Talk:Bob Eubanks

Controversy
Should the section about a statement supposedly said by Bob Eubanks be kept in the article? The section seems to have the effect of keeping the anti-semetic joke alive. Was there a controversy because of that joke back in 1989? If not, then the section is inaccurate. --SMP0328. (talk) 06:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, this was and is a controversial statment. The quote alone wouuld be problematic, but there was controversy that ensued since it was said in a major motion picture. According to this news story,(http://www.ncbuy.com/news/2004-07-21/1010139.html), the quote cost Eubanks a job at CBS, and he was forced to issue an apology on Entertainment Tonight. IMDB carries the quote on the short Roger & Me quotes page. Michael Moore has spoken about the controversial quote in several articles which are accessible online. In short, Eubanks did damage control after the quote ran in the movie, and in return he accused Moore of being anti-semitic for documenting the quote. This spilled into Jewish newspapers, and if you do a simple Google search of the words Bob Eubanks and AIDS, you will see that the quote is still a source of controversy today. In the above referenced article, it said that Eubanks also addresses the issue and his displeasure with Moore in his book "It's In the Book, Bob." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.207.9 (talk) 03:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Television greats?
I know this article needs rewriting and better sourcing but this bit really stands out for me: "he was heavily influenced by television greats such as: Cary Grant, Howard Hughes, Buddy Hackett and his mentor/fellow game show host, Bill Cullen" Uh, "television greats" Cary Grant and Howard Hughes?
