Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Ryan Condal promises that House of the Dragon is going to give you exactly what you want next season: MOAR DRAGON. FIVE MOAR DRAGON.

For those of you who have read the books, this is a good guess as to which dragons will be introduced next season:

And George R. R. Martin, who was at the same event as Condal INSTEAD OF IN NEW MEXICO FINISHING THE GODDAMNED BOOKS, explained that his contribution to House of the Dragon is merely an outline, he didn’t flesh it out the way he had with Game of Thrones. YEAH. WE KNEW THAT ALREADY. YOU DIDN’T NEED TO GO TO LOS ANGELES TO TELL US THAT.

OK, let’s talk about the shitshow happening over at Fox News:

As mentioned a couple of weeks ago, Kevin McCarthy handed over 44,000 hours of January 6th footage to Tucker Carlson to enable Carlson to create an alternative narrative for the insurrection. Well, on Monday, Tucker Carlson showed his selectively-edited work and it basically amounted to: “these people weren’t dangerous terrorists attempting to overthrow the government at the encouragement of our deranged former President; they were merely innocent and passive ‘tourists.’ And we have minutes of footage of people not attacking Capitol Police with bear spray to prove it!”

Shockingly, the Capitol Police have some issues with this take, and even more shockingly, Carlson’s people did not reach out to to the Capitol Police. And you know who else has a problem with Carlson’s bullshit? Senate Republicans, including Mitch McConnell, Kevin Cramer, Mitt Romney, Mike Rounds, and John Neely Kennedy. (And I’m sure you’ll be surprised to learn that Ted “Cancun” Cruz gave a mealy-mouthed non-answer about Carlson’s video.) In response to actual grown-ups in the GOP, Carlson has urged his viewers to “keep a list” of the Republicans who dispute his fantasy version of Jan. 6.

Cool.

Carlson has since doubled down on his falsehoods, and I can’t help but think he believes that if he makes enough noise about January 6, his viewers won’t learn that he actually hates Former President Insurrectionist. Those are his words, kids!

According to a new Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit document drop, Carlson shared his true feelings in text messages. Get some popcorn, because this shit is delicious:

“We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights,” Carlson wrote on Jan 4, 2021, the filings show. “I truly can’t wait.”

“I hate him passionately,” the Fox host continued. “I blew up at Peter Navarro today in frustration. I actually like Peter. But I can’t handle much more of this.”

“That’s the last four years,” Carlson added. “We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest. But come on. There isn’t really an upside to Trump.”

“He was pushing voting fraud stuff. I have no doubt there was fraud. But at this point, Trump and Lin and Powell have so discredited their own case, and the rest of us to some extent, that it’s infuriating. Absolutely enrages me,” Carlson wrote.

And Carlson wasn’t the only one at Fox News who believe they were taking the election fraud thing too far: For instance, Rupert Murdoch wrote in an email:

“Big morning with McConnell meeting with Graham and other anti-impeachers.

“Still getting mud thrown at us! Is it ‘unarguable that high profile Fox voices fed tha story that the election was stolen and that January 6th an important chance to have the result overturned’? Maybe Sean and Laura went too far. All very well for Sean to tell you he was in despair about Trump but what did he tell his viewers.”

And there is this exchange between vice president Bill Sammon and political editor Chris Stirewalt:

“More than 20 minutes into our flagship evening news broadcast and we’re still focused solely on supposed election fraud — a month after the election,” Sammon wrote. “It’s remarkable how weak ratings makes good journalists do bad things.”

“It’s a real mess,” Stirewalt responded.

INDEED. INDEED IT IS REMARKABLE, BILL.

Some shakeups over at Lucasfilm:

The Kevin Feige Star Wars film: not moving forward.

The Patty Jenkins Star Wars film, Rogue Squadron: not moving forward.

The Taika Waititi Star Wars film: still moving forward!

Damon Lindelof’s Star Wars project: still moving forward!

Lucasfilm: Being sued by producer Karyn McCarthy who was fired a few weeks into making The Acolyte.

I don’t watch Vanderpump Rules, but having blogged The Real Housewives for more than 10 years, I know more than 0 about the reality show about a bunch of too-old-for-this servers/models. My point is, I don’t care about this Tom/Ariana/Rachel cheating scandal, but BOY HOWDY, my feed does, which suggests that some of y’all out there must care, too?

Quick recap in case you care about this and yet somehow aren’t up to speed: Tom Sandoval cheated on longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix with fellow Vanderpump Rules star Raquel Leviss, and had been doing so for several months, but Ariana just discovered it by seeing an explicit video on his phone.

Here’s what has happened in the past 24 hours or so:

1. Raquel lawyered up and sent letters to several Vanderpump Rules stars about sharing the video that Ariana discovered, saying that distributing it would violate California’s revenge porn laws.

2. Raquel also sought court-ordered protection from fellow Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay. Reports are that Scheana became “violent” following the revelation of the affair.

3. Tom Sandoval’s P.R. people got a hold of him, and posted an Instagram apology:

4. After she was done serving all of her co-stars, Raquel posted her own Instagram apology:

And now you’re all caught up. For now.

Speaking of beefs that won’t quite go away: Will Smith has responded to Chris Rock’s Selective Outrage: “Will is embarrassed and hurt by what Chris said about him and his family in his Netflix special. He didn’t watch it, but he had people tell him what Chris said … It’s everywhere when you look online and on social media, so Will and Jada have seen comments about it … Will apologized to Chris and would like for Chris to let it go.”

Yesterday, I mentioned that Jenna Ortega said she rewrote some of her lines on Wednesday, which I cheered on, mostly because she seemed to understand her character more than the writers. However, this is something of a controversial take on the writers’ room side:

No, there is not going to be a show called “Who’s Having My Baby?” starring Nick Cannon. I understand that in the world that gives us MILF Manor, such a series certainly seems possible, but it’s actually likely a sketch from Celebrity Game Face on E!.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. It’s going to be a minute.

You’ll be able to purchase the Succession scripts soon. Logo-less baseball caps not included.

And if Ron DeSantis has his way, no one will ever be able to correctly answer any Jeopardy! questions about Black history or culture ever again.

A Ukranian ex-pat group has questioned the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences whether or not Top Gun: Maverick should be eligible to be nominated for Oscars following reports that the film was partially produced by a Russian oligarch as a silent investor. It’s an interesting question! But there’s NO CHANCE anything will happen — Top Gun: Maverick is the Oscar’s one chance at getting anyone to tune in to Sunday’s program.
