Confirmed: Citytv and Citytv+ will carry Jimmy Kimmel Live! when it’s back on-air tomorrow. Sorry, Hudson and Rex fans.

I got ten minutes with Stallone and decided to take it. Found him quite interesting on acting, and writing for himself; he told me Tulsa King had to recast a major role at the last minute this season. And, yeah, I asked about his special ambassador role too. www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

This just in from Sinclair: "Beginning Tuesday night Sinclair will be preempting 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show's potential return."

Quite the roller coaster. www.theglobeandmail.com/world/us-pol...

That's a LOT of current/former Disney talent. @thr.com $DIS www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

Oh man, Sports Illustrated, come on. www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/...

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

Excited for some Blue Jays playoff baseball!

Interacting with Toronto’s Young People's Theatre’s as a parent rather than a critic reinforces for me why it’s one of the great things about this city.

My Canadian and Irish citizenships are now aligned again. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

The new name of the Single-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers is… the Ontario Tower Buzzers. www.mlb.com/amp/news/dod...

Hmm... "A skit poking fun at LBJ got the president to call CBS Chairman William Paley in the middle of the night to complain — which, in turn, led to Paley asking the show to ease up on its presidential satire." www.npr.org/2017/02/10/5...

Blue Jays are 6-4 for the last ten games - just like the Yankees - and still up 3 games in the AL East. We got this.

Apparently, there was a lot of Seth Rogen news dumped on a day earlier this week when people were really only paying attention certain other comedy news. Not only is he rebooting The Muppets (for YouKnowWho+), he's going to be on season two of Nobody Wants This? www.netflix.com/tudum/articl...

Good lord, Octet (Crow's + Musical Stage + Soulpepper). What an impressive accomplishment – both on its own merit, and for the fact that it couldn't be less similar to Toronto's last romp with Dave Malloy. My Critic's Pick review is online now: www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

I've seen three shows so far at @justforlaughs.bsky.social Toronto. Loved each one. Two of the acts have their final sets tonight. www.goaheadsumi.com/just-for-lau...

It’s over a year until the next municipal election. Let’s just all live our lives a little longer.

Hooray, the ROM got rid of its airport security.

Enjoyed sitting down with Mae Martin ahead of the premiere of their new Netflix series, Wayward. www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/article...

South Park has been two steps ahead of the discourse all season.

A federal judge just struck Donal Trump's complaint against the New York Times and Penguin Random House under Rule 8 as "improper and impermissible" www.courtlistener.com/docket/71354...

Dutch late night TV has its take

It was a Canadian who came up with "The medium is the message". It's just not right for @mark-carney.bsky.social's government to be encouraging Canadians to go to X for government communications. Hold a press briefing, folks.

I find it ironic that @vgasparro.bsky.social chose to announce this on the cesspool that is X - in a message that also said: "Our government will not tolerate the advocating of political violence, terrorism or Anti-Semitism and hate more broadly." www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

New from me: Late-night show hosts bend the knee to Trump (wink, wink) after Jimmy Kimmel Live! yanked from ABC www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

Programming Note: Jon Stewart will be hosting The Daily Show tonight at 11/10c on Comedy Central. Just don't tell him it's Thursday 🤫

Jimmy Kimmel was practising late night exactly the right way www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

The way things are going @markcritch.bsky.social might be the last guy doing a Donald Trump impression on North American TV. Here he is making Mark McKinney's Mark Carney doing the chicken dance - "elbows up! elbows down!" - on this week's episode of 22 Minutes. www.tiktok.com/@thishourhas...

What to watch this weekend: CBC Gem has a couple strong international dramas dropping tomorrow. www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/article...

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

There's a line in The Morning Show S3 premiere, on Apple TV+ today, where the new network CEO says: "I do think the tide is turning with the January 6 crowd. Like it or not, the centre has moved.” I took it as dark satire.. but coming to realise it's how many in American media are actually thinking.

No new South Park tonight per this Paramount+ release. “Apparently when you do everything at the last minute sometimes you don’t get it done,” said Trey Parker and Matt Stone. “This one’s on us. We didn’t get it done in time." 🧐

The Globe and Mail's (@theglobeandmail.com) incredible Opinion team is hiring an editor. Details below, but message me if you have any questions: jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/theglo...

Gary Mason: "The death of Mr. Kirk, now being canonized by the right, gives Mr. Trump the opportunity to expand his far-right agenda. He might declare war on his own people to do it. In fact, it sounds like he already has." www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Andrew Coyne: "In order to regard Mr. Kirk as a moderate, you must either be an extremist yourself, or have no familiarity with his extensive public record." www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Watching The Amazing Race Canada finale on CTV Halifax with the six year old. Letting him stay up late, but not EDT late! (Rooting for Grace and Joe.)

“School zones” make no sense to me TBH. Maybe if you drop your kids off by car but for those of us who walk or bike our kids to school, it’s like saying to cars it’s okay to speed past my kids except the last block.

The passing of Paul Newman (2008), Sean Connery (2020), Sidney Poitier (2022), and now Robert Redford (2025) signals the slow disappearance of a certain type of 20th century figure: men who embodied classic style in a way that reflected their taste, rather than a professional stylist.

Everything in Shakespeare should be in Spelling Bee imo.

This Hour has 22 Minutes is back tonight with Mark McKinney back as Mark Carney. 8pm on CBC.

President Trump warns an Australian reporter that he’s hurting Australia because he asked him about his business activity: You are hurting Australia very much right now. They want to get along with me. Your leader is coming to see me soon, I'm going to tell him about you.

All four seasons of Due South are on CTV.ca with ads. www.ctv.ca/shows/due-so... If you have Disney+ in Canada, you can watch the show there, too.

I don't even understand how we have an amazing new starter now on top of everything. How can life be so beautiful. www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Just the Blue Jays being the Blue Jays.

Statement from Post Guild Leadership: The Washington Post Guild condemns the unjust firing of columnist Karen Attiah

What was the first medical drama The Pitt's R Scott Gemmill wrote for? Nope, it wasn't ER. It was Side Effects - starring Albert Schultz and set at a Toronto inner city clinic. It ran on CBC from 1992 to 1994. Not streaming anywhere but here's an old promo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7Bt...

New from me at TVO, on Crombie's departure and also some commentary about K-Pop Demon Hunters. www.tvo.org/article/anal...

Thanks to my wife for getting up with the kids this morning so I could stay up and file about the Emmy Awards - which seemed to be designed to be as neutral a ceremony as possible and yet had constant political undertones.

My take on the Emmys... (Seth Rogen, R. Scott Gemmill, Lorne Michaels. What would American TV be without the Canadian creative brain drain? What would Canadian TV be without it?) www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/televis...
