Fox News is filling its Tucker-shaped hole with another racist doofus

I’m about to celebrate a big birthday, and if it were as hot as Satan’s taint in Houston right now, I would insist on doing this very thing:

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Jesse Waters is moving into Tucker Carlson’s spot over on Fox News. Yay. Fox’s primetime schedule is receiving an overhaul on July 17: The Ingraham Angle moves from 9/10 p.m. to 6/7 p.m.; Jesse Watters Primetime moves from 6/7 p.m. to 7/8 p.m.; Hannity remains at 8/9 p.m.; Gutfelt! moves from 10/11 p.m. to 9/10 p.m.; and Fox News @ Night moves from 11/12 a.m., to 10/11 p.m. And it’s a reminder to all those fascist talking heads over at Fox: you are replaceable.

It sure sounds like season 6 of The Conners will be the final one. This is the second time someone associated with the show has made these noises.

Ross Kemp, a documentary filmmaker from the U.K., has revealed that he, too, considered making a show where he’d travel to the Titanic in the OceanGate sub, but then deemed the project unsafe.

Meghan “My Father” McCain saying that Hunter Biden is the “ultimate product of nepotism” is as hypocritical as Lance Armstrong talking about fairness in sports. Both of y’all need to sit. down.

The guy The Bear is based on hasn’t seen the show.

Bhagavan “Doc” Antle, that weirdo (maybe) cult leader in Tiger King, has been convicted on four felony counts related to the purchase and sale of endangered animals. GOOD.

Will & Grace originally had five leads — Cress Williams originally played one of Will’s law partners, but James Burrows thought it was one person too many. And I’m not over here pointing out that Williams is Black but …

I don’t know if any of y’all have watched or are watching The Other Two over on Max, but you should be. As this review suggests, it’s the spiritual successor to 30 Rock in how it skewers the entertainment business, and it might be the most laugh-out-loud comedy currently airing.

Congratulations to Jon Hamm and Anna Osceola and their Mad Men wedding!

Get well soon, Sarah Ferguson!
