I can never remember which is which but I think Fallon’s the one that got Trump elected and Kimmel is the one who wears blackface
It’s pretty shocking that Kimmel hasn’t been MeToo’d for co-hosting The Man Show.
It’s also shocking that he isn’t a complete fucking nutcase like at least two of the other three hosts.
(Not sure about Stanhope, but I’d put my money on him as well.)
Stanhope had a libertarian streak through him in the past but his comedy is pretty much apolitical last time I saw it (Glasgow 2019).
I guess here he is bashing Sarah Palin. Really old clip

it’s definitely weasel not jewish, but it’s hard for some people to see past that sort of thing in here
Yeah, not an anti-Semitic bone in that guy

The premise of the joke is that Weisselberg
- sounds like “weasel”
- is a Jewish name

It’s “weasel”, "but “weasel-Jew” adds an extra layer.

Can’t speak to Franken’s intention, but it definitely seemed to me to be referring to the Jewishness of the name. Also the way I say “Weisselberg” does not rhyme with weasel, to me it’s weiss like rice.

Yea if the name was pronounced the same I would be more likely to think it’s weasel but nah
you serious?
Yeah I agree with this.
Franken is just a total hack. It’s why the only he’s known for in entertainment is a SNL character
Plus isn’t the W pronounced more like a V? Like I would pronounce this Vice ill Burg.
It’s Jewish and “weasel” adds the extra layer.

Right well it should really be “VICE-el-burg”.
It’s good to know who has me on ignore.
It could be pronounced shar-day for all I know, guy can say his name however he wants. But I’ve got a fair amount of family with “weiss” in their name and it’s pronounced “wice”, so that’s how it is in my head.
Missed your post because it snuck in there before I hit post on my first reply.

Yeah, I didn’t even see the weasel connection, because I was thinking “wice” the whole time. I only saw the Jewishness of the name.
