Richard Belzer - Conspiracy Theorist & ATS Member

This man is just completely awesome. I read his book several years ago and had a great laugh.

The man is my friggin hero!

So he's more then a celebrity? He's written a book about conspiracies and he's quite a funny guy. Great.

I have always loved his humor and from his participation in the latest Friar's roast of comedian Pat Cooper,

I am hoping he was brushing up on his delivery in preparation for the

Revolution webcast, does he plan to attend?


I would love to see some fun being poked at our ATS staff & members.

I can't wait!!

"Boy, does this dais [bleep]," said roastmaster Lisa Lampanelli as she glared at the likes of Freddie Roman, Michael McKean, Tony Roberts, Al Roker, Artie Lange, LeRoy Neiman, Michael Spinks, Bill Boggs, Joe Franklin, Opie and Anthony, Richard Belzer, Danny Aiello and Gary Dell'Abate. "The last time I heard these names I was playing Trivial Pursuit, the who gives a [bleep] edition."

If her were to start out by discussing the funniest bone in Springer's body, I think we'd all be in trouble.

Is he already a staff member, or maybe a mod?

I guess if time will tell then that means you won't?

I have always thought of him as cool and well thought/spoken.

I remember in one episode he had a rather lengthy diatribe about the JFK assassination that sounded out of place. I'm guessing then he wrote that bit in himself. Pretty cool to hear he is on here.


He also is a fan of Bill Hicks and anyone a fan of Hicks is ok in my book.

He's not a mod. he's a conspiracy theorist (he's introduced that way on Bill Maher). I'll leave it at that for now.

The guy's definitely a riot. And by all accounts a pretty decent actor (and I'm probably one of a handful of people who have never seen the cop show he's been on).

Plus he knows how to get a house in France the hard way.

Okay, then I will just wait and see.

I don't like to make a fuss about someone just because they are a celeb, but this guy is really sharp and direct in his approach.

I remember him seeing him on something a long time ago and he was far ahead of others with his on point discussion and at that time unpopular questioning of the political maliase.

I look forward to any contribution he makes to this site.

Welcome Richard!

I've never seen any of the Law and Order shows (that is his show, right?)

Funny story, when Springer and I first learned we were going to be "working" with him, I mentioned that I knew very little about him, other than his appearances on Bill Maher and the usual talk show route and the always hysterical roasts. I did mention the only two "acting" gigs I remembered seeing him in. One was as Detective Munch (his L&A character) in Elmopalooza and the other was an old movie called Groove Tube. The Groove Tube scene I remembered was a riot and cannot be discussed on this family friendly site.

We then googled him and found some famous quotes from some of his roast appearances. Google Richard Belzer Chevy Chase roast and you'll find a gem that Springer actually mentioned and Sir Belzer was kind enough to repeat.

If I actually had the capacity to hate another human being I think Bill Maher would top my list.

If RB is in fact a conspiracy theorist, I can't see him getting along with BM. Then again I don't watch BM's show.

The more time we spend with people in various levels of "the media" the more we witness a similar reluctance... the "truth movement's" tactics have tainted the idea of 9/11 conspiracies.

Is it really the "truth movements" tactics? Or is it some agency "pretending" to be truthers? You know, how cops will dress up to look like protestors and start a riot so everyone will get arrested. It's an old tactic.

I think the truthers in question are the We Are Change group that protested on BM's show.Possible they could be gov't run I guess.

Anyway,great to hear that the Belz will be joining us here.One of the greatest moments I can remember on Bill Maher is when BM had Ann Coulter live via satellite and Belz said something along the lines of "She's nothing but a fascist party doll!". You gotta love that.

I really don't think it's that big of a deal that Richard Belzer is here. Yes, his charachter from Law and Order-SVU is awesome, a carry-over charachter from Homocide: Life on the streets. I love the personality he gives him.
But, as for his conspiracy theorist moniker? C'mon. We're all conspiracy theorists and we all have deductive reasoning, we all just don't have the connections he does nor the spotlight potential. Being famous doesn't make you right. Unfortunately, being right doesn't make you famous.

But welcome, Richard, to ATS. I hope you can be yourself here as well as I hope people will LET you be yourself here.

As for OTHER "celebs" I'd like to see here?

-Ted Nugent
-Tom Morello
-Mel Gibson
-Nicolas Cage

And a host of others.

This echo's what I've been thinking. If he posts here, damn, let him kick off his slippers and chill. Be part of the community. Yeah people know him but can you imagine the stress that goes along with that? What if he just wants to share? Be Rick, not the L&O guy. What's wrong with that? Get over it guys, please.

If I were famous,I would register on the site, inform the amigo's and then slip away into the boards appearing as any other freshman noob would. Theres nothing like being hounded and questioned on crazy stuff right after joining, simply because people want to take pot shots, ask stupid questions or claim the 6 degrees with him.

My guess is that is that if/when he does in fact join the site, he wont do it in some grandiose fashion, but then again I could be wrong. I'll bet there are some other famous members around these parts. They just keep themselves well hidden...Colbert...

Welcome Richard!

This won't be a one line post either

I love the guy as an actor, I think he is very talented. I am not familiar with his "Conspiracy Theorist" moniker, but I look forward to hearing anything he can contribute to the forums.
