Commentary magazine is testament. During the Donald Trump administration, the guest of honor was former senator Joe Lieberman. The best line, however, was aimed at one of Lieberman’s senatorial siblings, in that period of Senate confirmation hearings for Trump’s raft of Supreme Court nominations.“We have Lindsey Graham here tonight,” Modi noted to his bejeweled and buttoned-up audience.
“Sen. Graham, he loves a roast. He loves to laugh.
It’s because he doesn’t take himself too seriously. You know whom else he doesn’t take too seriously? Women who have been assaulted.”Modi spared the now recently deceased Lieberman those few years ago, and Joe apparently had a great time. When it was his turn onstage, he thanked Modi for the humor.“I thought Modi was hilarious,” Lieberman told the ballroom of roasting revelers.
“I never thought I would hear, let alone laugh at, a ‘Hitler-Goebbels-Shabbat elevator’ joke.”Again tasked with roasting on Commentary‘s behalf, Modi took more direct aim at roastee and right-wing pundit Ben Shapiro.“Ladies and gentlemen, what a creepy lineup of people we have here tonight,” Modi began, before wondering aloud if Shapiro was “that little Bar Mitzvah boy they put on the talk shows to annoy the other guests?”Then the truly roast-worthy cut: “You’ve done more for anti-Semitism than Bernie Madoff and Jeffrey Epstein combined.

And for Modi, it’s not politics, just laughs.And while D.C.

Gillian Anderson had trouble making up her mind about her role in Scoop.
After weeks of anticipation, Netflix’s brand new real-life drama Scoop is finally here! The big budget drama focuses on the gripping narrative surrounding Emily Maitlis' groundbreaking and now iconic Newsnight interview with Prince Andrew back in 2019.This broadcast sent shockwaves through the public, sparking widespread uproar over Prince Andrew's association with Jeffrey Epstein and ultimately lead to his withdrawal from public life as a Duke. To coincide with the release, the show’s two leads, Gillian Anderson and Rufus Sewell took to social media to share a cheeky glimpse behind the scenes of production, including the application of prosthetics to transform them into the real life characters they were portraying.Taking to Instagram, the duo shared a carousel of images showing the transformation process, complete with plenty of silly faces to lighten the mood during the long process.
Prince Andrew's life has been significantly altered - his home is in disrepair, he was snubbed at Beatrice's wedding and he's lost his titles. The Duke of York's downfall was triggered by a disastrous BBC interview.
When Prince Andrew submitted to being interviewed by Emily Maitlis for Newsnight, it made blockbuster viewing. Now Netflix’s Scoop brings the behind-the-scenes story to life and it’s even more compelling. Based on the book by former Newsnight editor Sam McAlister, Scoop looks at how Sam (played by Billie Piper) secured the royal chat for presenter Emily Maitlis (Gillian Anderson), who went on to quiz the prince on his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and allegations of sexual assault against him by Virginia Giuffre.
The Netflix movie “Scoop,” (premiering April 5), dramatizes Prince Andrew’s famously disastrous November 2019 Newsnight interview.The movie follows BBC anchor Emily Maitlis (Gillian Anderson) and her team as she interviews the Duke of York, 64, (Rufus Sewell) about his alleged relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein (who died of apparent suicide earlier that year).She also presses Prince Andrew about Virginia Giuffre’s sex abuse allegations, which he denied (and in 2022, they settled her sex abuse lawsuit out of court). In the real interview, Prince Andrew defended his choice to stay in a convicted sex offender’s home when he visited New York because he said that Epstein’s digs were, “A convenient place to stay.”The car-crash of an interview led to Prince Andrew getting fired from official royal duties by his mom, Queen Elizabeth II.

On Netflix April 5.Or neither.That murky middle is seen in “Scoop,” a Dollar Store “Frost/Nixon” about Prince Andrew’s 2019 interview with the BBC in the wake of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking scandal.Director Philip Martin’s film is not poorly made, per se, but its efforts to make the exciting behind-the-scenes scramble to get the Duke of York on TV are for naught.
In many ways, “Scoop” is not the movie you think it is. Sure, it’s a behind-the-scenes look at how the BBC television program, er, “programme” “Newsnight” landed a hotly sought-after interview with Prince Andrew in 2019.
Guy Lodge Film Critic It’s no great slight to “Scoop” to say that it’s no more compelling than the real-life news broadcast on which it pivots. It’s also no less compelling than said broadcast, which was, after all, a doozy: the 2019 episode of “BBC Newsnight” in which anchor Emily Maitlis interviewed Prince Andrew about his friendship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
