Daytime TV and a nation of kids sick at home have lost a legend

Not me being petty.

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Instead of negotiating with the writers and actors in good faith, the AMPTP has hired a crisis team to clean up their image. LOL, did they just now figure out that the billionaire heads of the studios aren’t viewed as the heroes of this conflict?

So, if the strike were to end soon (don’t hold your breath) how long would it take to get shows up and running again?

The showrunner of Nancy Drew has some thoughts on not the show being canceled and how the network let them know they were being canceled (spoiler: they didn’t).

Bravo swears they only make reality show casts sign NDAs to avoid spoilers, not to keep them from spilling the beans about illegal behavior.

You won’t have the Hollywood Critics Association to kick around anymore. No, they’re the “Hollywood Creative Alliance” now.

They can change their name, but the HCA is the same mixed bag of racists as they ever were.

Margot Robbie auditioned for American Horror Story: Asylum and didn’t get the role for some insane reason.

Could Freevee save Magnum P.I. yet again?

The Sopranos’ Drea de Matteo has started an OnlyFans. And good for her. I guess? Sure. Why not.

Well, here’s a thing: Richard Lewis admits that he disliked Larry David intensely when he first met him, that Larry “was cocky, he was arrogant.” But here’s the twist: they first met when they were 12 year olds, at summer camp.

The Republicans are out here sharing a fake story about the military charging grieving families tens of thousands of dollars to bring their dead soldiers home and stupid Fox News just repeated it, and now they’re apologizing because the last thing they need is another lawsuit accusing them of being lying liars (even though they totally are).

Former President Inmate Number P01135809 will go to trial for the January 6th case on March 4th, one day before Super Tuesday. (I mean, it’s unlikely that it will actually begin on March 4th, there very well might be delays. But it’s unlikely there will be enough delays to push this case until after the election, which is good.)

Once upon a time in 2006, a man walked into the BBC for a job interview, and someone mistook him for an interview guest, and he ended up answering a bunch of questions about online music — which he knew nothing about — on live TV. The clip went viral and now he’s suing the BBC for royalties.

Simone Biles is still my hero.

Feel better, Elton John, and BE CAREFUL.

One thought on “Daytime TV and a nation of kids sick at home have lost a legend”

  1. I’m catching up on Claim to Fame and they finally said the name and you just know one of the producers slipped them a hint, because there is no way these 20-somethings have any idea who that is.
