The man show was a left wing attack on incels.

  Funny none of those girls made claims against them. No, he raped me or walked in on us.

  Now lets hear about Trump near women.

  Well, I’ll tell you the funniest is that before a show, I’ll go backstage and everyone’s getting dressed, and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it. You know, I’m inspecting because I want to make sure that everything is good. […] You know, the dresses. ‘Is everyone okay?’ You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody okay?’ And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that. But no, I’ve been very good. -Trump

  One incident reportedly occurred in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant. Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA, recalled, “I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a man in here’.” She then remembered Trump saying, “Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before.” Four other women also alleged that Trump entered the dressing room; eleven contestants that Buzzfeed reached said they did not recall him in the dressing room.

    I’m CERTAIN I heard some claims from them but I can’t say it was against Jimmy.

    Also, girls jumping on trampolines was a presumably consensual trade of services for currency so it’s only problematic to liberals and when the phrase “under capitalism” becomes involved

      I mean libs suck but exploitation of women also sucks. In this case probably yeah these were likely women with wider careers and other options who largely chose to do this of their own free will.

      But only about as much as I do my job “of my own free will”

      Needing to eat and have a home somewhat imbalances the power dynamic between you and your boss

  The man show got cancelled because Joe Rogan and Doug Stanhope aren’t funny and the show ran out of material after the first season

      If you have friends in the business they’ll just keep putting you into shows. Rogan reinvented himself half a dozen times, taking whatever work he could get just to stay on TV.

      Same story with Howie Mandel and Drew Carey. Producers look for a name/face people recognize and these dinosaurs keep getting more work.

      It was the first time I saw someone so loudly against feeding kids.

  Jimmy Kimmel has always portrayed himself as a dirt bag. I don’t understand how he made it on TV.

  • sartalon@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    This show is the reason I have always dislike him.

    He was kind of funny on “Win Ben Stein’s Money”, so I initially looked forward to this show.

    But then I watched it and it kind of pissed me off. Like, is this what a “man” is supposed to be? A sexist douchebag with a terrible sense of humor.

    It was a TERRIBLE show. Glorified womanizing and binge drinking.

    Despite what he says now, that was who he was. He shouldn’t have had a career after that.

    But he’s just a talking head. He doesn’t write his material, he just reads teleprompters and has celebrity friends.

      The Man Show really turned me off to him, and I ignored his late night show for a long time. Then I started watching him when his son was having medical issues, and he started talking about the health insurance problems in America, and I realized he was a decent man with similar views to mine.

      Actors/ Entertainers have to scratch & claw at the beginning of their careers, and it’s hard to walk away from a regular paycheck. The experience he got on that awful show allowed him to do a great job on a really good show, so perhaps it was worth it.

      I’m sure he cringes at MAN Showe memories, too.

    Yeah I never understood how he became the host of a late night show? He always exuded sidekick energy. Just a chubby dumpy looking guy whose there to make the host look good .

      You can’t base your opinions of people by the performances you see. Or you will constantly be surprised like you are right now. Entertainment is all lies. Everyone is fake and just trying to get a paycheck when they start out on screen.

      Also people do change and do learn from the things they did in the past, not everyone, and much less when you after a fundie trad biggot, but effect and if them do actually become reasonable people.

      But you will never know the person Jimmy Kimmel is unless you are someone who gets to regularly see him when the cameras aren’t on.

      That’s a lesson entirely too many people need to learn. You don’t know shit about even some of the people closest to you, why do you think you know a good damned thing about some person that’s always in front of a camera?

      Go ask a grand parent, an auntie or uncle, a parent, your best friend, your favourite teacher, what was the worst thing they ever did to someone else?

      You probably don’t know what they would say, and they probably won’t tell you

    He used to be on “the man show” where they had a segment, or during the credits, women in bikinis jumping on trampolines.

      But what’s bad about that, bouncing titties are bad now? Did the women somehow not know that that’s what they were agreeing to?

  The first two seasons were. That third season they pivoted from satire to genuine trash. Hoo boy.
