91. Josh Blue is not retarded , it's called a physical disability but that term probably is too advanced and sophisticated for you to comprehend.As someone who knows Josh I am sure he would laugh off your ignorance.
VOTE JOSH BLUE LAST COMIC STANDING!

92. He was not mugged....... First of all all the security in hotels in Omaha, no way she could have gotten in and also as was stated above by an Omaha resident it would have made news and papers. It's a plubicity stunt ppl.........that looks like back fired on him....... Too bad I loved him as Screech back when he was ynger.. Now he is just a guy out for a quick buck and fame again........Sorry your time is up....MOVE ON

93. OH common people. He is an actor. He has to make a living and as a child actor most of them don't get the time to go to college. Some do but they take a break in their careers. Some cannot afford to take that break. You there and then your gone. We the public are the ones putting these actors out of work.

When companies downsize you don't like it. You don't want your job phased out. Why would you expect an actor or child actor to feel any other way? He is built up by the studio's, fans, managers and then DROPPED.

If anything Justin might need a new line of work but its hard when its all you know. Try some compassion instead of he's a freak, he's got his 15 minutes. Might we say that about you and your job performance?

94. Mohamed

As the mother of a special needs child. I am outraged at your comments about being "Retared" That word isn'teven used anymore. So if this guy is JEWISH is doesn't mean he knows anything about money. He got rich off of his fame and can't hanle the outside world. He needs to get money the easy way. By Fame. Now please in the future respect people with special cahllenges..............and yes GROW UP. Do we need to get into your name?

95. Great now he's gonna do a "almost mugged tour" asking for thousands of dollars to help with the mental anguish and emotional suffering that he has had to endure. All I can say is that it couldn't have happened to a NICER guy......NOT

96. Mohamed &Rowena
I would have to agree w/ Kris that you are the retarded one per you can't spell at a 5th grade level. Apparently you don't know the whole story either. He wasn't in bankruptcy or foreclosure. Screech was in a land contract type deal and the owner screwed him over, selling to a land contractor. Watch a little more tv or spend some more time surfing news sites before you belittle others.

100. You've got to be f***ing kidding me...this is news??!!

101. I have watched Josh Blue all this season...the guy is awesome!! He's turned his disablility into a very positive abaility! People say he's retarded....they say he's a fool and all that...excuse me...those big mouths haven't got anything going for themselves except the ability to 'down' others to make they're pitiful life seem better to themselves!
I definitely applaud Josh's bravery for turning his disability around into something very positive for himself and very entertaining for others!!! Those fools who insult him and put him down....they should have 1/4 the determination Josh has...then maybe they too could have a real life!

104. Sorry for using retarded, but I wanted to get the point across to Mohamed. My brother is profoundly handicapped,so I do understand the meaning of the word. Plus, he did actually pin the woman, not let her get away. There's nothing wrong w/ that. He makes a good living as a stand-up, he was just in a tight spot when it came to his house issue. He has a family to keep. Can all of you come up w/ money to pay off your house w/n 30 days if need be?

105. now we all know that he picked up a hooker and she ripped him off
