Earlier this month, comedian Ziwe reached out to George Santos on X (formerly known as Twitter) to ask the disgraced ex-congressman if he would be interested in a pay-per-view interview? “You’d be an iconic guest,” she said in a Dec. 2 post. Santos seemed into the idea, responding a day later with what seemed like an official confirmation, “Let’s do it Ziwe.” Consider it done. Ziwe took to Instagram on Monday to share a photo of her on a set with Santos while he holds a tan Hermes Birkin bag…

Disgraced ex-congressman George Santos may have been expelled from the House of Representatives on Dec. 1 by a vote of 311-114 — but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the story for the alleged serial grifter and sometimes drag queen from New York.

Are ring lights allowed in jail? Step aside campaign funds, George Santos has a new cash cow to fund his OnlyFans habit: Cameo.  According to Semafor, the former congressman, who was expelled from government on Friday, is already on track to dwarf his old congressional salary of $174,000 simply by making videos on Cameo.  For a mere $400 (a marked increase from the original price of $75) Cameo users can purchase a short, personalized video from the “Former congressional ‘Icon’!💅🏼.” While…

George Santos may have been expelled from Congress, but he plans to haunt the halls of the Capitol for a very long time.  Santos, the self-described “Republican ‘It Girl,’” has an established flair for the dramatic. Examples include his habit of trolling the reporters regularly gathered outside his office, acquiring random babies, hard-launching his marriage in a tweet about the death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, and delivering a Renaissance art-level serve after his arrest in May. Even before he was removed from…

Is Ziwe getting an interview with George Santos? That was a deal seemingly agreed to on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday between Santos, the disgraced congressman, and Ziwe, the comedian-writer-interviewer. It all started Saturday, when Ziwe responded to an X user who had posted photos of both Santos and Ziwe with the message, “This interview Is Ziwe getting an interview with George Santos?

The life of former New York Rep. George Santos, who was expelled from the House last week, will be dramatized and likely lambasted in a new movie in the works from HBO Films, Deadline reports. The production company optioned the rights to a new book from Mark Chiusano, The Fabulist: The Lying, Hustling, Grifting, Stealing, and Very American Legend of George Santos, that came out last week.

Saturday Night Live kicked off with Bowen Yang reprising his role as George Santos in what could be one of the last instances of the former congressman being the subject of such a high-profile lampoon given his expulsion from the House of Representatives Friday. Santos’ removal — the sixth such expulsion in the chamber’s history — came amid his indictment for nearly two dozen crimes including identity theft and wire and credit card fraud. A damning House ethics report earlier this month also alleged, among many…
