How can we use this moment to call him in, instead of call him out?

What upsets me is he was treated badly because he was half and half. You would think he would not be against others for religion. His show was called Born a Crime. It was a crime for his parents to get married in South Africa and he talks about the horrors he dealt with being half black and half white. Bigotry is awful. Very surprised at these remarks.

I don't think he really hates anyone. I think he just makes shîtty jokes.

Sometimes the people who experience bigotry turn out to be the biggest bigots of all. And other bromides.

In her autobiography, Carol Channing revealed that she was an octoroon.

This is so sad. I'm bummed. Goodnight.

We were all bummed when we first heard that about Carol, Corine. But life goes on.

Dpn't be sad. Carol is proud of her mixed heritage.

TRANSCRIPTS: CNN LARRY KING LIVE

Interview With Carol Channing
Aired November 27, 2002 – 21:00 ET

KING: Lets start early in that truth. Your father was black.

CHANNING: No, he was not black. I wish I had his picture. He was — he was a — his skin was the color of mine. I don’t know maybe. Yes, it’s all right. Well any, no. My father — you read the tabloids, don’t you?

KING: No, it says in my notes your beloved father, George Channing, a newspaper editor, renowned Christian Science lecturer listed as colored on his birth certificate.

CHANNING: Yes, and the place burned down, but nobody ever knew that. But I know it. Every time I start to sing or dance, I know it, and I’m proud of it.

KING: So he was black?

CHANNING: No, He had in — there was a picture in our family album and my grandmother said — I never saw them. My grandfather was Nordic German and my grandmother was in the dark. And they said no that was — she was — and I’m so proud of it I can’t tell you. When our champion gave me that last third (UNINTELLIGIBLE) on “Hello Dolly!” Again. No white woman can do it like I did. KING: So you’re proud of your mixed heritage?

CHANNING: Very, when I found out. I was 16-years-old and my mother told me. And you know, only the reaction on me was, Gee, I got the greatest genes in show business.

KING: Some people years ago discovering that might have been disturbed by it?

CHANNING: Yes, years ago because when I found out about it, you don’t want to do that.

KING: You don’t say it.

CHANNING: You don’t say it. There’s a lot of it down South.

KING: People are ashamed of it.

CHANNING: I’d proud of it.

KING: I’m glad to hear it.

CHANNING: I really am. I mean look, what makes you, you? You don’t know. None of us knows our heritage. Not in the United States.

KING: We’re all immigrants.

CHANNING: Exactly, this is the changing face of America. I’m part of it. Isn’t it wonderful?

KING: You damn right.

CHANNING: I’m young again.

It really made me see her differently. I started thinking about how she always wore white pant suits and have really white hair and it started to make sense. i think she was trying to overcompensate for her octoroon-ness.

[Corine2]

Posted: 4/1/15 at 12:05am

She's adorable. I saw her one woman show a few years ago. So cute. I loved her film a few years back as well.

If only I could have interviewed The curvy red head teddy bear. I am sure he is not a bigot. Although, I didn't need to see him in his Beckeroo's last night.
He needs to bring back the horse. I miss the damn horse.

Was that her show with Justin Vivian Bond?

[Corine2]

Posted: 4/1/15 at 12:55am

I believe it was at the Village gate before it closed. BOND is funny.

People loved the one woman shows she did with him.

Like others have said, it's not so much he's offensive, his humor just seems kind of dumb..and not very funny. I haven't really enjoyed him as a correspondent on the show either.

Just saw Trevor Noah's first two Daily Shows (from Monday and Tuesday).  SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE NEW EPS YET.  

 

I'm certainly someone who found his old Twitter jokes - wait for it - problematic, but I also wanted to allow him the opportunity to show that he's grown as a comic and a public figure.  While you can't put everything on one episode, I thought he was wonderful in his debut.  Incredibly charming and charismatic - and he deployed that charm in sly ways.  You can get some pretty sharp jokes (and a few groaners) in there when everyone's getting a bit distracted by your dimples.  It was a fairly lightweight episode by Daily Show standards, but I think that was probably a smart way to start.  Jordan Klepper was very funny with his on air panic attack about buying a new condo and while new correspondent Roy Wood Jr's "black people aren't going to Mars" piece might have been a bit obvious, I enjoyed his sharp delivery.  

 

Noah seemed to a little less assured on his second show, though he remained as charming as before.  He's almost too good looking and flirtatious by nature, though.  I wasn't sure if I was watching an interview with the founder of Tinder and Bumble or their first date. Thought the second new correspondent Desi Lydic paired very nicely with Hasan Minhaj on their home shopping antiquities of Syria bit.  

 

Gotta admit, I was skeptical about this guy, but I'm pretty much already won over.  If the writers and Noah can find the right balance between the sharp, sardonic Daily Show tone and Noah's cheekiness, I think this will work out very nicely.

I laughed through the first one.

[CarlosAlberto]

Posted: 9/30/15 at 12:42pm

I think he did great on his first show, I didn't catch the second one. He is quite the charmer and very easy on the eyes.

Like all hosts of talk shows, it will take him a good year before he finds his niche.

I dunno if it'll take a full year - this one seems like a quick study.
