Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
A couple of big updates in the Fox News/Dominion Voting Systems trial:
- Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, Fox Corporation board member Paul Ryan and Fox Corp. executive Viet Dinh can be compelled to testify. And they have to show up in person, no Zoom testifying for them. LOL, YES, MORE PLEASE.
- The Judge also ruled, interestingly, that January 6th can not be invoked in the trial. According to him, the defamation in question happened before the events of that day.
“I don’t see Jan. 6 as relevant in this case,” Davis said. “I know that shocks everyone. But the development of this case is focused on a very specific time … What parties were thinking in January is not relevant at all to what happened in November and December.”
Donald Glover is teasing us with the possibility of a Lando series. Yes, please. And make it R-rated, you cowards.
“We’re talking about it,” Glover revealed to GQ of reprising the iconic character, originated by Billy Dee Williams in 1980’s Empire Strikes Back. “That’s as much as I can say without [Lucasfilm president] Kathleen Kennedy hunting me down.
“Lando is charm incarnate,” the actor-writer-musician added. “He’s kind of a maverick, which I don’t think there’s a lot of anymore. It’s hard to be the smooth talker nowadays. Where’s the line? That’s also where the danger is. How close can you get without tripping over it?”
A thing I just learned: the lead character in the new Hulu series Tiny Beautiful Things is based on Cheryl Strayed, who Reese Witherspoon played in the movie Wild.
The star of Sex/Life, Sarah Shahi, is out here talking shit about season two of the series. In Amanda Hirsch’s Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Shahi says that she “struggled with the material,” “couldn’t get behind” a lot of the plot, and was disappointed to not work with her real-life boyfriend Adam Demos. She joked that she’d never be able to work with Netflix again, but considering that she signed up to star in the ABC pilot Judgement, I’m thinking she already closed that door.
Alex Borstein has never watched The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which is kinda hilarious. GOOD FOR HER.
Live! is planning “surprises” for Ryan Seacrest’s final week, which begins Monday.
A VERY NECESSARY UPDATE ON THE COUPLES FROM THE ULTIMATUM. Now when do we get season two?
Jamie Lannister couldn’t get past the opening credits of House of the Dragon because “this seems too familiar.” Girl, yes. They really should have used the Targaryen theme for the music.
It’s been several weeks now since the second half of You premiered on Netflix, so I assume that if you do watch, you have by now, yes? This Collider article asks how there can be a season five of You (which we know will be its last). And I have one answer for that: her. Go get him, girl. Make him pay.
Ted Lasso paid tribute to the real sports reporter, Grant Wahl, who helped inspired Trent Crimm in this week’s episode. Wahl, you might remember, passed away unexpectedly during the World Cup this winter.
Very often when The Daily Show‘s Jordan Klepper goes to Former President Chode Toad’s events, he talks to lunatics who spout rambling conspiracy theories in a language that can only be described as “English-adjacent.” It’s easy to make fun of them as their insanity is right there on the surface. To the credit of the supporters in this video (and to Klepper and his editors who clearly avoided the easiest targets), these Former President Porn-Star-Payer fans actually sound somewhat compos mentius. They’re still wrong and dumb and are relying on their feelings about their cult leader rather than actual facts, but I don’t feel like any of them should necessarily be locked up for their own safety.
Klepper also tangled with George Santos, in a far less calm exchange:
CBS will continue airing the Daytime Emmys for at least the next couple of years.
BREAKING: Well-known asshole is an asshole.
Speaking of that well-known asshole (NOT ADELE):
Owner of the most watched and most iconic “Carpool Karaoke” of all-time, @Adele will be its final guest.
