Tina Fey Reacts To Timothée Chalamet ‘Manspreading’ Claims

Tina Fey Reacts To Timothée Chalamet ‘Manspreading’ Claims

Despite what you might have read, Tina Fey has insisted that she enjoyed sitting beside Timothée Chalamet at a basketball game at Madison Square Garden last month. The 30 Rock actor stopped by Jason and Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast this week, where she addressed the frenzy that ensued after photos of herself and Timothée at New York Knicks game were published online in late April. At the time, many accused Timothée, whose legs could be seen spread wide in his seat, of “manspreading” beside Tina, who appeared in a more upright position. “I should start by saying that Timothée Chalamet was nothing but lovely. Super friendly,” Tina said, noting that the Marty Supreme actor’s girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, was also “delightful.” Timothée apparently spent much of the night “joking around” with the comedian Tracy Morgan, Tina explained, noting that she frequently attends Knicks games as her 30 Rock co-star’s guest. As for the viral pictures, Tina said she wasn’t aware of the “manspreading” discourse until the next day. Still, she emphasised that appearances can be …

Colorado Gov. Polis reduces sentence of Trump ally Tina Peters : NPR

Tina Peters, former Mesa County, Colo., clerk, listens during her trial on March 3, 2023. Scott Crabtree/The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel via AP/Pool hide caption toggle caption Scott Crabtree/The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel via AP/Pool DENVER — Colorado Democratic Gov. Jared Polis has reduced the state prison sentence of Tina Peters, a former county clerk convicted of tampering with election equipment, and said she would be released on parole June 1, 2026.  The controversial decision follows a months-long pressure campaign from President Trump and his administration to free Peters from state custody. In April, a state appeals court upheld Peters’ 2024 conviction but ruled that she should be re-sentenced, saying that the trial court judge who issued her nearly nine-year sentence improperly factored in her protected speech. Peters was convicted for her role in facilitating a security breach of Mesa County’s voting machines when she was clerk and recorder. The incident occurred six months after the 2020 election, as part of her effort to prove Trump’s baseless claims of a rigged election. Peters’ conviction and …

Fey was speaking on Saturday at the History Talks event at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia, organised to mark the 250th independence anniversary of the US, where she reflected on her nine-year tenure on the live sketch comedy variety show. “I started there in 1997 and I was there when we had to come back for the first show after September 11 and try to figure out what that show could be,” the 30 Rock star said, according to Deadline. “The longer I was there, I realised that the show’s relationship to current events, it became a thinner and thinner …

Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, Melissa McCarthy Join Jack Black SNL Monologue

Jack Black is back on Saturday Night Live — and he has officially joined the Five-Timers club! The Super Mario Galaxy Movie star kicked off his hosting monologue by addressing that it was his fifth time hosting the sketch comedy series, before he was joined by a starry lineup of guests who, too, have hosted the show (at least) five times. “I am so thrilled to be back hosting SNL for the fifth time. It’s a huge honor to join the Five-Timers club,” he said. “I’m a five-timer!” Black was first joined by his Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot co-star Jonah Hill, who was sporting a Five-Timers robe. “It is so good to see you. What have you been up to, man?” Black said, to which Hill joked, “Well, I’ve actually been working on Superbad 2!” The two walked through a door to the Five-Timers lounge, which prompted Hill to tell Black, “Jack, we need your help. There’s something wrong with the Five-Timers Club. You see what I mean?” “Yes, you’re right, …

Former L.A. Zoo elephant Tina falls ill; Samuel L. Jackson and activists call for sanctuary

Former L.A. Zoo elephant Tina falls ill; Samuel L. Jackson and activists call for sanctuary

Nearly a year after the Los Angeles Zoo shipped off Billy and Tina to Oklahoma, animal rights activists have kept up the call to move the elephants to a sanctuary. Recently, actor Samuel L. Jackson joined their roster of supporters. In the dead of night last May, the pair of Asian elephants were shuttled via shipping containers to the Tulsa Zoo, where their L.A. keepers said they’d join a herd large enough for the social animals’ well-being — something the L.A. Zoo could not provide. But animal welfare groups say the pachyderms are not better off in their new home, citing concerns about their physical and mental health. Tina, 59, is battling a uterine infection and Billy, 40, could face invasive sperm extractions, according to Courtney Scott, veteran elephant consultant with In Defense of Animals. The pair were already showing “very chronic stress behavior” in L.A., Scott said, such as head bobbing, swaying and pacing. In Tulsa, “that seemed to intensify.” How do they know? A volunteer from the Elephant Guardians of Los Angeles visited …

Tina Fey Hosts Promising Spinoff

Tina Fey Hosts Promising Spinoff

Saturday Night Live UK had its looooooooooooong-awaited premiere this weekend, and let’s get a couple of obvious jokes out of the way. First of all, congratulations to Saturday Night Live UK on marking the last week nobody will be able to say the show used to be funnier! Saturday Night Live UK The Bottom Line Good cast, spotty writing — like the mothership. Airdate: Premiered Saturday, March 21 (Sky One)Cast: Hammed Animashaun, Ayoade Bamgboye, Larry Dean, Celeste Dring, George Fouracres, Ania Magliano, Annabel Marlow, Al Nash, Jack Shep, Emma Sidi, Paddy Young But also, the writers had 51 years to write jokes for the first episode and this was what they came up with? Hilarious, I know. But given that Tina Fey began her monologue by joking that she’s the youngest person to ever host Saturday Night Live UK, easy punchlines are in play. While it’s thoroughly baffling that it took Lorne Michaels this long to franchise one of American television’s most beloved and lucrative formats, the transplantation of Saturday Night Live for British audiences …
