Jimmy Kimmel wins Peabody Award
We live in a country where some of the best journalists are late night comedians & editorial cartoonists. THANK YOU Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, Tom Tomorrow, Mike Luckovich & Michael de Adder ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! #LAUGH_DO_NOT_DESPAIR ✊
@deadder.bsky.social Well Described by one of the best cartoonist. 👍🏻
and some of the best not mentioned here don’t even work for daddy billionaire! shocking but true
Cheers! To Comedy & Comedians & Cartoonists 🍸Bravo! 🖤
A former actor and comedian is now leading the greatest active military libration movement being conducted on the planet at this time. Slava Ukraini!
In other news, Marco is ready to hit the stage when called upon. 🤣
Micheal de Adder is Canadian, but we'll let you claim him for this.
It's just sinking in for me how much Colbert was part of keeping me sane 😭
We need comedians, not Republicans.
The great Jimmy Kimmel’s monologues very funny— but just as importantly, chalked full of information! That is why Trump is desperate to silence him. Trump-Epstein Files™️ #LAUGH_DO_NOT_DESPAIR
Don't forget these American journalistic icons...
And thanks to those journalists brave enough to stand up to their media overlords and tell the truth (Scott Pelley and Sharon Alfonso).
True, We live in a country where some of the best journalists are late night Comedians & Cartoonists, YET NOBODY THANKS “OUR GREATEST PRESIDENT EVER” FOR MAKING AMERICA 🇺🇸 TRULY INSANELY CRAZY 😝 FUNNY AGAIN! TRUMP IS FULL-GOOSE BOZO 🤡 & DESERVES MORE RECOGNITION & AWARDS for making THE WORLD🌎 LAUGH!
Don’t forget graphic designers! ; )
Don’t forget Jon Stewart and The Daily Show! 💙
Love these guys. BTW, this @deadder.bsky.social cartoon concerning Trump and Iran rules . . .
Canadian here Mark and just so you know, Michael de Adder is ours and yes, he’s brilliant!
Mr de Adder is Canadian. Another great editorial cartoonist is Bruce MacKinnon. Also Canadian. A few of his recent cartoons.
The DT Tunnel of Terror....
One of my favorites is Pulitzer prize winning editorial cartoonist @claybennett.bsky.social. He is with the Chattanooga Times.
Just fyi - Michael de Adder is one of us - Canadian, eh!
You missed some females in that list of names..
@deadder.bsky.social is a genius! Love his work.
Amen. I love that you include editorial cartoonists too.
CNN for entertainment. Comedy Central for news.
The late great George Carlin.
When do we get our Zelenskyy? The regime could be devastated by a politician with the insight and fearlessness of a comedian.
American journalism is a weak shadow of its former self.
Is 🍁 @deadder.bsky.social also 🇺🇸 🤔
Been feeling Stephen withdrawl for sure. Though maybe he should recall what happened when another comedian lost his show, he became the president of Ukraine. Shout out to the ladies too. I recall when Samatha Bee had a show and the ladies from the Daily show we knew. 😉🦆💞💙
Mark, you are definitely one in a million. Thank you for being here on BlueSky. I do enjoy seeing you each day.
Agreed! #DumpTrump and his tiny hands
Luckovich and de Adder never fail to nail it. They're excellent.
It would be amazing if journalists started not worrying about their jobs and started throwing real hard questions to Trump They could lose their jobs anyway so might as well go down fighting like Steven Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel People will respect them
Thank you for the specific shoutout to the fantastic @mluckovich.bsky.social of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. May have local bias here, but as far as I can tell Mike is the best editorial cartoonist in the biz
Jimmy Kimmel. Love that guy. He has such a good heart
can you just imagine what Laugh-In would've done to Fat Loaf????
Don’t forget Jon Stewart and his team at the daily show! As well!’
Don't forget Jon Stewart of the Daily Show who actually started the careers of both Colbert and John Oliver. I get better news from Daily Show and Last Week Tonight than I do from the "mainstream" news channels.
Can we start including women in the boys club? I adore a lot of these guys, but there are women who are being excluded, even by them. Colbert platformed 4 to 5 men for each woman in his last two weeks. If we’re going to fix what’s wrong with this country, it needs to include the patriarchy.
Mark, please include Marc Murphy! @murphycartoons.bsky.social
You missed out Jon Stewart !❤️
Thanks for including DeAdder - huge fan!!!
Fallon not so much, he tries not to say anything from what I have seen.
Jon Stewart, Christopher Titus, and that Liberal Red Neck Trae Crowder. And Since the fairer sex appears to be under represented : Samantha Bee, Amber Ruffin, Desi Lydic and Taylor Tomlinson.
Seems like they're the only ones brave enough to stand up to the wimpiest bully in the world.
I guess Jon Stewart doesn’t count since he’s once a week, right? 😆
Strike Force Five are mental health professionals at this point.
Comedians are not journalists. The best journalists are journalists. They do original reporting. Comedians may well be the best *observers* of our time, which is important but not the same. Like op-ed columnists, they comment on the news that journalists investigate and report.
I've always felt this way ✌🏼
I waited inline on my 9th bday for 3hrs to see Star Wars and since then I’ve heard republicans tout- law & order, free speech, states rights, national security, fiscal & personal responsibility etc. and they have abandoned every one. Going forward they’re gonna have some credibility issues.
White men are not our saviors
And the daily show writers!!
You forgot @johnbuss.bsky.social and if you aren’t familiar with his work you’re missing out.
Don’t thank Fallon. He did PR for Trump in 2015 by having him on. He knew what he was doing.
Don't forget The Daily Show.
They speak the truth with a few jokes sprinkled in!
Forgot Jon Stewart, and the crew at The Daily Show, Mark.
Preach! They're the ones keeping us informed, entertained, and slightly less despondent.
Been true for the past 20 years.
Yes, thank you for keeping us all sane during this nightmare.
Imagine thinking that is journalism. Yikes.
Michael de Adder is Canadian, but Thanks.
And props to all their researchers and writers as well.
Humor is so very effective because it bypasses the regular filters. Delivers the message!
Their incredible courage shines an unflattering and very bright light on the cowardice of so many others.
The Force is strong with them.
Oh look... Trump has no executive brain.
I love those guys. Kimmell cracks me the fuck up when he insults them.
Agreed, though I'm not sure Fallon belongs on this list. He not only did his part to normalize Trump, but he's hardly a paragon of hard-hitting comical critiques of the regime.
de Adder (great Canadian🍁kid) and Tom the Dancing Bug are the best.
