NOMINEES:
Rachel Maddow: Trump Is Ensuring that AI Can Kill Us All
“So, Trump moved explicitly to make sure no human can interfere with robots’ ability to kill us. So, it’s, like, been hard, I think, to imagine, ‘How is it that the A.I. Apocalypse would happen?’ ‘How is it that A.I. might kill us?’ Well, the really easy thing to imagine is them using military weapons to kill us, and Trump is intervening to make sure they can.”
— MS NOW host Rachel Maddow on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, September 29.
Erin Burnett: Trump TV is “Reminiscent of What You Would Find in North Korea”
“TrumpTV has so far aired Trump’s inauguration, his new helipad dedication, which, by the way, because there was no pool and no audio, right? His speech to the UN. It’s a weird sort of form of state TV. I mean, right now, with everything going on, people want to rewatch his inauguration? It’s kind of reminiscent of what you would find in North Korea.”
— Host Erin Burnett on CNN’s Erin Burnett Outfront, September 22.
Producer Chuck Lorre: I Wake Up Every Morning to Turn On CNN to Find Out If Trump Died From a Heart Attack
“The burden of my profession demands that I take this opportunity to say a few words about that bloated orange piece of shit in the White House....I’d love to express my gratitude to all the people who’ve devoted their lives to making Project Angel Food an oasis for those in need. That would be my preference. But because I’m a comedy writer, I have no choice but to explain how I wake up every morning to turn on CNN to see if the President of the United States had a heart attack while straining to take a dump.”
— CBS’s Big Bang Theory producer Chuck Lorre accepting an award at Project Angel Food’s Angel Awards in Los Angeles, September 26.
