Billy Crystal doesn’t sound too impressed by the current state of comedy and cancel culture.


“It’s becoming a minefield and I get it,” the comedian told The Post. “I don’t like it, I understand it … I just keep doing what I’m doing and that’s all you can do right now.


“It’s a totally different world [now] and it doesn’t mean you have to like it,” he added, with a laugh.

MrsM and I have seen all the old timers except Hackett and most of the younger ones including Pryor and Eddie Murphy.



I really don't see how any of them could work in this crazy environment. You can't say anything about anything without someone, or some group, climbing up your butt

Can you imagine if either Don Rickles or George Carlin were alive today what they would make of this conundrum of people taking everything from the price of kumquats to toilet paper as a personal affront upon their fragile wee ids?

That's possibly what the world needs more of at this particular time. Someone willing and able to tell us all to get over ourselves and grow a thicker skin along with a stronger back bone.

Don Rickles..... I wish he was still around. The guy was fearless but intelligent... exactly what we need today.

If you haven't read this Frank Sinatra prank, it is GOLD.

Earlier today, my husband and I were just saying that Don Rickles would never be able to work today, given all the woke BS going on.

I've said for years Progressives (not Libs) have no sense of humor, None, nada,, zilch

Liberals have let the Progressives ruin their party, their movies and their comedy.

Comedy is a minefield. Love is a battlefield.

Stay thirsty, my friends.

Danny McBride is able to succeed despite being non-PC always.
Then again, his biggest hit was in 2009-2013 (Eastbound & Down).
But Vice Principals had a similar tone, and that was recent enough 2016-2017.
