Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Lost turns 20 on Sunday, and it’s vitally important that I acknowledge the show that, like the island did with Flight 815, changed my fate and brought me to this exact place right now. I had, at some point, planned to upload all of my recaps of Lost to this platform in time for this anniversary, but then life happened. I’ll get to it one day. In the meantime, here’s a nice wrap-up of the show’s biggest mysteries and Entertainment Weekly has a longer piece, explaining that controversial finale. No, they were not in purgatory the entire time.

(And you can find all of my season one, and most of my season two Lost recaps here on Foolish. One day I’ll get them all up on here — maybe in time for the 23rd anniversary! Or the 42nd. Who can say.)

Oh hey, look, another restraining order that The Bachelor producers missed: this time on Gil, one of The Golden Bachelorette’s potential suitors. You guys, what are you even doing? According to a show insider: “the show has ‘further edited his already limited screen time and minimized him in promotional assets moving forward.'” OK BUT HE SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ON THE SHOW IN THE FIRST PLACE, DUMMIES.

Meanwhile, Devin Strader is out here lying about his restraining order, claiming it was “never granted.” It was. SIR. HAVE YOU NOT LEARNED TO KEEP YOUR TRAP SHUT YET? Will someone please take his phone away for his own good?

Live with Kelly and Mark! said goodbye to Art Moore, an executive at the show and WABC’s VP Programming, as he retired this morning. The man and his colorful outfits have been a fixture on the show for 36 years now.

Jenji Kohan, the creator and producer of Weeds, thinks the planned sequel series (which she is not a part of) is some bullshit and unnecessary in this day and age of legal pot.

Did you catch these easter eggs in Agatha All Along‘s premiere? (spoilers, obvs.)

Meghann Fahy accidentally kicked Jennifer Coolidge in the face while filming White Lotus. Coolidge’s response: “Hey, man. You got to just go for it. Don’t worry about me.” And if you can’t hear Jennifer Coolidge saying that in your head, you’re lying.

Putting excellent but underappreciated series on Netflix pays out again.

Eric Roberts is out here talking a lot of shit. I mean, it’s good that he’s apologized for taking credit for Julia’s career, but let’s not fall over ourselves congratulating him for taking back such an asinine thing to say in the first place. Also, step off of Steel Magnolias, sir.

Speaking of family tension, Elle King is uninterested in dad Rob Schneider’s apology.

Well, yesterday was just an onslaught of political news:

In Not Insane News: Oprah hosted an in-person and virtual event for Kamala Harris that streamed on YouTube and parts aired on CNN and MSNBC last night. Vice President Harris said nothing about sharks or Hannibal Lecter. Here is a calm, easy-to-understand explanation on why Vice President Harris’ economic plan is better for taming inflation.

And in Insane News: Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina, and a man who has argued that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote, that some people “need killing” and that the Holocaust was a hoax, somehow got into even more trouble. CNN reported yesterday that on porn site forums, he described himself as a “Black Nazi,” argued that slavery should be brought back, admitted to enjoying trans porn, and peeping on women in showers, and suggested he had an affair with his sister-in-law. The deadline for Robinson to drop out of the race (but not to be removed from the ballot — that deadline has passed) was midnight yesterday. Robinson refused to budge, giving Republicans heartburn not only in North Carolina, but across the country.

 

And speaking of Robert Kennedy Jr., apparently, he was out here having an inappropriate relationship with New York Magazine reporter, Olivia Nuzzi, while she was reporting on his campaign. She’s on leave of absence from the magazine while they investigate the situation which somewhat baffling might have taken place AFTER the bear story broke? And, for some reason, this whole story was left out of the Politico newsletter this morning, which is only interesting because the editor is Nuzzi’s now ex-fiance, Ryan Lizza. HEY. CHERYL HINES. WHAT ARE YOU DOING, GIRL?

And what is crazy about all of this, is that at the same time Former President Mass Deportations is out here telling the Jewish community that if he loses, it will be their fault. NOPE, CAN’T SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT.
