satire: Last News

Jimmy Kimmel is set to host and Scorpio king Ryan Gosling will take to the stage to perform his existential bro-anthem “I’m Just Ken.” Gosling is nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role in the blond blockbuster “Barbie.” Despite critical acclaim, the film’s director Greta Gerwig, and star, Margot Robbie were notably excluded from the Best Director and Best Actress categories — thereby proving the point of the movie they made. In 2024, we’ll be celebrating the tenth anniversary of Aquarius John Travolta’s abject butchering of Idina Menzel’s name — and, we’re told, the public debut of Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid’s relationship.If the zodiac signs themselves were winners in academy categories, we’d place our bets that Aries wins Best Live Action Short Film, as they go hard and but not for long.

“Job” at the Helen Hayes Theatre.Writer Max Wolf Friedlich’s play tells the story of Jane (Lemmon), an overworked employee who goes viral after an on-the-clock meltdown at her California tech job. As a result, she has to meet with laid-back company therapist Loyd (Friedman).To say any more would spoil the fun of the twisty drama that unfolds over the 80-minute runtime.“’Job’ will grab you as soon as the lights come on and never lets go with its darkly comedic yet anxiety-inducing insight,“ screenwriter Charlton Villavelez raved.“Friedlich’s smart and often very funny script actually shares a lot in common with those of Emerald Fennell, the writer-director of the films ‘Promising Young Woman’ and ‘Saltburn,’” the New York Post’s Johnny Oleksinski said.If this sounds like the mind-bending corporate satire for you, tickets are available for all upcoming performances.At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets was $83 before fees on Vivid Seats.Other shows have seats anywhere from $84 to $337 before fees on Vivid Seats.For more information, our team has everything you need to know and more about “Job” on Broadway below.All prices listed above are subject to fluctuation.Based on our findings, “Job” has an unconventional Broadway schedule.The show sometimes goes dark on Sundays; other weeks on Mondays.

Soft Power echoes the David Henry Hwang who wrote the book and lyrics for the show.Jeanine Tesori, Tony winner for Fun Home and Kimberly Akimbo, composed the tuneful score, and additional lyrics, for the satire, which Hwang had originally conceived of as a “reverse The King and I.” The idea, as the M. Butterfly author explained to the audience on press night, was to have a Chinese person come to America, and, like Anna in The King and I, “teach an American ruler something important about civilizing their country.”As the collaborators first got to work on Power, in the months leading up to the 2016 election, the ruler Hwang had in mind was Hillary Clinton, who would learn something about gun violence.

infamous 2023 ski trial is coming to America. “Gwyneth Goes Skiing” creators Linus Karp and Joseph Martin will reprise their roles as the Goop founder and retired optometrist Terry Sanderson at Utah’s Egyptian Theatre in Park City, Awkward Productions announced Monday.

POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive.Politics ain’t for babies, especially at the highest level, so blowing off steam by cursing like a sailor just seems to be what gets an overtaxed, under-appreciated staffer through a tough day.And this day, as it careens ahead into one disaster after another, will be especially tough for staffers, the First Lady, and POTUS himself, who never actually appears onstage. But he gets the whole shitstorm started by referring to his wife as “cunty” — and not in a good way — during a meeting with foreign dignitaries.Managing potential fallout from the flub falls to the President’s harried Chief of Staff, Harriet (Naomi Jacobson); officious press secretary, Jean (Natalya Lynette Rathnam); and, begrudgingly, the First Lady, Margaret (Felicia Curry).A million other complications, from petty to Presidential, threaten to further derail the day: determined journalist and new mom, Chris (Yesenia Iglesias), hiding out in the West Wing; an unexpected visit from POTUS’ much-younger mistress, Dusty (Sarah-Anne Martinez); and a really unexpected visit from his ne’er-do-well lesbian sister, Bernadette (Kelly McAndrew).Meanwhile, the President’s secretary, Stephanie (Megan Hill), tries to control the increasing flow of traffic in and out of the Oval Office.

created by Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton, thought they were going to watch a heavily advertised episode called “Hold On Tight,” set aboard a London bus with guest star Robin Askwith.They were informed, about 15 minutes before airtime, that “Hold on Tight” was pulled and replaced by “3X3,” a new BBC game show hosted by veteran presenter Lee Mack.As the “3X3” episode rolled along, complete with the requisite banter, corny jokes, flashing neon and three teams of nine awkward contestants answering trivia questions, it took a dark turn — ending with an unflinching contestant, Catherine, locking her mother, Margaret, in a soundproof booth and making her head explode in bloody carnage.As the lifeless body falls to the ground, the crew screams in horror, and the episode, streaming Aug. 25 on BritBox, ends abruptly.“When Reece and Steve delivered the script for ‘3X3,’ it was clear it was only going to work if it didn’t have either of them [in the cast],” said “Inside No.

a pithy parody of country superstar Jason Aldean’s divisive ditty “Try That in A Small Town” — a song that has come under fire for so-called “pro-lynching” lyrics.The 35-year-old Knoxville, Tennessee, musician, whose real name is Adeem Maria, titled his takedown “Sundown Town.” He annihilates Aldean’s anthem with cutting lines such as: “We got no protests or civil unrest/Never took no goddamn COVID test and we can all read but we don’t do it/Driving trucks valued higher than a new Corvette/Yeah, we all wear boots and we love to shoot and we move for the cops to stop people like you.” Aldean’s original has taken a brutal beating from online critics for allegedly promoting racism and violence.The troublesome tune was released in May, but was thrust into the spotlight after the recent release of its music video. The “Small Town” video features footage from BLM demonstrations and other protests, and depicts Aldean posing in front of an American flag draped over the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee.

Race: The Movie: The Play, I was skeptical. What could possibly be said about racial-harmony movies like Green Book and Django Unchained that hasn’t already been said in snarky Tweets? Anyway, Green Book was released five years ago now, and it seems like even more of a relic in a post-COVID world.

reports Fox News.“It was part of a larger overhaul, I believe, of comics, but why they decided what was in and what was out, that’s not known to anybody except them, I guess,” said Adams, who noted it coincidentally happened after he incorporated “wokeness” into the stories.The artist said several other comic strips were also canceled by Lee Enterprises but each decision was made individually.The Post reached out to Lee Enterprises and Adams for comment.“Dilbert” has appeared in thousands of newspapers across the US and has spawned several Dilbert-themed calendars, books and even a TV show that ran from 1999 to 2000. Recently, Adams started poking fun at the ESG movement (standing for environmental, social and governance), Fox reported, and, in the most recent strip from Tuesday, he introduces a new character named Dave who is black but identifies as white.“All of the wokeness and anything that permeated from ESG … so that stuff made its way into the business world, and then it became proper content for ‘Dilbert,'” Adams said.“The problem is that people see that even though it’s a workplace-related joke, but it’s more about how they implement it.”According to Adams, several newspapers complained to him that their readers were not happy with the content, but he was not sure if that had anything to do with the removal of “Dilbert.”“What I do is I talk about how the employees handle the situation.

“POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive.”An insider told People that the 74-year-old former senator and presidential candidate brought spectators to their feet, the first time by simply walking to her seat at New York City’s Schubert Theater.The second round of applause came in the first act when a reporter character, played by Lilli Cooper, asked the fictional First Lady on stage, actress Vanessa Williams, why she wasn’t president.“That’s the eternal question, isn’t it?” Williams responded, shifting the audience’s attention to Clinton, who cheered her on for over a minute, according to the outlet. Clinton likely related to the show better than any attendee as “POTUS,” which tells the story of a fictional commander in chief relying on the women of the White House to keep him out of trouble. Clinton was first lady from 1993 to 2001 as wife of former President Bill Clinton.

NYC Deli Association, here with a treat for you — and maybe a gentle nudge and nag, too. Jokes aside, the Old Jewish Men and New York Post are back again with a hot new “delicore” merchandise collab you need to see.

spoofing controversial podcast host Joe Rogan, 54, in a brand new episode satirizing cancel culture.In the divisive Season 33, Episode 14 episode, titled “You Won’t Believe What This Episode is About—Act Three Will Shock You!,” Homer is erroneously blamed for leaving the family dog, named Santa’s Little Helper, in a hot car resulting in him getting publicly shamed, Newsweek reported.Things really go off the rails when the “Simpsons” patriarch tries to apologize, and inadvertently knocks Reverend Lovejoy out of the church window. Videos of the fiasco subsequently go viral on social media, causing Homer to lose his job and become ostracized by his friends, coworkers and family.Eventually, the doh-nut gobbler meets up with a Joe Rogan doppelganger.

a statement released on Tuesday afternoon. O’Rourke — a libertarian famed for his razor-sharp wit — notably skewered both Democrats and Republicans in print and on television. “Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys,” O’Rourke famously wrote in 1991.

Dubowsky: The network came to us about doing a potential movie-review type of show, and this was our spin on that.

appearing to report that “Saved by the Bell” star Dustin Diamond died in a prison riot at age 43. Fortunately, nostalgic sitcom fans can rest easy as the piece appears to be satire, according to Reuters. According to the parody piece, Diamond — who played the nebbishy Samuel “Screech” Powers in the 1990s NBC comedy — was serving a 15-year sentence for stabbing a heckler when he was “tragically struck down in prison resulting in his death.”The purported hoax was perpetuated by social-media users who were eager to break the fake news.
