If you get scam texts, mark them as SPAM on your iPhone if you have one. I’ve used only ActBlue for years. Every person running I’ve been interested supporting has been connected.
I'm not competent enough to get texts. Email is as far in life as I hope to be a master. I have the phone and we each eye the other with a good deal of hostility as we circle in the ring.
I've gotten a bunch of these spam texts but I ignore them. Now I'm marking them as spam and trying to unsubscribe (which, so far, has been unsuccesful)
I recall several comedians used the "telephone bit" on Carson. Personally, I tired of them pretty quickly. But it was also a time of the Great Change in stand-up comedy, when it started transitioning from telling jokes with punchlines to observational monologues. Carson brought so many new comics on (David Brenner, Woody Allen, Carlin, others whom I forget) that I think he personally changed the art form. And I agree, Newhart pretty much owned the telephone bits, the others were just imitators.
Carson was great in finding talent! I'll add a some more Robert Klein,David Steinberg and David Letterman. I'll add Jonathan Winters, but he was established.
You are right about Steve Martin. I don't remember Williams being on Carson.I could be wrong there. I think Robin made it big with Mork and Mindy. Ii never watched that though I heard about Williams and his fantastic ability to do comedy off the cuff)
Carson was beloved by the just starting out comedians for all the help he gave them. "Here's your break, kid. Show 'em what you got." I always respected him for that. Winters was a genius, can't believe I overlooked him in my examples.
I remember listening to Winters comedy album as a kid.Just amazing. And Williams owes it all to Winters. What can one say except those two were brilliant geniuses at the craft of ad living!
You do know when you send something to ActBlue, you'll get solicitations from every Democratic candidate in the country. I'm sure they take off a nice handling fee as well.
I would have loved to see Bob Newhart handling the Mar-a-lago call.
The notion of scam fundraisers has been something I'm noticing. I always have to look at the U R L . At this point, I stick with Act Blue.

Ha! Well put.

That would have been right up Newhart's alley! Those phone call bits made his career!

Kristal is GENIUS! I laughed so hard I spit my iced tea. I read it to my son, and he asked if it was a transcript.

And, off the top of my head, just thought of steve martin and robin williams.

Don’t forget the bus bit.
That's what I'm telling my friends as well. I'm now getting slammed with requests.
I don't know about anyone else, but for me texts are reserved for people I know; I do not respond to any text from anyone I don't know. Stop, always.
No one could do it like him Colleen! Anybody else is a cheap imitation!
Totally agree. I just delete them. It's an intrusion.

I have a separate email I never check just for ActBlue.
That would be hilarious
