The only name I know is Andrew Dice Clay. I have seen his act. It didnt "offend" me but I never thought he was that funny. He was crude and I like crude if it is done well. It is a fine line.

I remember that at least Nora Dunn refused to be on that week's episode with Clay, and maybe some of the other female staff also took the week off. I dont remember the episode or his bits, but Clay has never came up in articles about the worst guest hosts and/or guest hosts barred from ever returning because of bad behavior or going off script.

Andrew Dice Clay didnt last long as a comedian. However, Clay himself is a good actor. He was in a Woody Allen movie called "Blue Jasmine" which I have seen several times. His role is that of a normal, working class guy. I dont know if he has been in other things but he should, his comedic character was sort of a fad which went away in the 1990's.
