Antonio Ferme editor George and Amal Clooney spotlighted justice defenders on Thursday night at the inaugural Albie Awards in New York City. “Growing up, my whole life, it just felt like oftentimes governments fail us,” George told reporters outside of the New York Public Library. “We need to, all of us, be diligent and fight for it — and that’s why we’re here tonight — because we have people who are risking their lives to do it, and risking their freedom willingly, which a lot of people aren’t.” The married couple formed the Albie Awards to honor individuals who, at great personal risk, have devoted their lives to justice. Many celebrity guests walked the red carpet including Oscar Isaac, Dua Lipa, John Oliver, Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, Ethan Hawke and Meryl Streep.

Jimmy Kimmel admitted that he's come to realize how his comedy bit at this year's Emmy Awards came at the expense of Quinta Brunson's big moment.The host recently sat down for a chat on, and recalled how the idea for the joke came about.«I said, ‘Will [Arnett], wouldn’t it be funny, because I know [my show] is going to lose to John Oliver, if you could just drag me out there and say I was upset, and I had a few drinks, and I was just kind of unconscious?'» Kimmel recounted to Stern of the bit, which went down as he and Arnett presented the award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.«How I visualized this happening is he drags me out, we read the winner, and then I’m just basically just out of the shot, and it’s not really a factor,» Kimmel continued. «But the stage was very different. The stage was like a catwalk.

recreate his voice for future projects, Trevor Noah couldn’t help but imagine what it would sound like if someone else took on the iconic voice role during Monday’s episode of “The Daily Show.”Before jumping into the impressions, he joked: “You see? ‘The Little Mermaid becomes Black and they take away James Earl Jones! I told you there would be backlash!”“I’m joking,” he continued, adding that he was “a little nervous” about the idea that artificial intelligence would be used to keep using Jones’ voice for the part.“We think A.I. is going to take over the world, and now we’re going to teach it to use the dark side of the Force?

censored by British broadcaster Sky, a decision Oliver slammed.During Sunday’s episode of his show — which took home the 2022 Emmy for Outstanding Variety Talk Series — the British comic didn’t pass up another opportunity to take aim at the monarchy in the form of comedy.In his monologue, Oliver blasted President Joe Biden for saying the COVID-19 pandemic was “over.”Calling Biden’s announcement “irresponsible” and “complete bulls–t,” Oliver said “you can’t just declare something and make it a reality.”“If I declared, ‘The Queen is alive,’ that doesn’t make it true. We all know she’s in the afterlife right now looking up at Diana,” he said.During an appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” last week, Oliver said it was “s–tty” to have his speech about the late Queen censored in his homeland.“All we said was that Britain is still mourning the shocking loss – right? – of a 96-year-old woman from natural causes.

Jimmy Kimmel is no longer vacillating.

John Oliver was a bit puzzled that his reference on HBO’s Last Week Tonight to the “shocking” death of Queen Elizabeth II was censored by Sky television in the UK. Or at least that’s what he told Seth Meyers last night on NBC’s Late Night.

Zack Sharf John Oliver said on the Sept. 19 episode of “Late Night with Seth Meyers” that it was “pretty shitty” to have his Queen Elizabeth II jokes censored by the U.K. television network Sky following the British monarch’s death. During the first episode of Oliver’s HBO show “Last Week Tonight” that aired after the queen’s passing, the host quipped that the U.K. was “reeling from the shocking death of a 96-year-old woman from natural causes.” Oliver was being sarcastic, which led Sky to censor the comment from the show. “All we said was that Britain is still mourning the shocking loss — right? — of a 96-year-old woman from natural causes. It’s literally not a joke,” Oliver told Seth Meyers about the censorship. “Scientifically, it’s not a joke. That’s just a fact with a kind of dick-ish inflection, that’s all it is. And yet they cut it out, which is pretty shitty because apparently all we’ve heard all week is the queen had this incredible sense of humor. Just nonstop. Oh, she was so funny. Seth, she was so funny. The queen, she was razor sharp.”
