Who is the comedy-hack Tom's been bashing on Twitter?!?! - Official Guess Thread

[heliumsocket]

Yeah, and I guess neither one of them are "legends." And Wain is more of a director than a writer these days...

[mackro]

It's Eric Idle.

OK, it's not a serious guess at all, but combining all accounts of former Python colleagues, these rants describe someone very much like Eric Idle.  (Although, I thought Eric Idle wrote funny stuff, but was the lone writer, whereas the other Python members collaborated?)

[Christina]

2nd guess is Dick Ebersol

YOU TAKE THAT BACK.

[effecT]

Oh, man. It is DEFINITELY NOT Adam McKay. He is a brilliant guy.

Tom.

Tom's right.

Duly noted...
I was going on one instance of exposure to him and so i can't say i'm surprised that i was wrong.

[cavorting with nudists]

Hmmm, notice Tom did not deny that it was Andy Breckman.

[yesno]

Robert Benchley.

[Rhea from Winnipeg]

I thought that Andy Breckman was off the list? He was one of the first people mentioned. I can't imagine Tom saying that about the guy who gave him his first big break.

David Koechner?

I give up. It sure is fun to guess, though. :-)

[CSW]

Fun guessing game!

Who were the people who got meh or not funny on the HuffPo 50 list?



Ricky Gervais, Dave Chappelle, Craig Ferguson, Ellen DeGeneres, Tracy Morgan, Bill Maher, Mitch Hurwitz, Trey Parker/Matt Stone, Anderson Cooper, Jimmy Kimmel, Wierd Al.

I'm gonna assume it wasn't Carlin or Betty White as Tom seems to classy to diss a dead guy or an old lady.

Of those, not many could truly, truly be a legend.

I'm gonna guess at Hurwitz. People think he's a legend, and he was surrounded by the "right people" during Arrested Development.

With that said, I have no idea who Tom has and hasn't worked with, so I could be way off. And I guess there's also every chance it's not someone on that list.

[dave from knoxville]

You mean he's not talking about someone from Consolidated Cardboard?

[thom]

All signs point to Hurwitz.

Interesting... Go on.

Ha  The joke's on you:  I will be taking a bath, accompanied by a small glass of Jack Daniels.

Suckers.
