personality stuff seems totally innocuous. I don't particularly like him, but I can't see how he's a problem or anything. Other than his enabling nerds to feel anything other than shame for their interests, I mean.Silent Majority wrote:I think he's pretty typical Hollywood liberal, to be fair.

Is he over Alison Pearson? Wink, winkSilent Majority wrote:Doug Stanhope's new hour, Beer Hall Putsch, is the stand up comedy album of the year. I've always liked him, but I think show-to-show you've only got glimmers of what he's capable of. This one moves beyond the self-mythologising that he's sometimes too into, and the dearth of material you saw on the last few albums, into a laugh out loud funny through the whole hour show. What's great about his stuff has always been his wonderful disregard for tarting over the audience's appreciation, but this time it's tied to some fantastic bits and well crafted actual brilliant jokes.
