Whenever I have a problem, a quandry, a controversy over a gay slur on the set of one of TV’s most watched shows, who is the person I’d turn to for words of wisdom?
Brad Garrett, of course.
Garrett, star of the fledgling Fox sitcom “Til Death” and former co-star of “Everybody Loves Raymond” told “Access Hollywood” on Saturday that he thinks the stir over “Grey’s Anatomy” star Isaiah Washington’s use of a gay slur toward co-star T.R. Knight, and his repeated use of it at the Golden Globe Awards last week is much ado about nothing.
“Should he be fired? For saying that word? Isaiah’s got to come to my show. We open every table read with words like this. I don’t know what it is Isaiah. I think they got to put him on a WB show, bring him down a notch,” Garrett told “Access.”
When he was asked if he thought things have become too politically correct, Garrett said, “Everything has gotten incredibly ridiculously P.C. and that’s what it is. Look I’m a 7-foot Jew with a small penis. I’m not laying my stuff on people, you know what I mean? God has a sense of humor and everyone’s got to mellow out … they’re words, they’re words. You know what I’m saying? We can say them in our craft; we can’t say them in real life.”
So sayeth Brad Garrett.
