Just got a press release for a new podcast from Chris Hardwick. It's weird, thoughâwhen they describe his career there's a big gap in his resume. I wonder what happened? Oh well, probably nothing important

Trump Is Going After Jimmy Kimmel Again. Whatâs Likely to Happen Next Isnât Pretty.
If he can weaponize Jimmy Kimmelâs joke to punish ABC, other media companies with far less will be intimidated out of ever criticizing the president again.

Colin Jost and Pete Davidson have often joked about just how much of a money pit their non-operational Staten Island ferry has become. Now, they have an option to offload their slowly sinking ship: the state wants to send it to a watery grave.

Will Colin Jost and Pete Davidson Sink Their Ship? Reef Experts Hope So
The SNL duo can rid themselves of an embarrassing impulse buy â a 2,100 ton former Staten Island Ferry â by giving it to New York State to turn into a home for underwater creatures.

I'm a massive fan of stand-up. I'm watching specials or listening to comedy albums almost every day. The Riyadh comedy festival lineup is unreal and frankly, dystopian. This is the best piece I've seen so far on the boldfaced hypocrisy of the "Free speech" crowd.

Not an exaggeration. If anything, this understates how unhinged the video is. It is, quite literally, five white guys talking about how to free the states from the burdens of the 14th Amendment so churches can effectively be given ownership over "gangbangers in Baltimore."
