Yesterday was SO STRESSFUL you guys, so let’s just spend today laughing at what an asshole Meghan McCain is.

Yesterday was really hard. Because I mentioned it in the headline, I will include an Instagram post I wrote about, and then I won’t bore you anymore about it. Promise.

SO! As I was writing this post, I had The View on in the background, and they were talking about the whole whistleblower-Ukraine-Joe Biden’s son-election interference-Trump story — IMPEACH ALREADY, ASSHOLES — and Meghan McCain, looking for some way ANYWAY to attack “liberals” and “the left,” started screaming about Julian Assange and how the “left” justify what he did by releasing Hillary Clinton’s emails (which is news to this liberal leftist) and then this happened, making my ENTIRE DAY:

Everything about this: Ana Navarro telling McCain not to scream at her, McCain’s huffy, “THAT’S SO RUDE, ANA. WELCOME BACK” to Navarro after she was the rude one, the stomping off the set, the SHOCKED FACES OF THE AUDIENCE MEMBERS. Just: ~chef’s kiss~. This, friends, is why — and this is a true fact — I record The View every damn day.

You can watch the Walton Goggins comedy, The Unicorn early, if you’d like.

The Emmys are terrified of a teleprompter going out because dumb actors can’t be trusted to just wing it, I guess.

A judge has ruled that Michael Jackson’s estate’s $100 million lawsuit against HBO can go forward.

The Friends marked the 25th anniversary of the show on Instagram (a couple of days early — the anniversary isn’t until the 22nd). I’d show you all of their posts, but it’s basically this over and over again.

Fran Drescher thinks Cardi B should be the next Nanny in a The Nanny reboot and you know what? FOR IT. LET’S DO THIS.

Headline: ‘The Office’ Reboot Eyed for NBCU Streamer, But Can Steve Carell Be Convinced to Return? Let me go ahead and answer that for you: No.

Kal Penn says that his new immigration comedy isn’t political. OK, SURE, FORMER WHITE HOUSE EMPLOYEE.

Michael Schur promises one last big curveball in the final season of The Good Place: “Something significant happens that changes everything,” he says. “You will believe one thing is happening at the beginning of the premiere, and by the end you’ll see it’s something else.”

Oh sweet Jesus, no one needed a “Sexy Mr. Rogers” costume, guys.

There is something crazy going on with the Carter family, as in boy band Carters, Nick and Aaron. I think Aaron has gone full crazy and the other Carters are terrified? Anyway, if this is of any interest to you …

Kenya Moore and her husband of two years have split up. I guess this makes filming Real Housewives of Atlanta easier for everyone since he refused to be on the show.
