Can you guess which three network TV shows were the most watched last season and which Netflix show beat them all?
It’s a bloodbath at NBC: see which shows they just canceled
Happy 20th, ‘Lost’!
If you’re not going to call out a fascist’s lies, maybe don’t give them a platform to spew them. Looking at you, ’60 Minutes.’
All the buzz about ‘Yellowjackets.’ (I am sorry.)
Honor Gilbert Gottfried by watching this ‘Hollywood Squares’ clip, you fool.
‘Saturday Night Live’ returned with Woody Harrelson, a bunch of other stars and a nod to Rice University. And it was OK.

Welcome to the 45th season of Saturday Night Live, a season that was marred before it even began by a casting controversy after the show cast a “conservative” comedian whose “humor” involved making fun of Asians, women, and homosexuals.

Instead, everything felt comfortable and predictable — not boring, exactly, but also not memorable in the long haul, either.

I have no idea why Liev Schrieber was hosting Saturday Night Live this week. Ray Donovan is in its sixth season and returned on Showtime … ~checks notes~ … three weeks ago, so why? Why is he here? He’s not funny, he managed to botch many of his lines and he’s the celebrity and acting equivalent of of oatmeal: he’s fine, but I’m not going to recognize him if he knocked on my front door.
And so it is completely unsurprising that Schreiber’s hosting job was overshadowed by a right-wing eyepatch-sporting congressman — MY right-wing eyepatch-sporting congressman. And yes, I have one or two thoughts about it. Continue reading “In which Dan Crenshaw takes over ‘Saturday Night Live’ and I have a few things to yell about it”
