Seth Meyers reminds us off all the political crazy that happened in 2016 in this terrific “A Closer Look” segment — and there was A LOT of political crazy that happened. I had completely forgotten half of the political crazy that happened:
We have to talk about the foolishness that happened on TV’s New Year’s Eve celebrations:
Don Lemon broadcast from New Orleans where he was pierced, proposed to his co-anchor and danced on the tables. Messy Don Lemon gives zero fucks.
But it was Mariah Carey’s spectacularly bad performance on Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve that everyone is talking about. If you haven’t seen it, watch — and cringe — here:
Mariah Carey’s first response: “Shit happens.”
Mariah Carey’s second response: She was “set up” to fail.
Dick Clark Productions response: STFU.
But perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised by any of this considering Mariah Carey’s team reportedly didn’t know what time the ball was going to drop. On New Year’s Eve.
Speaking of ridiculous divas, Nicki Minaj has just discovered Billy Eichner and she is obsessed. This is the best thing that has ever happened to Billy Eichner.
Y’all, Leslie Jordan is going around saying that NBC has ordered 10 episodes of Will & Grace. This might actually be happening.
Homeland’s season premiere is here early, fans. The only problem with watching the first episode now is that you’ll have to wait until after January 15th to watch the rest of the episodes.
Emilia Clarke is trying to convince us that 7 episodes of Game of Thrones will be just as good as 10 episodes of Game of Thrones BUT I’M NOT BUYING IT, KHALEESI.
