Much like the Great American State Fair, Trump’s birthday cage fight is proving remarkably effective at repelling celebrities.

    A cage fight to celebrate the man that never got into a fight in his life.

    On his podcast, Job Favreau (the former Obama speechwriter) revealed that he was mistakenly invited to the event because they thought he was Jon Favreau the actor. They didn’t realize their mistake until he submitted his ID for a background check. Lol

      I somehow thought they were the same guy until now, like how kal penn worked for Obama.

      Edit: I looked him up and realized that the person I was picturing the whole time was actually Jon cryer, so I’m clearly not too well informed

        I think it would be funny if the speechwriter had gotten to go though

    This title is hilarious. It makes it sound like we have like several dozen Cracker Barrels worth of The Rock. Which I don’t think we do, but I haven’t kept up with Hollywood.

      Well, I think Adam Sandler could be droves all by himself.

        We’re now imagining like a swarm of Adam Sandlers going into the ring to do a life or death match and the last one alive gets to be declared as the official Adam Sandler

    Don’t worry. All the “D-list” celebrities are still going.

      And if they weren’t D-List, they’re fast tracked to get on that list.

        Don’t forget Jon Voight, James Woods, Kelsey Grammer, Kevin Sorbo, Roseanne Barr, Michael Rapaport, Scott Baio, and Randy’s brother Dennis. Nicki Minaj and Kanye can do the halftime show.

        If they can find Randy Quaid then at least we’ll know he’s still alive.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
