Emmy-winning Univision host Rodner Figueroa was fired Wednesday after he said first lady Michelle Obama "looks like she's part of the cast of "Planet of the Apes."

According to a statement from Univision, the host of the entertainment show "El Gordo Y La Flaca," and "Sal Y Pimienta," was dismissed immediately after the show.

According to a Huffington Post story, Figueroa's comment came after interviewing make-up artist Paolo Ballesteros who uses makeup to transform himself into celebrity look-a-likes. Figueroa commented on Ballesteros' transformation into Michelle Obama.

"Mind you, you know that Michelle Obama looks like she's part of the cast of "Planet of the Apes," the film," Figueroa said.

"Yesterday during the entertainment program" El Gordo y La Flaca," Rodner Figueroa comments on the First Lady Michelle Obama were completely reprehensible and in no way reflect the values ​​or opinions of Univision. As a result, Mr. Figueroa was dismissed immediately."

The guy brought it on himself, if he'd have looked at the fine print on his first amendment permit he'd have known he can't say that. Even if it's true

Planet of the apes? I think Joan rivers was closer "transsexual"

I have a friend that sez "that &"/;? Couldn't find a date in Leavenworth."

I thought Barry was a girl when he couldn't throw a first pitch from the mound to home plate, but if he could father children with Michelle, he's better than most.

So after landing my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter, A good find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day….

About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, Unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.

I said pleasantly, ‘Good morning and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?’
The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, ‘Hell no, they ain’t twins. The oldest one’s 9, and the other one’s 7. Why the hell would you think they’re twins? Are you blind, or stupid?’

So I replied, ‘I’m neither blind nor stupid, Ma’am, I just couldn’t believe someone slept with you twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.’ My supervisor said I probably wasn’t cut out for this line of work
