Jon Stewart and Jimmy Kimmel bash Trump for appearing to snooze at hush money trial: ‘Imagine committing so many crimes, you get bored’
Former President Donald Trump appeared to fall asleep during jury selection on the first day of his hush money trial in Manhattan on Monday — and Jon Stewart had a field day with it on his “Daily Show” episode later that night.“After years of anticipation, the first criminal trial of a former president has begun,” Stewart, 61, sarcastically began his rant on the trial, where Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal an alleged six figures worth of payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels to cover up an extramarital affair before the 2016 election.“And by all accounts, it is absolutely riveting,” Stewart added before cutting to a clip of CNN’s trial coverage, where Jake Tapper questioned journalist Maggie Haberman about her earlier report that Trump had been snoozing during jury selection.“Trump appears to be sleeping. His head keeps dropping down, and his mouth goes slack,” Haberman reported on Day 1 of the trial.Stewart interjected in a New York accent: “Hey, Jake, what part of head down, eyes closed, drool coming out of his mouth, do you not f – – king get over here?” in a segment earlier reported on by Mediaite.“He’s snoring.

Visually impaired Dolly Lewis plays clinically blind ex-cop on ‘Sight Unseen’: ‘A gritty lone wolf’
Daniel Gillies), why she’s leaving.Tess finds a visual assistance app in which a guide walks her through investigations via a small camera on her clothing (Tess wears an earpiece for audio). That guide turns out to be Sunny Patel (Agam Darshi), an insistent, excitable agoraphobic who’s thousands of miles away in New York City; the two women quickly bond as Patel helps Avery solve cases and catch the bad guys, often assisting Campbell and the Vancouver PD.The crime procedural was created by Karen and Nikolijne Troubetzkoy.“[Karen] has had numerous operations and some severe loss in her eyes over the years, so she’s certainly bringing her own experience to developing the role of Tess,” said Lewis, a classically trained actress (the Esper Studio in Manhattan) who beat out hundreds of other actors to snare the part.“And they hired at least one other writer [Graham Isador] who experienced loss in his sight, so he was able to further advise into how Tess would actually physically be able to do something … things you wouldn’t normally know if you couldn’t navigate the world without your eyes.”Lewis said the show’s crew made it a bit easier for her to navigate the set due to her sight impairment.“I chose not to wear any kind of corrective eyewear on the set to help me physically embody the behavior of somebody who is trying to get their bearings when they can’t see what’s around them,” she said.

Stephen Moyer gave tips to Joe Manganiello and wife Anna Paquin in ‘True Blood’ sex scenes: ‘It’s OK, grab it’
“True Blood” stars Anna Paquin, 41, and Stephen Moyer, 54, met on HBO’s beloved fantasy horror drama (2008-2014) known for its graphic sex scenes.That made it a little, well, awkward once Moyer (vampire Bill Compton) began directing “True Blood” episodes — and filming sex scenes involving Paquin, who played telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse.But the married couple, who live in Manhattan, told The Post that they eventually got used to what could have been an extremely difficult situation.“Steve started directing me when we were on ‘True Blood,'” Paquin said. “And in Season 7, our final season, he directed the season opener, which had Sookie in love with the giant beautiful werewolf Joe Manganiello.“Steve directed us in a rather explicit sex scene,” she said, “so when you ask if it is awkward to shoot a movie with your husband, the bar for awkward is set terribly high in our household, not to mention on that show in general.“Stephen cut his teeth directing [on ‘True Blood’] and by Season 3 or 4, it would be like, ‘Hi honey, who are you f–king on camera today?'”“There was actually a day where we were walking from our trailers, Alex Skarsgard and Anna and another actor, and we were all working in dressing gowns going toward our stages,” Moyer said.
