Summary of conversation [Spoiler (click to open)] She’s a Whoopi superfan. Shows photo, JJ spooned Whoopi’s star, and kissed it. Joy offers to switch seats so JJ can sit by Whoopi. Talks about The Good Place and cancel culture. She decided straight white men speak their mind all the time, so she adopted their privilege. Talks more about her platform. Explains how cancel culture makes sense for people like Weinstein but it’s not good for people who make a mistake and learn from that and we want people to change so we need to encourage that dialogue and be forgiving.
Sunny brings up her I Weigh mental health movement. JJ explains more about that and compares to how men are measured vs women. TSwift is a huge supporter of JJ. Says they only met once (shows photo) but her rep is different from her in person. Talks about the double standards TSwift faces. Her show is ending. Spoiler alert in the clip. JJ says too much of anything can be exhausting. Talks about the allegory to anything in real life. Some talk about orgasms lol.
Talks about In Living Color and it being 30 years and hopefully there will be a re-boot and all of them have gone on to have their careers and how they looked at SNL and wanted to do something of their own /endrunonsentence. In his book Living In Color he mentions the competitiveness. Name drops Jamie Foxx. They play ILC clip of Jamie doing a whack massage on Tommy. [I forgot how funny that show was 😃]. Says everyone had their own thing and you don’t always get along every day with the people you work with but it was ok because in the end, TD knew that was gonna play funny and it did, likens it to Lucy with the chocolate factory conveyor belt. Sings a riff from Frozen. Whoopi misunderstands what he says, they go off on a weird tangent.
Sunny references his childhood and background. Pulled from a pile of garbage as a baby and raised by a white family. 😲 TD tells that story. Talks about the family evolution and him and his family getting bullied. His brother is a gay white male. Grandfather on one side is a cowboy from Wyoming. Grandfather on the other side is a Choctaw Indian. Found his bio family. He was able to forgive her, she was able to tell him the story. And he’s good, living in color.
1-there wasn’t a quid pro quo 2-ok there was a quid pro quo but it was for the country’s best interest 3-ok there was a quid pro quo and he did it for his election because that’s how Donald rolls so suck it
Dershowitz remains stupid and exhausting. Now he’s saying that extorting [anyone] for the purpose of your political campaign is not impeachable. To which Nixon arose from his grave and said Waaaatttt? What in the f’ck is this guy on. Sunny lawyersplains how dumb Dershowitz has been. Gives a murder analogy, vigilantism, you’re still guilty of a crime. It’s law school 101. Meghan is ridiculous, and diverts to a clip of Mayor Pete /plays clip/ who is exhausted with impeachment and wants to watch cartoons. Whoopi points out the difference between a random on a talk show panel bored with impeachment vs someone running for Potus. Sunny confirms the rest of his remarks that didn't air in the clip, that puts it in a different context.
Joy is exhausted waiting for (at least) 4 Senators to do the right thing and vote for witnesses. Joy is trying to make a point which even includes John McCain but Meghan keeps interrupting her because OF COURSE. Whoopi gives her speech again about Joe and Hunter, do whatever you want with them, but you can’t combine it with T45 extorting Ukraine to get dirt on political opponents. Sunny points out again the difference between voting for witnesses, vs voting to acquit or remove.
Plays clip. He can think of at least 8 women, and at least 4-5 poc, who are all capable of being Potus. Lists reasons he would pick someone, including that he’s old. Joy doesn’t like that Biden calls out his age, because he’s only 4 yrs older than Bone Spurs and is in much better shape. Whoopi thinks his relationship with age and death is much different. He knows age doesn’t have anything to do with death. He lost his wife and children when they were young. He lost his other son who was still young. Story is that he’s reached out to Klobuchar and Yang, and they’re like - not ready to throw in their own towel yet [re/Iowa caucus process]. Joy says people’s identity with age has shifted, used to be you never had children over 40 but now that’s gone. Panel doesn’t like ageism. Joy and Sunny took the NYT quiz. Joy doesn’t believe in free education for everyone (eg rich people who can afford to pay). Joy did it and got Steyer. Did it again and got Biden. Sunny did it and got Bloomberg.
ACLU is claiming the Univ. of Missouri is being Big Brother by requiring students to install a location tracking app to make sure they show up to class. Sunny is like, nuh uh. Joy said when she was in college, she spent her time yakking in the cafeteria, honing her skills for The View. Whoopi gets serious, can the school sell the information, did they ask the students if they want to participate, can they monitor who is participating in protests. Sunny said it started with the athletes, where it was in place for 4 years and monitored if they were in adherence with their scholarships. Whoopi says STOP THE MADNESS. Joy says she’s still in the cafeteria all the time, and when she was a teacher, she was killing it in the teacher’s room.
