Here is Jimmy Fallon ruining Thanksgiving at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade yesterday. I am very sad to report that there will be no more Thanksgivings.
There is not a whole lot of television news out there today as everyone in the country is lying on some relative’s floor, digesting leftovers, so here is a convenient guide I made detailing when your favorite shows will return from their winter hiatus. Unfortunately, it’s a little incomplete, as CBS is being stingy with information, but it will have to do for now.
Harassment Grossness
Uma Thurman came for Harvey Weinstein this Thanksgiving.
Another Entourage extra has accused Jeremy Piven of being grabby with her.
Jeffrey Tambor has been accused by a third woman. He claims it was an “enthusiastic farewell,” which, oh my God, Tambor, stop it.
Two more women have come forward to say that Al Franken was handsy with them.
The inevitable Law & Order: SVU episode is coming. It’s only surprising that it hasn’t been made already.
Seth MacFarlane knew all along.
