According to The Guardian, on October 13, 2017, he hosted a black-tie charity gala event for the AIDS research foundation amfAR, and he peppered his monologue with several jokes about Weinstein. For example, he called the evening so lovely that Weinstein "has already asked tonight up to his hotel to give him a massage." Then he cracked, "It has been weird this week
