The ultimate ''happy ending'' in every sense.

I do read your comments, why won't you answer a straight question?
He's the boss, why shouldn't he be trusted? Maybe the younger more impressionable ones didn't know he was a sleaze bag.
Why put the blame on people being naive when it's the predator boss at fault?

Life is all about learning, not having someone do your thinking for you, as much as Blairite Nanny Staters would like it.

I wonder how many will hold him responsible for his deeds.

Well indeed. We have the honesty of the unwilling to thank for his demise. I just wonder where is the honesty from the willing. Seems Monroe was the last one.

He would have had a stash hidden away I reckon. He’ll disappear to an exotic island somewhere and retire, surrounded by young hookers and starlets...

I’m not jealous though...

Yes, I suppose that's the only thing he can do, he will still have a comfortable life no doubt but life as he knew it, is over. Most of his Hollywood "friends" will abandon him and the press will hunt him down where ever he goes.

Somebody as manipulative and savvy as him will have a contingency plan up his sleeve, he’ll have known someday this would come out. In today’s fast paced social media based showbiz scene, HW will soon be yesterday’s news and there will be another monster for the masses to focus on.

Look at Trump for instance, he was caught on tape bragging about his abuse, he’s had numerous accusations levelled at him over the years and that cunt is the leader of the free world ffs.

The girls should have been defended.

Nothing to do with 'macho' crap but just one person must have known how to look after himself (a few boxers etc).

Still power corrupts and they were under his spell.

How horrible.

John Stewart was the best TV news commentator imo, before he retired...

He still pops up on Colbert from time to time.

The Dems could do far worse if they ran Stewart for the populist vote next time.

Maher was terrified about it on his show. I think he wanted NK taken out in a first strike scenario.

Talk about fake from the outset

You're doing well to hang in that long

I was being generous I'm sure the guy presents some good and insightful material, but the voice and the frenetic, machine gun speed delivery make me zone out.

Bill Maher's quieter, more laid back style is hard to beat, imo.

Maher is good, but he's too dour and humble (as is Anderson Cooper). A brazen, unapologetic style suits comedy better imo.
Also, facial expressions count. The hilariously bewildered expression of Oliver when describing absolute absurdities all add to the mix.
His fast talking style is the very thing that appeals to me - works well with the content of the show.
His british accent in the US, among dozens of comics with US accents - that works well too. Makes him stand out.
In the end comedy preferences is all down to personal taste I guess.

Whilst we're on the subject, respect to Buzzcock guy Sean Hughes.
You went too soon, RIP.
