Though Sunny Hostin has often come for Alyssa Farah Griffin on “The View” over her cohost’s employment history with former president Donald Trump, she made a bit of a sudden 180 on Tuesday morning. Now, Hostin admits that she can “appreciate” Farah Griffin’s initial hopes to do some good in the Trump administration.To kick off Tuesday’s Hot Topics discussion on the ABC talk show, the women naturally came to Trump’s latest interview first.
In it, he told Fox News’ Bret Baier that he held onto several boxes of classified documents because he’s “very busy” and didn’t get a chance to go through them and clear out his own personal belongings.In watching some clips of the interview, Farah Griffin noted that Trump “incriminated himself five times to Sunday,” prompting host Joy Behar to once again ask what it was that drove Farah Griffin to work for him to begin with, questioning if it was specifically the idea that she could “fix him.”“Yes. And I don’t know if it’s naive, or maybe it was hubris at the time,” Farah Griffin said.
“It’s like one or the other, maybe a weird mix of both, is that you thought you could make him better. You could convince him that you know what’s right and what’s wrong.”And though it’s not the first time that Farah Griffin has explained her logic, Hostin sympathized this time.“It’s also a great opportunity, you know?” Hostin said.

Schneider told “Fox & Friends” on Monday that the secret to modern comedy comes from appealing to the demand for someone who isn’t afraid to push back against censorship or “go against the grain.”Here are some can’t-miss moments from the actor-comedian’s latest endeavor, exclusively available on Fox Nation:Schneider said he voted for Trump – a few times – in 2016.“It was in California, and I was writing on my kitchen counter – I had the ballot because, you know, in California, they mail you like 100 of them,” he joked. “I was just filling them out.

Murtada Elfadl From the pre-credits screen that implores audiences, “This film should be played loud bitch,” “John Early: Now More Than Ever” announces itself as a very gay show. The comedian’s most comfortable and funniest speciality is using gay vernacular mockingly. At just over an hour in length, his first HBO special is a fleeting and sharp dissection of how Early’s “generation” behaves or misbehaves, particularly online. Known for his pairing as a writer with comedian Kate Berlant and for his role in TV’s “Search Party,” Early has amassed a devoted following without achieving mainstream stardom … yet, at least. He should have broken out as an actor. His small but memorable part as the best friend of the lead character in the 2016 movie “Other People” hinted at a casual and comfortable presence on screen. The role ought to have led to more parts toeing the line between comedy and drama. Now, in a project more reflective of his stand-up persona, Early shows a confrontational and restlessly physical presence. Whether singing covers of artists such as Britney Spears or telling jokes, making faces, pointing and dancing, the comic holds our attention.
