Rhys James was *ON FIRE* - funniest person in the room today!

[@flygonfiasco9751]

He’s got a leather jacket he’s gonna grow into

[@Luk317]

To be fair, there wasn't much competition this week. Felicity Ward is a terrible comedian lol

[@rgarlinyc]

@@Luk317 Are you "damning with faint praise"? 😄I agree that FW passing herself off as a comedian is blatant false advertising, but Ed and Hugh - not to mention Dara - are always seriously good!

@@Luk317 I have a dark sense of humor but found her comment to Rhys not seeing a Vagina was harsh. Other than that, I found her funny

Thank you so much for keeping we appreciative Americans in our weekly MTW treat!

[@pseudonayme7717]

It makes me happy to know that at least some of our American cousins are seeing MTW. Dunno why🤔 I hope you are also seeing QI, which is a nice bit of light relief from politics(even if it is politics in jest😄)

[@minear2003]

MTW and QI are both great!!!

[@philmace81]

Also American. My family is from a weird cluster of archaic towns in the Appalachians founded by boatloads of English and Scottish people. in the 70s and 80s only had really bad TV selection that includes PBS channels that only play British Comedies. Moved put into the wider world and cable TV didnt scratch that itch. Fortunately, after 20 years KZbin came to the rescue.

Biggest surprise to me in this episode is how good Darren Harriot looks now, compared to his appearance only 2 years ago. To my mind, he gives off vibes like a young Ving Rames combined with a middle-aged Eddie Murphy. Impressive, I say. 😁🧔🏿

Oh dear. For white Supremacists in this case, the definition is those not fitting into Hispanic, Mid East, Far East, African, African American, and any others not originally from UK and mainland Europe with a very pale complexion to match. But I see your problem. Just like the Germans saw the Jews, gypsies and handicapped/mentally challenged as inferior... you see these cultures as "non white" even though technically Jews can be from UK America Italy and Greece🤣🤣🤣.
