Conan O'Brien, Sean Penn discuss cancel culture calling it 'very Soviet' and 'ludicrous'
Fox News
Conan O’Brien and Sean Penn opened up about cancel culture doing a sort of informal cost-benefit-analysis on what it means for actors telling the important stories of our time.
"I’ve always described myself, I think I’m a 52% optimist," O’Brien explained. "I do believe that everything that’s happened in the last year is going to inform us in the best way and is going to have a very valuable impact on the arts and is going to make things better and more inclusive. I believe in all that." He continued: "This whole concept of cancel culture is, ‘we’ve found that someone did something in 1979 that is now not appropriate, they’re dead to us.’"More Related News
