Playing Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick doesn’t mean Joseph Gordon-Levitt is on his side.

“Look, disruption can be a good thing — you invent something new and it’s useful for people — but it depends on at what cost,” Gordon-Levitt said.
“I think he was a really exciting guy to be around actually, and there’s good parts to that and bad parts to that,” he continued. “There’s probably some people who have done some pretty bad things in the world — like the president we elected in 2016 — who was pretty exciting to be around. But just because someone’s exciting to be around doesn’t mean they’re doing the right thing.”

Colbert then played an old, never-aired clip from a 2015 episode of “The Late Show” in which his interview with Kalanick was interrupted by a heckler taking the CEO to task for his company’s negative effect on taxi drivers.
“What that guy is saying is fair,” Gordon-Levitt reacted. “There are laws in place that Uber was systematically breaking that are there to protect labour. And those laws are there for a reason and they should be there.”
“The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on Global.

Dave Grohl failed to name Foo Fighters songs during a game on The Late Late Show With James Corden this week.The musician, who was joined on the talk show sofa by actress Hilary Duff, was tasked with guessing which songs the show’s host Corden was attempting to play on keyboard – despite him not knowing how to play the piano.A visibly frustrated Grohl failed to to guess a single song, shouting at one point: “Just play the fucking song, man!” You can watch his attempt at ‘James That Tune’ in the clip below.The first song ended up being Foo Fighters’ ‘Learn to Fly’, while the second tune was ‘My Hero’ – both of which were unrecognisable from their original compositions.Grohl was on the programme to discuss Foo Fighters’ new horror-comedy film Studio 666, which is released in cinemas tomorrow (February 25).The movie follows the bandmembers as they move into a mansion in Encino, California that is “steeped in grisly rock and roll history” to record a new album. Once they’ve arrived, though, Grohl “finds himself grappling with supernatural forces that threaten both the completion of the album and the lives of the band”.

It may not technically take place in the same television universe, but Bobby Axelrod from “Billions” could totally guest star on Showtime’s “Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber.” The new show from “Billions” masterminds Brian Koppelman and David Levien, adapted from the book by Mike Isaac, has similar propulsive energy. Once again taking place in the world of big business, it features characters who often thrive in what could politely be called a moral gray area, propelled by sharp, witting writing and captivating performances.
