Clearly, Rogan heard about the Tweet and indirectly fired back at the starlet from his podcast perch this week. He stuck the rhetorical knife in slowly.
I think we should leave it all to Alyssa Milano, Rogan cracked after Dillon said hes sick of every single American weighing in on every single political topic.
Thats the way to be relevant now is to be political, Dillon said, leaning into the pregnant pause. All day, every day.
That shift where you go from actor to activist, all in, as soon as the f***ing calls stop coming in, youre like, all right, Im an activist,' Rogan said without mentioning Milano directly. The actress continues to find work, including a gig on Netflixs Insatiable. She generates far more cyber ink, of late, for her activism (and hypocrisy).
Dillon said most stars are self-absorbed and not truly plugged in to the latest news.
This idea that these people are now gonna pretend theyve spent their entire career thinking about global warming, Dillon said, the thought trailing off along with a hearty laugh. Ive met these people. My friends have opened for some of these people. I know that these people are going out there, and there, like, listen we gotta do this, we gotta do that. We have to move the country forward.'
Thats all well and good, except the same stars arent as magnanimous in real life, he contended.
Ive seen them make people cry backstage at a theater because theres not enough water in the dressing room. Its those same people who are really cruel going out and telling everybody how good of a person they are all of the time, Dillon said.
Rogan noted the monolithic nature of celebrity activism, suggesting its just another role for some.
They find the pattern, the way they have to talk and the things they have to talk about, and they lock into those things with no deviation. They find whatever the line is where Hollywood wants. Its always Left. always super progressive, always super woke, and they f***ing ride that line like a railroad train -- no deviation, and its so obvious.
Dillon said some stars get political to secure their next gig.
Theyre doing it so someone can see them and say, you know, he had a great [Mayor Eric] Garcetti tweet. He should write on Bojack Horseman,' Dillon said.
One of Milanos upcoming acting gigs? A TV movie dubbed Alyssa Milano for Mayor written by
Milano herself.
They’re bringing back Who’s the Boss?, and Tony Danza and Milano will be in it. I never watched it, because I don’t like sit-coms.
These people live in their own reality. La la land.
I watched that podcast with Tim Dillon, never heard of the guy but he’s funny as hell. He goes after the right some, but way more after the left.
I wonder how much of her “activism” is an effort to upstage Rose McGowan.
So as soon as she starts criticizing the Democrats this guy starts busting on her?
Small wonder I don’t recognize the name, never watched anything she worked.
Egad. If this cretin were any more self-absorbed she'd disappear.
It seems I’m still correct about milano being a cookie.
She complains that Rogan’s podcast has triple the listeners as hers? I’m fairly sure that Rogan has more that six listeners.
Here’s an article about that;
Alyssa Milano claimed she had one third of the listeners as Joe Rogan
