Trivia

- Eubanks also appeared in the 1989 Michael Moore documentary Roger & Me hosting The New Newlywed Game at the Genesee County, Michigan Fair. In the film, he infamously cracks an offensive joke: "Do you know how come Jewish women don't get AIDS? Because they marry assholes, they don't screw them." Reportedly, he later apologized publicly in general and specifically to Jewish people and groups for the incident. On a commentary track for the Roger & Me DVD, Moore recollects watching Eubanks making a television appearance with a representative of the Anti-Defamation League denouncing Roger & Me as anti-Semitic shortly before the film's release, despite the fact that it was Eubanks himself making the anti-Semitic joke.
- He publicly labelled the 501st Legion of Stormtroopers as a bunch of "groupies" and stated they all "need to get jobs" during the 2007 Tournament of Roses Parade [1], before learning the group primarily raises money for various charities worldwide. Bob has since apologized to the group stating he regretted his remarks. He claimed to not have reviewed the material and didn't know who and what the 501st were.
