Good for her. Television in the US is about the become (even more of) an absolute wasteland due to the continuing consolidation of media control, I would hope that some of these hosts/anchors/actors/artists would push back some seeing as how they are the ones people want to see. No one is watching TV for the ads despite what they would really like
It's "programming" for reasons.
Jimmy Fallon would happily keep doing his latenight comedy show where he socializes with members of the ruling class even if we had gas chambers and mass executions.
What has become of the moral integrity of our...late night hosts?
Fallon’s sterile loop of viral repetition comes the final victory of the commodity over human beings—a world where even our laughter is outsourced to the demands of the algorithm. You don’t even need jokes anymore. All you need is to say something that sounds like it could be a joke, and the hollow laughter will come. To watch Fallon is to stare at the face of a culture that has chosen the comfort of a rictus grin over the heavy, necessary terror of the truth. It serves as a grim warning: if we cannot reclaim our play, our politics, and our presence from this algorithmic void, we will be left with nothing but the echoes of a desk being slapped in an empty room, for an audience that has long since ceased to exist.
Re-read that last paragraph of the article and tell me if you still have a point you're trying to make here.
if you elect a rapist president, you're gonna have have rapist celebrities....
Conor McGregor is Irish.
Though I suppose I'm unaware if the president of Ireland is a rapist or not.
Who is McGregor? Never heard of him.
He’s a professional fighter, asshole, and violent rapist. I believe he fights for UFC.
Ah, that's why. I'm blissfully unaware of all that "entertainment".
Yeah apparently he's been platformed for weeks now on UFC and other sports channels. The outrage only started when he did this interview with Fallon.
Not a single peep about this rapist until then. All those sports channels and UFC are fully embracing this piece of shit rapist.
They're talking about him being on an American television show. He's a celebrity in the eyes of Americans.
Which rape is this? He's raped many women.
This is the woman who sued him in civil court and won, Nikita Hand. Not before McGregor's goons broke in and stabbed her boyfriend several times though.
fallon is fucking scum... how this untalented clown has a career is beyond me. his whole schtick was him laughing like a fucking moron while breaking character and ruining skits
His whole job is effectively creating the pre-recorded sitcom laugh track for our society. He has never been funny, like you said, when working with actually funny people his only move was to "mess up" and ruin their good work.
His only talent is being charismatic enough (somehow) to make others think they should be laughing when they see him do it. It's a laugh track, it's literally just directly telling people "you're having fun!", and a bunch of us sadly responding with "gosh that guy sure is fun". This man's entire career.
In January 2021, after prosecutors declined to prosecute McGregor for the 2018 alleged sexual assault, a civil claim for damages was launched in the High Court.
On 22 November 2024, the jury returned their verdict and found that McGregor had raped Hand. Accordingly, McGregor was ordered to pay Hand nearly €250,000 in damages.
What the fuck Ireland? You're all okay with this dumbass justice system?
Man, if I ever watched Fallon, I'd be super pissed right now...
It’s ok, you can be pissed that a rapist is being platformed at all. Especially in mainstream media.
What I don't get is, rape aside, asshole is a retired injured MMA fighter... what is he even doing on television AT ALL?
He’s running for office in Ireland or plans to, is what I’ve heard.
Wow, so part of a "rehabilitation tour". Wonderful.
And what does that have to do with American late night TV.
He's doing one more fight with another retired old fighter. Also, he got popular enough that he's trying to pivot to other things, kinda like Tyson.
Connor McGregor is definitely a fucking asshole and not relevant as a human being, let alone as a fighter. But Max Holloway is not retired, even if he is "old" in fight miles. He's in fact the current 4th ranked Lightweight in the UFC, and by all accounts a very decent human being (even if he does punch people for a living)
Apologies, I don't follow mma too closely. Can't wait to see Max sleep Connor.
No apology needed! I also don't follow it very closely anymore. It's hard to care, when it's run by such absolute shitheads tbh. Oh for real, I can't wait!
Honestly? Honestly? That was a better outcome than watching him get beat up. Just pure embarrassment and I'm here for it.
It was such a clown show and in my wildest dreams, I couldn't have come up with of a funnier outcome! The consensus on the other site was, they would believe the fight happened, when Connor stepped into the cage. He did that, and still no fight.. Talk about generational aura loss, as the kids would say!
How the fuck did.he end up in the remake of Roadhouse. Was that entire production and cast made up of right wingers and misogynists?
Did not a single person involved read his Wikipedia and ask "what the fuck are we doing?"
They read his Wikipedia and said “that’s our guy!”
Text reads:
Conor McGregor raped a woman so brutally that the EMT who saw her commented on the severity of her bruising. She also had to have the tampon she was using when he raped her surgically removed, as it had been shoved so far inside her.
Why the ABSOLUTE FUCK is this piece of human garbage being given a platform on Jimmy Fallon's show?
Shame on you, Jimmy.
Said it before and I'll say it again, I'm 100% convinced that Horatio Sanz took the fall for shit that he and Jimmy Fallon were both doing. But Jimmy was NBC's golden boy, so they covered it up.
Also IO Interactive gave this rapist a bag of money to have him in their Hitman game. Don’t buy that new 007 game or any of IOI’s work.
Sure but that cunt still keeps the money, money that basically came out of the players pockets.
He was very obvs an asshole before, granted.
But what do you want them to do? Sue him for damages after they kicked him? Maybe they should reconsider their contracts in the future and add clauses for "if it later becomes known you are the scum of the earth, this contracts is voided and you owe us the money + damages", but would this stand up? Without looking further into it, they did all they could do. But maybe I'm too lenient.
Dude was already a known abuser before IOI gave him a bag of money not just an asshole, basically punching people that didn’t kiss his feet. He even punched an old man who refused a drink McGregor offered. I would have liked that they never gave him any money. Hence why I stopped buying their games, if they had a lapse of judgement before they might have it again in the future.
Aleight, I looked it up and the first case was brought way before the release of the DLC. Also, he appeared with the turd in chief, which I forgot about. Not buying hitman games in the future either, although they made it to my wishlist some weeks ago. Opinion changed, thanks!
I still don't get the appeal of having celebrities in video games in the first place tbh. Screams to me "we have a lot of money to throw at this game but no idea how to use it to make a fun game so instead we'll buy some name recognition".
I mean, its Hitman, what if he was a "mission objective."
He was also in that rubbish Roadhouse remake, made by Amazon.
The billionaire class is locked in on rape.
It's going to be all over the news soon if they can't distract with war and economic ruin.
I might take flak for this, but I didn't hate that movie lol.
Yeah, it's a "bad movie," for sure, but I was entertained.
MacGregor is easily the worst part about it.
Who is this guest person? Are they notable for any reason other than being a rapist? I would like to avoid whatever they’re involved in.

UFC
he's been a very vocal anti-immigration activist in the uk. organising marches and what not. i think he even tried getting into local politics.
Conor McGregor is rapist piece of shit.
He’s also a professional fighter.
I never thought Jimmy Falon was funny and now I know he's an asshole (like Connor Mcgregor for different reasons).
I'll just leave this here. https://youtu.be/g0MZSmfEeTY
And I'll say, shaming Fallon is useless. Maybe shaming Questlove could work, but I'm beginning to have my doubts.
Man loves having zionist zoey deutch on too, she had to ruin Jimmy Tatro
Hes starting the media circuit to wash his image for his big return to the ufc.
