Brace yourselves: ‘A Million Little Things’ is planning on killing off multiple characters on the way out the door.

Doing magic tricks for otters seems like a job I could handle:

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Sounds like filming on Squid Game: The Challenge is getting a little too real.

Prepare yourself for a lot of death in the upcoming final season of A Million Little Things.

DirecTV has dropped Newsmax and right-wing loonies are calling it “an assault on free speech.” Unless DirecTV became the government when I wasn’t paying attention, this is incorrect.

A News Corp/Fox merger has been scrapped after the Murdochs decided that such a combination would not be optimal for shareholders. This feels like a subplot of Succession that I would pretend to understand but really I was just enjoying all the insults and family melodrama.

Rian Johnson would really like to drop the Knives Out Mystery tag, and replace it with A Benoit Blanc Mystery. Do it.

Young and the Restless actress Tracey Bregman lost her 1985 Emmy in the 2018 Malibu wildfires, so the Emmys gave her a replacement Emmy to honor her 40th year on the soap opera. Today’s episode is devoted to her, as today is the 40th anniversary of her debut on the show. 

Fox News is SO MAD that Mike Pence has ruined their “Joe Biden is a criminal for having confidential documents at his home” narrative. They’re “joking” but the mask slips in this clip and reveals the profound cynicism that fuels Fox News.

Julian Sands remains missing. Sadly, his brother believes he is dead.

Congratulations to Paris Hilton and her husband.

I just want to give the social media team over at The Boys a giant hug.

Extraordinary: In a world where everyone develops a superpower when they turn 18, a powerless 25-year-old Jen is feeling left behind. Series premiere. Hulu

The Firm: I’m including this so that I can tell this ridiculous story: Back in the era of Blockbuster, my parents rented this movie and then complained later that it was terrible. Turns out, my father, who hates Tom Cruise, FAST-FORWARDED THROUGH EVERY SCENE TOM CRUISE WAS IN. Now, I’m not saying it’s a great movie, but if you can stop yourself from fast-forwarding every scene Tom Cruise is in, you’ll have a good time. 4:55 p.m., HBO2 West
