Nearly lost my lunch! Watching "Eddie" on youtube, and there is TRAITOR**. he

claims, in the clip (falsely, naturally), that the idea of hiring Eddie (Whoopi) as the Knicks coach was his. also gets a passing mention at another point. Most annoying.

The movie came out in 1996. he is still using the same schtick.

Now he's the Republicans' monster. But celebrity culture created him first. Remember Robin Leach?

why can't we do the same with '90s movies containing Cheetolini? Seems like a slam-dunk. Or use a little CGI to give him a makeover. Now Kevin can walk through the Plaza hotel and ask directions of a mute pile of rags and filth. Redundancy?

Admittedly, I'm a sucker for sports movies & a long time Whoppi fan.
I remember him being in that movie pretending to be a big business titan.
Not exactly a stretch.
He's been pretending at success since before college.
