Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer and Regina Hall have been set to host the 94th Oscars, which is returning to an emcee format for the first time since 2018. Deadline confirmed the news Monday. (snip) The search for host went through all kinds of manifestations. It has long been considered a thankless job, and that has been exacerbated by the pandemic. But last year’s host-less debacle made it clear they needed someone to center the telecast. The Academy first approached Dwayne Johnson, who took a pass. Entreaties to tandems like Pete Davidson and John Mulaney, and Steve Martin and Martin Short,...

Bill Withers who passed away at the age of 81 in Los Angeles sings one of his well-known songs... It is time for us to lean on each other and support each other the sentiment expressed by Ammon Bundy this week saying: "....I don't think there's ever been a time in our lifetime anyway where there's more need for us to unite to be united on important matters to be supporting each other to be bringing truth to each other and protection for each other...." In face of all the government restrictions Bundy bringing together people for a meeting in...

In Portland, Oregon, at Reed College, a small liberal-arts school, a 4 decade old old ‘Saturday Night Live‘ skit by comedian Steve Martin recently caused an uproar over cultural appropriation. In the classic Steve Martin skit, he performs a goofy song, “King Tut,” meant to satirize a Tutankhamun exhibit touring the U.S. and to criticize the commercialization of Egyptian culture. The skit is felt to be full on racist! Watch for yourself. Steve Martin performs his funky musical parody “King Tut,” which satirizes the popularity of the King Tut exhibit.

There are some situations in the news just begging to be mocked. One such example was the report that snowflake social justice warrior students at Reed College in Oregon objected to one of my favorite Saturday Night Live skits ever performed: Steve Martin singing "King Tut" in 1978. The song even became a hit single that sold a million copies and hit the Top 40 on the radio. Four decades ago, Egypt sent its Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibit to America. The traveling exhibit was so wildly popular with the public that it was inevitable there would be some commercialization in...

Good thing Steve Martin came along before it was a thought crime to have a sense of humor: Comedian Steve Martin’s rendition of “King Tut” is triggering social justice warriors at Reed College because they see it as a form of cultural appropriation. For moonbattery at its most Jacobinic, there is no better place to look than a college located in Portland, Oregon. The song, originally performed on “Saturday Night Live,” actually criticizes the commercialization and trivialization of Egyptian history and presents a caricature of the Treasures of Tutankhamun traveling exhibit that toured seven United States cities from 1976 to...

Steve Martin received backlash for a tribute he paid to Carrie Fisher on Twitter. On Tuesday, the comic wrote in a since-deleted tweet, "When I was a young man, Carrie Fisher was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. She turned out to be witty and bright as well." Media outlets and fans immediately turned on the comedian saying Martin’s tweet had a sexist undertone. Steve Martin received backlash for a tribute he paid to Carrie Fisher on Twitter.

How many times do we let ourselves get into terrible situations because we don't say "I forgot"? Let's say you're on trial for armed robbery. You say to the judge, "I forgot armed robbery was illegal." Let's suppose he says back to you, "You have committed a foul crime. you have stolen hundreds and thousands of dollars from people at random, and you say, 'I forgot'?" Two simple words: Excuuuuuse me!!"

round 8:04 p.m. last night, the lights dimmed at New York's Beacon Theatre and Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" played over the PA. I wouldn't call it the most surprising choice, considering that the audience was there to see Jerry Seinfeld's second show in a yearlong residency at the storied venue. Then an announcer came on -- "Good evening, New York City, and welcome to the 2016 Jerry Seinfeld show" -- and I, like everyone else, didn't even stop the conversation I was having, it was so innocuous. "Please welcome Jerry's very special guest ..." The announcer paused there,...

Big Surprise Guests Spotted Entering Ed Sullivan Theater for Final Letterman Show When CBS announced the guests for David Letterman’s final run of shows as host of the Late Show, they conspicuously left out any names for the last episode, set to air tonight.

Read no further if you want to truly be surprised.

Happy Fathers Day, everyone. (I know it sucks to spend the day with civilians…) And on that note you should know that Disney and Warner Bros are sorting out the rights to Father Of The Bride 3 with Charles Shyer to write and direct (Nancy Meyers passed) and Steve Martin to return. (What else does he have going?) The twist in this threequel is that Little Matty is now 29 and gay and getting married to a Navy SEAL’s son. Father of the bride George is "thunderstruck and speechless" and has problems with the whole gay thing. So wife Nina...

SNIP Martin was bantering with Twitter followers and turning their grammar questions into jokes when he was asked “is this how you spell lasonia?” His response: “It depends. Are you in an African-American restaurant or at an Italian restaurant.” SNIP

Actor and comedian Steve Martin is a wild and crazy guy so it is no surprise that he would make a bizarre political endorsement. In this case the endorsement was for Bob Kerrey who is running for the senate seat from Nebraska. However, Steve Martin does not once mention Bob Kerrey or anything political in the "endorsement." Instead, Martin in the guise of a home crafts expert shows us how to make a wad of paper. Your humble correspondent found the advice on how to make a wad of paper quite useful. In fact, for years I have struggled to...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A torrential downpour that struck Charlotte Saturday afternoon damaged the Mount Rushmore-style sand sculpture bust of President Obama — an ominous beginning to what many fear is a plagued convention. Workers were trying Saturday afternoon to reform the base of the sculpture, built from sand brought in from Myrtle Beach, S.C., pounding and smoothing out the sand that had washed off the facade.

Forget the marble pillars, this time there will be a giant 16-foot sculpture of Obama made out of 15.5 tons of sand at the Democratic National Convention. Building a giant sand sculpture of a living leader might be considered a bit tacky with its worshipful implications, but building one during a hurricane in South Carolina is in particularly bad taste. But if nothing else, at least Obama has found one “Shovel Ready Project”. And this isn’t even the creepiest giant Obama sand sculpture ever made. The winner of that particular competition is still Sudarsan Pattnaik with this nightmare made...
