Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

There are reports out there that Andy Cohen is negotiating an exit package at Bravo following all the lawsuits and allegations of drug use and sexual harassment. Bravo and Cohen vehemently deny the reports. Personally, I can’t imagine Bravo and the whole Housewife universe without Andy Cohen but you never know: those legal bills might start adding up.

Here are your Daytime Emmy nominees.

Giancarlo Esposito’s big break was Breaking Bad, for sure, but the man had been an incredible actor for decades before that, often the best thing about any project he was in (go watch Bob Roberts), and so it breaks my heart to think he struggled so much that he considered hiring a hit man to kill him so that his kids could get the insurance money. THAT IS CRAZY. THE MAN IS A NATIONAL TREASURE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN ALL OF THE MOVIES.

I was so excited that So You Think You Can Dance was back, but I have to agree with everything this writer argues: maybe it shouldn’t have come back if this is the form it has to take.

John Cleese’s announced show about cancel culture has essentially been canceled before it was ever produced. What a shame.

Jimmy Kimmel is ready to hire some of the prospective jurors whose mean tweets about Former President Mushroom Dick were read in court.

30 Rock actor and author Maulik Pancholy (he played Jack Donaghy’s assistant Jonathan) was disinvited from speaking at a Pennsylvania middle school about bullying and his books The Best at It and Nikhil Out Loud because of his “lifestyle” and “activism.” 

Oh hey, David Zaslav got a huge raise over at Warner Bros. Discovery and all he had to do was cancel a ton of shows, shelve a bunch of projects that people had devoted years of their lives creating, and destroy an iconic brand.

I have strong feelings about Seth MacFarlane that are not positive ones, but then he goes and does something like this and it’s like “GAH, FINE, HE’S NOT A MONSTER IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR ME SAY?” and I am very irritated.

This Vanity Fair piece about how Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer hated each other and tried to steal each other’s stories is good gossipy fun.

Netflix is going silent on subscriber numbers for some reason. They claim time spent watching the service is a better metric but … come on.

Well, this is fascinating: more people have watched Quiet on Set than The Last of Us.
