Will Ferrell Does Late-Hour Ad Blitz For Kamala Harris

Will Ferrell Does Late-Hour Ad Blitz For Kamala Harris

US-ENTERTAINMENT-FILM

Will Ferrell has ramped up his support for Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign in its final hours by filming an ad and doing a street comedy sketch.

The presidential election campaign season is coming to a close, and comedian Will Ferrell has been putting huge effort into his support for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. Last week, he teamed up with fellow comedian Billy Eichner to revive Eichner’s beloved video series with a special episode entitled Billy on The Street with Will Ferrell: Loud White Men For Kamala Harris.

The three-minute commercial shows Eichner and Ferrell on the streets of New York City encountering pedestrians and loudly compelling them to vote for Harris and her running mate Tim Walz and, per a statement from Eicnher’s publicist, “do everything we possibly can to protect Americans from Donald Trump in these crucial final days of Early Voting and exactly one week before Election Day.” The video was a hit online, earning over 12 million views just 24 hours after it premiered on the Bros actor’s social media profiles. It was the latest episode in a series that ran online for two years, raising Eichner’s profile in the comedy world.

Ferrell also starred in an ad specifically for the Harris-Walz campaign where he implores undecided voters – particularly one named Gary who he addresses in a comically menacing fashion. ‘This election is going to be one of the closest in history, your vote will make the difference – that means you Gary…,’ he begins, looking directly into the camera. “Oh, blah, blah, blah, I’m just one person – no, shut the f—k up Gary.” The ad continues with somber music as the Talladega Nights star underscores how close the victory was for President Joe Biden in 2020:  ‘Last time only a few thousand votes kept Trump out of office and this time we will hold you personally responsible,’ before closing out imploring “Gary” to go out and vote.

The ads come as numerous celebrities have thrown their weight behind Vice President Harris’ campaign in the past weeks and days, with Cardi B and Alicia Keys joining her for campaign rallies in Wisconsin over the past weekend and famed actor Robert DeNiro was spotted engaging potential voters at the tailgate for the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday (November 3).

Drake Calls DeMar DeRozen A “Pu**y” At Toronto Raptors Game

Drake Calls DeMar DeRozen A “Pu**y” At Toronto Raptors Game

Indiana Pacers v Toronto Raptors - Game Seven

It seems like just yesterday Drake and former Toronto Raptors star, DeMar DeRozan were rubbing elbows and enjoying a bromance North of the border. But with DeRozan’s appearance in Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” video, Drake has soured on his one-time buddy.

According to TMZ, the unforeseen drama between the two men was put on public display this past Saturday (November 2) when Drake and his right-hand man, OVO Chubbs parked themselves on some courtside seats at the Toronto Raptors game on the night that DeMar DeRozan’s Sacramento Kings team were in town.

Attending the game on the same night as Vince Carter’s jersey retirement ceremony, Drake could be seen ice-grilling DeRozan every chance he got as the player did his best to ignore the cold stares.

Drake even went so far as to say that if the one-time Raptors star were to ever get his jersey retired he’d go up to the rafts and pull it down himself.

Drizzy is still salty that DeRozan seemingly chose a side in the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle though he has since said that he’s got love for Drake. The 6 God is, apparently, an unforgiving one.

As if that comment weren’t a statement enough, Drake was seen calling DeMar a “pu**y” while standing courtside during the game.

When asked about the comments Drake made, DeRozan kept it professional and didn’t indulge in any real back-and-forth.

Per TMZ:

During the post-game press conference, DeRozan learned about Drake’s banner remarks … and from the look on his face, he wasn’t pleased.

“He gon’ have a long way to climb to take it down,” DeRozan said. “Tell him good luck.”

Drake is being hella petty out here for no real reason, but hey, so are a lot of rappers in the Hip-Hop game. It might be time to call in Will Ferrell to help squash this beef.

What do you think about Drake’s comments toward his former homie? Let us know in the comments section below.

Man Claims To Have Videos Of Diddy Freaking With A-Listers And Minors

Man Claims To Have Videos Of Diddy Freaking With A-Listers And Minors

The CORE DJs Retreat Bad Boy Party

The claims against Diddy are getting even wilder. A man says he has videotapes of the mogul having sex with other celebrities including two child stars.

As spotted on Page Six, a man named Courtney Burgess is stepping forward with some very wild allegations about the founder of Bad Boy Entertainment. The self-proclaimed music executive was interviewed on NewsNation’s Banfield show.

During the Q&A hearing he revealed that he has several flash drives given to him by the late Kim Porter. In them, Burgess says are videos of Diddy and other celebrities, specifically six men and two women. Even more egregious is his claim that two of the proposed a-listers were minors at the time. Burgess would go on to detail that all the high-profile stars in the footage appeared to him to be under the influence and were victims.

On Thursday (Oct. 31), he testified before a grand jury in Manhattan. TMZ caught up with him and his attorney Ariel Mitchell outside and were able to get some additional details and clarification. Burgess explained that not only does he have possession of the tapes but also an unedited version of Kim Porter’s memoir.

Earlier this year, Jamal T. Milwood published a book titled Kim’s Last Words. The purported memoir was written by investigative journalist Chris Todd and contained several serious accusations against Diddy, including claims of physical abuse and sexual debauchery. Porter’s children soon denounced the release, prompting Amazon and Barnes & Noble to pull it. Ariel confirmed they are looking to release their unedited version for sale shortly.

Sources tell TMZ that federal prosecutors have subpoenaed him and have demanded he turn over all his files which include Diddy. You can see the NewsNation interview with Courtney Burgess below.

John Oliver Tearfully Pleads With Viewers To Vote For Kamala Harris

John Oliver Tearfully Pleads With Viewers To Vote For Kamala Harris

Sesame Workshop 2024 Benefit Gala

Last Week Tonight With John Oliver concluded its Sunday (November 3) broadcast by reminding viewers that it was the show’s final episode ahead of Election Day this coming Tuesday. In an impassioned and tearful plea, John Oliver urged the public to get out and vote for Vice President Kamala Harris citing the presidential hopeful’s policy plans.

John Oliver, who has been vocally critical of Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance, began his closing monologue Last Week Tonight mentioning how the race is currently too close to call despite the recent Madison Square Garden rally where racist comments and jokes were delivered along with gaffes made by Trump while on the campaign trail.

While much of the monologue was a takedown of the Trump-Vance campaign from a comical angle, Oliver did illustrate how a Trump-Vance administration would put into power individuals such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who would oversee health policies according to Trump despite his controversial takes.

Oliver was clear in noting that the race is close as it is due to Harris herself and the connections to President Joe Biden, the ongoing conflict in Israel and Palestine, and the culture wars here in the States. However, the host said that despite this, he is casting a vote for Kamala Harris in hopes that if she wins, the next four years can bring about effective change.

Check out the monologue from John Oliver below.
