The 1970s happened to it, meaning that, ultimately, nothing happened to it.

Most post-mortem discussions of "Delta House," the 1979 TV adaptation of the 1978 big-screen comedy classic "National Lampoon's Animal House," say that it failed because of censorship.

"Kong: Skull Island" (2017) is indeed a bit of an outlier on Eugene Cordero's resume. His role as Pillboi on "The Good Place," on the other hand, was right up his alley.

Like so many of today's comedy favorites, he came up through the Upright Citizens Brigade comedy troupe. Since then, he's become a main player in TV creator Michael Schur's personal troupe.

It depends who you ask. Some say he was dropped as part of the high-profile firing of Muppeteer Steve Whitmire ("CAVE iN"), but if you ask Rizzo himself, he was shouldered out to make room for a new guy. Either way, it ain't pretty.
