Trevor Noah, Seth Meyers, More Blast 'hurricane Trump' For Press Conference Antics

... Trump's press conference today lasted for an hour and 15 minutes. Though an hour of that was just scanning the room for a reporter who wouldn't ask a tough question.". The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Colbert was quick to comment on Trump's claim that he "inherited a mess." "No, you inherited a fortune," Colbert said. "We elected a mess.". The talk show host also addressed Trump's response to White House correspondent April Ryan who asked if the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus would be included in conversations about his urban and inner city agendas. "Well I would," Trump told the African American journalist before repeatedly asking her to set up a meeting. "Are they friends of yours?" he asked. "Set up the meeting.". "Oh, you're a black woman?"

Trevor Noah's Cool And Confident Memoir Of A Challenging Childhood

... Noah. Spiegel & Grau ($28). With his debut book, Mr. Noah produces a striking, evocative, constantly surprising, tremendously heartbreaking, persistently funny and absorbing true-life account, one that never fails to capture his clear-eyed conviction, echoing pathos, sharp perception and sense of humor. Through accounts both hilarious and troubled, Mr. Noah explores his early childhood, awkward teenage development, impoverished upbringing and complicated father relationships with boldness and restraint. That the stories themselves are as eloquent, pensive, profound and sometimes downright miraculous as they are reads like an added bonus — although, in reality, these wrenching tales are paramount to its unwavering success. Although Mr. Noah’s life story is beguiling, bewildering and typically demanding, to put it mildly, it’s also refreshingly honest, and constantly lacking signs of melancholy or self-pity. It’s rich in content and scarce in self-righteousness, allowing us to see how comedy didn’t merely keep his family life alive, but flourishing through great difficulties and stunning adversaries. It’s a ...

Standup comedian and satirist Barry Crimmins is part of the JFL North West Comedy Festival on in Vancouver Feb. 16-25, 2017. Handout / PNG. Crimmins, here Feb. 23 at the Biltmore Cabaret, is a comedy legend who was instrumental in launching the careers of Stephen Wright and Bobcat Goldthwait, to name two. Now on the mend from a near-death car accident (hit by a tractor trailer in January), Crimmins is back on the road with his smart, funny brand of truth-telling comedy. When asked about the current Donald Trump administration, Crimmins — who hated Ronald Reagan and loved George Mc Govern — let out a big sigh and said: “This country goes in two directions: nowhere and reverse, and we just jammed it into reverse. I know that tour.”. And what about “alternative facts” and the “dishonest media,” with its “fake news”. “Fake news, well, that used ...

Comedy Central Chief Kent Alterman On Trevor Noah, Viacom And Making Movies With Paramount

... Bakish CEO. Alterman’s boss Doug Herzog, who facilitated Alterman’s ascension to network chief, departed Viacom amid the churn. But looking ahead, Alterman has reason to be optimistic. Rolling out his new Viacom strategy last week, Bakish identified Comedy Central as one of six core brands that would be the foundation of his rebuilding effort. And despite his admonition last week that “leadership needs to be held accountable,” Alterman, MTV and VH 1 president Chris Mc Carthy, and TV Land, CMT, and Spike chief Kevin Kay are believed right now to have Bakish’s confidence. Alterman, meanwhile, is plowing ahead. “Knowing that Bob has expressed a direct commitment to the value and importance of Comedy Central as a flagship brand and knowing what comes with that with more resource and support and so on, that’s great, because that just enhances what we’ve already been doing,” he told Variety. On Friday, he named two of top lieutenants, Sarah Babineau and Jonas Larsen, to lead talent and development, filling the void created by his promotion last year. “On some level, not that much will ...
