Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
So, Yellowstone returned and SPOILER! got immediately to dismissing Kevin Costner’s character John Dutton, rather than dragging it out in the remaining episodes. Executive producer and episode director Christina Voros reported that when she read the script, “I didn’t see it coming,” she continued. “I think there are people who are anticipating the season and wondering if it could all be about solving the mystery, right? But if you lay it out straight out of the gate, then the mystery becomes: What is the rest of the show going to be, since we’ve already let the cat out of the bag, and I think it’s kind of ingenious.” She added that the decision was all Tyler Sheridan’s.
Chloe Fineman revealed that yes, it was Elon Fucking Musk who made her “burst into tears” ahead of a live taping of Saturday Night Live, in a TikTok that has since been taken down. See, Musk got his feelings hurt on Saturday after Dana Carvey did a (not great) impersonation of him in Saturday Night Live‘s cold open, and he tweeted some pissy comments about SNL being mad that Former President Mental Decline-Elect won, so Fineman decided to clear some things up once and for all.
“OK, I just saw some news article about Elon Musk being like butt-hurt over SNL and his impression, but I’m like you’re clearly watching the show, like what are you talking about?” she said in opening the clip. “And I’m like, you know what? I’m gonna come out and say at long last that I’m the cast member that he made cry. And he’s the host that made someone cry.”
One upside of the election: Jesse Watters’ mother will have a much nicer Thanksgiving.
Alec Baldwin already hates his family’s new reality show that his unintentionally hilarious fake-Spainard wife is making him do.
John Mayer and McG are in final negotiations to buy the Jim Henson Company lot.
Steve Burton talked about filming those emotional final seasons with Kelly Monaco on General Hospital, and how Maurice Bernard offered him some advice.
Luann de Lesseps claims that she made out with Hugh Grant and all I will say is that Hugh Grant is somewhat notorious for making bad decisions.
Congratulations and good luck to Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly.
And another congrats to Katherine Schwarzenegger and Chris Pratt.
