The Kennedy Center Honors honor people who have made a huge impact in Arts and Entertainment. An honor you would think that anyone who is slated to get one would attend. Not this year. First Norman Lear said he would not attend the event because of the President, then Lionel Richie and Gloria Estefan said they were not sure if they would go and finally yesterday dancer Carmen de Lavallade bowed out. Since you can have the Kennedy Center Honors without the nominees, the President decided not to attend. The White House said, “The president and first lady have decided not to participate in this year’s activities to allow the honorees to celebrate without any political distraction.” Translation, they do not want me there, I get it. In return, he will probably cancel all funding to all arts programs as revenge. At least that I was thinking he will do.
When it comes to the Kennedy Center, they told ABC News, “The Kennedy Center respects the decision made by today by the president. Then they added, “In choosing not to participate…the administration has graciously signaled its respect for the Kennedy Center and ensures the Honors gala remains a deservingly special moment for the honorees.” In other words, thank you for not coming.
45 is only the third time a President did not attend the gala and the first to due so because he was not wanted there. President Carter cancelled in 1979 due to the Iran Hostage situation and President Clinton skipped out in 1994 because he was on a trip to Budapest for a security conference on Europe.
Alec Baldwin had hinted that he was ready to hang up his blonde wig on Saturday Night Live, disappointing his biggest fans in the White House and beyond. It has been a few months since the actor said that and CNN just had to know if he changed his mind, like 45 does every day on Twitter? Baldwin told Chloe Melas, “Probably, a little bit of that…A couple of celery sticks now and then but not a whole meal.” Then he added, “I don’t know. I mean, I got a lot of things do this Fall, little things I am working on.”
Then he explained why he will fit it in, “I think people have enjoyed it.” That is a huge understatement. We have loved it so much we want to do illegal things to it. I am willing to forego him hosting Match Game just to keep him on SNL all season long. While I have been avoiding all the comedy shows making fun of the President, the only one I can tolerate is Baldwin. I cannot stand 45 and I think he is joke. He is just not a funny one that all those shows make him out to be. SNL gets it right because they nail every stupid thing he does in a brilliant way.
And on that note, CNN this better not be fake news because that would be cruel to do.
There was a time that everyone hated Alec Baldwin because of a voicemail he left on his daughter’s answering machine. That was them, this is now.
Now, he seems like a saint as compared to our President and Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly. Yesterday on Saturday Night Live he played both of those disliked men and it proves how angelic he is as compared to them.
While they might be going somewhere else, I think St Peter is more likely to open his Pearly Gates to the Boss Baby after his portrayals of them in this bit. No matter what his brother says.
I don’t know about you, but one of the things getting me through this Presidency is Alec Baldwin playing 45 on Saturday Night Live. Well, looks like we are about to lose our temporary Prozac because Baldwin dropped some sad news to Extra today.
He told them, “Trump just overwhelmingly lacks any sportsmanship, he remains, bitter, and angry, and you just want to look at him and go, ‘You won!’” The he added, “His policies aside, which you can hate, I thought he would have just relaxed. The maliciousness of this White House has people worried… that’s why I’m not going to do it much longer, the impersonation, I don’t know how much more people can take it.”
No one else can play him. We need him. It is his duty to the Country to continue playing 45. Can someone mandate it? We know the President is not going to do it but someone else must insist he do it. It is hard enough getting through this week because I didn’t get my fix over the weekend. I need my fix and he needs to keep providing it. If not for himself, but all the people who are stuck with 45 that didn’t vote for him. And there are more of us who did not than did.
Back when 45 declared that Mexico was going to pay for the wall between them and the US and they said they weren’t, things seemed strained between the neighboring countries. Conan O’Brien decided to take matters into his own hand to mend relations between us and them by taking his TBS talk show down to Mexico City. Tonight at 10p, we see what happens in Conan Without Borders: Made in Mexico.
The show opens up with him going to the Border Fence and trying to get into the country. They were obviously smart and didn’t want to let him in. He sneaks past them and now it is time for him to entertain the Mexican studio audience with some jokes in Spanish. He didn’t want them to get lost in translation like it does here in America. Sorry, Conan I had to. They laughed as hard as you will.
Anyways, next he shows them what happens when he asks people on the streets of Mexico if they will pay for the wall. Their answers are what you would expect, no but with explanations why. They love America and don’t want the divide that a small minority of Americans want.
In fact, this sentiment will be heard loud and clear when Rogue One’s Diego Luna talks to Conan about that topic and so much more during their interview. We will also see Conan join a Mexican telenovela, dance and play with a street band, learn how wrestle with the Lucha Libre and interview former Mexican President Vicente Fox.
He actually did a whole lot more like go to a Quinceañera, but there was only so much he could fit into the one hour special. A special that will be special to both sides of the border. One that needs to be watched by all, so we can tell 45, “Mr President, Don’t build that wall!”
