The headline weve waited four years for.
Each author writes their own headline and for Jason Lee, a.k.a.
We write long-ass headlines, he laughed on the phone with Vulture.
I look at it like Im writing bars.
I mean, weve called Donald Trump everything orange.
Pumpkin-spiced and dorito-dinged and habanero Hitler.
We called him safety-cone orange, we called him burnt sienna.
We ran down all the list of orange things.
And heres what he came up with for Saturday morning:
Hot Damn Joe, Here We Vote Again!
What went into the headline creation?
Theres only eight of us on the editorial staff.
I approach a lot of these headlines like Im rapping.
Everything else I just let it happen however it happens.
And I was like, I really dont know.
Like, I just let the moment happen.
And whatever I feel whenever the news breaks is kind of how I go for it.
I like doing headlines where people will react to it and be like, I really sang this headline.
I dont think weve used candy corn yet.
Maybe Im wrong about that.
But to me, it was an obvious one, plus candy corn is nasty as hell.
Dont nobody want no damn candy corn.
I obviously took the candy corn-colored and made them allKs.
So, people can take what they want from that part.
Dragged out of the White House by his flimsy faux follicles.
Its a Donald Trump hair joke.
I felt the opportunity to squeeze in some more alliteration, which everybody is always a fan of.
Everyone is judging Donald Trump.
Then, Donald Trumps presidency is raggedy as hell.
So, that one just goes without saying.
Thats what you kind of want to get, that freeing feeling.
So I wanted people to read it, and feel like they got their emotion out.
But like I said, this is a judgment election.
We are going to wholeheartedly rebuke this.And, you know, America didnt really do that.
The thing with Bossip is that we write a lot.
And in my mind, I was like, okay, thatll be the end of it.
But people reacted to it so tough that I said, Okay, I want to follow it up.
If you do something stupid or theres something crazy going on, were going to address it head-on.
This isnt a CNN or MSNBC or the WashingtonPostwhere you have to play it journalistic, straightforward.
No, were gonna have attitude about it.
Did you think at all about a headline for if Trump got reelected?
How would you have gone about it?I didnt think ahead of time.
So, I will probably go to the exit poll to see where that number is now.
Whatever that number is, I would reassign him a new number.
So, he would have gotten that but most of my pointed criticism would have been at America.
At this point, we all know Donald Trump is a piece of shit.
I can talk about that all day.
What makes a headline a Bossip headline to you?A Bossip headline needs to be over the top.
Thats the first thing.
It needs to be accurate as far as whatever details are enclosed.
There needs to be some alliteration in there.
There needs to be a good call back or pop culture reference.
And it was: Make Antibodies Great Again?
I dont know if its his fault or not.
But were gonna blame it on him because why not?
Thats kind of how I attempt to operate.
The people have been harassing her aboutthis album thats not come outfor years.
And like, I get it now, Robyn Fenty.
I understand your plight.
We can relate to one another.
We should talk about our plight together sometime.
Ive been at Bossip almost ten years now.
So, its cool to see people be excited about it.
R. Kelly just got arrested, what you gotta say?
Bill Cosby is going to jail?
What you gotta say?
Donald Trump has COVID, where are you at?
Its like, Whoa, bro, it just happened.
Give me a second to figure out what the hell is going on.
I like the energy though.
