00:00 Ellen DeGeneres faced significant backlash after making a joke on her show, comparing
00:05 self-quarantining in her multimillion-dollar mansion during the COVID-19 pandemic to being
00:10 in jail.
00:11 One thing that I've learned from being in quarantine is that people, uh, this is like
00:16 being in jail is what it is.
00:18 It's mostly because I've been wearing the same clothes for 10 days and everyone in here
00:22 is gay.
00:24 Critics labeled the comment as tone deaf, highlighting the stark contrast between her
00:28 comfortable quarantine conditions and the harsh realities of prison life, especially
00:32 amidst rising COVID-19 cases in prisons.
00:37 Samantha Bee faced criticism for using a derogatory term to describe Ivanka Trump during a segment
00:42 of her show, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.
00:44 Do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless c**t.
00:49 He listens to you.
00:52 Bee apologized for the remark, which was widely condemned for its vulgarity and personal attack.
00:57 This time I used it as an insult.
00:59 I crossed the line.
01:00 I regret it and I do apologize for that.
01:03 Tracy Morgan faced backlash for making homophobic remarks during a stand-up comedy show, which
01:09 were deemed offensive and hurtful.
01:11 Being gay is stupid.
01:12 If you want to see a penis, take off your pants.
01:15 If I got turned into a gay, I'd sit around all day and look at my own junk.
01:20 Morgan later apologized and met with LGBTQ+ groups to discuss the impact of his words.
01:25 From the bottom of my heart, I apologize to everybody who I offended with my words on
01:32 stage.
01:34 James Corden's Spill Your Gut segment on the Late Late Show has been criticized for
01:38 cultural insensitivity.
01:40 The segment features a choice between answering personal questions or eating foods labeled
01:44 as disgusting, which often include dishes from various cultures.
01:48 Oh, it's also yummy, yummy, yummy.
01:52 Critics argue that this perpetuates stereotypes and anti-Asian racism by mocking foods that
01:57 are part of people's heritage.
01:59 In response to the backlash and a petition, Corden stated the segment would avoid using
02:04 such foods in the future.
02:05 I don't mind people with meats out, but I'm literally like holding back throwing up a
02:12 little bit.
02:13 Amy Schumer's joke about Ryan Dunn during the Comedy Central roast of Charlie Sheen
02:17 sparked controversy for its perceived insensitivity.
02:20 Steve-O is here, Steve-O, great try.
02:23 Sorry for the loss of your friend Ryan Dunn.
02:25 I know you must have been thinking it could have been me, and I know we were all thinking,
02:28 "Why wasn't it?"
02:33 Schumer joked about the tragic death of Dunn in a car crash, leading to mixed reactions
02:37 from the audience and online commentators.
02:40 Some found the joke to be in poor taste, considering it too soon after Dunn's passing, while others
02:45 argued that controversial humor is typical of roast.
02:48 Oh, Mike, stay away from me.
02:53 Stephen Colbert faced criticism for a joke he made about President Trump, which many
02:57 considered to be homophobic.
02:59 You talk like a sign language gorilla who got hit in the head.
03:02 In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin's b******t holster.
03:07 Despite the backlash, he did not offer a full apology, but emphasized that anyone expressing
03:12 love in their own way is an American hero.
03:14 You can take that any way you want.
03:17 We got a great show for you tonight.
03:20 Daniel Tosh, a comedian and host of Tosh.0, faced significant criticism for making a rape
03:25 joke during a stand-up comedy set, which was directed at a female audience member.
03:30 Beat it, s**t.
03:31 Go get raped in your own corner.
03:33 The incident sparked a debate about the appropriateness of rape jokes and led to Tosh issuing an apology.
03:39 I play practical jokes on her constantly, though.
03:41 I replaced her pepper spray with silly string.
03:44 Anyway, that night she got raped.
03:47 Shane Gillis faced backlash and was fired from Saturday Night Live before his debut

03:59 Chinatown's f**king nuts.
04:00 It's crazy, dude.
04:01 It is full f**king China, dude.
04:02 It's f**king Chinese down there.
04:03 Yeah.
04:04 How the f**king chinks live there, huh?
04:07 This incident led to significant controversy, especially since he was hired at the same
04:12 time as Boon Yong, SNL's first Asian-American cast member.

04:18 And I was convinced I was getting fired.
04:19 Like, I knew I was getting fired.
04:22 Jimmy Kimmel faced significant backlash for wearing blackface in past comedic sketches
04:27 where he impersonated black athletes.
04:28 Carmelo never seen no flying saucer himself, but if he do, that's gonna be a spooky time.
04:35 His actions were criticized for perpetuating racial stereotypes and insensitivity, leading
04:40 to public apologies from Kimmel.
04:42 Listen up, E.T.
04:43 You better stay the hell back.
04:44 Nah, no, nah, no.
04:47 Until next time.
04:49 Kelly Osbourne's attempt to criticize Donald Trump's remarks about Mexican immigrants on
04:53 The View led to her own controversy.
04:56 If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet,
05:00 Donald Trump?
05:01 Oh, that's...
05:02 In the sense that, you know what I mean?
05:03 Like, what I'm saying that...
05:04 There's more jobs to be had.
05:05 In LA, they always...
05:06 But Latinos are not only the only people doing that.
05:07 No, I didn't mean it like that.
05:11 Come on.
05:12 Kimmel's comment drew significant backlash on social media for its insensitivity, despite
05:17 Osbourne's immediate backtrack and clarification that she didn't mean it derogatorily.
05:22 She later expressed responsibility for her choice of words but refused to apologize for
05:27 being labeled a racist.
05:28 If I saw that clip just for the ten seconds, I'd hate me too.
05:32 But I got cut off, I didn't get to finish what I was going to say, which turned the
05:35 first half of it into a joke.
05:37 But even if I told you what I was going to say, people wouldn't believe me anyway.
05:41 Kim Kardashian received backlash for her business advice to women, with critics highlighting
05:46 her privileged background and questioning the relevance of her advice to ordinary people.
05:50 I have the best advice for women in business.
05:53 Get your f***ing ass up and work.
05:55 It seems like nobody wants to work these days.
05:58 The controversy underscored the disconnect some perceived between Kardashian's experiences
06:03 and those of the general working public.
06:05 It wasn't a blanket statement towards women or to feel like I don't respect the work or
06:12 think that they don't work hard.
06:14 I know that they do.
06:17 Stephen Colbert faced criticism for a comment he made on his show, implying he wouldn't

06:31 I'm willing to pay $4 a gallon.
06:32 Hell, I'll pay $15 a gallon because I drive a Tesla.

06:54 I get it.
06:55 Like, I respect it.
06:56 But at the same time, like, even if everybody gets it, like, yeah, people are going to die.
07:05 She appeared to downplay the severity of the situation by suggesting that people dying
07:09 from the virus was inevitable, which many viewed as insensitive given the global crisis
07:14 at scale and the loss of lives.
07:16 I realized today that some of my comments are being taken out of context.
07:21 It's a crazy time.
07:22 It's a crazy, crazy time.
07:24 I don't take the situation lightly.
07:26 By any means, I am home.

07:56 I did not mean to offend my LGBTQ plus community.

08:21 spectrum for its graphic and violent nature, leading to Griffin losing work, including
08:25 her role as a co-host on CNN New Year's Eve broadcast.

08:36 noise.
