Here’s your daily Game of Thrones spoiler, which I actually think is actually just people goofing around. But it occurred to me that these photos do show something remarkable if SPOILER FONTED, SCROLL OVER TO READ: my own theory about who the “three heads of the dragons” are — Daenerys, Jon and Tyrion — that they are all together now.
Y’all made that Will & Grace reunion video such a huge hit that NBC is now talking about doing a limited 10 episode series.
Bye Bye Birdie is going to be your live holiday musical next year (this year will be Hairspray), and, somehow, Jennifer Lopez is going to star in a role that Chita Rivera created when she was 27. I’m really not trying to age shame anyone here, but Jennifer Lopez is not 27.
In other development news:
- Kevin James sold a comedy to CBS that will star comedian Gina Brillon.
- ABC is developing The Zipcoders, a comedy produced by Viola Davis.
- FOX has bought a comedy from Diablo Cody and Simon Cowell. Wait, what?
- HBO is making a true crime documentary about one of the craziest murder cases I’ve ever heard about — it’s worth this long read, seriously.
- A TV series is being developed based on the book The French Quarter: An Informal History of the New Orleans Underworld.
In other casting news:
First of all, there is an awards ceremony for character actors. Second of all, the are unfortunately not called the “Hey! It’s That Guys!” Third, they are honoring the most “Hey! It’s That Guy” of all time this year.
The cast of The Walking Dead pay tribute to Steven Yeun, which is sweet and all, but where’s Michael Cudlitz tribute?
But don’t worry about Steven, he already has a new job:
So this happened:
All of the reactions to the deaths on The Walking Dead that are much funnier now that we all have a little distance:
This dummy believes that the ECW — that would be Extreme Championship Wrestling for those of you, like me, who had now idea what that stood for — was a precursor to The Walking Dead.
In other unlikely sources of inspiration, apparently Billions would not exist without Vine?
R.I.P. Vine, btw. I only ever created one Vine of this cop tear gassing himself:
Donald Trump is suggesting he might sue NBC for the release of the Access Hollywood tape. Do it. DO IT.
Westworld: Not renewed yet.
Bravo has renewed The Real Housewives of Dallas after spending a good long time asking themselves if they could really stomach any more poop talk. Now I have to decide if I can stomach another season of poop talk and recap it. They also renewed Shahs of Sunset and Million Dollar Listing: New York, and have picked up three boring-sounding new shows.
There is a show on Freeform called Young & Hungry? And it’s being renewed? For a fifth season? How?
And Pop has renewed their new series Nightcap for a second season ahead of its premiere.
NOVEMBER 29. I am already setting my DVR for the debut of Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.
Bones will return on FOX for its final season on January 3rd. The final season will feature a “lumberjack competition,” so get excited.
FOX has already decreased the episode order of the mid-season comedy Making History, which is never a good sign. Still! Looking on the bright side: What’s bad news for Making History could be good news for a Happy Endings reboot! MAKE IT HAPPEN. SOMEONE.
Oh my God, this Icelandic performance artist just made one of the most amazing Simpson‘s references of all time. Greatest. Joke. Ever.
Stephen Colbert and Run the Jewels have given us the raunchy Halloween novelty song that we never knew we needed:
