Vaughn, who has previously described himself as a political “libertarian,” made the comments on MAGA-friendly comedian Theo Von’s podcast this week.

Vince Vaughn Calls Out Late Night Comedians for Becoming Too Political

Vince Vaughn isn’t a big fan of the direction of late night talk shows in recent years when it comes to politics. The actor and producer made an appearance on a new episode of Theo Von’s This Past Weekend podcast, where he criticized the programs for becoming “the same show” that are “really agenda-based.” While Vaughn didn’t name any shows or comedians specifically, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon are some of the current late night hosts who are known to get quite political and criticize President Donald Trump on their respective shows. “A lot of the late shows have struggled,” Von initially pointed out. “Because the only person they could make fun of at a certain point was just like white redneck kind of people.

James Marsden & Vince Vaughn Star

If you’ve ever seen a mob flick before, you’d be forgiven for assuming at first glance that you’ve seen a million movies just like Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, the second feature from writer-director BenDavid Grabinski (Happily). All the usual tropes would seem to be present and accounted for. There’s the gangster with the heart of gold (James Marsden’s Mike) who wants out of this ugly life. There’s the tragic love triangle between said gangster, his beautiful girlfriend (Eiza González’s Alice) and her husband (Vince Vaughn’s Nick), also a gangster and a far more vengeful one at that. There are corrupt cops, and reports of a mole, and an extra-special mystery assassin with an extra-nasty gimmick, who only gets flown in for the gnarliest jobs. Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice The Bottom Line Violently entertaining. Venue: SXSW Film Festival (Headliner)Release date: Friday, March 27 (Hulu)Cast: Vince Vaughn, James Marsden, Eiza González, Keith David, Jimmy TatroDirector-screenwriter: BenDavid Grabinski Rated R, 1 hour 47 minutes But then…there’s also the time machine.
