"We're sitting in a stadium of people who want to get the joke. Waiting to get it. STILL waiting..." – Eugene S. Robinson 05.17.2026
The fights suck. Comedy sucks. Culture feels increasingly like a hostage situation where everybody knows the joke is dead but keeps waiting for permission to stop laughing. In this week’s Show Stomper, Eugene digs into race, performance, hack comedy, public humiliation as entertainment, and the strange transactional despair sitting underneath modern “fun.”
– It's Time Again For The Eugene S. Robinson Show Stomper!!!
