Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Ego Nwodim compares her decision to leave Saturday Night Live to the “seven-year itch,” and hopes the show will hire more Black women. Sooner rather than later, SNL.

The actual New York State Assemblyman named Harvey Epstein, whom John Mulaney spoofed on SNL, won his race. 

Alex Murdaugh’s lawyers are mad about Murdaugh: Murder in the Family. Oh well.

ESPN is taking its name off of ESPN BET following the gambling scandal that involved some NBA members.

While there have been more LGBTQ characters on TV this year than last, almost half of them have been on shows that will end or have been canceled. 

Can you imagine being killed by confetti? It certainly would go down as a weird death in a family that is marked by a very weird death.

Sarah Paulson’s least favorite season of American Horror Story is an interesting one: Roanoke.

The time NBC had to put out a statement saying they “respect the Puerto Rican flag.” I am old enough to remember watching this episode live and thinking, “Oh no.”

Uma Thurman had valuable advice for her daughter Maya Hawke ahead of her working with Quentin Tarantino: “Keep your shoes on.”

Vince Gilligan had no idea Weeds existed until he started pitching Breaking Bad to networks. 

Theresa Nist makes the next assault in the escalating Golden Bachelor War.

Thanks for everything, Nancy. You are a badass.
