The Greatest Dirty Joke Ever Told

Frank Rich argues that the trauma of 9/11 intensified a cultural fight over freedom of expression in America, celebrating Gilbert Gottfried’s infamous Aristocrats routine at the Friars Club roast as a moment of shock therapy that helped a grieving city begin to live again. He uses the documentary The Aristocrats to show how comedians across generations push boundaries, even as their material unsettles power and propriety. Rich then critiques a rising decency police—embodied by Ted Stevens’s threats to regulate language, the censorship surrounding Deadwood, and bipartisan political correctness—that seeks to rewrite American history and culture to fit narrow agendas. He argues that vulgarity and frontier frankness are part of the nation’s birthright, and that suppressing them threatens the very essence of American freedom.

Peggy Siegal’s Oscar Diary

Peggy Siegal’s Oscar Diary is a vivid, insider’s chronicle of the 2012 Oscars season, weaving behind-the-scenes campaigning, red-carpet glamour, and the social machinery of awards week into a narrative of how a Best Picture winner is forged—highlighting 12 Years a Slave’s emotional campaign and Steve McQueen’s historic triumph, Gravity’s technical triumph and seven trophies, and the casting of Lupita Nyong’o, Cate Blanchett, Jared Leto, and Matthew McConaughey as defining stars of the year. It reveals the craft of targeting a precise emotion to move a voting bloc, the force of power players like Harvey Weinstein and Brad Pitt, and the nonstop orbit of exclusive dinners, sponsor-driven events, and fashion moments that color the race. Interwoven are Siegal’s personal moments—an eye infection, travel, and candid observations on industry rituals—culminating in a reflection on the intense pride in American cinema and a forward glance to Cannes.
