Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Warner Bros. Discovery claims they are done canceling your favorite shows but don’t trust them. DON’T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN. At the same conference, the Warner Bros. Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels admitted that HBO Max’s “user experience” is “subpar.” OH? YOU THINK? MAYBE PART OF THE REASON IT’S SUBPAR BECAUSE YOU KEEP PULLING PEOPLE’S FAVORITE SHOWS OFF OF IT, YOU MONSTERS.
Damar Hamlin is now breathing on his own, and talking to his teammates.
The Bills-Bengals game that was canceled after Damar Hamlin suffered a heart attack will not be played. The NFL says this will not affect the playoffs, and they are considering holding the AFC Championship Game at a neutral site to ensure home advantage is fair.
Andy Cohen went on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show to try to claim there was no feud between them but I am calling shenanigans. Kelly Ripa made them do this and they actually hate each other, we all know the truth.
So happy Al Roker is better and back at The Today Show.

Prince Harry is sorry he watched one of Meghan Markle’s sex scenes on Suits.
Harry also revealed in his memoir Spare that he and William got into a physical fight about Meghan. I only mention this because Jimmy Kimmel’s version of Two Princes Fighting is my favorite thing today:

Dolly Parton made a surprise appearance on Call Me Kat to pay tribute to the late Leslie Jordan. In the show, his character Phil gets married and moves to Tahiti, giving him a sweet happy ending. Parton showed up at the end in a video tribute to Jordan, singing the song she recorded with him, and saying:
“I know usually at a memorial, people talk about somebody. Well, I’m going to talk to you. Because there is that place on the other side, and I’m certainly going to see you there, little brother. You left a lot of people here with a lot of precious, precious memories. Everybody loved you, but I doubt many of them loved you more than I did.
“I just want you to know that we all love you, we all miss you, and I bet you’re having a big laugh over all of us being sad and sorrowful. And I know that would be the last thing you would want us to be. You made us happy while you were here, and we’re happy that you’re at peace. I just want you to know that I will always love you. Goodbye, my sweet Leslie.”
You can watch the tribute here. It’s just as lovely as Dolly is.
