Meghan and Harry are about to spill some royal tea and I can’t wait.

It’s Friday, y’all.

All Other TV News

I don’t care about the royal family. I think the whole institution is outdated and stupid and I don’t understand why the British people insist on keeping them around but that’s their business, I guess. All that said, I just set the DVR to record Oprah’s interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry because I do love gossip and messiness.

Exhibit A in which Meghan Markle makes being a royal sound like being a prisoner.

I totally see why people in the United Kingdom are COMPLETELY LOSING THEIR MINDS over this interview.

And now Markle’s former Suits co-star is coming out and defending her, calling the way the royal family is treating her is “obscene.” Strong words, Patrick Adams!

Oh? Is Fox News going to be the “opposition” to President Biden? How is this news, exactly?

WandaVision keeps on crashing Disney+ because y’all just can’t wait to watch.

PLEASE DO NOT PUT TVS INTO CARS.

Netflix’s new true-crime documentary, Murder Among the Mormons, was the inspiration for a Law & Order: Criminal Intent episode 16 years ago, and one Stephen Colbert starred in it. Another fun fact about Murder Among the Mormons (which will definitely be my true-crime-binge-while-folding-laundry this weekend): it was directed by the same person who directed Napoleon Dynamite.

Be forewarned: this Price is Right clip will physically hurt you.

Michael Che made a joke about Israel not vaccinating its Palestinian residents on Saturday Night Live two weeks ago, and people are still really mad about it (even though there might be some truth to it).

Going Viral

We are still holding pretty steady at about 65,000 new cases of COVID-19 a day and at the still way-too-high rate of about 2,000 deaths a day. But we are now averaging 2 million vaccine doses a day, which is fantastic news. Unfortunately, there are still wide racial disparities in who is receiving the vaccine which we need to fix.

The Senate is closer to passing a $1.9 trillion COVID relief package. LET’S GO.

Governor Gavin Newsom is outlining new requirements to loosening restrictions in California, tied to vaccination rates which is, you know, GOOD.

THIS ISN’T HARD TO UNDERSTAND, GOVERNOR GREG. Friends, I understand that restaurants are having a particularly hard time of it right now, but even though restrictions are about to be thrown out the window, please carefully consider eating somewhere that does not require masks and has returned to 100% capacity.

Jimmy Kimmel Live: Coronaversary Show will air on March 11 on ABC, commemorating Tom and Rita Day.

Paramount is moving up the premiere date for A Quiet Place Part II, from September to May, suggesting that they are optimistic we will be emerging from this pandemic by then.

The Bachelor/Bachelorette is not the only production that has taken over a hotel for filming.

Universal Studios Hollywood is inching towards reopening.

Terrible human being finds new way to be terrible.

Erica Faye Watson, a Chicago comedian and radio personality, has died from COVID-19 complications.
