Colman Domingo is guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live this week and he made Elon Musk’s planned AI-generated “historically accurate” version of The Odyssey a major focus of his monologue on Wednesday night’s episode.
“By historically accurate, he means whiter than Christmas at Cracker Barrel,” cracked the Oscar-nominated actor. “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 fuck up.”
After all, Domingo continued, “The Odyssey is fiction, like The Hunger Games or the president’s cognitive exams.”
