Topic: Cory Monteith

A controversy has emerged regarding the Emmy Awards' "In Memoriam" segment, where Glee actor Cory Monteith is receiving an extended tribute following his heroin overdose. Critics, including the family of veteran actor Jack Klugman, argue that legendary performers are being sidelined in favor of younger stars. The hosts suggest the focus on Monteith serves as a form of drug propaganda.

The death of Glee star Cory Monteith in a Vancouver hotel is linked by the hosts to the promotion of the movie "Pacific Rim." They note that Monteith's body was found on the 21st floor of a hotel and that many news reports repeatedly mentioned the film's title, suggesting a "Hollywood Whacker" marketing tactic.
