Rainn Wilson says “The Office” probably wouldn’t be made today, telling Fox News Digital that media trends have shifted left and that cancel culture makes it difficult for edgy comedies to thrive.

    “Ricky Gervais couldn’t have a career today”

    I thought you were arguing against cancel culture?

      Ricky Gervais, who pivoted from being the unfunny part of a comedian trio where his only contribution was laughing like a hyena to literally only having a career BECAUSE he’s complaining about cancel culture every single day? catgirl-huh

          being anti-religion when the bush administration was having a crusade was a cultural moment. we could use some more of that wrt trump orbiters.

        Hey. You’re mixing up Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais. Ricky would sometimes call Karl stupid for not knowing things, or for thinking something was one way when he believed it was another (And he was usually wrong).
