If you can think of a better name for a two-headed Texas snake than “Pancho and Lefty,” then you win:
Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
If you were the creator of Daisy Jones and the Six, you’d feel pretty great about this endorsement, I would think:
Yes, the Riverdale actors know how silly their show is, and it hurts their feelings that you guys make fun of it. And I kinda understand that as an actor you want to be taken seriously … but at the same time, the absurdity of Riverdale is the point. Why on earth would anyone watch it otherwise? It’s not like it’s good.
Roman’s final line on Succession was originally going to be his very first line in the series: “What up, motherfucker?” … but they decided to go with a more subtle approach.
Here are the rules that the contestants on my favorite dumb game show, Claim to Fame, have to follow. By the way, the guesses on Chris’ celebrity relative — Elton John, Billy Idol, and Elvis — have been pound-for-pound the funniest moments on summer TV for me so far. I know EXACTLY who he is related to, and won’t be surprised if he wins it all because these dumb 20-somethings are never going to guess it.
If you’ve been waiting to buy yourself a Love is Blind goblet, now is the time.
Watch as a sportscaster manages to work in as many I Think You Should Leave references as possible in a 2-minute segment:

Here The New York Times complains about Welcome to Wrexham ruining the soccer team, but I bet the Wrexham fans and citizens aren’t upset.
Leonard Bernstein’s family would like y’all to stop talking about Bradley Cooper’s prosthetic nose in Maestro, please. (See trailer below.)
Hold up, Zooey Deschanel is engaged to a Property Brother? Congratulations!
Sounds like the negotiations between the WGA and the AMPTP have a ways to go still. And the longer the strike lasts, the less likely some of these bubble shows will be renewed.
One upside of the strike? Actors feel like their convention appearances and interactions with fans have become more meaningful as they are being asked questions about their actual lives instead of just the movie or TV show they are in.
LOL, MSNBC won the night during coverage of Former President Pissfingers’ most recent indictment.
Ron DeSantis would like it if Disney would put all this pettiness behind them, please. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT, RON!
This video is in reference to Elon and Mark Zuckerberg’s stupid MMA fight, but replace “Elon” with “Ron DeSantis” and “Zuckerberg” with “Disney” and it works much better:
