While promoting his upcoming new FX series, professional Oscars host Billy Crystal recently launched into a homophobic tirade about all the icky gay sex happening on TV lately, telling Television Critics Association, “Sometimes I think, ‘Ah that’s too much for me.’ Sometimes, it’s just pushing it a little too far for my taste.”
The 66-year-old veteran suffered some criticism for his remarks, and had to double-down.
Now, actor Michael Urie has responded to Crystal’s comments in the best way possible.
Speaking to the blog NewNowNext, the ‘Ugly Betty’ star, Urie said: “I don’t think it’s overexposed. If gay sex on TV is too much for you, change the channel and don’t watch it.”
“I think there is far too much football on TV,” he continued. “But I’m not going around saying they should take football off the air; I’m changing the channel.”
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
kitodiaries 
Yeah!
LOL!
I love this guy from ugly Betty! He and Mandy always cracked me up and I hated when the series was stopped.
Seeing as I love football and a proud Red Devil, I will not comment on the football line!
LOL
He was talking about “American” football dennis,not “soccer”. Lol
Lolz! Chestie, easy on him; he was colonized by the British.
@jboy: those “red devils”(red imps!) get on my last nerve; I had to pinch him somewhere! Lol
I taya! To us here football means soccer and not American football!
I’m British biko! Even David Beckham kept mixing them both up when he was signed to the LA Galaxy!
So Chestie have a seat biko and a mug of coffee to go!
Hehehe…dennis calm down jor!u red devils are always doing somehow,somehow…#Yimu
The series wasn’t stopped. Ugly Betty wrapped.
Honey, no series ever wraps… It wraps when its stopped.. If the ratings keep soaring, they ain’t stopping.. That’s how it works..
@Dennis I’m beginning to think that “we” Red Devils are all … #okbye
That we like boys? Hell yea!
Gbam! Nne, i kwutere ya.
Hian*
Nne kwa?
Issokay!
Only the NNEs do this good with retorts. *hailing* Ndi Nne Mama! Onye sokwa?!
Anyi sokwa oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh! Lol!
JB, where have u been?
Period!!!!, this guy was diabolical on ugly Betty, I loved it. Its so annoying how everyone got a happy ending and d series ended.
Simpu. I get tired of watching wrestling – i change the channel; i get tired of watching cricket – i change the channel; i get tired of shagging some guy – i change the channel.
Wait…u get tired of watching wrestling? I’m sorry,but I NEVER get tired of watching wrestling…and rugby…#OkBye
Wrestling and Rugby? Erm you and I need to spend time together sometime!
Those are my two fav sports, especially rugby
Chestnut!!!!, *sideeyeing you right now*
Ah rugby! I swear I don’t understand the rules,but beefy men with thick thighs and thick buns in short shorts,chasing and catching and groping and grinding and pressing and rubbing and humping one another orgy-style? What other rules do I need to understand biko? The game is very very clear to me!
LMAO!!!!!, of course it is. I always wonder is all rugby and baseball players do squats, the cakes on those men are cray cray.
@Mercury: it’s d game that gives them those amazing cakes and thighs…plus,they consume a lot of protein too!
Its the gayest game ever … The things they do to each other on the pitch..
I never watched Ugly Betty (dodges stones & shrapnel) but I loved him his 1 season series Partners and his Modern Family cameo….both are still in my laptop. Change the freaking channel, dude! I skip most of E!, reality shows, all of Africa Magic and boring sports like cricket. Rugby is only cool for me in highlights leaving football (soccer, PP :-p) and tennis as my sports loves.
Gooner forever here!
I love watching music channels, cartoon channels, movie channels, fashion channels.. (:
Me too. I don’t think I can survive without cartoons and music videos!
Cartoons? Seriously?
@Dennis: yea,seriously! Nothing beats watching “Tak and the Power of juju” with ur little nephews,while eating pancakes…*sigh*I miss those tiny terrors!
Same here!
Hey, and up Red Devils.
*brandishing pitchfork*
****fist pump****
Go back to hell! U 3-5-2 abomination of a team :p
#I’mJestingOh
So says a “Goner”,perennial underachievers.
MacAndry! Dont mind them! Wenger is buying signing twinks that will give him head in the locker room instead of buying players that can actually play.
Its nice that your overacheieving side take the midweek off on European nights *sips Ribena*
Mere bump on the road,columan.
Still better than those bogged down in miry
clay.
We thank God for you though,you overcame
Brighton so maybe there’s hope yet for you
that side.
Billy Crystal in this pic looks like a demon..climaxing.
ago mu ooo. Chizzie, you have a way with words
There’s DEFINITELY way too much football AND soccer on tv. I have been registering my displeasure since I was 4.
Well said! U didn’t even go the line of hetero sex scenes, IT IS EVERYWHERE!
Football gives me A migraine although I don’t mind d hunks nd d thigh flashing occasionally! I just change the channel to E! Nickoledeon, MTV or African Magic! Case close! ***flees***
I love Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, MTV Base, Trace, CNN, Aljazeera and Channels News…..Mr man change channel or throw away ur TV
I saw what PP did with that pic he put up.. Continue.
