Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Update on yesterday’s big story about Jimmy Fallon:
1. He’s REALLY SORRY, you guys.
“It’s embarrassing and I feel so bad. Sorry if I embarrassed you and your family and friends,” Fallon said during a Zoom meeting with “Tonight” employees, Variety has learned. “I feel so bad I can’t even tell you.” He told the assemblage during the meeting, which was said to be brief: “I want this show to be fun, it should be inclusive for everybody, it should be funny, it should be the best show, the best people.”
“This is so stupid. I remember this moment quite well … I teased Jimmy about a flub, and we all had a fun laugh about how rarely Jimmy is thrown off,” Seinfeld said. “It was not uncomfortable at all. Jimmy and I still occasionally recall it and laugh. Idiotic twisting of events.”

Here are the shows that Roku just pulled: mostly it’s a lot of the Quibi content, as far as I can tell.
The Chrisleys had some years shaved off their prison sentences.
So the Sophie Turner/Joe Jonas divorce discourse is not going how Joe Jonas expected. A VERY quick recap of what has gone down so far:
1. Last Friday someone (Jonas) leaked to TMZ that he was seeking out divorce attorneys to divorce Sophie Turner after four years of marriage and that he has been “caring for their 2 young children ‘pretty much all of the time,’ even as his band was touring. We’re told Joe currently has both kids, as the group plays around the U.S.” What TMZ neglected to mention is that Turner has been in the U.K., filming a new TV series, Joan, and that men are perfectly capable of parenting their children, too.
2. The pair put out a joint statement announcing their amicable divorce, and asking for privacy for their children.
3. TMZ starts reporting that Turner was partying too much, that Jonas caught her saying or doing SOMETHING on a Ring camera, and then photographs him being a perfect dad with his two daughters at brunch, throwing the whole “privacy for the kids” thing right out the fucking window in an attempt to paint himself as a super dad.
Fortunately, people are seeing through Jonas’ hyper-aggressive and misogynistic P.R. push, and wondering what the hell did he do? Because clearly he did something terrible to be attacking the mother of his children so viciously through the press, in a clear attempt to diminish whatever it is that is about to come out about him, right?
Anyway, people aren’t falling for it, and that’s the one bright spot here:
Joe Jonas and his PR team have single-handedly taken me from total indifference to absolute hatred of him in a matter of days.
Bro really thought he could run the 90s Justin Timberlake 'misogyny in the press' playbook on the mother of his children & not get called on it in 2023. https://t.co/5yekta6ML2

Joe Jonas parading his kids in front of the paparazzi (when they’ve been previously very much kept out of the spotlight) and TMZ frantically claiming he’s in Dad Mode even though Sophie is away working is just such a fucking tell about how these shitty and awful dudes operate.

@colormeloverly we made fun of gwyneth’s conscious uncoupling, but!!! #parody #pr
So from what I call tell: Sophie Turner spent the last few years staying home with the kids while Joe Jonas toured, lived it up, partied etc.
Now she's gone over to the UK to film and yes, probably have some "no kids" fun and Joe Jonas is just like "OH FUCK NO!"— Dan eodyne.bsky.social (@Eodyne1) September 7, 2023
I think the big PR miscalculation the Jonas brother made is that everyone's frame of reference for Sophie Turner is a beloved character who is held hostage by various horrible men.

there is something so “Queen of the North” about Joe Jonas PR team going to the press every 12hrs only to have the entire internet turn on him with every headline

Anyway, Joan, the show that Sophie Turner was filming when all this shit went down sounds pretty strong. So I’m pretty sure our Queen will get the last laugh when all is said and done.
But finally, this is the single best headline about all of this mess. TMZ, you’ve outdone yourselves. Bravo.
Some things I missed last week:
