According to a top source, Jeff Garlin is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the comedian's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not Garlin for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 62-year-old comedian, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Garlin so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the comedian have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Chicago Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Chicago (Jeff Garlin's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the comedian was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Jeff Garlin Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 3 Nov 2024
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveJeff”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 3 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Jeff Garlin?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 3 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Jeff Garlin?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
