Fear the Walking Dead star Colman Domingo hilariously took down Elon Musk over his planned AI version of The Odyssey during his opening monologue as the guest host of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is officially the biggest movie of the year and is drawing incredible reviews from audiences and critics around the world. Unfortunately, the film's success has been a thorn in the side of Elon Musk, who can't seem to stop complaining about the film because of the diversity of the cast.
Recently, Musk revealed that he plans to make an AI version of The Odyssey by the end of the year.
"Before this year ends, Grok Imagine will make a full-length movie of The Odyssey that is historically accurate and true to the art of Homer," Musk tweeted.
Well, Domingo had the perfect response to Musk's AI version of The Odyssey:
"And by historically accurate, he means whiter than Christmas at Cracker Barrel. Of course, this is all because Elon and his Musketeers are upset over the diversity casting of The Odyssey. And I don’t want to get technical here, but you can’t make a historically accurate version of something that is totally made the f*** up."
That's a 10/10, no notes joke right there. The delivery, the timing, everything; it's flawless. You can watch the full monologue.
This should be the period at the end of this conversation about the casting choices in The Odyssey.
Domingo, who played Victor Strand in Fear the Walking Dead, has been doing a great job on Jimmy Kimmel Live! while taking a break between acting gigs. He's been there all week filling in for Kimmel. It's been a great run for Domingo after the last year or so. Well, really, it's been a lot longer than that, but he was just nominated for two Emmys for his work on The Four Seasons season 2 and Euphoria season 3.
I will say that it's great to see a Walking Dead universe star standing up for a movie that also stars some fellow Walking Dead universe legends. Jon Bernthal and Samantha Morton are two of the biggest stars of The Odyssey, and each of them starred in The Walking Dead. Bernthal is well known for playing Shane Walsh in the first two seasons of the series. Morton starred much later in the series as Alpha in season 9 and season 10.
Walking Dead stars Ryan Hurst, who played Beta, and Corey Hawkins, who played Heath, also appear in The Odyssey, as well.
Morton is getting a ton of praise for playing Circe in the film. Nolan even revealed that the full crew gave her a round of applause after one of her takes. He claimed that was the first time it happened on one of his sets since Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.
Right now, you can watch Domingo in Fear the Walking Dead on Netflix. The series was reportedly leaving Netflix on Aug. 19, but it doesn't look like that's actually going to happen.
