“Meanwhile, we could have yet another ‘Odyssey’ movie on the way. Now, Elon Musk is planning to create what he calls a ‘historically accurate’ version of ‘The Odyssey’ using his Grok A.I. And by ‘historically accurate,’ he means whiter than Christmas at Cracker Barrel.” — COLMAN DOMINGO, guest host of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
“Of course, this is all because Elon and his musketeers are upset over the diversity casting of ‘The Odyssey.’ And I don’t want to get technical here, but you can’t make a historically accurate version of something that is totally made the [expletive] up.” — COLMAN DOMINGO
“I mean, ‘The Odyssey’ is fiction, you know, like ‘The Hunger Games,’ or the president’s cognitive exams.” — COLMAN DOMINGO
“I mean, come on. Doesn’t Elon Musk have better things to do? Wasn’t this [expletive] supposed to be on Mars by now?” — COLMAN DOMINGO
“But maybe we should show a little compassion for Elon. This is a tough time for him. Helen of Troy is a beautiful Black woman, and this week, Jimmy Kimmel is a beautiful Black man.” — COLMAN DOMINGO, referring to himself as guest host
The actor Elliot Page spoke about working with Christopher Nolan again for “The Odyssey” on Wednesday’s “Daily Show.”
