Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Rudy Giuliani is in the hospital.
I lead with this because MAGA is mad all over again at Jimmy Kimmel for … I guess predicting the future? Sometime last week, Giuliani called Kimmel “one of the most distasteful human beings in this country” for making that widow joke about Melania — WHICH WAS NOT A CALL TO VIOLENCE, JUST A STATEMENT OF THE OBVIOUS. Kimmel, in response to Giuliani attacking him, said on his April 28th episode, “So last night, America’s mayor, Rudy Giuliani, rose from the grave to weigh in on the ongoing drama involving me,” before playing the clip of Giuliani, and then making some pretty routine jokes about America’s Former Mayor.
For those of you keeping track, Kimmel (and others) have joked about Giuliani being a vampire for some time now, and the joke about rising “from the grave” is just a part of that. But obviously, MAGA missed that reference and are coming off completely deranged:
“After making Trump assassination jokes, Jimmy Kimmel joked about Rudy Giuliani last week, saying he ‘rose from the grave.’ It was just announced tonight that Rudy was hospitalized and is in critical condition,” wrote MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson on X. “Why is Kimmel always joking about death?”
“Kimmel is literally the kiss of death,” wrote one commenter.
“It’s almost like Kimmel knows something is going to happen a day or two before it does…hmmmmmm,” said another.
Another wrote, “It’s almost as though he has mole inside that lets him know about things and he gets to joke about it ahead of time and then play innocent later.”
“What does Jimmy Kimmel know beforehand to make these types of “jokes” before these events happened?” one X user added.
This comes as President Diaper is STILL calling for ABC to fire Kimmel, while Kimmel finds himself garnering support from some strange quarters.
Following Scott Jennings’ temper tantrum on CNN the other day, Jim Acosta is calling for Jennings to be fired. Meanwhile, head of the FCC, Brendan Carr, posted on social media that “FCC rules don’t prohibit profanity on cable.” And when asked what the rules are on “smacking someone,” he replied, “Also not prohibited,” basically threatening Adam Mockler, the young man who infuriated Scott Jennings. COoooOOOoool.
HEY. DON’T YELL AT DR. SANTOS WHEN SHE’S ON BROADWAY. THAT’S RUDE.
Even some Republican states recognize that this Tegna/Nexstar merger is bullshit.
CBS is reducing the episode order for most of its shows. This allows them to air more unique shows over the course of the season, but it’s also an obvious cost-saving method.
Thanks to streaming, a lot of actors can no longer count on that sweet residual money.
Sounds like the creator of Beef is bracing for the show’s cancellation.
ABC still isn’t ruling out broadcasting Taylor Frankie Paul’s Bachelorette season.
“Is Mr. Fantasy the Only Thing Fun Left on the Internet?” The answer is, “Hold up, Archie Andrews?”
You know, Dave Chappelle … just when I think you’ve learned your lesson …
