Comedy Cowards: Late Night, ‘SNL’ (Mostly) Ignore Antisemitism Spike
Give “Saturday Night Live’s” disastrous Ivy League presidents sketch a little credit.

Will Ferrell: ‘Isn’t It Just Time for Women to Run the Planet?
Will Ferrell did his part to smash the “patriarchy” in 2023. The “Elf” alum played the head of Mattel in “Barbie,” the year’s box office champion and a nonstop feminist screed.
