ABC Producer: "Ok, so, we need to do something to make Luigi Mangione less photogenic in these courtroom photographs."

Photog: "What if we put him in front of the most iconic bailiff that has ever existed?"

ABC Producer: "Can she be looking outwards as if it is the system that is truly on trial?"

Tweeting with @merrillbarr.com about Magnum last night reminded me of my favorite piece of MAGNUM, PI trivia. After the show’d been cancelled, QUANTUM LEAP had plans for Sam to leap into Thomas Magnum. It never happened, but here’s test footage of Scott Bakula doing Selleck’s “eyebrow wiggle.”

You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
You got a brand new soul
Mmm, and a cross of gold
But, Virginia, they didn't give you quite enough information
You didn't count on me
When you were counting on your rosary
Oh-whoa-whoa
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

What a small world. A lifetime ago (2008), @dustyabell.bsky.social and Rico Renzi graciously produced this amazing pinup for our DYNAMO 5 ANNUAL. Then yesterday I ran into him in the office — he’s a character designer for CREATURE COMMANDOS, where I’m on the writing staff.

Allow me to freestyle off the New York Times' piece on Olivia Nuzzi and RFK Jr.:

"She loved the way the gargle of his voice echoed off the shelf where she keeps her matcha grinder and jars of room-temperature raw milk. She felt, at times, 'his worm spoke' to her. She enjoyed their dysentery."

The Daily Show fun fact: the only reason I know the play Love Letters is because @chrisregan.bsky.social used it as a punchline in his joke packets approximately once a month. He might’ve even pitched this exact upcoming production.
