Jimmy Kimmel rips Time magazine’s 2025 Person of the Year choice, cover art

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel tore into Time magazine’s 2025 Person of the Year cover featuring the “Architects of AI,” referring to the eight-person lineup of tech CEOs as “the eight dorks of the apocalypse.”

Kimmel kicked off Thursday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” with a dramatic reveal of Time’s Person of the Year, slamming the outlet for not only its choice of winners, but also the cover’s overall design, which he said looked like “Photoshop from 2007.” 

The cover features Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, xAI’s Elon Musk, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, AMD’s Lisa Su, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei and Fei-Fei Li of Stanford and World Labs.

“Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg and five other off-kilter tech sisters and bros, the architects of AI, are the Person of the Year,” Kimmel revealed to his audience, which booed in response.

The late-night host quipped that he was “expecting more enthusiasm” from the crowd before continuing to blast the “Architects of AI.”

“They call them architects. And I wonder, is it customary for an architect to have no idea how a building they’ve designed works or whether or not it will one day rise up to try to kill them?” he questioned. 

A common concern among critics of artificial intelligence (AI) is that the technology will eventually take over humans’ jobs. Kimmel leaned into that idea, noting the irony of “the people who replaced people” winning this year’s Person of the Year award.

Shifting his focus to the cover art, Kimmel told the show’s producers to “put that cover back up for a second” so he could get back to roasting it.

“I want to say, ironically, with as much as you can do with AI graphically, it looks like Photoshop from 2007,” he snarked.

According to Time, the work by digital painter Jason Seiler is “an homage to the famous 1932 photograph of construction workers on a steel beam 800 feet above the RCA building in New York City.”

AI and its various applications have been taking the world by storm, with many predicting significant changes on the horizon as the technology progresses and permeates society.

“Thanks to Huang, [SoftBank’s Masayoshi] Son, Altman, and other AI titans, humanity is now flying down the highway, all gas no brakes, toward a highly automated and highly uncertain future,” Time wrote.

Last year, the outlet named President-elect Donald Trump its 2024 Person of the Year.

Family finds grandfather’s skeleton under home decades after disappearance

Michael Carroll’s son stiffened — a cold jolt running through him — when his shovel struck what looked like rags and bones in the basement on Halloween eve 2018.

Chris Carroll and his brother, Mike Carroll Jr., had been digging for months in the family house in Lake Grove, Long Island, New York. The patriarch, who started the digging, had recently suffered a stroke and needed help just to go down the stairs.

“Dad, I think I found something,” said Chris.

BOSTON STRANGLER’S UNHEARD CONFESSION TAPES CAST NEW DOUBT ON ‘AMERICA’S JACK THE RIPPER’: VICTIM’S NEPHEW

He and his sibling had no idea they’d uncovered the skeletal remains of their grandfather, George Carroll, who had disappeared half a century earlier.

The months-long excavation is the subject of a new true-crime documentary premiering Dec. 16 on Investigation Discovery (ID), “The Secrets We Bury.”

Patricia E. Gillespie, a New York-based director, came across the story of Carroll’s quest in a local newspaper. Intrigued, she began her own investigation and soon located him.

“I met Mike just a couple of days after he uncovered the mystery of his father,” Gillespie told Fox News Digital. “We really hit it off so much that, at the end of the meeting, he took me down to the basement, where there was still a giant hole. I thought to myself, ‘I’m really lucky he’s a good person.’

“For many, many years, people thought Mike and his sister Jean Kennedy were crazy,” Gillespie said. “They were just told, ‘Your dad left. Why can’t you accept this?’

“Solving the mystery itself became a jumping-off point for a thousand other little mysteries and secrets.”

George, a U.S. Army Korean War veteran, disappeared in 1963. His son, Carroll, was about 8 months old at the time. Carroll’s late mother, Dorothy Carroll, always said he went out for cigarettes and “just never came back.” Rumors claimed he met a woman in Korea and started a new life with her. The documentary noted George was never reported missing.

“He came back from this war with a bunch of kids at home,” Gillespie said of George. “They weren’t talking about what had happened in the war. You didn’t necessarily engage with a therapist in those generations. It was just a different time. It must have been tough to go from the Korean War to your tiny little house with a bunch of kids. [But] his children loved him. For those too young, they loved the idea of him.”

For decades, the Carroll children wondered what became of their father. Desperate for answers, Kennedy — a no-nonsense believer in the supernatural — consulted a psychic in 2010. She convinced her brother to join her, even though he was skeptical.

The psychic told them that George was murdered and buried in the basement. Carroll bought the property from his mother in 1993. Dorothy died of cancer in 1998.

“Jean says it’s her ‘long-distance call’ to her mom,” Gillespie said of Kennedy’s interest in mediums. “Like all of us, when you lose somebody you care about, there are all these conversations you wish you could have had or things you wish you could have worked out. And for Jean, I think the psychic was an opportunity to do that — to make that long-distance call to the great beyond.”

According to the documentary, George’s brother had also told Carroll that his side of the family believed George was killed.

Carroll, desperate for answers, began digging. He never wanted to believe George had abandoned him and his three older siblings. Even after uncovering a dark family secret, the mystery wasn’t over.

“It opened up a door to something so much deeper,” Gillespie said. “You’re looking for a man, you find him in these dramatic circumstances — the end, right? I think a lot of stories end there. But for them, it was just the beginning of figuring out how to reconcile with this. And that answer wasn’t found in forensics, a police report or a court proceeding.”

When police initially received a call from Carroll, they laughed it off, believing it was a prank. But Carroll was persistent, and they eventually stopped by the home. To their dismay, there were bones several feet below the basement. They were later confirmed to be George’s.

Police classified George’s death as a homicide. His skull had been fractured by blunt force trauma.

Carroll believed the person who may have been responsible for his father’s disappearance was his stepfather, Richard Darress. He was a young handyman George had hired to help with a construction project and who later lived in the home.

Soon after Dorothy told her children their father had abandoned them, she married Darress. They shared a son, “Richie,” before divorcing in 1983. According to the documentary, the Carroll siblings claimed their stepfather was physically abusive and had sexually assaulted the girls.

“Richie [who appeared in the film] was put in such a tough position,” Gillespie said. 

“No matter who your dad is, you love your dad. You don’t want to believe anything tough about your dad. But some of the other kids started to talk — not so much about George Carroll but about some of their own negative experiences growing up with their stepfather. I think a lot of guys in Richie’s position would just plug their ears and say, ‘No, not my dad. Not part of me. Not my name.’”

“Richie didn’t,” Gillespie continued. “Richie believed his siblings. He said to us, ‘My siblings are my real family. So, of course, I believe them.’ I think that he just showed so much strength and care. … He really prioritized his siblings’ feelings. At the same time, the siblings were also working to protect him because, as they pushed deeper into this mystery, they started to find creepier, scarier things — more disturbing stuff. But they always thought, ‘What about Richie? How is he going to feel?’”

Darress died in June 2018 at age 77, a funeral home in Laredo, Texas, previously told Fox News Digital. Before his death, he had been living in Mexico, across the border from Laredo.

For years, the siblings tried to question their mother, hoping she had clues that could lead to answers. But Dorothy would curtly remark that George wasn’t “a good guy.” While there’s speculation she may have been involved in George’s disappearance after their tumultuous marriage, her children continue to defend her.

“When that initial wave of press came out after Mike found his dad, a lot of it pointed the finger very firmly at her,” Gillespie said. “Yet the thing that stood out to me the most about their relationship with their mother is how all of them love her. All of them absolutely worship her.

“There was some really complicated stuff that went on within the family,” she said. “There were some unanswered questions that, frankly, will remain unanswered forever, because most of the people had died by the time George was found. But what struck me most was their unyielding defense of their mother. They are united by their love for her to this day.”

On Oct. 25, 2019, George was laid to rest with military honors at a national cemetery on Long Island. Police said they may never determine how he died.

“About two weeks ago, Mike’s son sent me a picture,” Gillespie said. “They finally filled in the hole in the basement. There’s a feeling that you can finally grieve, that you’ve done what you needed to do for your family — both the ones who are here and the ones who are gone. … This story goes beyond just the mystery of how this man disappeared.”

Two Georgia football players arrested, charged with shoplifting ahead CFP game

Legal troubles continue to mount for the Georgia football program after two freshmen players were arrested for allegedly shoplifting weeks before the Bulldogs’ College Football Playoff appearance. 

Star running back Bo Walker, who ran for his first three career touchdowns in Georgia’s 35-3 win over Charlotte last month, and offensive lineman Dontrell Glover were arrested in Athens, Georgia, Friday and charged with misdemeanor shoplifting, online records showed. 

The players were arrested Friday afternoon and released hours later after each posting $26 bond.

A university spokesperson told ESPN, “We were informed of the charges and are currently in the process of gathering additional information.

“This is a pending legal matter, and we will not have further comment at this time.”

Walker finished the 2025 regular season with 22 carries for 100 rushing yards and three touchdowns in six games. Glover, a Georgia native, appeared in 13 games and earned All-SEC freshman team honors. 

GEORGIA LINEMAN KICKED OFF TEAM AFTER ARREST FOLLOWING HIGH-SPEED POLICE CHASE

Walker and Glover were arrested less than a month after Georgia offensive lineman Nyier Daniels was kicked off the team after he was linked to multiple charges following his arrest related to a high-speed police chase. 

He was arrested last month and booked into the Jackson County Jail, where he was charged with three felonies, including fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer and 10 misdemeanor charges.

The other felonies against Daniels were two counts of cruelty to children because his two younger siblings were in his vehicle at the time, officials said. The misdemeanor charges included reckless driving and speeding.

He reportedly reached speeds of 100 mph in a 25 mph zone in Commerce and 150 mph when the chase continued on Interstate 85.

Walker and Glover’s status for Georgia in the playoffs was not immediately known. The Bulldogs will face the winner of a first-round game between Ole Miss and Tulane in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day.

Navy beats Army for Commander-in-Chief trophy as Trump attends amid protests

For the second year in a row, the Navy Midshipmen have won the Commander-in-Chief Trophy.

The Midshipmen earned a gutsy 17-16 victory over Army in one of the greatest rivalries in sports.

Navy got out to a scorching-hot start, as they scored a touchdown on their first drive, with Blake Horvath rushing for 45 of the 75 yards on the drive and running in for the score. He also had an 11-yard pass.

Army, though, answered right back with an identical drive, going 13 plays for 75 yards — this one ended with Cale Hellums punching one in.

Navy’s offense was stalled for a long while after, as their next three drives ended in a punt, fumble, and interception. In the meantime, the Black Knights were able to tack on three more field goals to go up, 16-7. Late in the third, the Midshipmen finally added more points on the scoreboard with a field goal that cut their deficit to three.

Early in the fourth, Navy forced an Army interception. Navy had the ball at the goal line but fumbled on a quarterback sneak, losing seven yards. Horvath hit Eli Heidenrich in the end zone, though, and the ensuing kick gave the Midshipmen their first lead since the first drive of the game. 

Navy promptly forced a three-and-out and got the ball back with less than five minutes to go. Navy lost a fumble when trying for a first down that would have iced the game, but the play was reviewed, and the call was reversed. Thus, Navy had a fourth-and-1 and kept the offense on the field. They got the first down that iced the game.

With the win, Navy earned the Commander-in-Chief trophy by also defeating Air Force earlier in the year.

The game was its usual old-school ground-and-pound style of football, as there were only 24 pass attempts compared to 86 runs.

President Donald Trump attended the game for the seventh time, and his second in as many years since being elected again. Trump participated in the coin flip, but not before protesters wielded lewd signs opposing Trump on the street leading up to the stadium. 

Protests were expected for the game in the blue city, as Trump has suggested sending the National Guard to Baltimore to help address the city’s rampant crime. Baltimore consistently ranks among U.S. cities with high crime rates, often appearing in the top 5 for violent crimes, especially homicides and robberies.

The protests against Trump also come on the same day that officials said two U.S. Army soldiers and a U.S. interpreter were killed in an ambush attack in Syria. 

Actress calls socialism a ‘gorgeous idea,’ says it means ‘taking care of each other’

Actress Amanda Seyfried called socialism a “gorgeous idea” during a podcast on Friday and said the word meant “taking care of each other.”

During a conversation on Variety’s “Award Circuit” podcast, Seyfried described what the word socialism meant to her as she and host Michael Schneider lamented the state of the country. The pair agreed they didn’t want to leave the U.S., following a discussion about her role in “The Testament of Ann Lee,” a musical about the founder of the Shakers religious movement, Ann Lee.

“We’re kicking our own out, and then, I keep thinking, thank God we’re talking about Ann Lee so much, because there’s a direct relationship to what she created and what we’re lacking,” Seyfried said during the podcast. “How about we all don’t have any kind of agendas? How about our agenda is take care of each other? Socialism is a gorgeous idea, and I know it doesn’t work perfectly.”

Schneider said people also don’t know what the word actually means.

“For me, it’s taking care of each other. If I have more money, I can spend more money on other people. Isn’t that right?” Seyfried said.

Schneider then brought up 9/11 during the discussion and said there was a sense of unity afterward where everyone had each other’s backs.

Seyfried agreed and added, “Everybody dropped everything for each other. People sacrificed their lives without a thought in the world.”

“And we shouldn’t have to have a meteor or a house-on-fire situation in order to drop everything for each other. That’s just what we are as human beings,” she added.

The actress said in another recent interview that she would not apologize for calling Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk “hateful” in an Instagram post shortly after his assassination in September.

Speaking with “Who What Wear” in an interview published on Dec. 10, the “Mean Girls” actress spoke about the backlash she faced but refused to back down from her original comments.

“I’m not f—ing apologizing for that,” Seyfried said. “I mean, for f—‘s sake, I commented on one thing. I said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes. What I said was pretty damn factual, and I’m free to have an opinion, of course. Thank God for Instagram. I was able to give some clarity, and it was about getting my voice back, because I felt like it had been stolen and recontextualized — which is what people do, of course.”

She added how she has to remember to “keep [her] head on” regarding politics.
