Is my slip showing? Gender and vulnerability in stand-up comedy
What does it mean to be vulnerable? This question comes up quite a bit in comedy. You might hear someone say, “oh, he’s so raw, so vulnerable…” It’s a common form of praise, usually for male comedians.
Former Late Show booker, Eddie Brill, named vulnerability as his favorite quality in a comedian. He seldom, if ever, booked women. Eventually, he was fired for his statements in the now infamous New York Times article. However, the crux of his argument was that good comedians reveal their weaknesses and women just don’t do that.

Claire from HR: ‘Sexual harassment in the workplace’ (SNL video)
Claire from the Human Resources department (Cecily Strong) wants to make sure that SNL Weekend Update anchor Colin Jost knows what exactly constitutes sexual harassment in the workplace.
Sexual harassment is everywhere, not just Hollywood! Shocking, no?
Currently, the focus is on Hollywood and Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused of harassment, attacks, and/or rape by over 70 women. This evil industry. Hollywood.
Shocking, no?
No, carnales. Before the Weinstein story broke, Bill Cosby, the sweater-wearing, jello-eating [alleged] rapist, was accused of attacking or raping 41 women. Did we forget about him? To date, he has not been convicted. People still defend him.
