TV's White Guys Are in Crisis

[Tom Wolper]

This is an article from Vulture about white men in scripted comedies and dramas on TV. Where they once were the center of the show, writers of new series are trying to figure out what role they play in a less entitled world. Cited shows are Rutherford Falls, Kevin Can Fuck Himself, The White Lotus, The Chair, and Ted Lasso. Spoiler alert: the Ted Lasso approach is different from the other shows.

Well, having finally caught up with Kevin Can Fuck Himself, the White Guy on TV is in no danger now as he ever was, I don't think.

There is the Entitled White Guy on TV, though... I mean, imagine the worst character traits of Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin, Al Bundy, Eric Cartman, Kevin James' character in that one show, Kevin James' character in that other show... You pretty much get Kevin in KCFH.
