This is no exaggeration. Trump’s attorney general has directly confirmed that they’ll come after you for your speech, and now his FCC chair has doubled down. It’s not the bully pulpit anymore — it’s the thought police presidency.” Wanda Sykes, comedian “I was supposed to go over and have a chat with my friend Jimmy Kimmel on his show, but as you have heard...

The View has been accused of 'purposefully avoiding' any mention of ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's talk show after the hosts failed to address the elephant in the room.

Pia Wilson, from Dallas, Texas, lost out on adding $10,000 to her total on the Tuesday, September 16, episode. She didn’t have any money until the Triple Toss Ups, where she solved two of them, giving her a total of $4,000.

"I don’t get no respect," said Rodney Dangerfield, thousands of times. It was one of the great taglines in show-business history. It was the basis of his act—the denial of respect.

Mr. Starr has written many biographies of entertainers, and several of comedians such as Dangerfield. His other subjects include Joey Bishop, Redd Foxx, and Don Rickles. You may prefer to read a long magazine piece about Dangerfield. You may prefer...
