If that were the case he should have called him out right then and there....like they did with Bush and Trump.

Considering 3 of 5 ladies are old enough to be his mother or grandmother, I’m not sure he’s being a hero here.

Weinstain only went for the young un’s.

#8 and the hollywood crowd still supports the Clintons and will condemn the victims.

That's a transparent lie. If he wanted the joke to sting he'd have phrased it differently.

Something like: “Congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to submit to Harvey Weinstein's lecherous advances.”

That might have made Harvey and the rest of the hall nervous. But the way he said it, it was just something everybody could laugh off.

Is this just Seth covering his ___? Or is he trying to cash in on the publicity? Or does he have his own sex scandals to cover up, like Joss Whedon?

I think your assessment of this is very shrewd.

Seth, I love The Orville and Family Guy, but please if you knew about Harvey, you should have said something. However, as dad (aka DeplorableAmerican) said since you were at South Kent you might have been having sex there.

Dad went to a boarding school (a rival of South Kent) and it is common knowledge about gay sex in those places.

So is Seth admitting he knew about the harassment and just chose to make jokes about it?

You’ve got a point, but when you listen closely to the audio, it’s *really* nervous laughter from that room. Those people knew what McFarlane was saying, and yet were cowed by Weinstein’s power, no doubt about it.

So four years ago McFarlane knew what was going on with Weinstein and instead of calling the cops the best he could do was come up with a piss-poor quip.

It is entertaining to see the scrambling of Hollywood (and NFL) comically trying to display a semblance of decency.
