Jon Hamm wouldn’t be asked about Matt Weiner though.

She’s spoken out about sexual harassment before, so it seemed like a perfect opportunity for her to speak out again at a time when the mainstream media has caught up. And if Jon Hamm were interviewed, I’d fully expect him to be asked about Matt Weiner.
Is anyone going to ask men about #metoo or is it only potential female rape victims who get interrogated endlessly as to whether they’ve been raped? Maybe she feels she can’t afford to be truthful. What an ungrateful dumb bitch.
(rubs hands together) may i just be the first to say...
So – I’m a little busy right now to do a truly comprehensive list without getting a check for it – especially since I’d essentially be doing the author’s work – but would it not have been useful to at least list *some* of the most prominent current women whose work has been co-opted and whitewashed and erased?
I’m guessing the Variety story must be really awful, and I hope it moves ahead anyway. NBC needs to look like it took action so I guess this is it?
Yeah, the only thing about this one is that it was a sudden, overnight firing rather than one that followed a couple days worth of complaints piling up. I would have thought that Lauer was important enough for them to try to wait it out.
Matt Lauer’s firing was about as expected as Donald Trump’s incompetence. Figuring out who sexually harasses women isn’t very difficult to predict. Lauer consistently gave Trump and O’Reilly a pass on their shitty behavior while grilling HRC about emails and telling her to keep her answers brief.

Omg that was the best skit for a lot of reasons. On top of everything else, girlfriend’s got a voice.
She is adorable - she made an old lady puppet flirt with Simon. And I enjoyed it and I have a cold shriveled heart that hates this shit and these shows.
She is amazing!

Seth has been ON POINT with his analysis and comments on El Naranja for a couple of years and since El Naranja started his campaign with his “A Closer Look” segments. He has never attempted to normalize Naranja’s bullshit and had come at him with powerful words, unafraid to call him the racist, sexist, domestic…
Exactly. Fallon mentioned in that NYT piece a few months ago that he wished he would have addressed the hair-ruffling (ostensibly because of the effect it had on his ratings). Yesterday was another opportunity for him to do just that—to acknowledge and atone for having giggled along with a vile, grotesque monster and…
This is something expected of late night hosts and has been for a long time. Letterman’s show after 9/11 was really sensitive and impactful for a country that really needed them to help cope. They’re on TV and in people’s homes every night making jokes about the news, they sign contracts that last decades. Frankly it…
It’s absolutely fair to say that when the one coming up short was an active participant in normalizing Trump and is still giving weak statements today. If Fallon wanted to stay out of politics, he would stay out of politics. He doesn’t get to have candidates on his show, goof around with maniacs who have built their…
I watch Meyers’s monologue and “A Closer Look” every night, along with Colbert’s monologue/opening segment. Between the two of them, they are keeping me somewhat sane. Meyers really did an extraordinary job with this segment, though - above and beyond the usual. His insight is piercing, the writing sharp, the…
One more Riblet from Bobby. Though they’ll probably have him do Drunk Uncle if he’s featured during WU at all.
His Drunk Uncle IS Trump’s America.
Can she do that weekend update bit where she’s a kid reporter talking about really age-inappropriate news items? Just one more time, pleeeeease?
