Except Robert DeNiro. Oscar winning dramatic actor, who made much more money on the "Fockers" movies than he ever made before. And now he's just dialing it in; cash for not even trying.


Did you read my whole post? Being in
a comedy movie does not make you
a comedian. At all. You're just reading
lines somebody else wrote.

A comedian stands on a stage alone
and makes people laugh with material
he himself wrote. There are people
who only write comedy and never
perform it because they aren't funny.
Most of the writers on SNL aren't
comedians, they have no idea how
to make people laugh at the stuff
they write.

That's kind of a funny concept. We all know songwriters who write incredible songs (like Leonard Cohen) but don't have the beautiful voices. But they all perform anyway even if they sound like they are gargling gravel.

The old comedians like Bob Hope and
George Burns and Milton Berle would
often buy jokes from professional
joke writers. I remember Hope was
asked on a talk show why the joke
writers didn't just do the jokes
themselves. Hope said something
like, writing funny and being funny
aren't the same thing.

I can well appreciate the fact that delivery is very important, and that some people can write much better than they can deliver. It's clearly the same way with songwriters.

But even a songwriter with the most limited vocal range, still wants to perform their own songs. I just can't believe that joke writers don't have a little side gig where they try to deliver their own jokes.

Bad comics are a dime a dozen.
More people fail in the stand up
comedy biz than almost any other
profession.

Modern Family has certainly jumped the shark if their big promotion is that someone important dies in season #10. Most people assume that it won't be, Jay Pritchett so attention focuses on:

Fred Willard has guest starred as Phil's father Frank
Shelley Long appeared in the first two seasons and occasionally thereafter as DeDe Pritchett, Jay's ex-wife and Claire and Mitchell's mother.
Nathan Lane appears as Cameron and Mitchell's flamboyant friend Pepper Saltzman

My bet is on Fred, he's almost 80.

The Parking Garage,


I thought that was among the worst episodes.

You're not missing much. I think the story line is leading up to Raj finally finding a mate. I have only been watching because it follows Young Sheldon.

You can always get a beautiful wife with a $20 million a year salary. You don't even have to be tall.


Also with $20million + salary you don't need those 6 pack abs
