Tim riffs on how celebrities like Timothy Chalamet look increasingly strange and unrelatable, citing Andrew Schulz's theory about publicists and social media isolation making them seem alien.

In this bit6 moments
  • Tim on modern celebrities looking progressively weirder and less human—Timothy Chalamet as a floating feather cast in amber.
  • These celebrities have stopped being on planet Earth; they speak in odd patterns and communicate like aliens discussing what humans should do.
  • Growing up people cared about the Academy Awards and Emmys, but something shifted and they became creepy and strange instead.
  • Andrew Schulz's point: celebrities without social media and living in castles, controlled entirely by publicists, now seem completely unrelateable.
  • Late-night talk show interviews are completely staged—hosts ask celebrities about being in Italy together as if that's genuine banter.
  • News cycle juxtaposition: major stories like mass shootings and bribes lead into Jimmy Fallon asking someone about their Italy vacation.
