Howard, this week, saying something like this: "I am really pissed at Sal. He refused to do a cock sword fight with Richard. He said 'I don't do that'. What does he think he was hired for? His wit? He was hired to run around with his cock out." and on and on with Robin doing a little piling on...
I am not a fan of Sal. He makes up stuff to get air time. He is often feeling sorry for himself. He is a bigot. He's usually not funny to me (he has done a few great bits). But here's a guy who has put in thousands of hours doing phony phone calls, going through William Shatner, Dolly Parton and endless other audio books to patch together unfunny bits, going to Harlem to conduct demeaning interviews of homeless people... etc etc. He has, I think, worked his ass off to please Howard. Yet Howard, dictator style, dismisses all of that with a wave of his hand because Sal balked at doing a homo bit (I am sure he could envision his sons getting ridiculed for doing said sword fight). That's Howard in monster mode.
