Read the entire account of the interview. At one point, Hoffman cited his work in Tootsie, claiming he experienced misogyny first hand when wearing the costume and makeup. As I remember interviews at the time, he was sad because he wasn’t a “hot” woman, and men were mean to him. Ugh.

I am glad to see Oliver do the right thing. I remember when the allegations against Bill Cosby started gathering steam and he went on The Daily Show and the Colbert Report. Neither Stewart nor Colbert said a word about all the women coming forward. Instead they just fawned over him and let him do his lovable act. It…

Know who else was blindsided? The woman he lost his virginity to (i.e., raped). I wish someone would bring that up.

OMG HE BROUGHT UP TOOTSIE

What John Oliver did was, literally, heroic. There are plenty of people who relish being the skunk at the garden party, and he’s not one of them. When I’ve seen him do things like this in the past, he looks really uncomfortable with it; even a bit scared. A hero isn’t someone who’s fearless; a hero is someone who is…

“Have you seen Tootsie?” he asked Oliver at one point. When Oliver insisted that he had and that he enjoyed Hoffman’s performance in it, Hoffman told a detailed story about staying in makeup and costume as Dorothy, the film’s title character, after shooting had ended one night and experiencing misogyny first-hand.…

Nooooo. I don’t want her to do this. I want people who are celebrities and not politicians to stop running for the highest elected office in the country. You should have experience to have the job, no matter how smart you are, and how successful you are in your chosen profession. I don’t want it to be a popularity…

This is what John Oliver does for a living, it’s why he is famous; who thought he would risk his career and be dragged forever for not doing it? Who hired him and thought it wouldn’t happen?

I love the way this article called the crowd “well-heeled” twice, and mentioned twice that they’d paid expensive ticket prices.

Jesus- the most telling part is when the A-list actor for 6 decades asks the A-list exec if he’s the powerful man in the scenario.

But if you look at the history of humanity, change has always been created by people meekly and politely asking for it, then waiting patiently for the powerful to see the error of their ways! It’s always worked!

I saw an article on BuzzFeed with reactions from the people who were there, and many were like “what a bummer, why did Oliver have to change the subject/make everyone uncomfortable/forget he was there to discuss the film?” or “this is not the time or the place to put Hoffmann in that situation!” Those are probably the…

I’m pretty sure the women he harassed felt blindsided, too. Deal with being uncomfortable in every situation now, Hoffman. Welcome to Hell!

“Am I the powerful man” is about as tone-deaf as it gets.

From all accounts she’s a good person to work for. Legit negs? She’s embraced some sketchy new age stuff (and people) in her time, like Dr Oz and Dr Phil.

Yes, but has she, at any time, deleted any emails?

According to Page Six, CBS has been begging her to fill in the vacancy at CBS This Morning. And she may want to do more at 60 Minutes

Tell me I’m wrong, but I really feel like she sold because it turned out she really wasn’t that good at it. I love me some O, but that channel was not a great success. She can spend her time on the things she really is good at and probably enjoys more.

I actually thought it would have been worth a fair bit more. Mind you, I’ve seen every crime show they run and it’s like they only bought five episodes period. It’s time to get some fresh material in there. Or just make it the Iyanla Channel. I’d watch that!

I figured Oprah wants to run for president.
