Haley Joel Osment is trending because his name was in Kendrick Lamar's mouth while the rapper had Joel Ostend on his mind. Did I get that right?
Perhaps @mluckovichajc would appreciate this.
Wilkie Mahoney was brought on to gag up Buddy G. DeSylva's 1940 Cole Porter Broadway musical "Panama Hattie" and then co-wrote (with Jack McGowan) the screenplay for the 1942 film starring Red Skelton, Ann Sothern, Rags Ragland and Virginia O’Brien.

"Delmar (sic) Daves and Wilkie C. Mahoney have joined the writing department at Paramount," Box Office mag reported, center col. between a robbery report and a popcorn ad, on Apr. 8, 1939. Theater owner lost his car, watch and cash. DelmEr Daves went on to make great Westerns.
"New Twitter" is trending. Is that our new term for "Bluesky?"
Backstage at MGM during production of 1943's "Du Barry Was a Lady." L to R: Director Roy Del Ruth, a makeup man, Red Skelton and Wilkie Mahoney.
During filming of the 1942 Jack Benny-Ann Sheridan film “George Washington Slept Here,” syndicated columnist Paul Harrison explained Wilkie Mahoney's transition from radio to motion pictures. At the time, Wilkie was employed at MGM but was on loan to Paramount.
That is Estelle Taylor (middle) in this photo taken at the L.A. Ambassador Hotel. She married Jack Dempsey and played historical women in The Ten Commandments (1923), Haddon Hall (1924) and Don Juan (1926). Dining with her are Ben Bernie's secretary and Wilkie Mahoney (right).
Wilkie took his gags from magazines to radio in 1932 when he began writing Ben Bernie's scripts. Bernie at the time was publicly trading insults with Walter Winchell in a faux feud to boost each others' ratings. The barbs Wilkie hurled at Winchell made him a fan.
Walter Winchell wrote in a 1938 syndicated "On Broadway" column: "I like this: Wilkie Mahoney, the gag writer, quit Jolson to work for Bob Hope. He gave Jolson one of those 'To Whom It May Concern' letters recommending Jolson to anyone who wanted a good boss ... cute, huh?"
Milton Berle was a notorious joke thief. "When Milton Berle was getting on the train for Hollywood, someone asked: 'Is Berle going to take a compartment?' ... And Wilkie Mahoney groaned: He will—if he can put it in his valise!'" - Walter Winchell
@TheAcademy Wilkie Mahoney wrote Bob Hope's patter at the 12th annual Academy Awards. It was the first of 19 times Hope would host the ceremony and all kind of history was made. Syndicated columnist Paul Harrison reported later that Wilkie pocketed his agent's percent .
Wilkie Mahoney as the pie clerk in the 1927 Laurel and Hardy film, "The Battle of the Century." It was a brief, but perfectly timed appearance.

Still from Cecil B. DeMille's first version of The Ten Commandments (1923). If you enjoy the Charlton Heston version you should check it out! Just know it's very different experience since most of it involves a "modern" story.

Ronna McDaniel did more than shill for the president. She played an important role in Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. That should be a clear red line for employers in the truth-telling business. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
