John Oliver gave it a thorough roasting on Sunday night’s episode of “Last Week Tonight” on HBO. The app was designed for those who are seeking exemptions from Title 42, a Trump-era immigration policy that severely restricts who qualifies for asylum in the United States.
But, first and foremost, Oliver honed in on just the design of the app’s icon, which features, as the “Last Week Tonight” host referred to it, “a border patrol agent with a raging boner.” Oliver then pulled up footage from a “60 Minutes” segment, which spoke to women who try to secure an appointment on the app every morning, only for it to freeze or glitch, and the appointments to be entirely taken within five minutes. As one woman referred to it, “it’s lottery with people’s lives.”“We use apps for many purposes, but reserving an appointment to try and secure the safety of your family probably shouldn’t be one of them,” Oliver snarked.He then turned his ire to the fact that, when the app does work, it requires that migrants upload a selfie, but the facial recognition software often struggles to pick out migrants’ faces.
According to the host, one shelter had to install bright construction lights to shine on people’s faces for the photos.“I’ve got to say, given the history of everything that’s happened in this country ever, it is hard to think of anything more on brand than a U.S. immigration app that scans your face and says ‘Not white enough,'” Oliver mocked.

and , and their littles get inundated with presents—but what about the best gifts for new dads? Reporting for dad duty (especially for the first time) is a life-altering adjustment. Sure, there’s so much happiness they could just about burst, but the new-infant territory also comes with an entirely different schedule that includes many, many sleepless nights and the loss of some of the freedom he once had.That’s why it’s always a nice gesture to remember the new dad and give him a little something that isn't actually another but rather something special meant for him and only him.

ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” CBS’ “The Late Show,” and NBC’s “Tonight” and “Late Night” are all going on’ hiatus as a result of the start of the Hollywood writers’ strike — and the shows could be off the air for at least a few weeks. In place of new programs, NBC, CBS and ABC will air repeats of those shows. HBO will also cease live production of “Real Time with Bill Maher” and “This Week Tonight” with John Oliver.

in the midst of negotiations for a new contract, “Late Night” host Seth Meyers spoke out in solidarity with the WGA and acknowledged the potential of his NBC series going dark should a strike occur.“I am deeply proud of the fact that I get to be a professional writer and I bring this up because as of Monday at midnight, there might be a writer’s strike,” Meyers said on Friday’s episode of his traditionally goofy “Late Night” YouTube program “Corrections.”“If a writer’s strike happens, that would shut down production on a great many shows, and I’ve been through this before in 2007, 2008. There was a very long strike when I was working at ‘SNL,’ and it was really miserable, and it doesn’t just affect the writers, it affects all the incredible non-writing staff on these shows, and it would really be a miserable thing for people to have to go through, especially considering we’re on the heels of that awful pandemic that affected obviously not just showbusiness but all of us.”Meyers expressed his gratitude for the negotiators at the table and threw his full support behind the WGA.“I’m incredibly grateful that there are negotiators for both sides sitting and talking.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Chris Pratt revealed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” that he swore off auditioning for Marvel movies after he lost out on roles in “Thor” and more superhero films. The actor would go on to headline Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise. “I auditioned for them all. I had a rough run with Marvel,” Pratt said. “I auditioned for ‘Thor,’ but not even to be Thor — but to be one of the sidekick guys, and I didn’t get a callback. Usually they give you a little bit of feedback, and I remember the casting director goes, ‘Wow. You really made a big choice there.’ Which is code for like: ‘Hey, dial back the acting there, guy.'” “It got to the point where I was never gonna audition for Marvel again,” Pratt continued. “I was like, ‘This is stupid, I’m never gonna be in a Marvel movie.'”
