Smile and nod, smile and nod - If it's in reference to the blackmailer, "When in doubt, Google it." Ipso-De-Facto 11:11, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

p.s. - as far as the death thing, I'd not heard anything about that, nor seen a change to the article. Ipso-De-Facto 11:11, 29 November 2006 (UTC) x2

Predecessor and Successor

Having Predecessor and Successor in the infobox especially without having the game listed in it, seems a bit weird to me at least, anyone else agree? I'm not sure if this has been discussed in the past, so won't remove it atm. Dureo 07:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Maxim magazine: Worst Comedians of all time

Never heard this guy, but Maxim had an article entitled "12 worst comedians of all time." This guy was 11th. It's notable enough for this article, especially given maxim's notability. Maximonline should have an article on it. This link: http://www.maximonline.com/slideshows/index.aspx?slideId=2090&imgCollectId=98 IronCrow (talk) 07:34, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Truth be told... He didn't make it in Hollywood because he is a Christian. They aren't big on people professing their faith during their acts. 204.154.114.90 (talk) 15:06, 29 January 2009 (UTC) Whoopi is on that list at number 3, what the hell man, she was funny for when she came out, and she's ok. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.114.46.19 (talk) 03:17, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Maxim articles are no different from Cracked.com articles for Onion articles. They're mostly tongue in cheek or outright parody. I can't see how anything they say is either notable or reputable. 21:27, 18 March 2011 (UTC) -oops Geofferic ^T•_C✡ 21:28, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Family Feud/Media offices

The smaller "Media offices" box reads "Preceded by Ricard Dawson" but the Family Feud box gives Ray Combs of the second incarnation. It should read "Preceded by Ray Combs" in the Media offices box. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.39.122.20 (talk) 06:52, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Dawson came back to host the show for one season. Dawson hosted from 1976-85, then Combs from 1988-94, then Dawson again from 1994-95. Therefore, Dawson is correct. --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 22:11, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

LGBT comedians category

Is Louie Anderson gay or bisexual? I know the article has a section about a blackmailing, but it does not say whether or not Gordon's claims were actually true or not, and there is no mention of his sexuality elsewhere in the article.

Should Anderson be in this category? Does anyone have a reliable source that proves indefinitely that Anderson should be in this category? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikikaye (talk • contribs) 22:58, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Unless a reliable source can be found, he should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.72.27.204 (talk) 02:06, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

I don't think he should be included because he isn't really known as being an LGBT actor/comedian. Just because it is alleged he asked a man to preform a sex act on him doesn't make him gay, otherwise everyone would be in the LGBT category.

"he asked a man to preform (sic) a sex act on him doesn't make him gay, otherwise everyone would be in the LGBT category" – Of course it makes him gay. I've asked a man to perform a sex act on me.--95.147.97.8 (talk) 20:56, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

In a 2013 interview, Arsenio Hall includes Louie Anderson in a list of gay people whom he had on his show who were not out at the time.Larrybob (talk) 02:18, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

He admitted to the allegation in an interview for the True Hollywood Story episode about Family Feud that he did what he was accused of, so at the very least he's bisexual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.52.47.40 (talk) 21:52, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Is THIS why his leaving Family Feud is mentioned so briefly? I thought it was fairly well-known that Anderson lost the FF gig because of at least "rumors" about him being gay. I think a casual reader may conclude he left because of the 9/11 special. The abruptness of the transition seems to imply such. But that's a stylistic point. I think the facts of his leaving FF could be explained in a little more detail. I'm sure I heard at least rumors at the time. I like Louie, shared an elevator with him in Vegas once. But I'm more of a gadfly than an editor. If someone is watching, they might want to probe a little in that direction.Jororo05 (talk) 22:58, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Hoagy Carmichael occupation

Singer Hoagy Carmichael? I'm not an authority of his work on film and television, but I've never seen nor heard him sing. He is best known as a songwriter and occasionally as a pianist in movies (featuring recent songs he's written) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.24.84.136 (talk) 23:11, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
