Actor Colman Domingo used his guest-hosting stint on Jimmy Kimmel Live to mock Elon Musk's plans for an AI-generated "historically accurate" version of The Odyssey. During Wednesday night's monologue, Domingo suggested Musk's push for the project was really a reaction to the diversity casting in an existing adaptation of the ancient Greek epic, framing his criticism as satire rather than straight news commentary.

Domingo joked that Musk's idea of "historically accurate" really meant a whiter cast, and pointed out the apparent contradiction in demanding historical accuracy for a work of fiction, comparing The Odyssey to other invented stories such as The Hunger Games. The segment followed reports from the previous day that Musk intended to use AI to produce his own version of the Homeric tale, a plan Domingo, an Oscar-nominated actor, used as fodder for topical comedy rather than serious rebuttal.
