Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
ALL HAIL VITO, OUR NEW PUG OVERLORD.
Some horrors from yesterday’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade:
2. Ariana Madix singing “Love Fool” on a float for some reason.
3. Al Roker asking Ana Gasteyer if she likes her “stuffing moist.”
For you The Boys fans, here’s a good Variety piece with Eric Kripke and Antony Starr. One of the things that is most interesting is how Kripke reminds us that the comic books the show is based on began publishing back in 2006 — meaning, it’s not that the show is reflecting back to us our reality (though it definitely is), it’s that our reality has turned into The Boys.
“It’s not like we were designing it to reflect reality, but we happen to be making a show about violent authoritarians who present as celebrities. Then suddenly, the world changed to reflect the show, not just in the States – all over the world,” he shares. “Suddenly we found ourselves making one of the most current shows on television.”
Former General Hospital actor Ingo Rademacher wants to bring back his dismissed lawsuit against ABC for firing him after he refused to get vaccinated. Yeah, ok, good luck, with that, you insane anti-vaxxer.
If you have not yet, I strongly urge you to watch the delightful A Man on the Inside on Netflix— unless, like one of our dear friends, your mother has recently died of a dementia-related illness and your father has moved into a nursing home.
Severance will be getting a companion podcast when it returns next year.
Oh no, the Toms are breaking up.
Everything I’ve ever read about Bryan Cranston suggests that he’s a really good dude.
We have Will Ferrell, and Will Ferrell alone, to thank for the blessing that is “More Cowbell.”
