You’re going to be waiting a while for the next season of ‘Squid Game’

Hey, Gen Xers: this one is for y’all. SOUND ON:

CBS says they intend to “experiment” with The Late Late Show spot after Corden leaves. They say they don’t want to just replace him with another host, but really rethink the entire format. Stay tuned.

Y’all really liked Loki! Season two will begin production in the coming weeks.

Jensen Ackles wasn’t on the shortlist to play Soldier Boy on The Boys (but he got the role anyway).

Yesterday was the primary day in Pennsylvania, and we still don’t know if Dr. Oz is going to be the Republican candidate or not. Apparently, they are checking the mail-in ballots and are probably going to have to do a recount. Huh. Funny how that works.

Oh, and hilariously, Madison Cawthorn lost his primary. MSNBC’s Joy-Ann Reid has an offer for him:

A report by Media Matters says that Fox News aired at least one lie every day in the first four months of this year. And not in the primetime talking head hours — in the daytime, supposedly “news” hours. Fun story: I am writing this from my parents’ house where Fox News is on in the next room. 1. I feel like I’m losing my mind. 2. Surely that number by Media Matters is low.

Are the Savannah Bananas the future of baseball? I sure hope so. Read the linked article and tell me you don’t want to immediately go to a game.

Love is dead.

I dunno, maybe we should mask back up for a minute?

And though the New York Times numbers up there don’t reflect it, according to the White House, we have reached one million dead of COVID here in the United States.

Stephen Colbert returned to The Late Show after having a recurrence of COVID — just as Jimmy Kimmel was sidelined again.

Interestingly, Dr. Hotez, who tested positive last week, too, had a similar experience:

Hollywood studios are being hit pretty hard, just days after they lifted their mask mandates for crews. Huh.

Pearl Jam’s drummer Matt Cameron got COVID, and so they invited local drummers to play backup at their Oakland concerts.

Eric Clapton also tested positive and had to cancel shows. It should be noted that he was a vocal critic of COVID protocols and vaccines. OH WELL, I GUESS.
