Not a single thought going through his head.
@ashpribb Not how you’re supposed to play the game…
Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Taylor Sheridan will leave Paramount for NBCUniversal beginning in 2029. This is somewhat shocking news, as Sheridan was long considered Paramount’s golden goose.
“On Paramount+ today, we have a really great foundation, which is the Taylor Sheridan universe,” Paramount’s Chair of Direct-to-Consumer Cindy Holland said in August.
Sheridan’s current Paramount series include Mayor of Kingstown, Landman, Lioness, Tulsa King, and three upcoming Yellowstone spinoffs, Beth & Rip and The Madison for Paramount+ and Y: Marshals for CBS.
Paramount Global co-CEO Chris McCarthy, who was closely involved with Sheridan’s projects, left the company after the Paramount-Skydance merger. From some reporting, McCarthy was more lenient with Sheridan’s budgets and production demands, and following the merger, Paramount started pulling that back. The question, though, is what will Paramount offer other than a bunch of Star Trek franchises and a revamped CBS News, once Sheridan leaves? And does this loss suggest that Paramount is even more determined to acquire Warner Bros. to make up for a now gaping hole in their well of talent?
Who is leaving CBS News and Paramount: John Dickerson. Dickerson was a co-host of CBS Evening News and had been with CBS News since 2009. His mother, Nancy Dickerson, was CBS News’ first female correspondent.
Speaking of Paramount, CBS News was the only network to not cover President Corrupto’s pardon of money-laundering cryptocurrency billionaire Changpeng Zhao. Even Fox News covered it. HUH. WEIRD.
As for MSNBC, be prepared to start calling it MSNOW on November 15.
Sounds like we might have our new Crockett and Tubbs.
I only realized I liked the mustache after it was gone. I also only put together that Captain Nick was Kevin from Shameless (maybe my favorite character?) once the mustache was shaved because I wasn’t paying much attention.
You know what? I’m not even going to argue with this list of the best pilot episodes of all time. Pilot episodes are nearly impossible to pull off, but the top five on this list were nothing short of genius.
Heidi Gardner will be Ego Nwodim’s first guest on the second season of her podcast this week. Wonder what they’ll have to talk about?
Bobby Moynihan has some good advice for the SNL cast who remain: “I wish them all luck, and I wish the ones who are there that they have a good therapist and good sleep.”
These stars suggest saying no to Saturday Night Live isn’t the mistake it sounds like it would be. (Well, maybe not Andy Dick.)
Lily Allen’s new album makes some bold accusations against ex-husband David Harbour, and just in time for Stranger Things 5 to come out!
Can’t a man take a vacation? Damn.
Netflix is shutting down the video game studio that made Squid Game Unleashed and other games.
Lonesome Dove, one of the greatest miniseries ever made, originated as a John Wayne, Henry Fonda, and Jimmy Stewart movie script, before being turned into a novel, which was then turned into a miniseries. I always assumed McMuty wrote it as a novel first, which shows what I knows. (I just recently watched the miniseries for the first time. Don’t look at me like that; I grew up in a time when if you missed something on TV, you missed it until it came back around again. And when Lonesome Dove the miniseries came out, 16-year-old me had better things to do than watch a miniseries about white-haired cowboys.)
As for the other Stark children, congratulations, Isaac Hempstead Wright!
Reminder: Kamala Harris was right about everything.

WATCH THIS
IT: Alright — we are entering the last week of Halloween, I’m afraid, so time to get serious and really lean into the scaries. If you enjoyed the new IT series on HBO, maybe go back and watch the excellent 2017 movie (the first one, not the disappointing second). 6:45 p.m., IFC
World Series Game 3: Speaking of 2017, I hate the Dodgers because they are a bunch of whiny babies. So I was already rooting against them in this series. But then President Tariffs went and gave me a reason to actively root for the Blue Jays and so here we are. Go birds. 6 p.m., Fox
The Sixth Sense: No, but seriously, what happened to M. Night Shyamalan? Because for real, this is a perfect movie. 8 p.m., HBO
