Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Last call for suggestions of shows to hate- or love-blog! Next week I’ll let you know what the candidates are and the voting will open soon after that. Can’t wait to see what you monsters pick for me!

You know who is a big fan of Evil? Stephen King is a big fan of Evil. And if Stephen King is a big fan of your horror series, MAYBE THAT HORROR SERIES SHOULDN’T BE SUMMARILY CANCELED.

Smart, thought-provoking, occasionally VERY scary. Plus, the chemistry between the three evil-hunters is strong and…to quote Kamala…joyful. https://t.co/WPT4ZEkjAo

Let’s bring it back, Paramount. What are we even doing here?

If you didn’t watch last night’s Claim to Fame finale, don’t click on this clicky because you will be spoiled. What isn’t a spoiler (mostly) is that Hud and Mackenzie are now a couple, so that’s pretty cute.

Vin Rubino, the executive producer of the upcoming Hollywood Squares just got fired for a solid reason: “According to a source close to the matter, the veteran game show producer is accused of raising his arms and saying ‘don’t rob me’ to three persons of color — believed to be Black and Hispanic/Latino — who work as production assistants. Another person allegedly overheard the comment and reported it to HR.” HOW ARE YOU LIVING IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA IN THE YEAR 2024 AND THINK THAT’S A FUNNY JOKE THAT EVERYONE WILL JUST HAVE A GOOD LAUGH ABOUT? Read the room, mid white guys, damn.

You know who’s not surprised by the cancelation of The Acolyte? The actress who was the focus of all the racist vitriol that shitheads threw at the series.

Star Trek actor shuts down fake Star Trek fan:

There’s a report that Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga would be willing to put aside their differences to keep The Real Housewives of New Jersey going, but 1. we’ve heard that one before and 2. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA never.

And in other awkward Real Housewives familial situations news: one Orange County Housewife is now engaged to the ex-boyfriend of another Orange County Housewife.

Here’s the BBC telling homophobes to go touch grass.

C-SPAN came for JD Vance and did not hold back. This is a real caption:

Add ABBA to the list of musicians who don’t want Former President Tiny Dancer anywhere near their music. Because there’s literally a Wikipedia page dedicated to the musicians who oppose his use of their music.

And here’s your reminder that Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz’s first interview since becoming the Democratic nominees airs tonight on CNN at 8/9 p.m.

Come and get him, Putin. Try it.

Ana Navarro has no time for Megyn Kelly’s bullshit:

OK FIRST OF ALL: Congratulations, Mae Whitman! But second of all, you named your baby after your Parenthood co-star, Miles Heizer? THIS IS SO SWEET MY TEETH HURT.
