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

[JonFromMaplewood]

Sorry, Spike, but I believe that Stacey Morgan was a female panelist on the Gong Show.  She and Jamie Farr used to dance together and then simultaneously bang the gong when a really bad musician performed.

You're thinking of Jaye P. Morgan...

The banker? Bah!

[Terry From Cleveland]

I could see it being Judah Friedlander. Although he's not a legend, he fits the bill for everything else. Saw him at the East Village Comedy club and he made fun of the way I clapped (out of obligation, for one of his dumb jokes and the two drink minimum which became a four drink minimum because of my teetotalling girlfriend). I haven't clapped for anything since...

AP Mike.

I see you still got your claws out, Kitty.

Here's my candidate for a literary hack: Donald Barthelme.

I want to see what that dude looks like shaved, hair cut, and wearing adult clothes.

Check the Harry & The Hendersons episode, I think it's in season 3.

I laughed so hard at this. Imagining someone offended at someone clapping weioerd. Imagining someone clapping weird. How the hell can someone clap weird?

This is STACEY MORGAN.

I like Barthelme's short stories.  He can get precious, but so can they all.

Call screener Steve never would have knocked the great DB.

Uh oh, just checked out one of his books on a recommendation from Amazon

Try Forty Stories.

Mike is an unforgiving critic.  Barthelme may not be to everyone's taste, but "hack" isn't something it would occur to me to call him.

[JonFromMaplewood]

This is STACEY MORGAN.

Sorry, but I believe that is Stacy Keach.

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

I'll stand by both Donald Barthelme and Stacey L. Keach.

I think Tom's talking about Chaim Levine, if you know what I'm saying.

[Steve of Bloomington]

Whoever it is, I'd recommend staying out of Tom's octagon.

Interesting update to share with you all. I was listening to the episode: September 25, 2007: A Continuation Of The Legendary 'The Best Show On WFMU's 100 Top Movie Quotes'! It's Epic And It Makes Everyone Who Hears It Happy, So Listen! this afternoon when an interesting thing happened. A caller suggested a quote from the movie "Stripes." Tom, normally a Bill Murray lover, apologized to the caller and said he could not accept a quote from that movie for "personal reasons."

"You wanna know what? For personal reasons, 'Stripes' will never make the list. I had a problem with someone who co-wrote 'Stripes'...creep." - Tom

You know who co-wrote Stripes? Comedy "legend" Harold Ramis! I hereby change my official guess to Harold Ramis. Based on Tom's tweets + this new insight, it now seems totally reasonable and believable.

... and at least two other guys.

It was Zweibel.
