I don’t know who needs to hear this, but no one wants to see your panties on morning TV.

Hi! It’s Tuesday!

Here is a platonic example of a “Wait for it …” video:

 

reporter gma no pants

Some of y’all have never worked from home and it shows. LISTEN TO ME, I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS NOW: You don’t have to put on real pants, but you have to put on SOMETHING. Sweats, leggings, or even shorts! But just running around in a suit jacket and panties aren’t going to cut it, even in these trying times. Have some goddamned self-respect.

One Day at a Time is going to do an animated episode that will air later this spring, and THAT’S the kind of creative thinking that will stick it to this goddamned virus.

NOW’S NOT THE TIME, HULU.

Tyler Perry is going to be producing new content yesterday. It helps that he writes everything himself, manages to shoot 22 episodes of television in TWO AND A HALF WEEKS (that is not a joke, that is a TRUE FACT), and he has his own vast studio on a former military base in Georgia where he can house everyone. This is an INSANE article, but get ready, because Tyler Perry Presents Medea’s Royal Family Reunion is going to soon be the only new TV series out there.

The Daily Show is expanding to 45-minute episodes, because, honestly, why not?

RuPaulā€™s DragCon will stream live on the World of Wonder YouTube channel this weekend.

 

Fox News is dumping Diamond and Silk after spreading a bunch of batshit insane conspiracy theories about COVID-19, including that death tolls were being exaggerated and that the virus was created by the Deep State to take down President Shitwagon.

Oh, hey, look at that, President Illiterate was warned about the seriousness of COVID-19 more than a dozen times in January and February and he did fuckall.

The repeated warnings were conveyed in issues of the Presidentā€™s Daily Brief, a sensitive report that is produced before dawn each day and designed to call the presidentā€™s attention to the most significant global developments and security threats.

For weeks, the PDB ā€” as the report is known ā€” traced the virusā€™s spread around the globe, made clear that China was suppressing information about the contagionā€™s transmissibility and lethal toll, and raised the prospect of dire political and economic consequences.

But the alarms appear to have failed to register with the president, who routinely skips reading the PDB and has at times shown little patience for even the oral summary he takes two or three times per week, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss classified material.

 

OH? HAS THERE BEEN “SO MUCH UNNECESSARY DEATH?” MAYBE IF SOMEONE HAD TOLD THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD THAT THIS WAS A SERIOUS VIRUS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY KILL THOUSANDS OR TENS OF THOUSANDS OR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS BACK IN, OH, I DON’T KNOW, JANUARY OR FEBRUARY …

Because we are about to surpass the American death toll of the Vietnam War. I’m not even kidding:

 

Not that he’ll ever take responsibility. He refuses to even acknowledge that his unhinged comments about injecting disinfectants lead to a spike in cases of his idiot supporters drinking poison:

 

And finally, I neglected to mention this yesterday because I was distracted by the whole Noble nonsense, but this motherfucker is forcing all of the West Point cadets graduating this year to leave their assignments, return to New York State — the epicenter of our outbreak, get tested and then be quarantined for two weeks just so that they can be used as campaign props. I WANT YOU TO JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND IMAGINE WHAT FOX NEWS WOULD HAVE DONE IF PRESIDENT OBAMA PULLED THIS STUNT.

JUST. IMAGINE.

 

Speaking of Fox News, Sean Hannity is threatening to sue The New York Times if they do not “retract, correct and apologize” for an article that was critical of his coronavirus coverage, to which The New York Times said, “nah.”

Meanwhile, over on Tucker Carlson Tonight, that particular shit bird is busy lying about the virus, saying that there is — and was — no need to quarantine, the virus just wasn’t as deadly as we were told. And you know what? The critics are sorta right: COVID-19 has killed as many people as a bad flu year. We are up to 58,000 people today. Of course, that is in TWO MONTHS — NOT ONE YEAR and under strict stay-at-home and social distancing orders. So maybe NOT THE SAME THING AT ALL.

 

By the way, we are predicted to be up around 75,000 deaths by early June. And that’s without taking into consideration what will happen after all of the dumbass states like my own lifting their stay-at-home orders.

Trolls World Tour has earned nearly $100 million on VOD, which is not a great sign for movie theaters’ futures. I mean, sure, this is an unusual moment in history, but then again, Universal just announced they will be opening movies in both theaters and on VOD from here on out essentially demoting theaters. So, yeah, Governor Abbott, go ahead and open those movie theaters back up, you dumb jackass.

Speaking of, the Pete Davidson movie, King of Staten Island (which he really is now) will be released on VOD on June 19.

The Karlovy Vary Film Festival has been canceled for the first time in 55 years.

The Oscars have a lot to think about.

The President of the Tokyo Olympics says that if they can’t hold the event in 2021, it will just be flat out canceled, not pushed back to 2022.

Some people can’t take the stress.

 

Brooke Baldwin is back and anchoring CNN Newsroom.

Dr. Fauci was flattered by Brad Pitt’s portrayal of him as he should be.

 

Good News:

Oprah Winfrey will be the commencement speaker for #Graduation 2020: Facebook and Instagram Celebrate the Class of 2020, a streaming event on both services to be held on May 15.

Ryan Murphy is going to give residents of the MPTF nursing home a sneak preview of Hollywood, and Netflix is donating an additional $100,000 to the $1 million they have already given to the organization.

More TV stars from your childhood (FINE, MY CHILDHOOD) are reuniting to raise money for relief efforts.

2 Chainz has come to his senses, and instead of opening his restaurants for dine-in service, he will be using his kitchens to cook for the homeless.

HBO Max will be available to stream on Apple devices and HBO Now customers who are billed through Apple will automatically be upgraded at no additional cost.

As you know by now, there will be a special Parks and Recreation on Thursday. Here’s a helpful reminder of where the series left all the characters when it ended in 2015.

Here’s Fred Armisen doing a bunch of North American accents. He does Texas around the 3:10 mark and I feel personally attacked.
