CELEBRITY ROUNDTABLE: CANCELLED EDITION
PRESENTER
Welcome to the actors roundtable
spin off: celebrity roundtable,
it’s not just actors anymore, I
guess. Today is a special episode
IV
where we have five celebrities who
have been cancelled. Our first
guest is Bill Cosby.
PRESENTER (CONT'D)
Chris Brown.
PRESENTER (CONT'D)
And a very special guest, Michael
Jackson.
KE
Cut to a full shot of the table.
PRESENTER (CONT'D)
Now let’s begin. Let’s go around
the table and discuss why you guys
were cancelled. Bill Cosby, would
you like to start?
R
BILL COSBY
You see, I couldn’t have done those
extremely sexy things that they are
accusing me of doing because I am
going blind or some reason my
lawyers gave me.

PRESENTER
OL
You would do it?
BILL COSBY
No, I said I wouldn’t do it.
PRESENTER
No, I’m pretty sure you just said
that you would do it, Bill.
IV
BILL COSBY
No. You’re putting words into my
mouth, now. Be careful before I put
something in your mouth.
PRESENTER
ER
What did you just say to me?
BILL COSBY
You’re making things up to
incriminate me!
PRESENTER
(to off-screen)
Let’s run that back. Can we get a
replay of what Bill Cosby said just
CO
before please.
We hear what Bill Cosby just said about how he would do it.
BILL COSBY
Oh, hell no, that ain’t me. You’re
putting things into my mouth now
and I don’t like that. I ain’t gay.
KE
PRESENTER
Moving on, how about you Armie.
ARMIE HAMMER
These allegations against me are
ridiculous. I’m not a monster.
R
PRESENTER
But you are eating a plate of human
flesh right now.

ARMIE HAMMER
This is my lifestyle, okay? It’s my
life. I can do what I want.
KEVIN SPACEY
OL
I know it’s not my turn but I would
just like to know how human flesh
is to eat.
ARMIE HAMMER
You know, Kev, it’s really great.
It is. For events like these, I’ll
eat a male’s body. When I’m feeling
sexy, I’ll eat a female’s cause I’m
IV
not gay
(laughing)
I don’t agree with being gay.
KEVIN SPACEY
I’m gay.
ER
ARMIE HAMMER
Don’t lie to me, Kev. It’s weird
though because ever since I
starting living how I truly want to
live, I haven’t gotten any jobs.
PRESENTER
Because you eat human flesh.
CO
ARMIE HAMMER
I think it’s because they don’t
agree with my lifestyle but I
didn’t choose this! Imagine
discriminating against someone for
something they can’t control!
PRESENTER
And you don’t like gay people?
KE
ARMIE HAMMER
Stop making this about gay people
for christ sake. I am a man of
Jesus and the holy spirit.
PRESENTER
Anyways, moving on. Chris Brown,
you’re next-
CHRIS BROWN
OL
Look, I never hit nobody, okay! I
am not to be compared to this
cannibal and this rapist and this
other creep and this urn. I am not
a bad guy. I would never hit a
woman.
A woman walks into frame. Chris Brown punches her before she
runs off screen.

CHRIS BROWN (CONT'D)
GODDAMN BITCH, GET THE FUCK OUT OF
HERE.
PRESENTER
Didn’t he take you off that?
CO
CHRIS BROWN
You see! My life is tough.
PRESENTER
Anyways, Jesus Christ. Moving on,
Kevin Spacey.
KEVIN SPACEY
KE
Yes.
PRESENTER
You responded to the allegations
against you by coming out as gay.
Is that correct?
KEVIN SPACEY
You see, I couldn’t have done those
R
PRESENTER
But those awful things were done to
men?
5.
KEVIN SPACEY
I’m straight.
BILL COSBY
Why hasn’t Michael Jackson said
OL
anything?
PRESENTER
Because he’s an urn, Bill.
BILL COSBY
You see, I’m just a senile old man.
I didn’t rape nobody. I just simply
slipped them a lil drink that made
IV
it a lil easier for me to have sex
with- what am I saying!?
(laughs)
Oh, I love my life. I’m a good man,
you see.
ER
PRESENTER
It seems like none of you have
learnt anything.
CHRIS BROWN
Cancel culture is not a culture, it
is a cult!
BILL COSBY
They even got to my man, OJ
CO
Simpson.
PRESENTER
No, that wasn’t cancel culture,
that’s just anyone with a brain who
knows that he definitely murdered-
PRESENTER
I quit. I’m sorry, I can’t do this.
OJ SIMPSON
So. How has everyone been?
ARMIE HAMMER
Good, good.
6.
OJ SIMPSON
Damn, you eating a human?
ARMIE HAMMER
Oh right, because killing someone
OL
isn’t as gross as eating someone?
Get a grip, OJ, get a grip.
