Im going to see Paula Poundstone tomorrow night and I am so freaking excited! I loved her from the late 90's to the 2000's. I had no money after that point to watch comedy on tv and to have internet so I am stoked about seeing her tomorrow!!!
How was the show? I remember listening to her in the 80s and absoluetly laughing my head off! Then she just left because her life got a little messy and it seems like she never quite got her footing back. I bet she was hilarious! I would love to see her come back huge!
If there is a god, I hope they are like Paula. She never fails to bring joy to my heart and make me laugh so hard people look concerned. Truly a blessing 😇
Is this true? Or is the sarcasm going over my head? Because that's why I loved Netflix, & HBO, etc. And THEN came commercials - unless you'd like to pay even MORE...😮💨
I love it when someone like this remains as talented as ever even as they "get up there" in age, which is more than can be said for many entertainers (that said, this is the first time I've ever seen her where she wasn't physically attractive, something she never gave herself nearly enough credit for).
The world and the people in it aren't the same... Things really were more simple back in the mid 90's and people had more of their own mind thoughts and views. Everyone is focused on their own crap and their agenda ect instead of not being afraid of laughing together at a single common cause or thing that we all identify as, we've become so divided and over easy to get offended, screw this current age in society. It's not that Paula sucks now, it's that the world changed and no one knows what to think unless they are told to do so and what to think.
Paula Poundstone demonstrates that she has totally lost her sense of comedic timing. The illustration of how MSNBC news anchors practically interview themselves went on FAR TOO LONG. Paula also appears as though she is now, what?, 75 years old.
Hi, 75 you say? What if she is 75, is that a crime? How old are you and what age do YOU look? Btw, what is your correlation about her comedy and how old she looks. I'm super dumb so if you could just spell out the importance and correlation between these two factors it would educate me.
I am so disappointed in Palla. She said to peer pressure by using filthy language. I felt that was one of her best features about her act was no vulgarity. It’s sad.😢
Wikipedia: In October 2001, Poundstone was charged with felony child endangerment in connection with driving while intoxicated with her children in the car. She was also charged with three counts of lewd acts upon a girl younger than 14.[16] The charge involved inappropriate touching of a 12-year-old girl.[17] In a plea bargain, she changed her earlier plea of not guilty, and in exchange prosecutors asked for the court records to be sealed, dropped three counts of committing lewd acts against a child, and added a misdemeanor count of inflicting injury upon a child.[16][17] Poundstone also pleaded no contest to one count of felony child endangerment.[17] She was barred from taking in foster children again, sentenced to five years of probation and six months in rehabilitation, and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service, attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and a child-abuse program, and receive random drug and alcohol tests.
She was, and is, an alcoholic. She adopts nothing but children with extreme special needs and has stated many times that not only would she never do anything to hurt them, she has stated in other contexts to being asexual.
Left off the rest of the piece: “In 2002, Poundstone talked about her personal responsibility for the events that led to her arrest and the steps she has taken, including a six-month treatment program for alcoholism, but she said that she did not commit any lewd acts or child abuse.”[17]

I love when Paula is on Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me!
I especially like it when she wins! 🤣
I think she is saying wait. Wait, I’ll handle this.
If there is a god, I hope they are like Paula. She never fails to bring joy to my heart and make me laugh so hard people look concerned. Truly a blessing 😇
I agree with what you said. But your first sentence is extremely funny because Paula Poundstone does not believe in God!
Agreed. I've watched her specials several times and surprisingly laughed EACH time😍 A true gem💎 ❤
True it is
There is a god…His name is Jesus Christ and He CREATED all of us! ❤❤❤
Great show! 😂 I've loved PP since,.. the 80's? 🤔 Damn... 😢😂😁

Adore her...

The Maine joke killed me😂😂😂
That was some narration 😅😂
Jermaine, it's Ask, not Ax
That is one of my pet peeves
When the English teacher thinks they own the language because none of the 10-year-olds ever thought to challenge them.
I love how she shows up drunk. Also glad she doesn't consume under age girls
