Cassidy Hutchinson Says Trump Leaves ‘Bodies’ Behind, Including Her Indicted Former Boss Mark Meadows | Video
Cassidy Hutchinson, the former Trump White House staffer who served as an assistant to Chief of Staff Mark Meadows before testifying against Trump in front of the Jan. 6 Committee, spoke to CNN Wednesday about her former boss being indicted. Meadows is among those indicted Wednesday for his involvement in helping to arrange for fake electors to be seated from the state of Arizona in order to keep the former president in office, the network reports. Anchor Kaitlan Collins noted that her interview with Hutchinson had already been scheduled before the indictment dropped on Wednesday afternoon. “I mean, the indictment…

Jimmy Kimmel Wants to Know ‘Why Trump Hasn’t Already Been Punished’ for Constant Gag Order Violations | Video
During his monologue on Tuesday, Jimmy Kimmel spent a lot of time talking about the ins and outs of Trump’s ongoing criminal trial in New York. But among other things, the ABC host wants to know how Trump keeps getting away with violating the gag order imposed on him. During the trial today, Trump and his lawyers argued over that gag order, with prosecutors noting he has “willfully and blatantly” violated it again and again. Nothing really happened to Trump of course. He’s been threatened with what is for someone with his wealth a laughably small fine but so far…

Jimmy Kimmel Explodes With Fart Puns Over Rumor Trump Passed Gas in Court | Video
There was a rumor late last week that Donald Trump farted in court, and on Monday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” host Jimmy Kimmel had a blast making a lot of jokes about it. Now, to be clear as of right now the report that Trump broke wind isn’t based on anything that has been reported by journalists, observers or any other people in the Manhattan courtroom where the ex-president is being tried for business fraud related to the hush money payments he made to Stormy Daniels. It could be true, but it also could not, and the claims, for which there…

‘Cabaret’ Broadway Review: Eddie Redmayne Twists the Emcee Into a Rancid Pretzel
And the Tony Award for Best Makeover of a Broadway Theater goes to… Tom Scutt, who has not only redesigned the August Wilson Theatre — now nicknamed the Kit Kat Club — but the set and costumes for the new “Cabaret” revival that opened there Sunday after a run on the West End. You now enter the August Wilson Theatre not through the front doors but a side alley, then up a flight of steps that leads to an intimate speakeasy arrangement of tables in cubicles. Seated near the stage, which is now in-the-round, I could not visualize in my…

‘Hell’s Kitchen’ Broadway Review: Alicia Keys Holds Court Far Above 42nd Street
As monikers go, “Hell’s Kitchen” is much sexier than “Manhattan Plaza” — which is probably why Alicia Keys’ new stage musical, with a book by Kristoffer Diaz, goes for the much hotter title. After its world premiere last year at the Public Theater, “Hell’s Kitchen” opened Saturday at the Shubert Theatre on Broadway. The musical is reportedly semi-autobiographical; in press reports, the words “loosely based on” are sometimes used. Diaz’s book looks back at the singer-songwriter’s life as a teenager, growing up with a single mother in the Manhattan Plaza apartment complex, located in the southern end of Hell’s Kitchen…

‘Quiet On Set’: Bill Maher Calls Nickelodeon ‘Neverland Ranch With Craft Services’ While Also Calling Out Disney | Video
On this week’s “Real Time” on HBO, Bill Maher addressed the recent “Quiet on Set” documentary, which explored sexual exploitation of children from Nickelodeon programming. Maher then used that to launch into a wider discussion expressing skepticism of modern progressive gender politics, including how much kids are exposed to nontraditional gender identities. In a featured “New Rule” segment titled “Kid ‘n Prey” (a nod to hip-hop duo Kid ‘N Play, known for the “House Party” movies), Maher opened up, “And finally, New Rule: as one of the few people in the public eye who’s gone through life and never had…

‘Rebel Moon – Part 2: The Scargiver’ Review: Zack Snyder’s Space Opera Concludes With a Bland Bang
Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon – Part 2: The Scargiver” begins with a voice-over telling us everything that happened in the first “Rebel Moon.” Or rather, almost everything, since the narrator, voiced by Anthony Hopkins, names all the heroes who’ve been enlisted to save a small farming village from an evil galactic empire, including Darrian Bloodaxe (Ray Fisher), who heroically died in the last battle. Except the narrator never says Darrian died, which would have explained why he isn’t in this movie. In “Rebel Moon” even the narrator isn’t paying much attention. That, or he doesn’t care. It’s either a weird…

Jimmy Kimmel Responds to Trump’s Oscars Rant: ‘I’m Impressed by His Use of the Word Vaunted’ | Video
Yes, Jimmy Kimmel saw Donald Trump’s weird rant on Wednesday, where the disgraced former president ranted about the Oscars and also had a fairly obvious senior moment mistaking Kimmel, who hosted the Oscars, for Al Pacino, who presented the Best Picture Academy Award. And the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host was amused by that should-be-impossible mistake, and by the fact Trump did this a full 5 weeks after the Oscars even happened. But before he dissed it, Kimmel found something positive about it. “My first thought is, I’m impressed by his use of the word vaunted. I was. He was even…

Stephen Colbert Jokes Trump Took a ‘White Power Nap’ in Court | Video
Donald Trump fell asleep in court on Tuesday, the second day in a row he’s nodded off during his criminal trial in New York. Naturally, “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert was delighted about this embarrassing spectacle, and he proposed an interesting theory for why it might be happening. But first, he coined an excellent pun about the nap Trump took on Monday. “Yesterday Trump fell asleep. During the proceedings. He took a little white power nap,” Colbert said. “But today he was sharp, focused and he fell asleep again,” the CBS host continued, bearing a huge grin. Then he…

Jimmy Kimmel Says After His Court Nap, ‘if Biden Is Sleepy Joe,’ Trump Is ‘Dozo the Clown’ | Video
The biggest news to come from day one of Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial on Monday was that the disgraced ex-president apparently fell asleep in the courtroom. Naturally, Jimmy Kimmel thought this was both hilarious and very telling. Kimmel noted how Trump’s longstanding nickname for President Joe Biden has been “Sleepy Joe,” adding that nodding off in court makes Trump “Dozo the Clown.” Now just in case you missed it, today was the start of jury selection in the business fraud criminal trial over the money Trump paid to keep his affair with former porn actress Stormy Daniels a…
