I need you to see this beaver and his frog friend. It’s like a children’s book:
Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Pluribus season 2 news: There are scripts! Well, at least a script. But still!
The Real Housewives take (Off-) Broadway!
Keep up the good work, Bari Weiss.
A reminder: you don’t have to give your credit card number to be cast on a show as an extra.
Awards season is around the corner somehow: here are all the important dates to put on your calendar.
The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are suing My Chemical Romance for outfitting their backup dancers in Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader costumes, and I was like, “OK, but how much could they really look like Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader costumes?” and the answer is VERY MUCH.
Though Halloween has fallen on Saturday night 9 times since Saturday Night Live debuted, they’ve only aired episodes on Halloween four times. This Saturday, hosted by Obsession star Inde Navarrette, will be the fifth time.
Start selling the T-shirts, Jimmy Kimmel; I’ll buy one.
Hasan Piker is suing Scott Jennings for $72.5 million after Jennings posted an edited video on his podcast that suggested Piker was announcing he was racist and that he wanted to go back to a time when Black people were being lynched. Oh, and Ted Cruz, you could be next.
Katie Zacharia is “perplexed” about what happened with Sean Hannity, and blames the media for her firing. First of all, honey, your job was to deal with the media. If you got fired after dealing with the media ONE TIME, you weren’t cut out for the job. And as for what happened with Sean Hannity: do you still not get that he was just the hit man, and the order to take you out came from much higher up?
What is Fox News clutching their pearls about in the final week before the midterms? The Cheesecake Factory, obviously. President Obama really struck a nerve with that banger.
HEY. YOU HAVE THREE MORE DAYS TO VOTE EARLY. GET TO IT.
