Dolores Claiborne & The Kiss (Air Date: 1/23/99)

Happy Splatterday, Mutants!

Tonight we have the infamous ep that got JB in a lot of hot water for his Kathy Bates comments. Apparently a lot of angry letters were sent to TNT & the High Sheriffs told him he couldn’t make jokes about her any more.

I especially love the letter in this bc they compare JB to Norm Macdonald. I told them both that all the time, and they both said they’d heard that a lot, since the 90s. I was hoping to get to do a funny lil’ bit with them playing off that, but sadly it wasn’t meant to be. 😞

It’s also the ep that aired the week before his big Super Bowl appearances. I’m gonna try to get every bit of footage that exists from his Miami adventures spiffied up and posted for ya this week (even though I’m kinda boycotting the Super Bowl this year…It feels wrong to celebrate when Tom Brady *claims* to be leaving us.)

Here are the times codes for ya. Enjoy & have fun tearing the heart outta Splatterday Night, Patreon Pals! ❤️
