Viral Ali Wong Clip Proves She Takes No Shit From Belly-Rubbing Loser Comics

“Ali Wong Takes No Sh*t.”

That’s the name of a video that The Daily Show uploaded to its socials this week, a 2019 clip of Wong ranting to Trevor Noah about a crappy interaction with a fellow comic. Why this clip, and why now? Who knows, but it’s not hard to see why people are here for it to the tune of a million views in just a few days. Righteous takedowns are always welcome.

What’s the Deal with Seinfeld Carrying Water for All These Toxic Celebrities?

If there was one comic who looked like a decent human being in Rolling Stone’s takedown of Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show, it was Jerry Seinfeld. According to anonymous staffers, Seinfeld told Fallon he should apologize after inappropriately scolding a cue-card holder. Way to stick up for the little guy, Jerry! But then Seinfeld reached out to Rolling Stone with a correction: He didn’t defend anyone after all. “This is so stupid,” read Seinfeld’s statement. “I remember this moment quite well. I teased Jimmy about a flub, and we all had a fun laugh about how rarely Jimmy is thrown off. It was not uncomfortable at all. Jimmy and I still occasionally recall it and laugh. Idiotic twisting of events.”
