Janelle James is facing backlash after fans discovered she previously made a joke about her son’s genitalia in a 2021 Netflix comedy special.

In a newly resurfaced clip, which is from the comedy series called “The Standups,” the “Abbott Elementary” actress recalled seeing her son’s penis and being shocked by how much it had grown since he was a child.

“My youngest son got a dick now,” she said with a smile on her face.

“I didn’t know he had a dick! … They say you blink and you miss it — and it’s true.”

“I was sitting on the edge of my bed and he ran by from the bathroom — I guess he forgot his towel — And I was like, ‘What the f–k was that?'” James recounted.
“Like, it blew my mind. That’s a dick!”

James, who has not publicly revealed her age, continued, “That’s a dick that needs a job. Can’t be walking around with all that dick and no income. That’s disrespectful.”

She then became nostalgic when remembering that her son “used to have a pee-pee.”

“You change the diaper, you play rhythm guitar on the pee-pee,” she explained before making musical noises.

“That’s the best part about having a baby boy!”

James has two sons: one in his early 20s, and one whose age she has not disclosed, per her Variety interview from earlier this year.

Humorous routine. I do wonder what her two sons think about it though?

Interesting when mums talk about their boys equipment

Personally, if I was a teenager and my mother said on a public platform that she used to “play rhythm guitar on the peepee” I’d feel pretty mortified. My friends would never let me hear the end of it

Having a comedian for a parent is a tough gig, for sure.

Having any kind of media personality for a parent is a tough gig, I think.

At one point Kathie Lee discussed her son's circumcision during an episode of "Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee".

At one point Kathie Lee discussed her son's circumcision during an episode of "Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee".

Not too bad if it had just been a Routine Infant Circumcision. However, if the son had been older when the procedure was performed then subsequently described on television then yes, uncomfortable/embarrassing for the son involved.

The medical complex where I work contains a Urology practice. After a scan, we recently referred a 13-year-old boy there for a circumcision. Reason was phimosis and difficulty with foreskin retraction. His Mom wanted it performed; the boy was not enthusiastic but willing to take the Urologist's advice and get it done.

I could easily tell that even having to discuss his penis at that age was very embarrassing.

Routine Infant Circumcision

Genital mutilation is disgusting.

Cody Gifford was born in 1990 and this would have been around 1999. As near as I can tell it was RIC.

Kathie Lee described how before he was taken for the procedure, she placed a note in his diaper for the doctor to find, a poem she had written on his behalf:

"Dear Dr., just take a tad, please leave me most of what I already have. Life is too short so don't make me that way. Now please hold steady and have a nice day. Love, Cody”

Kathie Lee said the circumcision was perfect, and the doctor wound up framing the note and hanging it in his office. Apparently Cody and his wife did the same thing with their son, so clearly it doesn't bother him too much.

But at the time, as a 9 year old in NYC having his mom talk about it on national daytime television, I can only imagine what it would have been like for him hearing about it after school or the day after.

The RIC done of me was with a Gomco Clamp. Nothing was saved, fortunately for my Mom to later retain or talk about. Mine is a 'tight circumcision' with little-to-none of the frenulum retained.
