Comedian Paul Rodriguez fallen on hard times?

I was going to start a WHET thread, then I found this from Nov. He used to be big time A-list comedian.

He's also a Trumper if I recall.

How is he different from George Lopez and Paul Reiser?

I didn't read the article, but if his income came mostly from touring, then yeah I could see how 2020 would have taken him down. If he wants to come back instead of lemon farming maybe switch to some anti-Trump stand up would work out better for him. Seriously Paul, read the room.

He also gay-bashed in his act, and plagiarized to boot. Sam Kinison said "how does a guy look at another guy's hairy ass and fall in love?" Rodriguez only changed the words slightly. "How does a guy look at another guy's furry butt..."

So yeah. Fuck him. Good luck with your Fresno lemons, Paul.

He wasn't funny 30 years ago, and comedy doesn't improve with age, no matter how much Gary says it does.

Riser was better looking when he was younger.

He is part owner of the Laugh Factory. Celebrities are not broke like the rest of us. If he is really hard up he can sell his farm and his share in the Laugh Factory

Wow. He used to be a somebody back in the 80s and early 90s. Oh well.

The home he bought his parents wasn’t insured. How fucking stupid.

His IMDb shows he has worked a lot. Not sure what they mean by hard times.

Bitch, go farm those lemons—but you can’t make lemonade standing by Orange.

Fascinating.

His "comedy" became more angry and political, particularly when the George Lopez show was canceled. I don't know what it is about ABC sitcom stars; their sets seem to become a breeding ground for entitled, substance abusing, right wing malcontents.

Here's the intro to his short-lived ABC sitcom.

Why the question mark, OP? The second sentence in your linked article clearly reads:

[quote] But the funny man who calls Fresno home has fallen on tough financial times.

Not a mystery.

He still has the land, even if you believe this sob story. I don’t. But even if it is true...what do you expect when you champion fascism in a democracy where people have died to protect it? He is a disgrace to all the slain veterans who died for democracy.

And he thought becoming a Trumper would help things? Wow. Some people are just too fucking stupid.

Maybe he couldn't tour during the pandemic, but how does a guy like this not have a lot of money socked away? At a certain point you are not the hot new act and you can't count on a continuing income stream from working, or not that much of one anyway. Is this really a mystery?

by Anonymousreply 20November 19, 2022 12:52 AM

I never found him funny. He can suck those lemons.
