The November 2, 2024 episode of Saturday Night Live (SNL) ran a spoof campaign advertisement in which Harvey Epstein (played by host John Mulaney) repeatedly affirms that he is not convicted sex offenders Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein or some amalgamation thereof. Harvey Epstein, who is a regular SNL viewer, was surprised at the sketch and told The New York Times that he found it “ridiculously funny” and encouraged readers to support survivors of sexual abuse by donating to RAINN.

Seems like a good sport.
First name related?
Harvey is a common Asian surname.
Are Weinsteins commonly Asian?
I’m pretty sure Asians are the most common in general, so… maybe.

It’s a pretty common surname. I feel sorry for people who have it.
I recently read the book “Impure Science”, by Steven Epstein (very good philosophy of science book). It always made me slightly uncomfy whenever I saw it cited as (Epstein, 1996), because that surname inevitably makes me think of Jeffrey Epstein. It must suck to have those connotations attached to your name. Makes me glad that my surname is non descript
Why? Nondescript is an extremely unusual surname.
I would legit change my name. Not saying that they should but I couldn’t live with the correlation
Maybe he’s related to Harvey Dent then? That’s how given names work, right?
“First names dont indicate familial relationsh…” sees kanji in username “…oh never mind, carry on”
Opposites cancel, making him the least sex pest in the US
not a lot of Hitlers get elected any more.
Only the one Hitler
Sonuvabitch, you beat me to it.
Yep.
Literal first thing I thought of: how is this person real?
No not the name, the face.
Ya know what grinds my gears? This American penchant for pronouncing Germanic names incorrectly. Like ‘stein’ as ‘steeeen’. EpstEEN. WeinstEEN (even more frustrating, that last one, as the ‘ei’ is pronounced how it ‘should’ be, but not the second occurrence!).
Even the people with these names often insist themselves on these pronunciations. I mean it’s their right ultimately, it’s their name after all – but why/where/how did this pronunciation take root in the USA?
I was taught in German class that ‘ei’ is always a long ‘i’ – hence ‘schtIne’ not ‘stEEEn’. Hmmph.
Same with Robert ‘Muller’. His name’s spelled Mueller, so by German language rules it would seem it should be pronounced ‘Müller’ (‘ue’ in English being a substitute for the umlauted ‘u’).
I guess it falls out of what appears to be an American myopic view that everyone else has ‘accents’ and they must be purged from American speech since it’s ‘foreign’…
Grumble grumble… OK, I am done my little rant now.
For me, it’s the Bergs. Bööörk.
hey that’s my city councilman, he’s been in the NY state assembly for a while, he’s just replaced the talented but term limited Carlina Rivera
Who’s Jeffery?
