Halloween is my favorite holiday. These monsters just ruined it:

After 10 years, I’m finally returning the favor. How was my @TedLasso, @JasonSudeikis? pic.twitter.com/LpYd2koEsh

Thanks, I hate it. And I’m not the only one.
Why does Mitt look like a porn parody of Ted Lasso? https://t.co/ADVD1WFcUj

Oh, and Jason Sudeikis didn’t respond to Romney’s desperate cry for attention, but he did like this tweet:
The scariest thing he could think of was kindness. https://t.co/sEjfO3B7Hy

Here is a gallery of how morning TV did Halloween this year, in case you were wondering.
It appears that @FoxNews is giving @TuckerCarlson a platform to spread the same type of lies that provoked violence on January 6. As @FoxNews knows, the election wasn’t stolen and January 6 was not a “false flag” operation. @rupertmurdoch @jayawallace @Suzannescott @SpeakerRyan https://t.co/ODKZFVUFBa

Our CEO @JGreenblattADL wrote to @FOXNews to express deep alarm about the dangerous misinformation in the form of the upcoming Tucker Carlson "documentary."

Actually, I wonder if the Sandy Hook families could sue Alex Jones for spreading lies about that event, can the officers who died and were injured in this event sue Fox News? Something to think about, maybe?
The Rust armorer is claiming that the shooting is not her fault, and she has no idea where the live ammunition that was found on the set came from. It is literally her one job.
No one told you life would pay you over $1 million for a former sitcom star’s memoir. (BUT WHY?)
Lori Loughlin is paying two college students’ fees before returning to TV following the college admissions scandal she was embroiled in. She did it “privately” which is how we all know about it now.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hill‘s Dorit Kemsley was the victim of a home invasion and burglary in an incident that sounds genuinely terrifying.
Halloween Kills is the biggest non-live event premiere on Peacock so far.
Squid Game racked up 3 billion minutes viewed in one week, an accomplishment that only “You, Tiger King (twice), Ozark (three times!), The Umbrella Academy, and The Crown” has achieved.
Tim Apple Cook is super proud of Ted Lasso.
I love these pairings of scary documentaries with horror films — something for you deep horror fans busy this weekend.
Lol, PETA wants MLB to call the “bullpen” the “arm barn.” OK. Definitely gonna happen.
Congratulations to the Grand Ole Opry, which will celebrate its 5,000th Saturday night broadcast this weekend — not its 5,000th show, its 5,000th Saturday night show.
