John Oliver Turns Eric Adams Into Hollywood Laughingstock at Charity Event
A host of Hollywood’s best and brightest couldn’t contain their laughter at New York Mayor Eric Adams’ expense Thursday night at the Albie Awards, a charitable event held in the city by George and Amal Clooney’s Foundation for Justice.
Spotted by the Daily Beast in attendance were Meryl Streep, Bryan Lourd, Andy Cohen, Cate Blanchett, Jimmy Fallon, Dwyane Wade, John Krazinski, and Emily Blunt, among a number of other A-list stars from across the entertainment industry, as well as Jon Stewart and Michelle Obama, who both took the stage at various points.
Comedian John Oliver hosted the festivities and used the latest news of Adams’ federal indictment as fodder for the audience, saying at one point: “It’s all I’ve been thinking about all day.”
