Yes, I read that exact same article.

As "comedienne" means "female comedian", and "comedian" means "a person who humors others" and not "male comedienne", it is clear that the two words are not parallel. "Comedienne" is strictly for when the gender is important. It is the equivalent of listing Jon Stewart's occupation as "male comedian". Seeing as how the gender of the comedian is not important for these articles, we should use "comedian".
