        I'm always surprised on his show too.

        I love it and think it's the funniest show sicne the old Saturday Night Live days.


        He's as bad or worse the Howard Stern.

        Amazing it's on TV.

        Great show.

            technically, the word "fuck" is allowed to be used on TV as well. Although I bet no network would dare.... it's all about the context.

            You can say "What the fuck" or "fuck that shit". But you can't say "Jack fucked Jill".

              ****** isn't a term for any specific race. It's definition is "ignorant," so technically it's not a swear word or anything like that. Really it's not even deragatory, over time it has just come to be that way.

                    I seriously doubt any cable channel would allow someone to say "what the fuck".

                      Mi media class teacher in HS told us that there is a list of safe-words that you can use after 10pm in any time zone. "******" is one of those words.

                      Though I remember watchin ROOTS and other historical movies that were filled with that word in Elementary School.....hmmm.

                          But everyone knows its a horrible word towards blacks too so its taken more seriously. Honestly do you ever say to someone if they are ignorant to you, your a ******? I doubt it.

                            I have met white people who are more of a "******" than anyone. It really wasn't coined as a derogatory term, nor was it meant to be used to describe a certain race of people. People should be treated how they act, regardless of race.

                              cause the white jew man own the network. hehe nah, it's not bleeps because it's being said by some ghetto fool that thinks it's okay to say "nigga" or "******" but if a white guy says it, it's time to protest.

                                      I'm apalled at the word ****** but I think the use of the word bitch is a bit out of hand too. Why don't they bleep that? Kids kinda know they can get their asses kicked for saying ****** but they are running around saying bitch bitch bitch. calling their teachers bitch and old women bitch. That's crazy.

                                          This is not true. The FCC recently overturned it's original ruling and deemed Bono saying on a live award show, "This is fucking brilliant" obscene.

                                            I hear more black people calling each other that more then I hear white people calling black people that name.

                                            I dont use those words
                                            ******, Jap, Beaner, I'd get the shit kicked out of me, by family. My Oldest cuz is Asian, another cuz is mexican, my aunt is married to a black man and they have 3 very smart kids.

                                            But our family is really devirse. One aunt is married to a retired man of the clooth. So it really makes it hard to tell jokes durring christmas.

                                            "Did you hear joke about the Asain man, the Black man, the Mexican, and the preacher" LOL

                                                  Yeah, and "Who Are You" by The Who has been played on the radio for years.

                                                  They say "Who the fuck are you" a few times in the song.

                                                    I have heard the retort "there are white ******s" for years by people wishing to "legitimize" the word (or perhaps they are just clueless). I have never heard someone call a white person a ****** outside of a "chummy" context. If a white person cuts you off in traffic are you going to yell, "Hey, ignorant ******!"? No, you are going to yell, "Hey, you stupid fuck!"

                                                      In all honesty, it depends on their attitude. One of my best friends is black, and we've had many discussions about this type of thing.
