Comedy Central made a huge mistake cancelling this show. Sure, it was because of the pandemic, but they had already filmed all the storytellers and were just about to start filming the reenactments, which is not cool.

Another cool fact about Hedy is she also worked on the very early stages of the technology that would later become LTE (Long Term Evolution) that stuff that allows us to use our phones and laptops and tablets and everything today. She said she learned about it by sitting in meetings with her husband trying to just “look pretty and act dumb” all while listening and learning and using it to advance her work. Total badass

🌟😇🤣😂😎☝️A wonderfully GENIUS concept that had its moments, BUT 🤢👎💩🤦🏻‍♀️😝 sorry Comedy Central: painstakingly omitting the swear words is mainstream, uptight hubris bullshit~takes the crucial humor & spontaneity right out if it, FFS! Gotta find another place to watch the REAL deals, like on Netflix?!

@breakinganddecorating8108 Жыл бұрын

@wenwilloughby8197 Жыл бұрын

Except unlike Netflix this here is being presented for free, which means Comedy Central is probably counting on video monetisation to pay for this - because someone somewhere has to pay for this, which means to qualify for monetisation they have to (kinda) cut the swears - though you can still hear exactly what's being said. So you can either get this free version with some half-assed bleeps, or you can watch the whole thing with swear words by paying a streaming channel. Either works. But it's not cool to shout at the people giving us free stuff if this is the only way they can do it.
