Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

“This isn’t what a turnaround looks like. This is what a train wreck looks like.”

President Ballroom is screaming at ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel again. But despite the tantruming, it looks like there will be no repeat of what happened last fall.

Late Nighter puts odds on each of Saturday Night Live’s cast members’ chances to return next season, and, yeah, it’s not looking great for Kam Patterson.

The Vampire Lestat will perform live in concert in New York in June.

Saturday Night Live writer Jimmy Fowlie has tragically announced that his sister, who went missing in December, has died, and her death is being investigated as a homicide.

You better get well soon, Katya.

And that will be hilarious.
