![]() Jane Mayer was playing establishment Republicans Evan Osnos was Joe Biden, Jelani Cobb was establishment Democrats, Masha Gessen played Donald Trump, Andrew Marantz was the far right, Sue Halpern was left wing democrats, Dexter Filkins was the military, and Jeffrey Toobin playing the courts. (For reference, WNYC Studios produces The New Yorker Radio Hour.) The participants described the call as an almost Model U.N.–style simulation of our political landscape, played out by “many of The New Yorker’s biggest stars,” including Toobin. Two people who allegedly participated in the call spoke to the website on condition of anonymity and claimed Toobin was masturbating during a break in a bit of radio theater.

Initially, Toobin’s industry filled the ZDI information void with all kinds of possibilities. But in the absence of official confirmation, rumors - chiefly, that Toobin had touched himself during a work call - began to swirl. Save for a CNN appearance on Saturday, things on the Toobin front seemed quiet. According to Motherboard, his Condé Nast email has been disabled and his Twitter has been dark since October 13. The New Yorker said it had suspended Toobin pending investigation. I thought I had muted the Zoom video call.” I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. In response to the original Motherboard report, Toobin maintained he only got his penis out on accident. Hours later, Motherboard updated its reporting with input from two people who were on the call, who said Toobin had been masturbating. According to Motherboard, Toobin exposed himself to various New Yorker colleagues and WNYC employees during a video call last week. “This was during an election simulation which is the most – I’m sorry, I’m sorry – the most unsexy thing I ever heard of.” The giggles turned to guffaws when Haines referenced an old internet meme that seemed to fly past the cohosts: “I very much miss the days when Jennifer went to the bathroom and forgot to turn off her camera.”Īs Hostin looked on without so much as a grin, Haines said, “I’m so sorry, I know there’s a lot of seriousness to this topic but I can’t fathom the situation where this was the Option A and Option B,” adding, “This is why I’m grateful to Joy for waiting till 12:01 to take her bra off.” That last crack at least got a laugh from cohost Joy Behar.Um, well, I do not know how to break this news delicately to you, or if a gentle approach would even appeal to your news-hardened brain, so here it is: The New Yorker has suspended staff writer Jeffrey Toobin after an unfortunate and mysterious Zoom Dick Incident (henceforth the ZDI). When Goldberg asked for her take on the situation, Haines giggled, apologized, and then continued doing both. While three-fourths of the panel seemed to show facial expressions of concern, Haines looked like she’d just done a noisy thing in church. “Is this addictive behavior?…Is this an addiction related to these unprecedented times? I think that merits some investigation, because this is extremely odd, unusual behavior.” “Why would someone show this lack of impulse control,” Hostin wondered. The Toobin incident has drawn the expected jokes around the internet, but a more serious approach to the matter was initiated by View moderator Whoopi Goldberg and cohost, lawyer and former Toobin colleague Sunny Hostin. Toobin says he didn’t know his staff call camera was still on. Toobin, of course, is the New Yorker writer and CNN legal analyst who was suspended from the magazine and took a leave of absence from the network yesterday after he was caught on a New Yorker staff Zoom call (discussing the election) participating in, reportedly, some socially distanced virtual sex on a separate video-call. UPDATE, with video Not since Chuckles the Clown’s funeral has a giggling fit seemed harder to contain: Sara Haines couldn’t get through today’s The View discussion about Jeffrey Toobin’s recent Zoom blunder without a real tears-down-the-cheeks guffaw, even as her cohosts looked on with mostly straight faces.
