Tom Arnold is saying that he has a video Christmas card of Donald Trump saying “every bad thing ever, every offensive, racist thing ever” in Apprentice outtakes. “He wasn’t going to be President of the United States. It was him sitting in that chair saying the N-word, saying the C-word, calling his son a retard, just being so mean to his own children.” THANKS, TOM. THANKS, BUDDY. THANKS FOR SHARING THAT NOW. Of course, if we’re all honest with each other, we’d have to admit that it probably wouldn’t have made a difference. If “grab ’em by the pussy” didn’t do it, I’m not sure what would have.
ABC has taken your Bachelor fantasy league and made it their own.
But if you had money on Bachelor in Paradise‘s Josh and Amanda making it to the altar, I have some sad holiday news for you.
Oh my God:
Reminder: It was The OC that coined the term “Chrismukkah.” Thank you, Seth Cohen.
Good news: Shameless is officially a go for an 8th season.
Shooter, which has been a solid hit for USA, has been renewed for a second season.
The Science Channel has ordered Street Science, a show that does a lot of cool experiments featuring fire and stuff and films them in slow motion.
According to the Cancel Bear:
- Modern Family is a lock for another season, which is not a surprise considering it is ABC’s biggest hit.
- Brooklyn Nine-Nine is probably safe, thank the syndication gods.
- Timeless is looking OK for NBC. In fact, all of their fall shows are.
- And though ratings are down on CBS, renewal chances remain strong. It’s a hard out here for a network.
So, the cast of third season of Fargo is shaping up to be crazy.
