Emma Thompson Tries to Be a ‘White Savior’ in New ‘Late Night’ Trailer (Video)
Emma Thompson’s character in “Late Night” is “a little old and a little white,” according to her young, person-of-color writer played by Mindy Kaling. And Kaling has an idea of what she can do about that.
In the comedy, Emma Thompson plays a long-running talk show host named Katherine Newberry who has gotten stale and behind the times, so in the latest trailer for the film, Kaling’s character helps her introduce a new segment: “White Savior.”
