  • As Leslie Moonves Negotiates His Exit from CBS, Six Women Raise New Assault and Harassment Claims
    As Leslie Moonves Negotiates His Exit from CBS, Six Women Raise New Assault and Harassment Claims Illustration by Oliver Munday; source photograph by John Blanding / The Boston Globe / Getty Six additional women have accused the television executive of sexual misconduct, as the board of the CBS Corporation weighs the terms of his departure. By Ronan FarrowSeptember 9, 2018 Update: Three hours after the publication of this story, CNN reported that Moonves would step down from his position at CBS. Later the same day, CBS announced that Moonves had left the company and would not receive any of his exit compensation, pending the results of the independent investigation into the allegations. The company named six new members of its board of directors and said it would donate twenty million dollars to organizations that support the #MeToo movement and workplace equality for women. The donation will be deducted from any severance payments that may be due to Moonves. embers of the board of the CBS Corporation are negotiating with the company’s chairman and C.E.O., Leslie Moonves, about his departure. Sources familiar with the M board’s activities said the discussions about Moonves stepping down began several weeks ago, after an article published in the The New Yorker detailed allegations by six women that the media executive had sexually harassed them, and revealed complaints by dozens of others that the culture in some parts of the company tolerated sexual misconduct. Since then, the board has selected outside counsel to lead an investigation into the claims. As the negotiations continue and shareholders and advocacy groups accuse the board of failing to hold Moonves accountable, new allegations are emerging.

RACIAL SATIRE AND CHAPPELLE’S SHOW by KATHARINE P. ZAKOS Under the Direction of Mary Stuckey ABSTRACT This thesis examines Chappelle's Show’s use of racial satire to challenge dominant stereotypes and the effectiveness of that satire as a tool to achieve perspective by incongruity. I use a variation of D’Acci’s circuit of media study model to examine the institutional challenges and limitations on the show due to the context in which it was created, produced, and distributed; to interrogate the strategies employed by the show’s writers/creators to overcome these challenges through the performance of race; and to analyze the audience’s understanding of the use of racial satire through a reception study of the show’s audience. I argue that using satire often has the unintended consequence of crossing the line between “sending up” a behavior and supporting it, essentially becoming that which it is trying to discount, though this is not to say that its intrinsic value is therefore completely negated.

This long: Yikes. Quinn has come a long way since 1990, but unlike some of the comedians he came up with, like Jon Stewart and Ben Stiller, his career has been a series of, shall we say, lateral moves. Sure, he was the “Weekend Update” guy on Saturday Night Live for five years, but his movie career never quite took off ( A Night at the Roxbury , anyone?). He took up stand-up comedy after he quit drinking and needed something to take up his sudden surfeit of sober free time.

  • NEWSLETTER Vol
    July-August, 2011 NEWSLETTER Vol. 36, No. 7 SMCNC.ORG SUMMER IS GOLFING TIME (with thanks to Jack Murray) Golf! You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right. The lowest score wins. And on top of that, the winner buys the drinks. The term 'mulligan' is really a contraction of the phrase 'maul it again.' A ‘gimme’ can best be defined as an agreement between two golfers, neither of whom can putt very well. An interesting thing about golf is that no matter how badly you play; it is always possible to get worse. If your best shots are the practice swing and the 'gimme’ putt, you might wish to reconsider this game. Golf is like marriage: If you take yourself too seriously it won't work, and both are expensive. The best wood in most amateurs' bags is the pencil. If you find you do not mind playing golf in the rain, the snow, even during a hurricane, here's a valuable tip: your life is in trouble. JULY_AUGUST SPEAKERS (Meetings are at 10:00 a.m. in Morrill Hall, St. Mark’s Church, every other week in July and August.) Jul 8 SMC Member and First Selectman Jeb Walker will address the State of New Canaan. Jeb has been a resident of New Canaan since 1978. He received his BA from Georgetown University after which he served 6 years as a commissioned officer in the Army and was awarded the Bronze Star in Viet Nam. He joined IBM in sales and management.
