Director Judd Apatow spoke to MSNBC’s Ari Melber this week about an alarming kind of Hollywood censorship concerning human rights abuses in nations like China and Saudi Arabia.

"So much for cleaning up the swamp"

Puking for votes"

During a podcast interview, Jimmy Kimmel shed new light on his 2018 charity basketball game against Sen. Ted Cruz. The talk show host opened up about what it was like playing one-on-one with the Texas senator, and explained that he accepted the challenge mostly because he wanted the politician to “throw up on television.”

"...Somewhere in the back of my head I thought, ‘If I can get him to throw up on television during this game, this is going to be a devastating visual and perhaps it is just the Hail Mary that we need" to win the Senate seat.

He also called Cruz a "nice enough guy" and talked about bear hugs.
