Skum List

[Kal_El]

Being relatively new to the whole Best Show thing, I always hear Tom talk about his Skum List and I'm wondering who all is on there and how they got there. I know what Gary Schandling, Mickey Dolenz, and Chuck Woolery did but I'm wondering about others. For instance, did Olivia Munn do anything specifically to Tom or does he just hate her for being untalented/dumb/annoying?

I believe the event he mentioned was that she went to a convention of (I think African-American) Christians and sort of did a humiliating interview routine with them. Plus the things you mentioned.

I recall Tom mentioning this thing Olivia Munn did where she was trying to make fun of some nerds at a con by pretending to be into them but they were aware of what she was doing so it kind of failed in multiple ways, but I think that was just in the context of generally not liking her.

This was the way I remember it too.  Same thing with the nerd thing where she infiltrated the group to make fun of them, and then when it backfired she started crying about how she was a woman so they shouldn't be mean to her or something.

I don't remember exactly what it was but it was basically about her making fun of people and then trying to take the high ground.....Playing both sides.

 Back to the original question, does anybody have a complete list of people who are on the skum list and how they got there?

I don't actually remember the term "scum list" being used as a thing. There are several threads on this board, however, concerning the Hate Pit and who's in it:

Skum List debuted and left on October 2, 2012.  It was a variation of the hate pit

October 2, 2012: A call from DC PIERSON, witness to true rage. Chuck Woolery blocks Tom on Twitter. Romney staffer Ben Dublin tries to make up some demographic ground. Topic: ‘Credit Where Credit is Due.’ Little Steven Kickstarts The Rascals. Plus, Tom's 'Skum List!'

Didn't he invent trap? I think that's a good enough reason to put him in.
