Squeal of Fortune! Answer Revealed!

Nobody guessed all three answers, although Biff and Professor Dungpie came frightfully close. and I appreciated tiefighter 25’s echoed comments. And Beau Brooks is mentioned further down in the post.

Here's the answers from yesterday's Squeal of Fortune:

Talk show host:
JOE FRANKLIN

Comedian:
SARAH SILVERMAN

Documentary
THE ARISTOCRATS

In August of 2005 The Aristocrats came out and featured a bunch of comedians telling the world’s dirtiest joke. This is a joke that everyone spins differently and Sarah claimed to have been part of the act. Here’s a clip of it:

Here’s a Wikipedia entry on the subject:
A minor controversy also arose over Silverman's performance in the documentary film The Aristocrats released in August 2005. The film, in which numerous comedians tell a famously ribald improvisational joke, featured Silverman giving an apparently autobiographical account of her life as a child sex performer. During the course of the act she mentions how Joe Franklin, a New York radio and TV personality whose nostalgic programs have aired since the early 1950s, would ask her to perform privately for him in his apartment. The act finished with Silverman looking at the camera and, in a deadpan voice, accusing Franklin of having raped her. After the film came out, Franklin took offense to Silverman's performance, concerned that it would hurt his reputation, and considered suing Silverman. When pressed by the New York Times in September 2005 over whether he would sue, he remained undecided, but said, "the best thing I could do is get Sarah better writers so she'd have funnier material.

Uh, Joe, she writes her own material. Asshole!

And Beau Brooks commented that Wendy Liebman was in the Aristocrats, I love this film and she turned the whole joke around and this was probably the most original version of the joke, enjoy!

Thanks to everyone for playing and we’ll see you all next week on...SQUEAL OF FORTUNE!

You're right, Marty, Wendy's is the best!
And Sarah should do her act in lingerie all the time, it would be much better.
(PS what exactly IS Joe Franklin's reputation? just wonderin'...)

joe franklin is benjamin's resentful younger brother. see, ben was giving him all sorts of guff...tripping him, hittin him in the head with a football, taping "kick me" signs on his back...and finally, a fed-up joe said, "gosh darn it, ben! go fly a kite!" and the rest, as we all know, is history. ben got all sorts of endorsements (including the very first nike contract) and swag bags and hot girlfriends (hey paris, did you intentionally not wear undies or did the LIGHTning blow 'em off?) and joe had to just sit in his apartment in new york city and rape young comedians whenever he could. it's a bitter pill to swallow. and i'm not just talkin' about joe's dick.
