Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Yesterday was all about The Bad Bunny Bowl, which — and I’m sure this will shock you — I happened to love, despite being a middle-aged white lady with no Puerto Rican roots or ties. It was beautiful and joyful and deeply symbolic and political and ultimately, a positive, unifying, and uplifting message: The only thing more powerful than hate is love. It was a celebration not just of Puerto Rico and its culture, but of community, and family, of small business, of resilience, of hard work and positive thinking, of America — ALL of America, and of love. There was an ACTUAL WEDDING for crying out loud! (The couple invited Bad Bunny to their wedding; he invited them to get married at the Super Bowl instead. HOW GREAT IS THAT?)

The reviews came in, and they are universally positive:

Adam Sandler praised his friend and ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ co-star Bad Bunny after his Super Bowl performance. 💚🥰 #badbunny #adamsandler #Super Bowl

Of course, one viewer disagreed with the critics, but the less said about him, the better.

Speaking of Kid Rock, how’d his little show go? OH.

And now people are dropping out of Kid Rock’s music festival, and he’s having to cancel some dates? Oh no. Anyway.

Former Real Housewives of New York City star Jill Zarin opened her racist trap about the Bad Bunny halftime show, calling it on Instagram, “the worst halftime show ever,” and whinging that she didn’t see any white people.

“It was the worst halftime show ever,” Zarin groaned in the video. “It’s 250 years that we’re celebrating right now in the United States, and I just don’t think it’s appropriate to have it in Spanish, and quite frankly, I didn’t need to see him grabbing his G area. I think it was totally inappropriate. You’ve got all these young kids watching the Super Bowl, and he doesn’t have to be grabbing himself every five seconds. Is he so insecure? Seriously.”

Zarin continued to complain that she “didn’t understand” what Bad Bunny was singing since his songs are in Spanish.

“To me, it looked like a political statement because there were literally no white people in the entire thing,” she said, failing to realize that Lady Gaga and Alix Earle were among those who made surprise cameos on the field during the show. “I think it was a political statement, and I’m not taking a side one way or the other, I just do. I think it was an ICE thing. I think the NFL sold out, and it’s very sad because it’s 75 years old. Shame. Shame!”

Zarin took the post down, but not before being dragged in the comments by some other Bravo stars.

Oh, and there was a sports ball thingy that happened, too.

The Seahawks’ coach going on Jimmy Kimmel Live! for his first post-Super Bowl interview feels pointed. 

The Winter Olympics began last weekend, and Vice President James Donald Bowman was not well-received by the European crowds.

A handful of U.S. Olympic athletes have bravely spoken about their mixed emotions about representing our country at this perilous moment in time, so of course, President Tantrum freaked the fuck out about it.

The Opening Ceremonies broke viewership records.

The FCC is investigating The View following James Talarico’s appearance on the show last week. OK. Go ahead and show me the proof that Ken Paxton or John Cornyn requested an appearance on The View and were denied, and we can go from there.

President Media Whore is endorsing the Tegna takeover by Nexstar, and is saying the quiet part out loud, claiming that it will “knock out Fake News” through “competition,” despite that being the exact opposite of what will happen.

The CEO and publisher of The Washington Post, Will Lewis, resigned after laying off a third of the staff and destroying one of our great institutions.

The military strong-armed soldiers into attending screenings of a particular documentary about a particular First Lady.

Oh, and a 70% dropoff in one week is a good thing, akshully.

This Tony Dokoupil thing is going well.

Meghan McCain, desperate for attention, criticizes talk show hosts as desperate to be liked. Ma’am.

Speaking of one of those talk show hosts: Sherri Shepherd isn’t ready to throw in the towel.

The Pitt, The Studio, and SNL50: The Anniversary Special were the big TV winners at The Directors Guild Awards. One Battle After Another was the big movie winner; adjust your Oscar ballots accordingly.

Warner Bros. is bullish about the upcoming Harry Potter series, claiming that it will be “the biggest streaming event in the history of HBO Max and arguably in streaming, period.” BIG TALK.

Jennie Garth auditioned for The White Lotus. (My guess is either the Leslie Bibb or Michelle Monaghan role.)

If you don’t know who Isabelle Klee is, I urge you to seek her out. She and her husband, Mr. Isabelle, and their dog Simon are doing good things for foster dogs that will heal your broken heart.

Who would you like to see as guest stars of The Muppet Show WHEN ABC brings it back? (You better bring it back, ABC.) This is a good list (what I would give for Paul F. Tompkins and Cole Escola), but I would add: Pedro Pascal; Tina Fey; Jane Krakowski; Jennifer Coolidge; John Waters; Alexander Skarsgard; Leslie Jones; Amy Poehler; and The Obamas.

Nancy Guthrie update:

The Guthrie family made another grim video addressing the abductor.

Authorities have secured Nancy’s home and searched her daughter Annie’s home this weekend.

Sheriffs say they do not have any suspects or persons of interest.

Hoda Kotb is filling in for Savannah Guthrie on The Today Show.

Heal quickly, Lindsey Vonn. And maybe don’t be so hard on yourself, lady. You’re going to be remembered as one of the best of all time, there’s nothing left to prove.
