If it feels like ‘Ted Lasso’ is the antithesis of Former President Very Nasty Person, your feelings are right.

I didn’t realize badgers could be cool with other animals, but here we are:

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Jason Sudekis explains that the sweetness of Ted Lasso was inspired by Former President Cruelty is the Point:

“I’m not terribly active online and it even affected me. Then you have Donald Trump coming down the escalator. I was like, ‘OK, this is silly,’ and then what he unlocked in people… I hated how people weren’t listening to one another. Things became very binary and I don’t think that’s the way the world works.”

Shonda Rhimes opened up about the difference between working for ABC and working for Netflix, and this will shock you, but Netflix gave her a lot more creative freedom and money. Who could have seen that coming?

Charlize Theron recently expressed her support for drag queens, saying, “I will f**k anybody up who’s like trying to f**k with anything with you guys,” and that asshole Megyn Kelly challenged her to a fight because, again, Megyn Kelly is an asshole.

I will not be drinking the Love is Blind wine. Even I have my limits.

Ok, The Weeknd. Calm down.

Pluto is about to introduce a free TV — free as long as you don’t mind constantly being advertised to. And having all of your data taken. And a camera will track everything you do. But hey! Free TV!

Seinfeld ended 25 years ago and I am so old.

The bar from Cheers! is up for auction and oh my God, I’m so old.

Here are all the winners of the BAFTAs and the GLAAD Media Awards.

Get better soon, Al Roker!

Jamie Foxx seems to be OK, everyone needs to stand down.

Writers’ Strike Update:

The Tonys will not be broadcast on CBS because of the strike.

The Chi; On Call; You Bet Your Life; While You Were Breeding; and Bad Sisters have halted production. And Seth MacFarlane and the showrunners of Family Guy and American Dad have exited the shows (though it’s unclear if it has had any impact on production).

Fox will make a decision on the fate of Welcome to Flatch once the strike ends.

Neil Gaiman and Dave Foley were out striking at the NBCUniversal Upfront Presentation at 30 Rock:

  1. I would pay good money to see Charlize Theron fight Megyn Kelly I think.

    Also – I hope Welcome to Flatch doesn’t get killed by the strike. It’s such a sweet goofy show. I don’t know how many people watch it but the actors seem like it is really a passion project.
