Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

After President Biden appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Monday, he invited Meyers to go get some ice cream. The result is one of my new favorite “A Closer Look” segments — “A Closer Lick.”

Yes, Joey the Bachelor has yellow eyes. He’s aware.

I, like many folks, binged Griselda recently. I just wish this story had come out a few weeks ago, ahead of my recent trip to Miami so that i could have gone to a few of these places. Maybe next time.

Hilary Swank went on to win an Oscar because Les Moonves deemed her “too half-hour” to be cast in an hour-long drama.

I’m going to need Dr. Phil — who is not a medical doctor — to take all of the seats.

Lionsgate TV just cut more than half of its first-look and overall deals. Speculation is that they are trying to slim down to be attractive for acquisition, but that this is a particularly drastic cut.

Viewers can not get enough of Love Is Blind this season (and for good reason, these people are garbage).

Whoopi Goldberg admitted to planting fake gossip behind the scenes of The View to find out who was leaking to the press, and I think we can all guess who the guilty party was.

I CAN’T UNSEE THIS, ELMO.

Happy Leap Day, everybody! Ribbit ribbit ha ha ha! Elmo Frog loves you. ❤️ #LeapDay pic.twitter.com/PJSIx9l9J4
