"Satirists pose a danger to the likes of Putin and Donald Trump because they expose that their claims to greatness are illusions," writes @mctelevision.bsky.social for @salon.com about the #JimmyKimmel situation www.salon.com/2025/09/19/j...

Amsterdam is lovely this time of year

"As any seasoned horror movie fan can attest, few frights are as reliably nauseating as eyeball trauma," writes @mctelevision.bsky.social about #AlienEarth for @salon.com www.salon.com/2025/09/18/t...

I’m sure all the standup comedians who have been ranting about censorship the last few years are going to take to the streets any minute now.

I wrote about the firing of Alan Sepinwall, which is awful. And I tied it into what's happening all over in the media, why it's scary & what we can do to help. I used my words, but it's definitely Hulk Mo dialed up to 11, if that's a thing you would like to experience: www.moryan.com/on-the-firin...

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

The Pitt is legitimately affecting, outstanding TV and I'm so glad it won Best Drama. #Emmys www.salon.com/2025/06/23/t...

The plan: we spend an entire award show promoting the Boys & Girls Clubs, then give them a donation of a few thousand dollars

“Severance" actor Tramell Tillman has won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series. He is the first Black man ever to win the award #Emmys

Cristin Milioti made #ThePenguin incredible IMO. #Emmys www.salon.com/2024/10/27/t...

That #GilmoreGirls bit was sharp and fun fact-filled. More of that. #Emmys

Does anybody know what the official comedy rules are for committing to the bit and knowing when to abandon said bit #Emmys

Stop. The. Stupid. Heartless. Counter. #Emmys

This was one of my favorite moments so far, truly

Jeff Hiller: Another nice, lovely person & another nice, lovely #Emmys win! I am going to miss #SomebodySomewhere but at least it went out with a bit of golden recognition. Here's my interview with him from S2. www.salon.com/2023/05/07/j...

Tramell Tillman FTW! #Emmys. I spoke to him about his work on #Severance earlier this year, can confirm that he's a delight all around. A well-deserved win! www.salon.com/2025/02/01/s...

Take it from someone who has covered the entertainment industry for more than 30 years, where this kind of thing is rampant: Some people want to do the work, and some people want to attend the cool parties & get invited into the insider group chats. It is rarely difficult to see which is which.

Happy to be taking a break from our current tensions by attending a screening for the "Downton Abbey" movie, which finds the Crawleys entering...the 1930s.

Based on from what I can tell concerning this list, if you watch TV for a living (see: physical inactivity) unless you're doing while riding a Peleton, you qualify.

Not gonna lie, this is my nightmare.

I know he is sick of my shit, but I love being a Black Cat Parent!

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

"All this glee misses the real measuring contest that’s going on, which is about who has enough wealth and will to fend off this administration’s efforts to muzzle criticism," writes @mctelevision.bsky.social.

A hero ain't nothin' but a sandwich man

AG Bondi says a DOJ employee has been fired after he was arrested for allegedly throwing a wrapped Subway sandwich at a federal law enforcement officer in Washington, D.C. Following his arrest, the man allegedly told one of the arresting officers: “I did it. I threw a sandwich.” wapo.st/3Uq59TN

RIP Dr. Danielle Spencer, aka our childhood friend Dee on "What's Happening!!" www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/a...

Everyone should watch this.

I haven't seen this yet, but based on the trailer it looks like Meghan Sussex learned from the 1st round of eps that her show is at its best when it has experts demonstrating how to do stuff, along with promoting ridiculous ideas like having an investment ham hanging out in one's living room.

Do not dismiss authoritarian displays as “distractions.” He is putting up guardrails to protect his unchecked power.

As a last resort I will come to a full stop but I am not moving.

Fingers crossed that Anthony hires a car to drive Carrie, Miranda & Charlotte to a country spa upstate, lets them out, allows them to walk ahead of him for a bit & then starts yelling, "Go on now, git!" while throwing small rocks as tears stream down his face. #AndJustLikeThat #AJLT

I mean, mergers are financial decisions

curious what nine months of Colbert with nothing to lose looks like

CBS: "This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount." Regardless, this feels like the beginning of the end of late night.

CBS just announced "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” will end in May 2026.
