Happy Birthday, Sofía Vergara!
Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on Modern Family is sharp, glamorous, and hilarious, and Phil Dunphy’s totally sincere, forever-awkward crush on her never gets old.
Honestly, I get it 😂🤣

Norm Macdonald really told Conan his wife went into a coma just to drop the "Doc, she's choking" punchline 💀
Conan completely losing it makes it even better.

Late night hasn't been the same since. 😂😂

I deplore much of what Ann Widdecombe stood for, but I've never been able to see her the same way since this legendary Harry and Paul sketch, which really nails how she became a lazy punchline for a generation of smug comedians, largely based on sexist swipes at her looks. R.I.P.

Putin weaponized the justice system; he went after the media, the universities, and even pulled a comedy show off the air because it made fun of him. On this episode of Open Book, I sit down with Jamison Firestone, a guy who survived mobsters, bugged the Russian police, and watched his friend Sergei Magnitsky get tortured and killed for exposing the truth. We talk Yeltsin, Putin, Navalny, and yes, I ask him what Putin actually has on Trump. His answer might surprise you.

Watch/Listen on X, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Laila Cunningham on @JeremyVineOn5 desperately trying to defend Reform’s “call a General Election NOW” line… only to get completely owned.

Kevin Maguire nails the hypocrisy on by-elections in defected seats and the mic drop lands:

“You’ve just undermined everything you’ve said.”

Someone needs to save Laila from herself.

These TV appearances are getting painful to watch 😬

It’s incredible what happens when you put an actual economist next to this fraud.

Well done to @K_Niemietz for demolishing Gary Stevenson’s entire schtick in seconds.

Share this video with all your famous and friends. A total masterclass.
