LEAVE HIS SUSHI ALONE.
Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Trevor Noah announced that he will be leaving The Daily Show after hosting it for the past seven years.
It has not been announced when, exactly, he will leave, but presumably at the end of this season, possibly this summer.
OK, SO CAN SAMANTHA BEE COME HOME NOW?

Last night Trevor Noah announced that he will be leaving The Daily Show. I love Trevor. He has had a wonderful 7 year run. So, how to replace him? I hear a young woman named Samantha Bee is available. A woman in late night? About damn time.

After 15 years and A LOT of talk, Community is finally getting that “And a movie.” Peacock just announced that they will be making the long-teased movie, with most of the original cast returning with the exception of Donald Glover, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Chevy Chase. Though I bet Glover and Brown could be talked into making cameos. Chase, not so much.
I have to admit, after countless nothing stories about cast members being asked if a movie was in the works, I genuinely thought this day would never come.
“‘Six seasons and a movie’ started out as a cheeky line from ‘Community’s early seasons and quickly ignited a passionate fan movement for this iconic, hilarious and cool (cool, cool) NBC comedy,” said Susan Rovner, chairman of Entertainment Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “We’re incredibly grateful that 15 years later, we are able to deliver fans this promised movie and can’t wait to get to work with Dan Harmon, Andrew Guest, Joel McHale, Sony and our partners at UTV to continue this epic comedy for Peacock audiences.”
As for the “six seasons” part of that equation, they are all available on Peacock.
Your Halloween costume sorted.
Hurricane Ian is now pausing filming on season three of The Righteous Gemstones. PROTECT BABY BILLY AT ALL COSTS.
Now a Black PA is saying she was treated poorly while making Dahmer because we can’t go a single day without this series being in the news for something.
No, Jeffrey Dahmer is not in the background of Stranger Things; we just dressed like dorks in the 80s.
Mike White has an idea for a third season of White Lotus.
Reese Witherspoon wants to make a third season of Big Little Lies.
Me at these two stories:
Coolio’s Futurama character, KwanzaaBot, will be in upcoming episodes on Hulu.
Bruce Willis has become the first celebrity to sell his rights to a deepfake firm. This feels ominous.
