00:00 Ellen DeGeneres faced significant backlash after making a joke on her show, comparing

00:05 self-quarantining in her multimillion-dollar mansion during the COVID-19 pandemic to being

00:10 in jail.

00:11 One thing that I've learned from being in quarantine is that people, uh, this is like

00:16 being in jail is what it is.

00:18 It's mostly because I've been wearing the same clothes for 10 days and everyone in here

00:22 is gay.

00:24 Critics labeled the comment as tone deaf, highlighting the stark contrast between her

00:28 comfortable quarantine conditions and the harsh realities of prison life, especially

00:32 amidst rising COVID-19 cases in prisons.

00:37 Samantha Bee faced criticism for using a derogatory term to describe Ivanka Trump during a segment

00:42 of her show, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.

00:44 Do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless c**t.

00:49 He listens to you.

00:52 Bee apologized for the remark, which was widely condemned for its vulgarity and personal attack.

00:57 This time I used it as an insult.

00:59 I crossed the line.

01:00 I regret it and I do apologize for that.

01:03 Tracy Morgan faced backlash for making homophobic remarks during a stand-up comedy show, which

01:09 were deemed offensive and hurtful.

01:11 Being gay is stupid.

01:12 If you want to see a penis, take off your pants.

01:15 If I got turned into a gay, I'd sit around all day and look at my own junk.

01:20 Morgan later apologized and met with LGBTQ+ groups to discuss the impact of his words.

01:25 From the bottom of my heart, I apologize to everybody who I offended with my words on

01:32 stage.

01:34 James Corden's Spill Your Gut segment on the Late Late Show has been criticized for

01:38 cultural insensitivity.

01:40 The segment features a choice between answering personal questions or eating foods labeled

01:44 as disgusting, which often include dishes from various cultures.

01:48 Oh, it's also yummy, yummy, yummy.

01:52 Critics argue that this perpetuates stereotypes and anti-Asian racism by mocking foods that

01:57 are part of people's heritage.

01:59 In response to the backlash and a petition, Corden stated the segment would avoid using

02:04 such foods in the future.

02:05 I don't mind people with meats out, but I'm literally like holding back throwing up a

02:12 little bit.

02:13 Amy Schumer's joke about Ryan Dunn during the Comedy Central roast of Charlie Sheen

02:17 sparked controversy for its perceived insensitivity.

02:20 Steve-O is here, Steve-O, great try.

02:23 Sorry for the loss of your friend Ryan Dunn.

02:25 I know you must have been thinking it could have been me, and I know we were all thinking,

02:28 "Why wasn't it?"

02:33 Schumer joked about the tragic death of Dunn in a car crash, leading to mixed reactions

02:37 from the audience and online commentators.

02:40 Some found the joke to be in poor taste, considering it too soon after Dunn's passing, while others

02:45 argued that controversial humor is typical of roast.

02:48 Oh, Mike, stay away from me.

02:53 Stephen Colbert faced criticism for a joke he made about President Trump, which many

02:57 considered to be homophobic.

02:59 You talk like a sign language gorilla who got hit in the head.

03:02 In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin's b******t holster.

03:07 Despite the backlash, he did not offer a full apology, but emphasized that anyone expressing

03:12 love in their own way is an American hero.

03:14 You can take that any way you want.

03:17 We got a great show for you tonight.

03:20 Daniel Tosh, a comedian and host of Tosh.0, faced significant criticism for making a rape

03:25 joke during a stand-up comedy set, which was directed at a female audience member.

03:30 Beat it, s**t.

03:31 Go get raped in your own corner.

03:33 The incident sparked a debate about the appropriateness of rape jokes and led to Tosh issuing an apology.

03:39 I play practical jokes on her constantly, though.

03:41 I replaced her pepper spray with silly string.

03:44 Anyway, that night she got raped.

03:47 Shane Gillis faced backlash and was fired from Saturday Night Live before his debut

03:52 due to a podcast episode where he made racist remarks about Chinatown using a slur and imitating

03:58 a Chinese accent.

03:59 Chinatown's f**king nuts.

04:00 It's crazy, dude.

04:01 It is full f**king China, dude.

04:02 It's f**king Chinese down there.

04:03 Yeah.

04:04 How the f**king chinks live there, huh?

04:07 This incident led to significant controversy, especially since he was hired at the same

04:12 time as Boon Yong, SNL's first Asian-American cast member.

04:16 All that stuff comes out.

04:18 And I was convinced I was getting fired.

04:19 Like, I knew I was getting fired.

04:22 Jimmy Kimmel faced significant backlash for wearing blackface in past comedic sketches

04:27 where he impersonated black athletes.

04:28 Carmelo never seen no flying saucer himself, but if he do, that's gonna be a spooky time.

04:35 His actions were criticized for perpetuating racial stereotypes and insensitivity, leading

04:40 to public apologies from Kimmel.

04:42 Listen up, E.T.

04:43 You better stay the hell back.

04:44 Nah, no, nah, no.

04:47 Until next time.

04:49 Kelly Osbourne's attempt to criticize Donald Trump's remarks about Mexican immigrants on

04:53 The View led to her own controversy.

04:56 If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet,

05:00 Donald Trump?

05:01 Oh, that's...

05:02 In the sense that, you know what I mean?

05:03 Like, what I'm saying that...

05:04 There's more jobs to be had.

05:05 In LA, they always...

05:06 But Latinos are not only the only people doing that.

05:07 No, I didn't mean it like that.

05:11 Come on.

05:12 Kimmel's comment drew significant backlash on social media for its insensitivity, despite

05:17 Osbourne's immediate backtrack and clarification that she didn't mean it derogatorily.

05:22 She later expressed responsibility for her choice of words but refused to apologize for

05:27 being labeled a racist.

05:28 If I saw that clip just for the ten seconds, I'd hate me too.

05:32 But I got cut off, I didn't get to finish what I was going to say, which turned the

05:35 first half of it into a joke.

05:37 But even if I told you what I was going to say, people wouldn't believe me anyway.

05:41 Kim Kardashian received backlash for her business advice to women, with critics highlighting

05:46 her privileged background and questioning the relevance of her advice to ordinary people.

05:50 I have the best advice for women in business.

05:53 Get your f***ing ass up and work.

05:55 It seems like nobody wants to work these days.

05:58 The controversy underscored the disconnect some perceived between Kardashian's experiences

06:03 and those of the general working public.

06:05 It wasn't a blanket statement towards women or to feel like I don't respect the work or

06:12 think that they don't work hard.

06:14 I know that they do.

06:17 Stephen Colbert faced criticism for a comment he made on his show, implying he wouldn't

06:21 mind paying $15 for gas because he drives a Tesla.

06:25 Today the average gas price in America hit an all-time record high of over $4 per gallon.

06:31 I'm willing to pay $4 a gallon.

06:32 Hell, I'll pay $15 a gallon because I drive a Tesla.

06:42 out of touch with the average person's financial realities.

06:51 the COVID-19 pandemic.

06:53 It's a virus.

06:54 I get it.

06:55 Like, I respect it.

06:56 But at the same time, like, even if everybody gets it, like, yeah, people are going to die.

07:05 She appeared to downplay the severity of the situation by suggesting that people dying

07:09 from the virus was inevitable, which many viewed as insensitive given the global crisis

07:14 at scale and the loss of lives.

07:16 I realized today that some of my comments are being taken out of context.

07:21 It's a crazy time.

07:22 It's a crazy, crazy time.

07:24 I don't take the situation lightly.

07:26 By any means, I am home.

07:34 her talk show, which many viewed as offensive and insensitive.

07:47 The comments were criticized on social media for being exclusionary and dismissive of gender

07:52 expression.

07:55 I apologize.

07:56 I did not mean to offend my LGBTQ plus community.

08:09 depicted holding a severed head resembling President Donald Trump.

08:14 Drop it.

08:21 spectrum for its graphic and violent nature, leading to Griffin losing work, including

08:25 her role as a co-host on CNN New Year's Eve broadcast.

08:29 This is fake blood, just so you know.

08:32 I won't give away what we're doing, but Tyler and I are not afraid to do images that make

08:36 noise.

08:38 Seth MacFarlane faced backlash for his "We Saw Your Boobs" song performed at the Oscars,
