Jimmy Kimmel gave the most important monologue in American history. I love TV and I believe in the unifying power of comedy. Long live Late Night and the fearless storytellers who bring everyone into the conversation.

JIMMY KIMMEL IS BACK ON THE AIR TOMORROW!!! DO NOT MESS WITH ARTISTS. WE ARE FUELED BY REJECTION, UNPHASED BY FAILURE, ACTIVATED BY SPITE, AND SUBSIST ON A STEADY DIET OF DELUSION THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. YOU CANNOT DEFEAT US.

The sexiest thing on the planet is empathy, so dudes complaining about not getting any action, I guarantee don’t have any.

As a nation, if we had more Broadcast sitcoms and shared experiences like Late Night TV, we wouldn’t be so divided and overly sensitized to topical commentary. Comedy is supposed to shine a light on current events. You don’t have to like it or agree, but silencing it is severing society.

Hollywood has a saying about “sending the elevator back down” to help those on the way up. Robert Redford epitomized this. He didn’t just climb the ladder for himself. He lifted others as he rose. His legacy isn’t just the roles he played, but the countless storytellers he elevated along the way.

Robert Redford was one of a kind. That rare mix of sauve and substance. Brilliant actor, humanitarian, godfather of indie film, and tireless champion for justice and the arts. He fought for underrepresented voices to be heard and we should all be forever grateful for his. See you at the movies, sir.

I am BAWLING. Noah Wyle deserves this Emmy so much. The sheer force of emotion he conjured in every moment of THE PITT was staggering. Dr. Robby is the embodiment of the internal battle we all face as we try to traverse the sorrow and horrors of this life. Thank you for your service. #Emmys

The artists will save us. #Emmys

“In a time of great division, storytelling still has the power to unite us. For years, television has challenged the status quo and bent the arc of history toward justice.” WE NEED SHARED EXPERIENCES TO SURVIVE. WE NEED SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS SITCOMS. LONG LIVE TV. #Emmys

Cristin Milioti getting her due is exhilarating. And I love that she wrote her speech on the back of a scrap of paper in therapy. We need the raw honesty and soulfulness of actors living their dreams because they reach our hearts through the screen and give us hope. #Emmys

This #Emmys is awesome, but not one person thanking Sal Saperstein is very disappointing.

Owen Cooper pulling off what he did in ADOLESCENCE in one continuous take at 15-years-old rivals even the most accomplished seasoned actor and I am overjoyed for this kid, who ended his speech with “what matters most happens behind the camera.” Keep an eye on this one. #Emmys

JEFF HILLER JEFF HILLER JEFF HILLER!!! I AM CRYING. HE IS AMAZING AND DIDN’T MAKE IT UNTIL HE WAS 40. NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS. #Emmys

Hannah Einbinder is a comedy legacy with massive amounts of talent and even more integrity, who always uses her platform for good. This Emmys feels healing. #Emmys

I am tearing up that everyone in the audience is singing along to THE GOLDEN GIRLS theme song. Comedy is vital and this show is timeless. Thank you for being a friend. #Emmys

“My first acting coach was tough, but all great mothers are.” - Tramell Tillman What a class act and an even more well deserved win in a STACKED category of phenomenal actors. #Emmys

Yesssss I literally just screamed when they said Katherine LaNasa’s name. Her performances on THE PITT were masterful. #Emmys

I hope Jean Smart winning Best Actress at 74-years-old, glowing like the vibrant powerhouse she is, will be another reminder that life doesn’t end at 40 and women just get better with age. #Emmys

We all owe Mike White a debt of gratitude for bringing Jennifer Coolidge back into our lives. #Emmys

A STANDING OVATION FOR STEPHEN COLBERT. I LOVE HOLLYWOOD. #Emmys

“Will there be a network for white people?” “Yes, CBS.” “… the Caucasian Broadcast Network.” Strong start to this year’s #Emmys.

Natasha Rothwell is absolutely OWNING the #Emmys red carpet.

As much as I love SEVERANCE, the pacing, emotional heft, and heavy social issues THE PITT tackled with such humanity and grace deserves to be recognized. I hope they sweep The Emmys tonight.

If winning husbands were a lottery, I hit the jackpot. @davidgrosstv.bsky.social is hilarious, kind, brilliant, and changed my life for the better in every way. I'll be crushing on him like a starry-eyed teenager till I'm sneaking Metamucil in our margaritas. Happy Birthday, D. I love you forever.

THE ELECTRICITY THAT OASIS IS INJECTING INTO EVERY CITY ON THIS TOUR IS WHY WE NEED COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCES MORE THAN EVER AND I WILL KEEP SHOUTING IT NONSTOP UNTIL WE BRING BACK MALLS, VIDEO STORES, PACKED MOVIE THEATRES, AND EVERY COMMUNITY SPACE WE NEED TO THRIVE AS A SOCIETY.

Artists will save us. The musicians. The poets. The screenwriters. The hopeful malcontents who fight the status quo. The soulful misfits who make us see ourselves for who we are and who we’re meant to be. We’re not done. Listen. Believe. Fight. Find the joy. It’s not gone. It’s our ammunition.

THUNDERBOLTS* is phenomenal. Shame on viewers for not showing up in theatres. But you can support it on streaming. AND be reminded superhero movies aren’t just about mighty powers and special effects but the humanity behind them, and that true strength comes from needing and relying on each other.

Everyone in America right now is like the whiny child in the backseat of a car on a family vacation: “HOW MUCH LONGER??!”

People outside of LA cannot even imagine the collective trauma we’ve been through and yet we still show up for our community every day, support our local restaurants, and rally over tacos and Korean BBQ wearing our battle scars proudly. That’s the magic of LA.

Watching TV shows from before there was the Internet and social media should be a required course in school.
