I can't even repeat it, it was so bad.
Don't know too much about him, but he doesn't seem comfortable up there.

I've laughed at some of the jokes..then again I have a morbid sense of humor and often not pc.

(12,132 posts)but had no problem laughing at the Kardashian joke. Lincoln don't care but Kim and family might.
I just tuned in right before that so I don't know what I missed earlier.
Seth is the creator of Family guy and American Dad and as far as I know a pretty liberal guy and I usually like him but he does look uncomfortable up there to me. He is known for being over the line though. Depending where your line is, of course. lol

I am not easily offended, however.

(16,954 posts)Didn't even recognize him from anywhere, and I at least kind of know who the bigger names are even if I don't watch the shows. And I thought that's why I haven't been digging him so much. He's just meh.
