0:00It's April 28th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Entertainment and celebrity news today, your AI-powered entertainment report. Bill Marr dropped a wild claim on his club random podcast this week, chatting with David Cross about cancel culture. He said he's facing soft canceling because the Emmys won't give him a win, even though he feels he deserves it big time. Marr broke it down into levels, like soft versus hard canceling. Soft means subtle snubs, such as blacklisting him from Emmy Gold, while hard is getting totally shut out of the industry. Cross could not keep a straight face, cracking up hard and saying he hasn't watched an award show in ages because they're all just political nonsense. Anyway, Mahars got a stack resume, though, with 41 prime time Emmy nominations over the years, but only one win is executive producer on the HBO series, Vice. His latest shot came in 2024, for real time, with Bill Marr over time in the short form but it went to only murders in the Barry.

1:00Building instead leaves you wondering where the line really sits on all this canceling talk.
