Gilligan's Island - hardly the first thing that comes to mind when talking about edgy social commentary - named the shipwrecked boat the "Minnow" as a direct dig at then-FCC chair Newton Minow.

Someone needs to name something similarly small and feckless after (current FCC chair and comedy critic) Brendan Carr.
