“Zendaya is here. Zendaya, you were amazing in Dune. Oh my god, I woke up for all of your scenes. You were so good. And Challenger That was so good. I mean, that movie was more sexual than Diddy’s credit card,” she joked. “Yeah, I’m frustrated too. The after-party is going to be a disaster this year. But we have to move on. Stanley Tucci’s weirdo just doesn’t have the same ring to it. This year, baby oil is I don’t use any, just use plenty of olive oil.
Another article that didn’t make the cut was an allusion to Luigi Mangioni, who was charged with murder in the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

She says she almost made the following joke before deciding not to go in that direction. “I loved the conclave.” It’s about choosing a new pope. It was heartwarming. So moving that the church will have to move it to another theater. Tip: No ID is required to attend the conclave after party.

Another joke that wasn’t told was, “Only ‘Bill’s Murder Case’ is great.” I think it’s so cool that legends like Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Meryl Streep are still doing it.

The last thing said was, “To sound like Bob Dylan, Timothée Chalamet took years of vocal lessons. Apparently it takes that long to smoke 40,000 cigarettes.” Timothy took guitar, dialect, and vocal lessons to become Bob Dylan, but Bob Dylan became Bob Dylan the old-fashioned way: heroin and autism. I’m undiagnosed, but here we go, lots of songs about trains.
