Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Tomorrow’s episode of Saturday Night Live will likely be Bowen Yang’s last (until he returns to host one day). Yang joined the show as a writer in 2018, before joining the cast the following season, and has since been nominated for four Emmys. He made history as the first Chinese-American cast member and the third gay male cast member. His departure isn’t entirely surprising: there was some suggestion that last season would be his last as he had become increasingly busy with other projects. If tomorrow’s episode is his final episode, it would be fitting, as it will be hosted by his friend and Wicked co-star Ariana Grande.
Neither David Harbour nor Millie Bobby Brown attended the Stranger Things: The Final Season Celebration at the Paley Center last night. Brown was recently injured, and Harbour was reportedly involved in a strange incident in California where he took a man’s hat at a bar? This is doing nothing to tamp down the rumors about these two not getting along.
Jacqueline Laurita is claiming she’s being asked to join The Real Housewives of Orange County. It would be genuinely funny if Teresa were fired from The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and Jacqueline were hired on RHOC.
Stephen Colbert gives us one last holiday cartoon:
The Kennedys are HELLA PISSED about President Narcissist putting his name on The Kennedy Center, which very well could be illegal, as it requires Congressional approval. And, as the Kennedys point out, it’s a memorial to John F. Kennedy; it would be like adding President Dipshit’s name to the Lincoln Memorial. They’ve already added his name to the building. Horrific.
And apparently, we’re going full Hunger Games now? Sounds about right.
