Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

R.I.P. Freevee. As many speculated, once Prime Video added an ad tier, their ad-supported VOD service Freevee would become redundant. A report just dropped suggesting that in fact, it will be shut down in a matter of weeks. Amazon, it should be noted, is denying that anything is being shut down, but …

The Writers Guild Award Nominations are out and the drama nominees are … interesting.

Jimmy Kimmel is making headlines for saying that he thinks this will be his final contract to do Jimmy Kimmel Live! Meaning, the show could be over in two years. EXCEPT! In the very next sentence, he says, “I hate to even say it, because everyone’s laughing at me now — each time I think that, and then it turns out to be not the case.” So everyone can calm down. Check back in in 2026. 

As for that lawsuit that George Santos has brought against Kimmel: “He says we deceived him under the guise of fandom — soliciting personalized videos, only to then broadcast these on national television. And if there’s one thing George Santos will not stand for, it’s using a fake name under false pretenses. … I mean, this is like getting sued for paternity by Nick Cannon.”

Elsewhere in late night, even more people tuned in to see Jon Stewart on The Daily Show this week, a 35% increase from the first appearance, in fact. (Methinks people forgot he was returning and the actual first appearance served to remind them to tune in.)

Now the story is that Kelly Rowland walked off of The Today Show because during her interview earlier in the morning, Savannah Guthrie asked her a couple of questions about Beyoncé. This … this isn’t a better explanation. Listen, I get not wanting to live in the shadow of your former girl group partner, but Kelly … Kelly. KELLY. This reaction is thin-skinned and ungracious. You’ve got to get used to the idea that you will always be associated with Beyoncé and that’s not a bad thing!

Stephen King would like to know where that Salem’s Lot remake is, Warner Bros. Discovery.

Truly, the worst Jeopardy! clue I’ve ever seen. They owe everyone a do-over.

This fucking guy. (He says he’s sorry, but that’s just because some P.R. flack grabbed his phone and posted this to his Instagram stories.)

Wait, will The Boys begin filming season five in April? Wait, when is season four premiering?

Fubo is suing over that Disney/Fox/Warner Bros. Discovery sports streaming service.

This is a grim report on the state of the business for working actors in television: basically, there are fewer pilots (down from 100 a decade ago to 3 this year), scripted series in general, and those scripted series that do exist have fewer episodes per season. This harshly limits opportunities that used to be available to actors trying to break into the business and just make a living.

Hey, Lorne Michaels: you are aware that this week’s host has Holocaust deniers/9/11 truthers/Pizzagate believers/Sandy Hook truthers routinely on his podcast? You know that, right?

Marvel is finally going to slow its roll.

In Development
