Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
A lot more people watched BravoCon on Peacock this year than the last time it happened in 2023.
(Spoilers for the finale of Bel-Air.) Does future Will tell past Will not to slap Chris Rock at the Oscars, though?
You can call this Stranger Things phone number.
Some Stranger Things predictions that might count as mild spoilers. Proceed accordingly.
Your feel-good story of the day: Ricki Lake lost her home and everything she owned to the Los Angeles wildfires in January, but a stranger recently found a box full of pictures of Ricki Lake’s life, including photos of her son as a baby. Ricki has been reunited with the photos.
The Paramount/Netflix fight continues. Now, Paramount is claiming that Netflix is overvaluing the Discovery side of the deal, which doesn’t seem like a winning argument to me, but then again, how many boards of directors am I on, right?
Oh, and have I mentioned that Jared Kushner is mixed up in all of this? Because of course he is.
Remember: this is the endgame.
I hear ya, Rachel, and I agree, but have you seen the people who are running Paramount and CBS now?
David Letterman has spoken: Jimmy Kimmel is “the leader of the resistance.”
To be fair, TMZ, Nick Fuentes never said he was a “virgin.” He just said he had never had sex with a woman.
I genuinely hope that Andy Dick gets the help he so desperately needs.
Alright, Zach Woods, I was unaware of your game, sir.
