Elise Stefanik's staff is firing back at NBC's Saturday Night Live's 'appalling' sketch depicting evidence from Harvard, UPenn, and MIT's presidents regarding anti-Semitism at the country's top universities. Stefanik's line of inquiry in the sketch came at a hearing last week where she placed the liberal university's presidents in the hot seat, asking whether calling for the genocide of Jews' would breach their schools' code of conduct. The presidents were described as anti-Semites and chastised for failing to immediately condemn any calls for genocide. And although SNL thought the congressional testimony were amusing, Liz Magill of UPenn, who was forced to resign due to the backlash, was a natural consequence.

The opening sketch mocked the college presidents' inability to testify, but their efforts evoked little laughter. In the weeks after the October 7 terror attack, the backlash began online, where viewers slammed the sketch for attempting to undermine the dignity of anti-Semitism on US college campuses. The pre-written sketch was also printed just hours after University of Pennsylvania President Amy Magill resigned in disgrace after a weak showing in the last eight weeks.

We'll keep it fresh with the new music, but we'll also expect a few oldies (but goodies) every once in a while. Prepare: The Bop Shop is now open for business.

'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,' 'Avatar: The Way of Water,' and 'Top Gun: Maverick' may have boosted box office sales in 2022, but it was not able to recover the market from a poor year. According to new estimates, the domestic box office is forecast to finish right around $7.35 billion in 2022, down 33% from last year, when ticket sales reached their record of over $11 billion.

On Monday, Billy Eichner confessed that he had been trying his luck on Grindr, a dating website that he used while visiting Australia. While promoting his latest gay rom-com film Bros with co-star Luke Macfarlane, the openly gay actor, 44, made the brave admission on Ten's The Project. When Carrie Bickmore asked Eichner to confirm rumors that he had been using dating services while Down Under, he was chatting with the show's hosts.

Eichner, a 44-year-old actor, took to Twitter earlier this month to express his dissatisfaction with the film's performance. "Strong people, especially in some parts of the country, just didn't turn up for Bros," he said. 'Anyone who isn't homophobic strangeo should watch BROS tonight,' the he advised.

The 44-year-old comedian blasted the film for having an all-queer cast, even for the straight roles. Since then, the film has bombed at the box office, with one line of reasoning blaming the movie's lack of A-list movie stars. At a New Yorker Festival panel, Billy said, 'We could have comfortably cast Chris Evans into the Luke McFarland role,' Per Deadline. We didn't bother because, for us, it was important to include a number of openly LGBT actors in a film even though they weren't movie stars.'

It's about repairing a very bad situation.'
