News You Can Use: And something slightly more amusing than JM wondering how


many genders there are.

Now here at NYCU, we generally differ from commenting on Pravda entertainers, frankly finding them anything but entertaining. And we have never been completely sure of the sanity of viewers whose entertainers constantly maintain no one should take anything they say as truthful. But good old Laura deserves a nod.

Here is the set up:

Raymond Arroyo, a conservative commentator and regular guest, mentioned the Netflix production (of a show called YOU) as part of a discussion on TV shows and a rightwing perception that they are sympathetic to leftwing points of view, including around vaccines and Covid-19.

And that's when Laura played Abbott & Costello, here the transcript a link follows.

“I was watching an episode of You when measles came up,” said Arroyo .

Looking puzzled, Ingraham interrupted. (We guess she isn't as woke up as she thinks.)

“Wait, wait, wait,” she said. “When did I mention measles?”

“I don’t know,” said Arroyo. “It was on You.”

“What was on me?” Ingraham asked. “What are you talking about?”

“The measles and the vaccine episode was on You,” said Arroyo.

Ingraham became visibly annoyed.

“We never did a measles and vaccine episode. Is this a joke?”

“I know!” Arroyo yelled, waving his arms furiously. “It was on You! It was on You!”

“Raymond!” Ingraham said. “I’ve never had measles. What are you talking about? This is stupid!”

Arroyo tried to explain: “It was an episode of a show, Laura.”

“What’s it called”?”

“You! You! It’s called You.”

Ingraham still didn’t get it.

“What’s he talking about? I’ve just never done a show on measles. I completely give up.”

(Mercifully the director cancelled the rest of the interview.)
