Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
SO YESTERDAY WAS THE SUPERBOWL, and my very limited thoughts are as follows:
2. And while I have nothing against the ’49ers, I’m thrilled the Chiefs won just for all the crybabies who hate Taylor Swift and have been making weird theories about her, Travis Kelce, and President Biden. Also, I’m glad they won because it allowed this to happen:

3. Usher was fine — he was fine! — but a Ludacris halftime show would have been amazing.
There were some other ads that stood out, including:
- Ben Affleck’s Dunkin’ ad
- The Uber Eats ad (that got in trouble with people who have allergies)
- The Christopher Walken BMW ad
- And this Vince Vaughn/Tom Brady MGM betting ad, but only because Vince Vaughn is so naturally funny
- OH AND ALSO BEYONCÉ IS GIVING US COUNTRY MUSIC NOW.

In other Super Bowl news:
- Cox and DirecTV made an agreement mere hours before the game
- This putz (claims to have) refused to watch the game because a song hurt his fee-fees
- Marlee Matlin called out CBS for not featuring the ALS translators during the broadcast
- And during the game, Former President No One Likes Him claimed that Taylor Swift can’t endorse President Biden because she made money when he was President, which … she made A BILLION DOLLARS off of one tour when President Biden was in office, so what the fuck is he even talking about? (“What the fuck is Former President Dementia even talking about?” = the eternal question.)
Currently, there are no plans for another season of Fargo. BOO. HISS. (Seriously, season five was one of the best things on TV last year. Go watch it.)
ABC was at the Television Critics Association this weekend and ran into some trouble when an NPR reporter asked The Bachelor producers why they have such trouble navigating racial issues on the show. When The Bachelors came up with a non-answer, the reporter replied, “I guess we have our answer.”
Jeopardy!’s executive producer explains that he fired Mayim Bialik for the sake of “consistency” and blamed the television stations for demanding it.
ABC is considering running more Only Murders in the Building — and why wouldn’t they rebroadcast all that Hulu content, it is right there and helps promote Hulu.
Tina Fey has some advice for Bowen Yang:
Cheryl Hines pointing out the obvious: Larry David doesn’t care about people; what made you think he’s going to care about a Muppet?
