Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

The MTV VMAs were last night (pushed back to September 11 once the Presidential Debate was set for its original date, September 10).

And she tried to “hold it down for Britney” but the snake was a little too real.

Want Disney+ for $2 a month?

And over at Spectrum TV, you’ll be able to get Max and Discovery+ for free with some packages. Warner Bros. Discovery is also offering Discovery+ for $.99 a month to new subscribers because everyone is trying to get a new subscriber push at the end of this quarter.

Baby Owen is now in his thirties and I’m going to have to go lie down now.

Don’t hold your breath for a Selling Sunset reunion for season 8.

Jon Bon Jovi saved a woman in Nashville who was threatening to jump off a bridge. Somewhere, Dave Grohl is calling his publicist, demanding that they find a bridge and hire an actor.

Bo and Hope are back!

RD Whittington, who apparently is the star of Million Dollar Wheels, was arrested for fraud, which sounds … likely.

Get well soon, Julie Chen!

It looks like 67.1 million people watched the Presidential debate, some 16 million more than the debate in June that ended President Biden’s career. And that’s not taking into account streaming numbers.

And The Daily Show‘s post-debate show brought in the highest ratings for the series in seven years.

Former President Eating Pets is convinced (convincing himself) that he won Tuesday’s debate (which is adorable), and he’s real angry at ABC, accusing them of rigging the debate by ~checks notes~ fact-checking him on issues like baby-killing and pet-eating. And he is calling for the network to lose its license over it, which he will ABSOLUTELY try to do if he is elected.

And this is what happens when you spew baseless and racist conspiracy theories.

Hold up, HOLD UP, there was ANOTHER conspiracy theory Former President Imprisoned Transgender Illegal Aliens was trying to espouse on the debate stage, and it’s one I haven’t heard before? Oh man, you better send David Muir a fruit basket, you old creepy lunatic!

Even Fox News knows Kamala Harris won the debate. pic.twitter.com/KuTywJ85P1

Taylor Swift’s endorsement has driven hundreds of thousands of visits to vote.gov. Register to vote! (But remember, if you’re in Texas, you can’t register online because they don’t want you to vote.)

Irony is dead:
