“The Oscar-nominated actor, who first won over audiences on Cheers, is a 9/11 truther who’s shared a number of conspiracy theories during the Covid pandemic. In April 2020, Harrelson posted a gonzo article tying the supposed “negative effects of 5G” to the spread of Covid, saying he found it “very interesting.” In a May 2022 interview with Vanity Fair, Harrelson said of mask-wearing during the pandemic, “As one who doesn’t believe in the germ theory, I find it rather absurd.””

 

yikes

 

Never occurred to me that hosts don't write their own monologue unless they were like a sports star or something. I assume people with stand up experience 100% write their own like when Galifianakis just basically did his act

Can't imagine someone wrote that anti vax stuff for Woody

 

“As one who doesn’t believe in the germ theory”
That’s enough internet for the day for me

 

for fuck sake, Woodrow

 

TIL Woody Harrelson is Woodrow and Woody Allen is Heywood

 

Heywood?? Wtf?

 

Yeah, I would say MOST hosts either write their monologues or at the very least, come in with a series of topics they'd like to discuss and the writers help them craft it. There's no way the writers write random shit and give it to the host to say.

 

I am seeing the right sharing the Woody monologue saying shit like "BASED SNL!" (Elon even pinned this tweet, because of course he did). But here's the funny thing, he also said that he was a marxist.... which, isn't that conservatives least favorite thing? lol but I guess anti-vaxx stuff is more important to them

 

Heywood, as in “Heywood you just go away forever, you creep.”

 

"Hello, I am looking for a Mr. Jablome. First name, Heywood."

 

Yeah he sucks and if I had any interest in Shazam whatsoever previously (just based on reviews), it's gone now

 

I feel bad for Rachel Zegler who’s seemingly always stuck in movies with stars who are revealed to be problematic

 

More Woody Harrelson stuff

 

What are everyone’s thoughts on this? I’ve seen a lot of people upset over this.

 

It feels gross based on what little I know but I also don’t know what he has done to make amends (if at all)

 

He also got the name of Woman Talking wrong so he definitely shouldn't have been there

 

Disclaimer that I live in LA and am around sets semi-frequently as well as having friends in the industry: the only issue people are having with this is the increase in cost for the studio. Most often there’s a small bump in pay as hazard pay for Covid as well as getting paid for 1-2 hours of work if you have to go offsite to test. At this point Covid precautions are just testing and masking in certain areas. A lot of studios are down to testing once a week. Even without considering the fact that it’s for everyone’s health and safety, it’s just genuinely not causing any major inconvenience. It’s a trash talking point

 

Also before some nerd comes in and says I’m some billionaire bootlicker: by “people” having an issue with the cost for studios, I do not mean myself

 

Gross

 

There wouldn't be a single person alive that would be mad if he was replaced on Euphoria next season

 

It's his show, why would they replace him?
