He's "almost funny." He needs to hire some writers.

Or that anyone else's sex life is our business?

My theory--a whole lot of people aren't getting laid enough, and resent those who are.

He used to be genuinely funny, years ago, but then he turned into a surly prick. There's too much of a nasty, meanspirited edge to his humor now, and it doesn't work well for him.

Now that all this is out, be prepared for the female employee or two asserting the above.

I used to watch him in the 80s when no one heard of him.  He was funny then.

These days I dont watch TV.

It is not ethical as someone’s superior with the power to hire and fire to have affairs with employees. They may feel forced to comply for their job…or they certainly can claim it in a lawsuit.

I had little respect for the man before this incident and even less now. Yes the blackmailer deserves what the law dictates…he is just lucky she was a criminal rather than someone that would take the sexual harassment route.

This makes him far from a hero in my book anyway.

I went to college with him. He was a braggart and thought he was God's gift to mankind. I never knew anyone who had problems with him sexually, though. I never thought of him as being a sexual person actually...just goes to show. After he graduated from college, he did some local and state television...weather and late night movies. He was pretty funny at that time, but I haven't been able to watch a single one of his shows all the way through. He just makes me tune out!!!!

Fucking the boss so that you'll get preferential treatment is also unethical.

Who doesn't know you can sue the ass off a boss that is harassing you into having sex?  Seems like it would have already come up in courts before if it had, or at least the tabloids.  They probably know how many hemmorhoids he has.
