I watched that clip on Kimmel. I don't normally watch but I like Bill Burr. Kimmel got really uncomfortable after he said Free Luigi. Not just like the network telling him, but in a way that seemed like Kimmel doesn't understand why people like Luigi.

Kimmel is really quiet leftist, so he gets it. But he's also beholden to network executives who only understand money and the things that make them money. And advertisers don't like Luigi or the idea that CEOs are disposable.
Kimmel gets it...his advertising people won't be happy about it though.
It's against the rules of lemmy.world to call for violence against insurance companies, and the people who work for them, so I won't. But I don't think it's against the rules to imply I would if that wasn't in the rules.
It's not against the rules to imply that the rules should be different.
Unfortunately it's the jurisdiction that they operate under that enforce some of those rules.
Because of the implication?
This is slightly off-topic, but I really hope someone films this new Broadway version of Glengarry Glen Ross, because Bill Burr and Bob Odenkirk doing Mamet? Holy fuck do I want to see that.
Yeah, I listen to the Smartless podcast and they've brought it up a few times lately, including when KK was on there recently. I have very little interest in theater, but the cast alone makes me want to check it out. The cast alone will also be why I can't afford to go probably.
I really don't know Kieran Culkin well enough to know how he would be, but those other two make me want to see it almost as badly as I want to see the production of Waiting for Godot put on by Robin Williams and Steve Martin, which I doubt was ever filmed since it would have come out long ago.
Wait, WHAT?! Seems I have some furious Googling to do
Technically, that was why he was on Kimmel in the first place. To promote it. But it's Bill Burr and he gives zero fucks, so he talked politics instead (although he did also bring up the play).
