Alan Cumming Rocks!

I have always adored the Scottish actor Alan Cumming.
Well, let's face it -- who doesn't?

Recently he guest-hosted on Jimmy Kimmel Live
and let loose on Trump and MAGA.

If you've got 13 minutes to spare, treat yourself
to his comedy and insights!


And here's another take on his equation of
trans people with superheroes!

...Alan Cumming, who?

Marty said...

Brilliant actor. Frequent host on PBS’s Masterpiece Theater, long-running part on The Good Wife, has a fabulous one-man show I was lucky enough to see.

Boud said...

Didn't he introduce some series? Memory fails me. I tried the video but the screaming audience sent me away fast.

I want to hug and thank Alan Cumming. I love him even more now. Wake up America!

😇 How come every atheist I know is waaay more Jesus-y than any god-botherer running around screaming that Jesus loves them and not me?! Oh, yah, it's that kindness thing, innit?
Betcha Alan's wee mum knows that kindness is not only free, it's a healthier choice! All that hate, cruelty and bile is making this nation unhealthy. Unfortunately, RFK, Jr.'s MAHA efforts don't cover that! 🤢🤧😵😕😷

Jeanie said...

I saw that! He was just spectacular. I like him anyway but boy -- his timing and he nailed it!

He presents the reality show 'The Traitors' here and holds each and everyone of the participants in the palm of his hand. He wears the most incredible creations which change everyday - he is definitely the star of the show.

I have always had a crush of sorts on Alan, and I could listen to him talk non-stop!

Kirk said...

Very funny and smart and caring guy. He deserves his own late night talk show (though I suppose CBS is out of the question.)

Tundra Bunny said...

Alan Cumming's monologue is HIGH-larious and wonderfully scathing! I've only seen him in Masterpiece Theatre period dramas, which I've enjoyed, but I wish they would air his show, The Traitors, in Canada too.

I already watched that video of Alan Cummings, I have no odea how I came across it, one of those down the rabbit hole things I think. Brilliant, he said it right. I've always been a fan, he was in that show with Miriam Margolys scooting around Scotland in a camper, brilliant chap. funny too.

DB Stewart said...

Yes to more kindness in the world.
Scots will tell it like it is; they don't give a shite.

Bill said...

Not familar with him but more kindness is welcomed.

Mary Kirkland said...

Yes, I love him. I first saw him on The Good Wife.

DVArtist said...

First time for me. I love him. Right on with everything. Thanks for sharing this.

Let’s all just slide into non-binary, humanist kindness towards each other (and dress to slay)!

I must admit that I am not fond of Alan Cumming but what he said in this clip was mostly spot on. I am glad that my surname is not "Cumming".
