Only one in the last 20 years you might tune in to watch him interview someone.

Letterman interviews were banal.

Conan relied solely on his guests to perform but had occasional witty retorts.

I'm pretty sure the current crop of hosts have done that already.

Louis CK is one person, who is now pretty much self-releasing all of his stuff. He is still making lots of money and selling well, but he does actually appear to be blackballed from mainstream outlets.


He's literally up for a Grammy this cycle. How is that being "blackballed?"

He has zero TV credits, one film credit (which he self-financed and directed), and all of his comedy specials have been self-releases.

He had one of the easiest gigs in the industry, voicing a friendly character that requires no tough accent or classic cartoonish voice in a film series that easily makes money, and he was replaced.

He’s literally done nothing that he hasn’t self-financed in 6 years.

As I said, he’s still making good money and doing shows, but it’s through no help of the industry.

Giggling at everything like a 10 yr old girl. Basically a comedy genius.

Probably not woke enough. He'll probably be replaced by a lesbian activatist

Fallon ain’t on the same block as Caesar, Carson or Letterman talent- wise, but I have no problem believing he’s an a-hole.

The same Roseann Barr that, just this year, premiered a stand-up special on Fox Nation?

One of these is not like the other.



Mostly Johnny Carson. Which is not to excuse Fallon. Carson was just that much better than the rest.

So, being "cancelled" is not getting every job you want, despite your career continuing to generate a living for you. Got it.

She got fired (cancelled) from her own show. It's not like she was up for a role and didn't get it. She doesn't need to work but saying she didn't get cancelled is like say Mel Gibson didn't get blackballed for Passion of the Christ.

He's made 25 movies since then.

Y'all have some fricking weird concepts of "blackballed."
