He can be funny, but most of the time you just want to hit him.

He makes me embarrassed to be a gay Italian-American.

Very obnoxious.

I love him. But, I am not kicking anyone.
I am a nice girl.
I don't think he is obnoxious. I think he is very funny!
Now, give me an interview BITCH! Updated On: 6/6/05 at 12:25 PM

I would love that!

Lol. I think that he can be funny and a little obnoxious at times... but all in all I like him as a performer. He was really good as Sam Byck in ASSASSINS when I saw it at the Roundabout.

I find him to be a shrieking idiot. Anything remotely funny he MIGHT say is ruined by his obnoxious "look at me!" delivery. The Broadway Cares events he has hosted have been excruciating. I'm sure the man must have some talent, but his braying and often downright mean signature schtick has shortchanged his potential.

If Assassins had not been a Sondheim show I would have skipped it just so I would not have had to endure Cantone. And I cringed during his scene as Byck. had I not been exposed to him prior to Assassins I may have enjoyed him. Everything he does just seems the same. The screaming just annoys me. He was funny for a minute early on in Sex....City. Just my opinion.

Laugh Whore was so funny, I actually paid to see it three times.
His impersonation of his sister literally had me gasping for air.
I have to admit, he is a bit of a diva, but he cracks me up.
And he is so adorable. I WANT TO PINCH HIS LITTLE CHEEKS.
My first encounter with him was on New Years Eve at the Olive Tree in the Village. He called me into his act and I was funny.
He called me a BITCH as I talked back and after the show he came and talked to me. Cool guy. Updated On: 6/6/05 at 01:17 PM

i like him but he was too much of a stereotype on sex and the city.

I loved Laugh Whore. It was on the other night and I taped it, and have watched it 4 times. He can get a tad annoying but I think he is amazing. As an actor u just have to like apreciate that talent. He has a great voice, does incredible impersenations ("Im not taking the F***ing Estrogen" If u saw Laugh Whore ud get it) and I think he is a rare talent.

One of the most obnoxious people on the planet - he's up there with Star Jones - and that's saying A LOT.

Laugh Whore was hilarious! I don't know if I could stand him much longer than a couple of hours...but his Liza impression is just so funny that I couldn't stop laughing. But, yes, he is a bit obnoxious at times.

I personally can't stand him OR his interpretation of Sam Byck. Honestly, I find Byck to be completely sad of a character. His performance was so... desperate for laughs. I just don't get the love people have for this man.

I actually didn't mind him last night...of course he can be obnoxious but I kind of love that he and Megan were put together :0) What a duo...

I loved his Liza but I think is Judy Garland was better. But by far the best was his sister Camile.

I actually loved his sam byck and do not find him obnoxious at all. I had the pleasure of sitting behind him during Songs for a New World concert and he is the nicest, sweetest guy to talk with.

I just wish he would have done Dame Edna!
No matter how many times I screamed he would not do it.
I love his humor. He would be great with Christine Pedi.

You sat behind him? That rocks! I think he would be so fun to talk to.
