Iconic.”Next up, Gardner’s reporter was “starstruck right now as I am joined by not one but two perverts who came to the park to pleasure themselves.” The pervs then proceeded to explain their new techniques, which involved a fake arm. (Gross.) This was followed by a woman learning to roller blade, because, as she put it, “what better place than on a crowded pathway filled with thousands of people?” After that, it was two “park employees who do not care about their job.” Of course the sketch breezed through more of this, and it was all pretty delightful.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter For Martin Scorsese, it was important to spend time with Osage people as he worked on “Killers of the Flower Moon,” his epic crime drama about the murders that took place in the early 1920s after major oil deposits were discovered on the tribe’s land. “We tried to do right by them as much as we could,” the director said as he was interviewed by his star Leonardo DiCaprio on Thursday afternoon. “We shot in the actual location, even the doctors office.” The two A-listers were on hand at CinemaCon, the annual Las Vegas-based exhibition industry trade show, to talk up their new movie, which debuts in theaters in October after its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
