The Audacity critiques Big Tech's ethics through a darkly comedic lens, but its timing may render it less impactful.
Kanye West sold out Inglewood, California's SoFi Center and took in a reported $33 million less than a year since he released a song called 'Heil Hitler.' West's apology for his antisemitism was evidently enough for his LA fans, and no doubt some went because of the antisemitism.
Druski's video skit, 'How Conservative Women in America Act,' went viral, showcasing a parody of Erika Kirk with over 7.8 million views on Instagram and 28 million on Facebook.
Hill struggles to open up despite his unabated desire for vulnerability, feeling that he had to turn his own therapy sessions into a Netflix documentary to force himself to an uncomfortably honest place.
Scarborough pointed out that this was a problem across the board in the Pentagon and beyond as he pivoted to Blanche. Blanche, a former defense lawyer for Trump, had given a striking answer at a Tuesday presser when asked whether he wanted the AG role permanently, saying it would be an honor but that if reassigned, he would tell the president: Thank you very much. I love you, sir.
"I created and launched Comics Unleashed 20 years ago so my fellow comedians could have a platform to do what we all love - make people laugh. I truly appreciate CBS' confidence in me by picking up our two-hour comedy block of Comics Unleashed and Funny You Should Ask, because the world can never have enough laughter."
Che's joke during Weekend Update suggested that President Trump's theater visit could end badly, drawing a parallel to Lincoln's assassination. The audience reacted with loud cheers and applause.

Norm Macdonald once referred to Bill Maher as 'maybe the unfunniest person I've ever encountered that's called a comedian.' The White House just announced that Maher will be the first recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor under the newly appointed management of the newly renamed Trump Kennedy Center.
Readers who saw my previous post will recall its focus on a recurring pattern of laughter and humor found during my deep dive into the humor of the Seinfeld series. I wondered why we tend to laugh at various things going into our bodies and tried to explain why we might be so inclined using the Mutual Vulnerability Theory of Laughter.
He had already picked on me several times for laughing too loud, too readily (that wasn't even a joke, he chastised me at one point). I was trying hard to suppress my laughter to hold it in, to hold it back, to not fully express the joy I was feeling. I was being somewhat successful. And then I wasn't. Everyone in the audience was laughing but I was laughing too much.
