Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

THEY FINALLY DID IT, THEY RELEASED THE TRAILER FOR “PHILLY JUSTICE,” THE FAKE LEGAL SHOW THE CAST OF PARKS AND REC MADE UP IN THEIR SPARE TIME AND NOW ALL I WANT IS 7 SEASONS OF THIS:

GIMME.

The S&P downgraded Warner Bros. Discovery’s credit rating and warned that a split in the company, as is being considered, would be viewed negatively. Heck of a job, Zaslav.

HBO’s Hard Knocks was going to do an entire season about Bill Belichick’s first season as the head coach at the University of North Carolina, but then his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, demanded partial ownership of the show and editorial approval, so they nixed their plans. She’s amazing.

I’m not so sure, Savannah Chrisley, that the “Democrats” are responsible for your parents being in prison for doing crimes. It sure seems they were convicted by a jury in the red state of Georgia, but nice try in getting President Criminal to pardon Mom and Dad.

These are the changes to the Emmys that people want the most, including adding a “Best Episode of the Year” category, a reality performer category, and making limited series compete in the genre categories.

Kool-Aid the Movie, part gajillion.

I dunno, Brian Austen Green, maybe you should just keep your mouth shut about your kid’s mother.

That time George Wendt and his nephew Jason Sudeikis had “Thanksgiving Dinner” together on Late Night with Conan O’Brien:

Entertainment Weekly has a collection of condolences from George Wendt’s Cheers cast members, including Ted Danson and John Ratzenberger. Wendt happened to pass on the 32nd anniversary of the Cheers series finale.

Congratulations to the entire Kimmel family! Turns out he didn’t cancel Monday’s episode to avoid a now-awkward interview with Jake Tapper, but I wouldn’t have blamed him if he had!

POLUGHTICS

Stephen Colbert gets it:

“Ladies and gentlemen, I am a proud company man,” Colbert said. “I love who I work for, and I will stand up against these scurrilous accusations that Paramount is engaged in corporate malfeasance … for the low price of $50 million.”

Then he added, “I’m joking, obviously, satire. I would never take a bribe from CBS if Donald Trump outbids them, because Mr. President, I am willing to testify on your side in this lawsuit for $50,000,000 and one dollar.”

Then he added, “And remember. This is not a gift to me. It is a gift to the Stephen Colbert Presidential Library and Pizza Hut.”

Because yesterday it was ABC that President Pettypants was threatening, today it is NBC, because he’s very sensitive about this Qatar airplane corruption story, AS HE SHOULD BE.

“You know, you ought to get out of here. What does this have to do with the Qatari jet? They are giving the United States Air Force a jet, OK? And it’s a great thing. We’re talking about a lot of other things, and it is NBC trying to get off the subject of what you just saw. You are a terrible reporter. Number one, you don’t have what it takes to be a reporter. You are not smart enough. But for you to go on to a subject about a jet that was given to the United States Air Force, which is a very nice thing.

“You ought to go back to your studio at NBC, because Brian Roberts and the people that run that place, they ought to be investigated,” Trump said. “They are so terrible the way you run that network. And you are a disgrace. No more questions from you.”

And this isn’t about the media, but I wanted to call this part of the article to your attention. The story above took place during an Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa:

At his Oval Office meeting with Ramaphosa, Trump showed a video which he said backed up his claims that white South Africans were victims of mass killings. According to FactCheck.org, describing the situation as “genocide” is a mischaracterization of the term. Ramaphosa tried to refute Trump’s claims.

“I’m sorry I don’t have a plane to give you,” Ramaphosa told Trump.

“I wish you did. I would take it,” Trump said.

President Corruption is so corrupt, he doesn’t even recognize when people are being sarcastic to his face about his corruption.

You know who else President First Amendment Who? also tried to bully into submission? Law firms. Media mogul Barry Diller has announced he will refuse to use any of the firms that bent the knee.

“The worst that could happen to them under what the administration was doing is they could lose a little business,” the IAC chairman told Bloomberg while promoting his new memoir “Who Knew.” “I would never employ one of those law firms that did that, that essentially folded under these circumstances.”

Good for him.

President Very Stable Genius also spent the past few days crying because some singers don’t like him. He just can’t let it go.

President Donald Trump appears to be retreating—or getting knocked back on his heels—on multiple fronts. Trump is reportedly considering slashing his tariffs on China to deescalate his worsening trade war. Elon Musk is stepping back from his Department of Government Efficiency, which remains a political catastrophe for Trump. Federal scientists are admitting the measles outbreak is worse than previously acknowledged. And the leaks about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are intensifying. All this comes as a new poll finds broad public opposition to Trump’s abuses of power. That’s not supposed to be happening, according to a lot of savvy D.C. insiders who told us voters don’t care about this kind of thing at all. It turns out they do care. Today we’re talking about all this with Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg, who has been urging his party to make Trump’s weakness and his erratic retreats central to their message against him. Simon, thanks for coming back on.

Meawhile, Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the Venzeluans our country kidnapped and sent to El Salvador are still being held prisoner there; we are apparently also sending people to South Sudan against court orders; Congress is furiously trying to fin a way to strip food aid, Medicaid and Medicare funding so the top 10% of Americans can get a tax break; and while we’re making those cuts, he wants to spend $175 billion to build a missile defense system that we don’t need; the head of Homeland Security doesn’t know what “habeus corpus” is; we are restricing COVID vaccine access; and the President is running a crypto scheme to enrich himself in one of the most blantantly corrupt dealings any politican has ever accomplished in this country and not a single Republican is blinking an eye. I hate it here!
