Kevin Hart, John Goodman, and Amber Ruffin are just a few of the celebrities who weren’t good enough for Lorne Michaels.
Joe Exotic was looking to be released from prison. Instead, a federal judge resentenced him to 21 years, one year short of his original sentence of 22 years.
Literally no one has any idea what is going on with Tom Brady, and I, for one, think it’s hilarious.
Having seen 9 of 11 of these shows (and having loved all of them?), I highly recommend this list of series to watch if you enjoyed Archive 81 — or even if you haven’t watched Archive 81, but enjoy a good twisty horror/sci-fi/thriller series. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go binge Ares and try to find Behind the Walls …
Erika Girardi has been dismissed from one of the lawsuits against her ex-husband and his law firm that was filed in Chicago. However, the lawsuit is going to be refiled in California, so it’s still too early for her to be celebrating.
And Just Like That introduced “Zed,” a nightclub owner that had a little flirtation with new character Seema. Except: the actor who played Zed is French actor William Abadie who appeared in a season six episode of Sex and the City as Tony the Prada Guy. Apparently, they thought fans wouldn’t notice? But, in fact, they noticed. And they’re not happy.
#AndJustLikeThat Wait Carrie lived at Prada in the 90s/00s, how does she not recognize Tony from Prada is also Zed the Brooklyn club guy? This is just weird/ lazy re-casting in addition to this whole show being an awful mess pic.twitter.com/OpaKqCGRM1

#AndJustLikeThat Are we supposed to forget that William Abadie played Tony from Prada? Now he’s Zed?! I know Tony was a small role, but how could we forget the handsome guy with the Prada staff discount?
And that episode is SO memorable thanks to Berger‘s fragile male ego trip. pic.twitter.com/5PEPyPiCqg— Olivia-Anne Cleary (@OliviaACleary) January 27, 2022

DID WILLIAM ABADIE APPEAR IN A 2ND SEX AND THE CITY, AND CARRIE DIDN'T KNOW WHO HE WAS?!?
TONY, THE PRADA GUY, WAS A MAJOR CHARACTER!
ISN'T HE ALLOWED TO GROW UP FROM AN AMAZING PRADA SALESMAN AND BECOME A RICH CLUB OWNER WHO CARRIE KNOWS!?!FUMING. pic.twitter.com/o3IHSqtSGK

Rewatching #AJLT ep 9 just so I can pick holes in it. Why doesn't Carrie use her spyhole? How massive was Big's ring finger? Is this episode called 'Lily's Tampon'? What's with Miranda's weird door knocking? Why is Che a dick? What is LTW wearing? Is that… Tony from Prada?

And Just Like That, William Abadie is now a new character named Zed?? WTF #AndJustLikeThat ?? You know we are watching this show with scalpel eyes and can point out the Prada guy Tony. Why didn’t he just play Tony again?? WHO THE FUCK IS WRITING THIS SHOW?!

Sex and City famously tried this casting ploy with Justin Theroux. But then he got famous and … oopsie.
Awesome — thank you for this!

So, a week or so ago I had nothing to do and I was so enamored with your recap of the Bachelor episode with the dual villains that I figured I had to see it for myself. I’m in the upstairs spare room that I use as an office, with my (non-work) laptop, watching it on ABC.com, using a headset for the audio.
My younger daughter wanders in, sees what’s on the screen, and says in an excessively loud voice “wait a minute, are you watching The Bachelor???” Naturally, my wife and older daughter hear this, and come in to see for themselves. Hilarity ensues.
This afternoon I get a text from elder daughter. It’s a screenshot of the Chronicle homepage, highlighting their story about how some Texans players will be on tonight’s episode. One of her friends showed it to her, because daughter had told her and others about how I’m now a Bachelor fan, and the friend wanted to make sure I knew this was happening. (Younger daughter has also apparently told her friends as well.) Daughter #1 told me over dinner that she had been having a laugh about this to another friend, who told her to leave me alone and let me have my show.
I figured no one would enjoy this story more than you, so there you go. Both girls have told me that I picked a good season to watch. Now I guess I have to finish, so they don’t think I’m some kind of dilettante.
THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE HEARD ALL DAY. THANK YOU, KUFF!

Also, ABC should pay me. I should be receiving residuals for convincing people like you to watch this trash for yourselves.

They totally should. I doubt I would have been inspired to watch by anyone else.
