Jimmy Kimmel, Steven Colbert Whine About How Hard Their Jobs of Not Being Funny Are

The two anti-talent lottery winners whine about how hard it is failing at your job every single night.

Stephen Colbert swung by ABC and Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday to celebrate his Emmy win and to reflect back on his days as host of The Late Show. Colbert claimed to be much happier now that he is no longer hosting the show because he doesn't have to "drink a cup of poison" every day by immersing himself in the news, but neither he nor Kimmel appeared to realize that nobody was forcing them to do that in the first place.
Kimmel began by simply wondering, "Do you think about it ever?" and Colbert answered by quipping, "Nope. I have an opportunity to not think about the news every day? And I took it."
Rewinding to Monday's Emmy Awards, Kimmel observed, "Yeah, you know what, when I saw you last night, or what was--yeah, last night, I felt like you--I don't know, you seemed like a different person. You seemed happier. You seemed healthier."
Colbert retorted, "Like I don't drink a cup of poison every day?"
After Kimmel affirmed, "Yeah. Like that," Colbert recalled, "Because part of the job is--the old gig as I remember it, was that to be lowered like carbon rods into a radioactive pool every day and then to be pulled out and put in front of a camera. And to eradiate it back at the audience at a nonlethal rad level."

Kimmel agreed, "That's right. That's exactly the job description."

At no point did it become necessary for comedians to become indistinguishable from MS NOW hosts.

They would disagree. They must hunt Trump through the Moons of Nibia and round the Antares Maelstrom and round Perdition's flames before they give him up!

In more repulsive "celebrity" news, "Lilly" Wachowski continues complaining that the country isn't embracing and validating "her" trans identity.

"She" previously complained that no one wants to fund his "all-trans cast" movie.

It's not 2022 anymore, "Lilly."

Filmmaker Lilly Wachowski is working to get her next project, "The Hunted," out of late-stage production. But the "Bound" and "Matrix" director says nobody in Hollywood wants to finance the thriller, which is budgeted at around $10 million, because of its trans representation.
"People like it, but they really don't want to make it because it's [got a] wall-to-wall trans cast," Wachowski said on KCRW's "The Business" podcast last Friday. "I have to get creative and figure out different ways that I can get this in front of people."

"This is a script that was extremely important for me to write," she continued. "It was a response to what is happening in the world for trans people, and it gave me a hugely cathartic receptacle to dump all of my anger and rage and frustration into."

Oh great, it propagandizes "trans rage" as trans people keep violently attacking normies.

I think I saw Midnight's Edge point out that if "she" really wants to make the movie, "she" can self-fund it. They pointed out that actor/legend Bruce Campell wanted to make a movie, so he funded it himself.

Now "Lilly" blasts everyone for not supporting and centering the Trans Experience, and for supporting JK Rowling.

Lilly Wachowski on Her New Studio Anarchists United, the Black Power Origins of 'The Matrix' and How 'Harry Potter' Fans Are 'Supporting Trans Genocide'
The visionary filmmaker behind 'The Matrix' opens up about her new studio for marginalized voices, J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk.

The "journalist" here talks about the "Trans Tipping Point" when transgenders pressured studios into casting them in TV shows.

But that golden age, which lasted all the way from 2015 to 2023, is faded.

Then came the backlash. Republican politicians and pundits began zeroing in on trans rights, treating it as a wedge issue in order to distract from Trump's economic failings. A moral panic ensued. Just last year, more than 600 anti-trans bills were introduced at the state level in the U.S., and 29 states adopted restrictive laws pertaining to trans people. And Hollywood followed suit, scaling back its trans representation. Cox recently shared she'd lost 90% of her income amid Trump and his minions' war on trans people and DEI.

I think the "backlash" was less about a trans actor being on Orange Is the New Black and more about the state using its power to force parents to trans their children and propagandize more children into cutting off their genitals.

[WACHOWSKI:]
The story is: I was talking to Sarah Marie Flores, who is our third in the triumvirate of the Anarchists -- between me and Lawrence Mattis -- and was coming out of this TV show that I'd worked on that I was really proud of, "Work in Progress"...

A TV show about a middle-aged lesbian dating a trans man. It is, as they say in Hollywood, a "Four-Quadrant Blockbuster," appealing to all four major demographics: Lesbians, AWFULs, trannies, and ten year old drag queens.

...which went for two seasons, got on all these top ten lists and didn't get the viewing numbers that the studio wanted, so we were summarily canceled and a few months later pulled from streaming....

Oh, no one watched your extremely niche show and so they cancelled it? That's so unfair and discriminatory.

He then pulls the card the gay/trans/DEI writers always pull: We didn't get ratings or sales but we got good reviews from the woke reviewers and that's even more important.

So, when Showtime turned around and canceled the show even though it was so critically acclaimed and really made for peanuts, it lit a fire under me.

More whining:

You're right. We were at this "trans tipping point" where you had Laverne Cox on the cover of Time magazine and the NCAA deciding to pull the Men's Basketball Tournament out of North Carolina if they decided to institute these bathroom bans that would harm trans people.
...
it's that billionaires started pumping out negative propaganda against trans people. They started creating reports about kids with litter boxes, and the Cass report came out in the U.K. -- that has since been debunked but has been used as this cudgel against trans people. This idea of "trans surgery for minors" -- they're still saying this shit. Jesse Watters was talking to the Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed about cutting kids' tallywackers off. None of this is happening! This is all right-wing propaganda against trans people. That is what has caused the shift.

Notice they always do the same thing: They claim that zero children are undergoing surgical "transitions" but when you say "Okay if that's true, let's make it illegal so we know for sure it won't happen," they say "YOU CAN'T DO THAT! THAT'S VITAL TRANS-AFFIRMING CARE!"

So which is it? Is it something that never happens and that it's "misinformation" to say it happens, or is it vital gender-affirming care that kids need?

Choose one.

While that's happening, our industry is being consolidated into these corporate monoliths that are run by people like Larry Ellison, and Larry Ellison is a radical conservative idealogue.

He's a normie who wants to make money.

Here "Lilly" expresses the real leftwing objection to Paramount/Skydance buying Warner Bros: CNN might not be as reliable an agitprop channel.

It's completely bonkers! They're like these Death Stars. They want CNN because they want to make it into Fox News. I got involved with Anarchists and I had written this script ["The Hunted"] with my partner as this receptacle for all my anger. I was using it as this piece of art that was an incredibly cathartic experience to write, and it was a salve for both of us. It's political, but to be trans in this world that we live in is political. My body is political.

He objects to Elon Musk using the expression "Take the red pill," insisting that "take the red pill" really means "embrace trans lifestyles."

Oh, so "Lilly's" next project is another Four-Quadrant Blockbuster, called "Cassie Workman is Witchy AF."

Witchy. Very 2011 MySpace. And "AF" -- you know, "AF" lost its cache as a meme five years ago, right?

Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling are two people who have inflicted an enormous amount of cultural damage on the trans community. What are your thoughts on them?
I mean... these people are Nazis. They're literal Nazis. There is a one-to-one connection between Elon Musk and the Nazi community. He did a full-blown Sieg Heil on a national stage. I think that the global community needs to firewall the U.S. from their populaces in a way because this country has allowed Nazi propaganda to proliferate at such a degree that it has become dangerous to the global population. As much as another country can, I think they need to be fighting back against hate speech and shutting those platforms down. They've had some success in Brazil and Europe, but it's kind of over for the U.S. and the U.K. at the moment. What Twitter does and what Meta does in the U.K... they're cooked.
...
[JK Rowling] is funding trans genocide. J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support "Harry Potter," you're supporting trans genocide. The money that goes into you enjoying these products, a portion of that money goes to J.K. Rowling and that money goes into her funding anti-trans legislation all over the world. In the same way that if you are against Elon Musk, you boycott or don't buy Tesla; and if you're against global warming/climate change, you try not to buy as much gas, you try to mitigate your use of these products. It's simple math. So, your enjoyment of these shows, and continued support of these shows, is supporting my eradication.
Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) speaks to the people of Zion in "The Matrix Reloaded."

It's so weird that other people don't want to work with this endlessly-raging headcase.

He thinks he can leverage people's declining interest in "The Matrix" into embracing his psychotically-angry and deranged worldview.

Well, good luck with all that.

And no one seems to like the Matrix sequels at all, even though they did make money.

Here, he laughs about money for grants for pregnancy prevention programs given for transgender boys, ie fake girls.

I remember when Hollywood was freaking out because Netflix was going to buy WB and accelerate the end of the theatrical experience (studios really do need that theatrical money, streaming isn't nearly enough).

Who would stop it? Could it be stopped?

And then Paramount comes along, pays way too much in a bidding war while promising an extensive theatrical movie slate and release schedule that Netflix never would have, and it's suddenly the worst thing to happen to the industry.

Sure, the industry might be able to make some money, but Paramount/WB might make a movie that isn't hard leftist sometimes.

66 Why would you have to "immerse yourself in the news" if you're a comedian--and not a political activist?

Their lament is a confession of who they are and an admission they're not very good at what they claim to be.

An actual comedian can build the monolog from scanning the top 5 daily headlines.

how many writers did these duffuses have? It was like 20+ right?

69 Stephen Colbert says that he's feeling better not hosting a late night show because "the old gig as I remember it was that to be lowered like carbon rods into a radioactive pool every day. And then to be pulled out and put in front of a camera and to eradiate it back at the audience at a nonlethal rad level."

Jimmy Kimmel agrees, "That's right. That's exactly the job description."

No, Jimmy, it's not. You turned it INTO that. Johnny Carson would occasionally talk about news headlines or something, but most of the time, he MADE YOU LAUGH and had guests that would come on and MAKE YOU LAUGH.

He didn't alienate MILLIONS and MILLIONS every night by pissing about POLITICIANS or a political viewpoint.

YOU ruined it. The most Jay Leno would do for newspapers was bring up the silly ads or stupid headlines from some local rag from bumf*ck wherever.

You, Colbert and the rest changed late night for the WORSE and you're all dying because of it.

GFY in the most painful, embarrassing way possible, dickhead.

71 Stephen Colbert says working on Late Show was like ‘drinking poison’ each night

Garbage headline. He used the phrase in reference to consuming the awful Republican news each day.

If you cannot change the atrocities, you have a duty to bear witness, and to use whatever platforms you have to ensure others do too.

This is a bare minimum requirement.As Macklemore stated recently. 'there is no thanks for a duty'.

Calling this out is something that every last one of us should be doing, everywhere we have access.

It was hard to watch any political late night after Trump got elected the second time. You could just see their struggle to remain composed in their eyes as the country sinks deeper and deeper into fascism.

I was watching The Daily Show religiously during Trump's first term. But... That hasn't been the case this term. It's all turned into "Wow, that's crazy. Anyone gonna stop him? No? Oh..."

100% As I love Colbert - and I do - I had to stop watching his opening monologues. Trying to keep your mental health intact during these times takes effort. And it begins by not stressing over horrible things you can do nothing about.

82 What a toxic he-witch, just saying things. I offer the antidote of an interview with Dr. Theodore Dalrymple, explaining why we fight:

"Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to."

They directed/produced a couple of blockbusters and now they're whining that they can't get their all-trans project greenlit? They don't know how Hollywood works? I think they're in the matrix themselves, dreaming pretty dreams, while real life is happening outside their consciousness.

They aren’t comedians, they are spokespeople who tell badly written jokes by a committee of political activists who are under the mistaken belief that they are comedy writers.

All financed by big media to politically influence a shrinking demographic of Baby Boomers (and nostalgic Gen X and Millennials) who still watch late night shows.

140 126 Since we're talking about show biz and movies and stuff, I watched Bottle Shock on Netflix (IIRC), and it was excellent. Alan Rickman was at his pompous best. It's about the 1976 blind taste test in France in which Napa Valley wine was shown to be equal to, if not better, than snooty French stuff.

Highly recommended.

I still think it's pretty good. Sure, some of the stuff (human batteries) is dumb, but the premise and world are interesting.

So I end up looking at "transgenders" like giving a fishing hat to a monkey at the zoo and laughing when they put it on their head. The monkey is immitating humans....just like a Male human immitates a Female Human (with all those stereotypes included) describes a "transgender." I can't help laughing at them, ridiculing them, and maybe feeling a bit of pitty for their delusions. BUT, I can't take them seriously. They're funny looking, and the seriousness they apply to the disguise makes it all the more hilarious.

the first one was watchable. no interest in anything after that since there wasn't really a story only a concept. It was good use of early CGI. Keanu was ya know Keanu. It had a mood/tone that was pretty good - noir/Kung Fu/leather. But kind of like Miami Vice - it was just style, a concept, and not much else. Acting wise not a lot going on either.

It came out in 1999 and set the tone for movies for years, just like Pulp Fiction did 5 years earlier.

A lot of movies tried to ape it and its esthetic.

But at the time, it was as unique as Star Wars.

I swear, to the extent these boomers won't be dead by then, these losers will still be whining about fascism for the next 20 years.

Every day, all day long, they're consumed with this singular notion no matter how much evidence to the contrary or little in support.

It's just a retard's shorthand that skips any intelligence, a placeholder for anything they don't like--even if it's what they claimed to support decades earlier.

Both have a dark urban esthetic, but then so did Blade, also in 1998.

I dunno, seems like a privilege to be granted access to the briefing room, not a right. I mean, its not like the briefings are available to everyone in real time on Cspan. I suppose you could make the case that they can't ask questions live - but so what - they can submit their questions in writing. Its not like they have to be called on if they come to the press conference do they? Isn't that discretionary? Why invite anyone - turn it into office space and do the briefings by zoom.

Eh, since this is kinda sorta a movie thread and I'm already complaining.

I read this:

Mark Andrew Edwards talks too much about Horror.

And don't agree with the assertion that to be a horror movie, the movie has to have an unhappy ending.

The assertion is made at the beginning and then never explored, just repeated over and over using various horror movies as examples.

Not really something you can have a discussion about.

"It's not a horror movie because of the happy ending."
"Yes, it is."

Done.

It's like the Monty Python argument skit.

I don't even know where to start on how bad the HP books are, but that's a good place. The magic is totally random. How is there ever any legitimate suspense if some magician can just stand up and say "Arresto momentum!" and Harry doesn't hit the ground after all.

There is never a single moment of suspense.

And then read them again.
