Nikki Finke Has Some Thoughts on Women in Comedy


"Listen up, Hollywood: Beautiful actresses are not funny. They don’t know how to do comedy ... Only women who grew up ugly and stayed ugly, or through plastic surgery became beautiful, can pull off sitcoms or standups ... Because it’s all about emotional pain and humiliation and rising above both by making people laugh with you instead of at you. So stop casting beautiful actresses when you should be giving ugly women a chance." — Nikki Finke, clearly peeved about Julie Bowen's Emmy win.

I generally think ugly people are better comedians men and women. Beautiful people can be great comedic actors though.
teamdowney 25th-Sep-2012 05:57 am (UTC)
That's the way I feel too.
brokenseas 24th-Sep-2012 09:04 pm (UTC)
I mean Nikki Finke blows and this statement is a disaster, but I'm not sure I'd call Julie Bowen a beauty or someone who has gone easy on the fillers.
ion_square 24th-Sep-2012 09:05 pm (UTC)
i seriously can't stand nikki finke just in general.

She had a suckbot implanted into her neck or something. I swear she was once legit. Once, long ago~

Lucille Ball was a beautiful actress and she's one of the funniest women of all time so...

One of my favorite SNL skits of all time
leopard_legs 25th-Sep-2012 05:41 pm (UTC)
I love this skit and how everyone was literally crying for laughter
chantalzola 25th-Sep-2012 08:16 pm (UTC)
What skit is that from? i can't tell =(
marishna 27th-Sep-2012 02:19 am (UTC)
This was the only one of these skits that worked and it was only because everyone and their dog broke.
brosling 24th-Sep-2012 09:06 pm (UTC)
stop hating on beautiful people
vitalshot 24th-Sep-2012 09:06 pm (UTC)
Since when was being ugly a requirement to be funny?
trikc 24th-Sep-2012 09:08 pm (UTC)
Seriously. It implies that being funny is something you develop and its not. You can't teach funny. It's something you're born with.
chantalzola 25th-Sep-2012 08:17 pm (UTC)
This.
trikc 24th-Sep-2012 09:06 pm (UTC)
I actually agree that men are usually funnier than women but there are lots of hot and funny women. J Aniston is legit funny. Porshe Derossi. Lots.

no you're wrong

stand there in your wrongness and be wrong and get used to it
trikc 24th-Sep-2012 09:18 pm (UTC)
opinions can't be wrong. I am a woman who counts her sense of humor as her best asset, but that's why I have more male friends than female b/c more men "get me" than women. And I only like about 5 female stand ups. I find most are schticky b/c the material can't stand on its own.

just my opinion.
aurora_sparkles 24th-Sep-2012 09:29 pm (UTC)
LOL!

I'm going to steal that.

Jennifer Aniston being legit funny is the most hilarious thing I read all day.

flyingpigs_live 24th-Sep-2012 09:08 pm (UTC)

poisoned_summer 24th-Sep-2012 09:08 pm (UTC)
THANKS FOR STANDING UP FOR WOMEN AND FEMINISM NIKKI FINKE

mentalrecluse 24th-Sep-2012 09:18 pm (UTC)
hiphophooray 24th-Sep-2012 09:23 pm (UTC)
i think what she said is ridiculous but i don't see what feminism has to do with it lol
secretlemonade 24th-Sep-2012 09:09 pm (UTC)
Now this is just dumb. Women can be hot and funny.

And I knew quite a few "beautiful people" when I was younger who suffered plenty of pain and humiliation.
chantalzola 25th-Sep-2012 08:17 pm (UTC)
Ditto and ditto.
prophecypro 24th-Sep-2012 09:11 pm (UTC)
Well you ugly and I didnt laugh.

I wouldnt say its as cut and dry as that. But its more a perception problem as comedians have explained before.
hrhobo 24th-Sep-2012 09:11 pm (UTC)
