Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will be a rerun tonight, BUT DO NOT PANIC. He’s merely going on summer hiatus and will return (presumably) after Labor Day. But before he headed to vacation he put out a message to Netflix and Amazon: “Call me, I’m available in June.” (Though, honestly, HBO might be the best fit.)
Colbert already has one job offer from Josh Brolin.
Jennifer Aniston opened up a little about Matthew Perry and his struggles with addiction: “But it almost felt like we’d been mourning Matthew for a long time because his battle with that disease was a really hard one for him to fight.”
Cool. Hey, where are the Epstein Files?
Emma Thompson could have saved us from all … this.
Oh, Bill Maher is really out here saying that The View isn’t “the best advertisement for women”? As a woman, I’m not sure I asked Bill Maher what he thought the “best advertisement” for my gender is, thanks.
Oh, I’m sorry, the man who is running around doing ICE cosplay and attending campaign rallies and starting his own failed anti-“woke” TV networks has suddenly decided he’s not “qualified to talk about politics”? Get the fuck outta here, Dr. Phil.
And as for you, Dean Cain: John Leguizamo, Frank Grillo, Margaret Cho, and Kevin McHale have some thoughts about your new career. But none were as vicious as John Oliver:
“You know, there’s an old saying in Hollywood: ‘If all you can get is Dean Cain, you are f—ed,” Oliver quipped. “Now, I’m not saying that ICE isn’t finding people. I’m just saying, when you are reduced to pinning a badge on the 59-year-old star of The Dog Who Saved Christmas, The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation, The Dog Who Saved the Holidays, The Dog Who Saved Halloween, The Dog Who Saved Easter, and The Dog Who Saved Summer, maybe you are in trouble.”
At this point, if there isn’t a Downton Abbey/Gilded Age crossover, we’re all going to be disappointed, right?
HGTV fans are calling the entire conceit behind Celebrity IOU, the show where celebrities renovate a room or two in their loved ones’ homes, “condescending” and “tone deaf,” and they’re not wrong?
Hey, Supernatural fans: Misha Collins is taking his one-man show on the road.
Do not come for Bachelorette Katie Thurston.
LOL, did Lauren Sanchez write this?
