And nowwwww, it’s springtime for Trump and the GOP. (Oooh, it’s springtime!) Winter for all of America.
In a glorious comeback that made us wish “The Producers” was still on Broadway, Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane revived their roles of conniving producers Max Bialystok and Leo Bloom for Jimmy Kimmel’s annual post-Oscars show. Except this time, what the duo want to tank is an election helmed by Donald Trump instead of a show.
Helped by Cloris Leachman who supplies the “checkie,” Bloom and Bialystok are floored when Trump’s candidacy takes off.
Mel Brooks would be proud. Watch the hilarious video here:
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
