I've always heard that John Goodman is deeply closeted, shy, depressed, and eating disordered. So, that's sad.

I am on the smug-train for Cosby - always found him to be irritatingly smug. Sir, I do not want your damn pudding pops. Your offering them to me is not cute. Go away. And he rapes too. Whatta guy.
I went to see Mr Rogers in person as a child. I have a picture of us together. (I elbowed Lady Elaine out of the shot.)

All these TV dads are being ruined for me. Tim Allen is a conservative shitheel, Stephen Collins molested children, and all the stories about Cosby coming out over the years. If John Goodman turns out to be a secret scumbag, I'll die. NOT JOHN GOODMAN!!! I'm sorry, but Dan Conner was my fantasy husband when I was growing up. It will not be good for MMS (who is beginning to resemble John Goodman in girth as the years go by) if my epic crush is ruined.

Re: John Goodman. It depends on the criteria for being "kind of an asshole" before I start gnashing.

I have a friend who works as an assistant director in Hollywood who answered John Goodman when I asked her who was her favorite celebrity out of all of the people she's worked with.

Re: John Goodman. It depends on the criteria for being "kind of an asshole" before I start gnashing. In all fairness, I don't know what the neighbor's criteria was, which is why I tried (unsuccessfully, it seems) to deem it unreliable hearsay in my original post. Besides, even if JG is an ass, he can't be nearly as big an asshole as the subject of this thread has apparently turned out to be. If memory serves, this encounter with JG's neighbor was after I'd had a couple of 25-cent cosmos at Commander's and I was feeling mellow when he said it and didn't delve further. It was just funny to us at the time the guy said it and because of his drawling manner in so doing. One of us had asked neighbor what JG was like and he said, "well...he's kind of an asshole." Could be typical neighbor shit. I do recall that John Goodman's house was fantastically gorgeous. And regardless, I will forever have a soft spot for JG because of The Big Lebowski.

As I recall, he said young black people should stop using slang, listening to hip hop, having kids outside marriage and engaging in petty crime - none of which Cosby does. He had numerous affairs outside of his marriage and one of the offspring of the woman he cheated with could have been his lovechild. She was later shown not to be but the possibility very much existed. As for the rest, he's allegedly harrassed, drugged, and assaulted women. Listening to hip-hop, using slang, and even petty crime pale in comparison and, frankly, is an irrelevant detail. If he's wagging his finger at some black kid for using slang because it's destructive to the black community when it's far more destructive to drug and rape someone, he's a hypocrite of the highest order.Especially since some of his victims/accusers were white women, which plays into one of the most notorious taboos about race in our society. Bill ought to know some people in the black community will drag him for that. He should know better. I'm not defending Bill Cosby('s predatory behavior) at all. However, if he's going to go there with his criticism, he should have much cleaner hands (or at least speak to why people should listen to him despite whatever skeletons he has in his closet).

It's so disappointing. I loved Fat Albert, I watched the Cosby Show, and my best friend from elementary school and I would put on Bill Cosby's stand-up comedy albums and our bellies would be sore for days because he made us laugh so hard. He dork-danced with pudding while wearing grandpa sweaters. He was America's Dad! And then this stuff started to come to light. Bleh.
I have a soft spot for John Goodman too, he's known for being a comic actor but he's such a good actor of any genre. He'd have to blowtorch a litter of puppies to get me to hate him.
