    Funny none of those girls made claims against them. No, he raped me or walked in on us.

    Now lets hear about Trump near women.

    Well, I’ll tell you the funniest is that before a show, I’ll go backstage and everyone’s getting dressed, and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it. You know, I’m inspecting because I want to make sure that everything is good. […] You know, the dresses. ‘Is everyone okay?’ You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody okay?’ And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that. But no, I’ve been very good. -Trump

    One incident reportedly occurred in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant. Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA, recalled, “I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a man in here’.” She then remembered Trump saying, “Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before.” Four other women also alleged that Trump entered the dressing room; eleven contestants that Buzzfeed reached said they did not recall him in the dressing room.

    The man show got cancelled because Joe Rogan and Doug Stanhope aren’t funny and the show ran out of material after the first season

        If you have friends in the business they’ll just keep putting you into shows. Rogan reinvented himself half a dozen times, taking whatever work he could get just to stay on TV.

        Same story with Howie Mandel and Drew Carey. Producers look for a name/face people recognize and these dinosaurs keep getting more work.

            His filmography is a bit longer than that. The man has three different pro-drugs documentaries, for instance.

            he got lucky his podcast exploded

            He kept getting shots and he kept taking them. The man was a magnet for Hollywood investment cash. He was already a mega-millionaire before the Spotify deal.

        Same here. Love Doug. He put out a new full show on his channel recently that’s pretty great. Was he even on The Man Show? I did watch it occasionally back in the day when I had cable, but don’t recall him being on it. I do remember being baffled that Kimmel got a late night TV show gig after doing that show though. He wasn’t all that good.

        Rogan can fuck off though.

          He was involved for sure. One of the segments was his mom reviewing porn.
