Apparently, Barbara Walters was out here throwing hands

Here’s an octopus punching a fish:

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

The WGA and the AMPTP are talking again, with negotiations remaining “fluid.” I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but I suppose any amount of talking leans towards good, right?

That said, the WGA released a report calling on lawmakers to reign in Disney, Amazon, and Netflix’s “anti-competitive practices.” So they’re clearly not ready to make nice.

And if streamers keep playing games like releasing episodes of TV on social media like TikTok, like Peacock recently did with Killing It, the writers and actors have just one more reason to stay on the picket lines.

Here’s a good explainer on why the Emmys are going to suck so hard this year on account of being shoved into January. But whaddya gonna do? Certainly not try to work around the NFL schedule, because that would be crazy.

Speaking of the Emmys, it is completely insane that The Bear, Barry, and Abbott Elementary are all in the “Comedy” category. Completely insane. Being 30 minutes long does not a comedy make.

David Harbour wants you to know that the fifth and final season of Stranger Things will be “very, very moving” and that the “OG characters get a big payoff.”

The Big Brother contestant who was kicked out of the house for using the N-word is surprisingly not a big fan of that decision.

The time David Spade refused to switch roles with David Bowie on SNL.

Actress Crystal Finn who appeared in Succession and The Tick is the latest victim of my personal favorite ocean avenger: the sea otters. The sea creatures are DONE with our BULLSHIT. 

Speaking of unprovoked attacks by surprising creatures: the recently-former ESPN broadcaster Sage Steele (she quit after suing Disney over their vaccine requirement, so she’s a real piece of work) claims that Barbara Walters shoved her into a trash can backstage at The View, lol. WHAT DID SHE DO TO PROVOKE BARBARA? Because Barbara Walters doesn’t strike me (pun not intended) as someone who just goes around shoving bitches. All I’m saying is that Sage Steele must have had it coming.

LOL, Ron DeSantis’ “Hey man, let’s be chill” approach to Disney doesn’t seem to be working out for him.

These people are dangerous:
