I actually think the most interesting thing about what's going to happen here is that this speech is going to be a real test case for what is comedy in the US in 2022, it used to serve as: Let's find some humanity here, let's find the lighthearted. In 2022, things are so partisan and so tribal, is there anything beyond the most pointed partisan humor?

I’ve covered a lot of war zones and this one feels to me, and it could be in part because we’re in the middle of this war right now, this one feels different in the way that there is still room for this humanity to shine through, but it is so widespread and so serious for the entire population of Ukraine that it’s limited in how much people are lighthearted because they are literally experiencing a nightmare. It’s unfolding all around them. It’s the sirens. When there are air raids, it’s the explosions in the distance. It’s watching their children or trying to shield their children from seeing bodies in the streets. It’s these really heavy, heavy things.

Sure, it's New Year's Eve and some lighthearted revelry is in order, but the Cohen outburst just didn't belong on the once-proud cable channel.And once Cohen's rant took off, nobody in the production center apparently had enough sense to cut his microphone or switch to another shot, when you let the hosts get out of control, the channel should expect some out of control content.

I would say to take things more lightly, see life in a bigger context than just that a total vision of success or being good enough, there is no way to be good enough when you’re that age. You want some kind of perfection, and you’ll never get there. If it were the show, my advice would be to enjoy the people on the set. Don’t worry about whether you’re being accepted or not, whether your TV Q [score] is high or not high. Just be more lighthearted about life in general.

I know a lot of people must think that The Lovely Bones (2009) is a pretty dramatic film and it's going to be really deep and dark and everything, but I promise you it's not. It's really humorous and funny and bright and happy. Then this awful thing happens and it kind of makes everyone really sad, obviously, but they have to get on with things. It's like the journey that Susie takes to learn to let go and realize that she can't be with her family anymore, and the same for her family. They have to let go and they know that they can't be with Susie. But it's a really funny, lighthearted thing. There's some really dramatic scenes in it as well, which is great with The Lovely Bones (2009) because you kind of get the best of both worlds. You get to do funny scenes and dramatic scenes. You get to cry, you get to laugh, so it's great .
