Please, Ariana. We need you to do THE THING.
Is it too late for Conan O'Brien or Ariana DeBose to take over for hosting this #Emmys instead?
Nate Bergatze seems nice, but the writing is doing him no favors tonight.

I've been thinking about lot lately about my career as a writer (in multiple arenas)... I've especially been thinking about my (essentially sunsetting) time as a TV critic.

Yeah, The Newsreader is great.
REVIEW: "The Newsreader" — biting Australian series about the TV news business in 1980s Melbourne — is one of the best shows you've never heard of. It's back on AMC+ for a second season and as sharp as ever
Once again I seem to be the only U.S. critic covering it! It's worthy of your time!

Superman? "WOKE"? Ha! Why, is this new Superman played by a non-white guy or something? Not MY Superman.
Wait... What's that... Hmm... I'm hearing that DEAN "DEAN CAIN" TANAKA was actually the non-white Superman. That can't be right? Right? *has a woke stroke*
