Fan Casting Benny Styles in The Man with the Golden Dream

a “no filter” late night comic whose abrasive personality got him a job hosting the Oscars in the hope that he might stir up enough controversy to spike up the ratings. He spent the weeks leading up to the ceremony posting incredibly mean spirited “reviews” of the nominated films on social media, taking pleasure at mocking the actors’ transparent bids for their statuettes. Styles’ opening monologue earned no laughs, devolved to audience interviews, and was cut short by Gene Holland. Afterwards, Sammy was sent to look for him backstage but found the comic lying dead on the floor of his dressing room.
