The People vs Larry Flynt has never been more relevant. A beautiful film made by one my favorite directors ever Miloš Forman, this is a story about pornographer Larry Flynt’s right to freedom from censorship under the First Amendment. Very applicable. Very entertaining.
I worked at McDonald’s when I was in high school, and I’m voting for Kamala!
Who else worked at McDonald’s?

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a patriot of the highest order.
Here’s my full statement: barackobama.medium.com/my-st…
What a blast! So awesome to be with these three demented geniuses at @am_cinematheque! If you haven’t seen The Wrong Guy, see it NOW!!
Tomorrow!
Honored to have The Wrong Guy included in this celebration of beloved but forgotten movies, by the American Cinémathèque.

Comedy alert! I'm hosting a screening of THE WRONG GUY. Dave Foley plays a guy who thinks he's been framed for murder. He goes on the run, while the cops ignore him. It is SO FUNNY! @DaveSFoley, @DAnthonyHiggins & @JayKogen will all be in attendance! Wow!

What a blast! I saw @thisisHelder's newest theatrical wonder, The Hope Theory. Run! Don't walk! This is a knockout of a show. It's enchanting magic, laced within Helder's personal tale as an immigrant. Kudos to director @LeDoctor! It's at the Geffen.
Roger and me. It's the 25th anniversary of @ebertfest, and it's also the 25th anniversary of Man On The Moon! So, we're showing it tonight!
RIP Joe Flaherty, one of the funniest people of all time! God was he funny on @SCTV! Count Floyd, Guy Caballero, wow, did Joe have unique rhythms and verbal attacks. Comic gold. I had the pleasure of once directing Joe. He was a total sweetheart. Yes, you can meet your heroes.
Massive, Massive, MASSIVE turnout at the @IATSE, @Teamsters, Hollywood crafts rally! WOW. @WGAWest was out in force, to support our union brothers and sisters! Solidarity! #wgastrong
Go Mel! What an awesome night at the Governors Awards! It was an honor to be with Mel Brooks, as he received his honorary Oscar and achieved a Double EGOT! How insane is that? And how richly deserved.
@MelBrooks @TheAcademy
I’m sad to hear about the passing of the great Tommy Smothers. I’ve always loved the comedy, musical delight, and social justice of The Smothers Brothers. They were total originals, and Tommy crafted the act. They were the longest-lasting comedy team in showbiz history!
That was insane and fantastic. We thought Tommy would stay for five minutes, but he hung out all afternoon, regaling us with stories. Tommy could tell Larry and I were serious fans, as well as showbiz connoisseurs, so he gave us the good stuff. He even did his Carson impression.
