Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

The FCC has launched an investigation into Comcast and its relationships with its NBC affiliates for reasons that are absolutely not political at all.

Heads up: Kamala Harris is going to be Stephen Colbert’s guest on his show tonight, in her first post-election. AND WHADDYA GONNA DO ABOUT IT, FCC, CANCEL STEPHEN COLBERT AGAIN?

Pete Hegseth is reportedly considering running for Governor of Tennessee. And what, leave the GREAT JOB he’s been doing running the Pentagon? Oh no. What a terrible loss.

I like Neal McDonough, but he’s acting like he had some huge career as a romantic lead in Hollywood that he nobly sacrificed because he didn’t want to kiss a woman who wasn’t his wife, and I … I’m not so sure about all that.

Not that he needs it, but Liam Neeson has Andy Cohen’s blessing for whatever it is that is going on with Pamela Anderson.

I was happy with Adam Sandler until I wasn’t. (Spoilers for Happy Gilmore 2, you’ve been warned.)

Matt Damon’s appearance on Celebrity Jeopardy! with Ken Jennings went as well as it possibly could have:

Speaking of, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s planned Hulk Hogan movie is not moving forward. However, it has nothing to do with Hogan’s recent death: the project hadn’t moved forward in some time.

And while we’re on the subject of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, it sounds like the split between their then girlfriends, Gwyneth Paltrow and Winona Ryder, was much nastier than previously known because Gwyneth is terrible.

LOOK, I KNOW THIS IS AN AD. But it’s a good one. (H/T Pajiba)
