      Eminem is still going strong , the reason he isnt "canceled" is because he doesn't responed. Most people either try to apologize with a non apology apology or double down which leads to them being canceled. Also people have every right to tell some they're sack of shit and no longer buying your product in the very same way people are allowed to say shit that gets them canceled.

    I'll second (or third or fourth or 17th) many of the comments that Charles Rocket doesn't belong on this list.
    • For starters, he was part of a massive housecleaning at SNL, but that happened later when Dick Ebersol replaced Jean Doumanian. The only two repertory cast members to come back for Season 7 were Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo. So Rocket could have said "Oh, man, this is the first time I've ever been shot... I'd like to discover the identity of the perpetrator," and he still would have been gone before season's end.
    • "It took Rocket a couple of years and a few smaller roles before he began getting steady work once more." The first part is true: he went two years with no screen credits. As for the rest of it, his career was pretty comparable with many an alum from the SNL cast, even people who had sizable tenures at Studio 8H. i.e. Rocket's exit from SNL may have had little bearing on his subsequent career.
    • Paul Shaffer preceded Rocket in dropping an F-bomb on SNL He wasn't fired for it, so it follows that Rocket wasn't fired solely based on that one act.
    • Some maintain Rocket did it on purpose, myself included. But Damon Wayans famously took a dive during an SNL sketch to get himself fired. He got the axe, and yet went on to a successful career that's still chugging along today.
    TL;DR Rocket didn't destroy his career. At most, he might have delayed it a bit. Show biz is just a fickle beast.

      The significance of a Grammy or an Oscar or Golden Globe award is overblown. The moment that just getting nominated is treated as a big deal was the moment that the shine started to smudge
      They use the fact that a person has received or been nominated for one as a way to inflate the quality of whatever project they are currently involved in
      It’s not that earning an award or accolade is meaningless, it’s just that if I won a Pulitzer Prize for outstanding journalism 20 years ago, and that’s slapped at the top of every article I write from that point onward, people might think that I’m ~still~ putting out excellent work or that I still have integrity (even if I’m in auto-pilot mode)
      That’s just a general point as CK’s award was very recent, but that doesn’t really mean much given his prior heights of success
      If he keeps up the work and people believe that he’s not the same guy that (temporarily) crashed & burned his career, then we could see him return to TV/movies, but as it stands, his current situation isn’t on the same level as he was before ~he~ was exposed… for exposing himself
      ------
      Edit:
      The thing I was gonna mention earlier was that if an actor earns an Academy Award and then does a couple throw away bad movies for a quick payday, those bad movies will mention the high caliber of the actor as much as possible so that people might think the movie is better than it really is. After all, there’s no chance that a top level actor would ever do a bad movie… 🙄

But I’m sure you guys neglected to find out that information since you guys always get things wrong on this channel. You know, like that time you said that Star Wars had the number one greatest opening credits sequence of all time despite the fact that no Star Wars movie has ever had any opening credits whatsoever, and Steven Spielberg was actually prevented from directing return of the Jedi specifically for that reason because it went against DGA rules. So I would recommend that this channel maybe start doing its research but I’ve been recommending that for years and you haven’t done it yet, so I don’t expect you to start anytime soon.

Who among us that remembers 20 years ago, DOESN'T have some inappropriate shit 20 years ago? It was a different time. We had different priorities. We used different words. Calling someone a "retard" was not necessarily a pejorative, that was an actual term used by medical professionals. A "faggot" was used as a pejorative, but also that's what they were called. Like using the word "bitch" to describe a female dog, well yes that's just what they're called, but it's also a pejorative against women. If you dug up some of the crap I texted on my old nokia from 20 years ago, hell yeah you'd find some dirt. Because it wasn't dirt at the time. Hell a cheeseburger becomes dirt after 20 years.

    What cancelled Griffin for me was her reaction when it became clear her idea of joke was clearly huge mistake.
    Not her tasteless stunt, it happens, all comedians cross some lines from time to time in attempt to test waters and figure out what works and what doesnt but if she just admitted it was disrespectful for many, and simply bad joke, it wouldn't have to be apology just mere acknowledgement of her misjudging the audience and general mood and having poor taste.
    But no- she went on woe is me world tour, and apparently its still her main schtick even after all those years, and turned herself in victim of her own idea and her own action, and as is usual today she made it all about her age( while her target is like one whole generation older than she is) and her sex.

      @@rehurekj Okay, you obviously didn't see the video or conference right? Don't take my word for it, look it up. She apologized TWICE in fact: first in a recorded video at her home immediately after the photo broke and then, when things got savage in the press conference, again as I already referenced with lawyer Lisa Bloom where she was in tears. The cancel culture requests got worse and worse and she was ostracized and virtually crucified for it, so then she rebuilt herself, went on tour outside the nation and yes, she rescinded her apology and referenced many rappers and others who had said and done worse with no repercussions. And of course Trump went on to do more and egregious things that actually affected the entire nation in measurable ways (trying to convince an official to rig votes, denying a valid election that even all his closest advisors knew was legit, encouraging insurrectionists and division (ego before country), refusing to return highly classified documents, etc. which was all AFTER Kathy's photo scandal) yet he seemed to get by with it for a long time. And Kathy paid a huge price for an admittedly tasteless photo that she said was at the end of a long shoot and they were trying to think of something shocking or that would gain attention. But again, no one defends the wisdom of that choice. She suffered disproportionately though for an instance of poor taste and judgement (and then, was ravaged by cancer losing her hair and then voice) but she is a survivor. What will Trump's repercussions be however? That I would agree is far more important.

Would that have been more acceptable or would he have still been cancelled. People have weird fetishes. If you are not into that type of thing. Say no rather than say, "Sure ... why not" and then stick around for a few hours after he finishes.
