I love you, New Orleans.

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Jon Stewart formally extended an invitation to Elon Musk to appear on The Daily Show unedited. This after last week when Musk suggested he might go on the show — only to immediately backpedal, claiming that Stewart is a “propagandist” who “used to be more bipartisan.” Oh and also because he knows he’d get his ass handed to him.

“You give me too little credit,” Stewart said. “Again, the guy who custom-made his own dark MAGA hat that he wears to opine in the Oval Office with the president who he spent $270 million to elect thinks I’m just too partisan. I’m really not sure what he thinks bipartisan means.”

Stewart continued, “Elon, if you want to do the show, great. I support, in general, the idea of efficiency and delivering better services to the American public in cheaper and more efficient ways, and if you want to come in and talk about it on the show, great. If you don’t want to, sure. But can we just drop the pretense that you won’t do it because I don’t measure up to the standards of neutral discourse that you demand and display at all times? Because, quite frankly, that’s bullshit. You know it. I know it. Bullshit.”

What is going on over at The Bachelor, you guys? So … they paused The Bachelorette and then fired most of the crew and staff, which isn’t a positive development. A story came out a few days later (that I somehow missed) about how the showrunners, Claire Freeland and Bennett Graebner, are creating a toxic workplace environment, shutting out long-time employees, refusing to engage with the staff, and being hyper-critical. In fact, many people point to Freeland as being the person who chose to make Jen Trann watch her proposal live on stage, even though it was clearly traumatizing for her.

OK, so, in that story, they also reveal that Jodi Baskerville, a producer who worked on the post-production story side of the show left in 2024, and was replaced by two new producers, Michael Margolis and Keely Booth. EXCEPT: Booth is one of Freeland’s oldest friends and Margolis IS FREELAND’S HUSBAND. “Warner Bros has formal conflict-of-interest processes in place, as well as protocols to be followed if hired, and the company said that a formal process occurred and that the pair do not report to Freeland.” OK. And that brings us to today’s news, which is that Margolis and Booth just resigned from the show. HUH. WHY? What a mess. Stay tuned.

The Oscars might leave ABC in a few years. And despite the ceremony receiving good reviews, the numbers were down from last year.

Hey, here’s a picture from the upcoming season of The Bear. It’s exactly as revealing as you think it will be.
