While appearing on Late Show with David Letterman to promote his new gay prison comedy "I Love You Phillip Morris," Jim Carrey took the late-night talk show host to task for his dated line of questioning with regard to straight guys playing gay on film.
“We haven’t grown at all, have we?” the actor asked Letterman after being asked if he worried about his image as a heterosexual leading man after playing gay.
I Love You Phillip Morris, which also stars Ewam McGregor, hits theaters on December 3rd.
Saturday Night Live cast member Will Forte and guest host James Franco fully made out in a kissing family sketch last December, a scene that would’ve been super hot had Forte not been playing Franco’s grandfaather!
Here is the original sketch:
There was some serious tongue and even though it was for comedy, anyone would have felt pretty envious of Forte because, let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to make out with James Franco? We're sure even Sean Penn felt a bit jealous because even though James played his boyfriend in Milk, their kisses were tame compared to the SNL tongue-fest.
Appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman this week, Forte talked about that “very wet” kiss as he promoted his big starring role in the feature film MacGruber, based on a series of Saturday Night Live sketches.
In what was one of the most popular Super Bowl commercials of the night, late night hosts David Letterman and Jay Leno joined talk show host Oprah Winfrey in a 10 second spot for The Late Show with David Letterman.
Late Show executive producer Rob Burnett told Entertainment Weekly how the ad was shot without the press catching on:
“We began having logistical meetings that would make the CIA proud,” Rob said. “We had to figure out a way to keep it a surprise. NBC arranged to have Jay fly on the NBC jet at 7:30 in morning on February 2nd and he was at the Teterboro Airport [in New Jersey] at 3:30 pm. We snuck him through the front door on Broadway.”
“Jay wore a disguise …a hooded sweatshirt, dark sunglasses and a mustache. Fifteen minutes later, Oprah arrived … but not in a disguise. We shot it in the balcony of the Ed Sullivan Theater.”
Late-night TV can usually be counted on for a steady diet of jokes. Now it is the joke.
David Letterman joined in the skirmish Tuesday by making jokes about NBC's late-night host shuffle on the Late Show, according to a transcript of his opening monologue.
NBC vowed Sunday to push Conan O'Brien and the Tonight Show back to 12:05 am to make room for The Jay Leno Show at 11:35 pm. O'Brien balked at the idea, saying he refused to take part in the "destruction" of the Tonight Show brand and blasted the network for trying to patch up its ratings problems in prime-time by toying with its late-night lineup.
Letterman gleefully called the back-and-forth "chaos and craziness and mayhem" and quipped that an O'Brien departure would be good for his show on CBS. "You know what this means – that's right, I knocked off another competitor," Letterman said.
He also joked that President Barack Obama will have to name O'Brien's replacement if he leaves and suggested that the shakeup could be an act of terrorism.
"And now, according to The New York Times, Al Qaeda is claiming responsibility for the wreckage at NBC," Letterman said.
As for his experience with the situation, Letterman cracked that it's been "tough on my mom because for the last six months she's been forced to watch me."
