John Mulaney says Michael Jackson wasn’t the only person who grew up without a childhood, because nobody born before 1910 had one perhaps not unique
John: “People always go, ‘Oh, poor Michael Jackson, he had no childhood.’ But you know who else didn’t? Anyone born before 1910.”
“And they didn’t marry children with a giraffe as a witness.”
Conan: “We now know why John was not asked to give the eulogy at Michael Jackson’s funeral.”
John: “I had a nice version. I was perfectly willing to call an audible and switch it on the fly.”

Bob Odenkirk believes Ricky Gervais’ performance in the original British The Office is the greatest acting performances ever even putting it above Daniel Day-Lewis.
During a conversation with Mike Birbiglia, Bob didn’t hesitate when asked about the best acting performances he’s ever seen.
“I want to tell you what I think the best acting maybe ever is. Not Daniel Day-Lewis. Ricky Gervais in the first Office.”
He explained that what makes Ricky’s performance so special is how real and layered the character feels, despite being such an absurd person.
“It’s crazy how real he feels and how much there’s layers in what he’s doing. How much pain is inside this absolute clown of a human.”

Bob Odenkirk admitted he’s jealous of men who have young children at home because being a father gave his life a sense of purpose he hasn’t found elsewhere.
Reflecting on the last five years, he said he’s been feeling off balance and sometimes questions how he can remain meaningful in the world.
But when his children were growing up, he never had to ask himself those questions.
His purpose was simple: pick up everything between the house and the door, get the kids to school, make them laugh, and show up for them every day.
He even admitted that he envies fellow fathers like Kieran Culkin and Bill Burr, despite knowing how stressful raising children can be.
“ You know who you are when you leave here. You’re a dad.”
A reminder of how much meaning fatherhood can bring to someone’s life. ❤️

Bob Odenkirk and David Cross once came up with an improv sketch called “Naked Phrase Guess” that was so ridiculous, they saved it for a major charity event.
Bob explained that the two first performed the idea at the Montreal Comedy Festival, where David invited him to join him on stage.
They made up the concept that day and performed it that same night. Years later, when they were invited to appear at Comic Relief 8, they remembered the sketch and decided it was finally time to bring it back.
The premise? David asks the audience for a random phrase while Bob leaves the stage. Bob then returns, and the two perform an improvised scene where he has to guess the phrase from David’s clues.
Even after all these years, the story behind how they came up with it is hilarious.

Sir Patrick Stewart supports assisted dying and he believes terminally ill people should have the right to decide when and how they die.
During the interview, Patrick carefully explained that assisted dying is different from both euthanasia and assisted suicide.
Under the proposal he supports, the option would only be available to mentally competent adults with six months or less to live.
He explained that two independent doctors and a High Court judge would have to confirm that the person meets the criteria and is making a clear, informed decision without pressure or coercion.
He also broke down the distinctions:
• Euthanasia: Someone intentionally ends another person’s life to relieve their suffering.
• Assisted suicide: Someone intentionally helps another person end their own life.
• Assisted dying: A proposed legal option specifically for terminally ill people nearing the end of their lives.
Patrick emphasized that the safeguards are essential to ensuring the decision belongs to the person facing terminal illness.
I’ve always loved seeing Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart together. Their bond as Wolverine and Professor X was something special, and you could tell there was genuine respect between them beyond the movies.
Knowing they even shared such an emotional moment watching Logan together makes Hugh’s words hit harder.
“I will miss you, Patrick Stewart, all of my days.” 💔@man0ld
We lost one of the greats of stage and screen today. And, in my book, a tremendous friend and man. I learned so much from him. I will miss you, Patrick Stewart, all of my days. @mang0ld

Patrick Stewart says movies were his escape from a difficult childhood, long before he ever imagined his own hands and feet would be immortalized in Hollywood. 🥹❤️
Speaking about his handprints at the TCL Chinese Theatre, the Star Trek legend recalled visiting the famous Hollywood landmark in 1968 as a young, nonprofessional actor with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
He went with a fellow actor named Ben Kingsley, and the two stood looking at the handprints and signatures of Hollywood legends, wondering what it would be like to have their own.
Decades later, Patrick found himself doing exactly that.
He explained that American movies had always had a huge influence on him because, growing up, they offered an escape from a childhood that “wasn’t great.”
“ I didn’t have to be Patrick Stewart anymore. I could be somebody else and lead another life other than the life that I was leading.”
From a young actor admiring Hollywood legends with Ben Kingsley to having his own place among them. ❤️
Sir Patrick Stewart revealed the heartbreaking story that strengthened his support for terminally ill people having the right to choose how and when they die. 💔
The Star Trek actor explained that a close friend once told him about his wife, who was suffering from advanced cancer and desperately wanted her suffering to end.
After an unsuccessful overdose, she waited until her husband took their dog for one final walk before taking her own life at home.
Patrick described it as a traumatic, painful way to die and an equally devastating experience for the husband who had to discover what happened.
For Patrick, the story highlighted why he believes terminally ill people deserve a legal, compassionate option that allows them to avoid unnecessary suffering.
He also emphasized that the issue isn’t just about the person dying, but about the emotional and psychological toll their final moments can leave on the people they love. 💔

Sophie Cunningham told Theo Von she should’ve been a lesbian as a child after Von’s basketball-themed pickup line the reason she gave is hilarious.
Theo had just come up with a basketball-themed pickup line for her:
“If there’s a girl flirting with you on the court, ‘Let me cross you up and then uncross you.’”
Sophie admitted it was actually a great pickup line, but said nobody had ever used it on her.
Then she dropped this: “I shoulda been a frickin’ lesbian, dude. They said I had the fuckin’ heart of a lesbian when I was a child.”
