PUT CROSBY IN THAT BED IMMEDIATELY.
@theespicynugget I love him he’s the best but I just can’t do dogs in my bed 😩 I’m sorry don’t hate me
Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Aimee Lou Wood has zero regrets about calling out Saturday Night Live for making fun of her, and she’d do it again.
Looks like The Simpsons will be getting another movie, some 20 years after the first one.
BravoCon will stream live on Peacock, in case you can’t make it to Las Vegas.
Schmigadoon! is being turned into a Broadway show.
Fubo has moved one step closer to merging with Hulu With Live TV.
Conan was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night:
“Just as I was leaving my late-night show, I took you and all the other late-night hosts out,” the former Simpsons writer joked. “Remember this? I took you to a wonderful Sizzler restaurant, and we all had our trays, and I told you guys, ‘Take care of late night. If you take care of late night, late night will take care of you.’ I said, ‘Don’t do anything to ruffle any feathers.’ Remember? I said that. And I said, ‘Whatever you do, don’t speak truth to power.’ I said, ‘Cowardice is the way.’”
1.7 million people unsubscribed from Disney+ in response to the Jimmy Kimmel situation, costing the company around some $12 million in just a few days. While that’s just a drop in the bucket compared to the $4 billion stock loss they also suffered, it’s also clear that had they canceled the show, that number would have grown substantially. I hope everyone has learned a valuable — if expensive — lesson.
YouTube is the latest company to cave to authoritarianism.
Armando Iannucci, the brilliant creator of Veep, wants to make a series based on President Puddin’ Brain, but has been told that he won’t be able to acquire financing for it here in the States, and has been warned by journalists that “you better lawyer up, you will spend the next four years just weighed down by legal issues you have to get through.” Great times we’re living in.
David Cross is disgusted with the comedians who are at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, and letting them know.
We can never again take seriously anything these comedians complain about (unless it’s complaining that we don’t support enough torture and mass executions of journalists and LGBQT peace activists here in the states, or that we don’t terrorize enough Americans by flying planes into our buildings). I mean that’s it; you have a funny bit about how you don’t like Yankee Candles or airport lounges? Okay great, but you’re cool with murder and/or the public caning of women who were raped, and by having the audacity to be raped, were guilty of “engaging in adultery”? Got any bits on that?
These are some of my HEROES! Now look, some of you folks don’t stand for anything so you don’t have any credibility to lose, but my god, Dave and Louie and Bill, and Jim? Clearly you guys don’t give a shit about what the rest of us think, but how can any of us take any of you seriously ever again? All of your bitching about “cancel culture” and “freedom of speech” and all that shit? Done. You don’t get to talk about it ever again. By now we’ve all seen the contract you had to sign.
CALL ‘EM OUT, DAVID.
Taylor will continue her late-night tour with an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Josh Hartnett is OK, everyone.
#MeToo
The prosecution is asking the judge in Sean Combs’ case to give him at least 11 years in prison, and accuses him of being “unrepentant.” Cassie Ventura contributed a written statement to the prosecution’s sentencing memo, which included the following:
“While the defense attorneys at trial suggested that my time with Combs was akin to a ‘great modern love story,’ nothing could be further from the truth,” Ventura said in an emotional three-page submission, noting her time while heavily pregnant giving testimony at the trial. “Nothing about this story is great, modern, or loving—this was a horrific decade of my life stained by abuse, violence, forced sex, and degradation,” the Me & U singer stated of the “seemingly insurmountable level of trauma.”
Combs has been sued again by a former stylist for “sexual battery, human trafficking and more.”
Doctor Who actor, Noel Clarke, was arrested in the U.K. last week. It’s not been revealed what he was arrested for, but he had been accused of sexual misconduct by more than 20 women last year.
Natalie Dormer stars in The Lady, an ITV and Britbox drama series, as Sarah Ferguson. However, in the wake of the revelation that Ferguson had written glowing letters to Jeffrey Epstein, Dormer now says she will not do any promotion for the series.
Louis CK is sorry. Where this apology was eight years ago is unclear, but good on him for coming to terms with what he did, I suppose.
Once again, I am begging you people to not confuse the actors with the characters they play and stop being inappropriate with Harris Dickinson.
This is Kevin Spacey, right? My entirely speculative guess based on absolutely nothing is that it is Kevin Spacey.
Hey, where are those Epstein files?
If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, you can call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673), which routes the caller to their nearest sexual assault service provider. You can also search for your local center here.

Nooo, not The Great North! That and Bob’s Burgers are the best thing they had going on Sunday Nights
It’s been limping along for a long while now. It doesn’t help that Fox moves the animated series around so much it can be hard to find a favorite, especially if it’s not one of the big ones. R.I.P. Great North.

I was worried about it when I saw it was on Wednesday and then a random Thursday. Felt very much like they were jsut viewing it as a time filler.
