Rob Schneider is getting no respect at all. First, Roger Ebert savages him. Today, the NY Times has a puff piece about the Daily Show’s Steve Carel that has this paragraph:
If Mr. Carell does, in fact, emerge as the film-comedy hot property, competing for roles against the likes of Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughan, Will Ferrell (or, if things go horribly wrong, Rob Schneider), he will undoubtedly owe much of his success to the cachet that comes from his four years in the cast of “The Daily Show,” where he honed the deadpan obliviousness that led to “Bruce Almighty” (where he arguably outshone Jim Carrey), “Anchorman” and “The Office.”
Not that he deserves any respect, but, man… I dated a girl who thought the ‘Making Copies’ routine on SNL was the height of hilarity. I was not so impressed.
