INTERVIEW OF THE DAY J.B. Smoove hit the Breakfast Club Friday morning to promote the next season of Curb Your Enthusiasm and raised some interesting perspectives on being a comedian today.
He said: “You need that medicine. It’s rough for comedians right now. We gotta be very careful in this climate in this world. Here’s the hard part. You’re watching the comedian on stage. You’re laughing and loving it. Then the comedian gets backlash. Here’s the thing that’s tricky. What happens when the camera spins around on the audience and you’re crying. You and your girl are stomping your feet. Your girl is hugging you. Do you get fired? Because your boss saw you laughing at something that offends him? We gotta pull back and figure out how to move forward in society and understand the purpose of humor. The purpose of satire. The purpose of comedy. Even poets. Poets go hard. But you gotta live.”
THE SIGNAL Look for it.

GEORGE TAKEI dragged William Shatner for filth. Page Six: George Takei’s decades-long feud with William Shatner is rocketing into space. The Star Trek actor threw enough shade at his former on-screen captain to cause an eclipse, as he dismissed Shatner’s flight this week on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin capsule and described him as “not the fittest specimen.”
“He’s boldly going where other people have gone before,” snarked Takei, 84, when Page Six asked him what he thought of Captain Kirk’s brief trip Wednesday to the edge of space.
“He’s a guinea pig, 90 years old and it’s important to find out what happens,” Takei added, as he spoke at the opening of “Thoughts of a Colored Man” on Wednesday night.
“So 90 years old is going to show a great deal more on the wear and tear on the human body, so he’ll be a good specimen to study. Although he’s not the fittest specimen of 90 years old, so he’ll be a specimen that’s unfit!”

LIBRARY CARD The New York Times: If Western popular culture has a common idiom, a force that binds us all, the stories contained in Marvel comics are probably it. In a few short decades, the Marvel Universe (in all its corporate manifestations) has rewired how millions, perhaps even billions, of people imagine what is possible, what is heroic, what is good. Once confined to dime store spinner racks, Marvel’s creations have burst free of their humble roots, hulking out into one of the most successful transmedia empires on the planet.
That is one version of the Marvel story, perhaps the most obvious. There are others, naturally, as befits a Galactus-size behemoth. There are the lives of the genius creators who broke their backs making it all happen or the perspective of one of the many superhero teams that defines the Marvel brand. Another narrative, though, is hiding in plain sight. It’s the one contained within the 27,000 comic books that Marvel published between 1961 and today — what the writer Douglas Wolk calls “the longest continuous, self-contained work of fiction ever created: over half a million pages to date and growing.”
Wolk, a lifelong comic fan who won an Eisner Award for his excellent “Reading Comics,” wondered (as only a true comic fan could) what those 27,000 comics — the original source for all the movies, TV shows, action figures, cartoons, video games, T-shirts, cosplayers — might say to us as a single body of work.

WINTER IS COMING and Luca‘s Jack Dylan Glazer has you sorted. He and @SpiritHoods have been secretly working on something special for the past year and the first piece is finallyyy almost here!! “We got a TON of really cool things coming, but first up is this AMAZING faux fur onesie I co-designed with SpiritHoods! Just so you know, “faux” means “fake” and absolutely NO ANIMALS were harmed in the making of this. In fact, SpiritHoods donates 10% of their profits to helping endangered animals, so we’re actually HELPING animals! How cool is that?! The Grazer Wolf Onesie is so much fun to wear and it’s SO COMFY it’s crazy! It’d also make for an AWESOME Halloween costume! (RAWR!!).”
