Oh get the hell out of here, Eddie Brill. (see 7th graf from the bottom)

Aaaand, again (via Feministing):

Guest post: This is why we keep talking about gender in comedy

Apologies to Ryan Williams. I don’t mean to disparage your coworkers.

EDITED TO ADD:

Among some comics “Late Show” has a reputation for favoring a certain profile. “The types they seem to like are middle-aged white men from the Midwest,” the comic Amy Schumer said. Only one woman (Karen Rontowski) was booked in 2011. “There are a lot less female comics who are authentic,” Mr. Brill said. “I see a lot of female comics who to please an audience will act like men.”


ALSO EDITED TO ADD: I lied. I don’t give a fuck about Ryan Williams.

EDITED AGAIN: I give so many fucks about Ryan Williams.
