Tom Leonardis has been Whoppie Goldberg's producer for about 19 years. Tom is also president of Whoopie Inc., her largest fan club. He admits to being frustrated and confused as to why Ms. Goldberg has never, ever been asked to host the Saturday Night Live entertainment show. "Whoopie has won an Oscar, she has hosted the Oscars, she won Emmys, Gramy and Tony awards as well, she even runs The View, Barbara Walters' Crown Jewel of a show, a couple times a month. So you tell me, what does it take for one of the most successful black comics to host this show? Lorne Greene never responds to my emails or my phone calls or any of my tweets. I've had enough of this treatment!".
Tom was speaking with reporters on the evening that Whoopie premiered her one woman performance at The Apollo Theatre; Whoopie presents Moms Mabley. In attendance were George Schlattner of Rowan and Martin's Laugh in production, Rain Pryor, daughter of Late Comic Richard Pryor, Dick Cavett, Phylis Rashad, and Jerry Stiller. Rain has also opened a show recently; her performance in 'Fried Chicken and Latkas" is receiving rave reviews. Whoopie says she long ago stopped waiting for Lorne Greene to dial her number; "I am not worried about it, okay?' was her response to the topic.
Perhaps because she is a talentless liberal hack?
Oh, wait...
Were you at the premier doing the interviews for this article?
While that may be true, I hope you look better than horse face does.
I need to email Lorne and thank him for not putting her on!
My mistake. Yes, I meant Lorne Michaels. That’s what I get for dash-writing right before bed. Besides, I doubt if the twitter cloud extends quite that far.
“The great Baird Searles summed the show up perfectly in the title of his review in F&SF:”
and who the F is this ass clown? If he’s so “great” no one has heard about him. next time quit quoting a nobody that no one gives a rat’s ass about.
She’s also never been asked to run for president.
The Beatles never answer Lorne Michaels’ calls.
They’ve never asked me to host SNL, either, and I can be pretty funny sometimes.
*sigh*
She could go in white face and do jokes about Ted Danson.
reckun they don’t have a lens that can capture her hips and lips and locks at the same time.
You’re probably right that Whoopie has ‘been chosen’ to help remake his shattered image. I don’t know how effective she would be with young folks under, say 35. Then again, she may only choose to walk so deep into the foul, murky waters of USS ObamaCare. Stevie Wonder will probably be hauled out yet again wearing his beaded cornrows and 1977 Dashiki, singing songs about The Man. You will be able to tell if they really start getting nervous closer to the 2014 elections if they choose militant slut characters like Nikki Minaj to speak for them.
Whoopie would be a great host. That is strange, maybe she demands too much.
Both of them are Canadian. Coincidence? Greene was a newsreader in Canada during WW 2 and got the nickname the voice of doom. The voice of doom says “no SNL for you Whoopi”

Well they're both Canadians so it's understandable.
Whoopi has had (at least) SEVEN abortions, really? Wow. Some women do use that D/C procedure as just another birth control method. Imagine that. Some folks can’t have any children at all, or they pretty much bet the farm on some doctored up wizardry as a last resort.
No, but Paul McCartney was in NYC at the Dakota visiting John Lennon when Michaels did his famous skit offering money to the Beatles to play on the show. Lennon and McCartney were watching SNL, thought the bit was hilarious, and talking about grabbing guitars and heading down to Rockefeller Center. Then they decided it would be too much effort and decided against appearing unannounced on SNL.
All this from the biography, 'McCartney: A Life."
and who the F is this ass clown?
*chuckle* Yeah, most of the people who liked Rattletrap weren’t science fiction readers.
Danson threw away his marriage of 16 years (and 2 kids) for an affair with Whoopi that lasted for all of 18 months. The divorce cost him about 30 million dollars. Real smart, that guy.
