Who the Hell Is Tony Hinchcliffe?

With roughly a week to go before the 2024 presidential election, there is one thing binding Democrats and Republicans alike: disbelief toward stand-up comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who bombed onstage Sunday at a rally for Donald Trump’s campaign after calling Puerto Rico “a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean.” Savannah Walsh introduces the uninitiated to the proudly offensive comic, who last made waves by using an anti-Asian slur to describe a fellow comedian onstage in 2021. When confronted about that incident, Hinchcliffe doubled down: “I knew that what I had done was not wrong. It wasn’t even the worst thing I did that week.” Elsewhere in HWD, Chris Murphy chats with Jordan Klepperabout his latest Trump-rally-focused Daily Show special, premiering tonight; Timothée Chalamet rocks a Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest in New York; Walsh has a long conversation with Cristin Milioti about the perks of being “underrated”; and Nate Freeman goes deep with modern-day renaissance man Steve McQueen.

The Full Package

Blitz director Steve McQueen routinely traverses the path between visual art and feature films, navigating a historically treacherous route with envy-inducing ease. His World War II epic is another virtuoso work in a career full of them.
