1. I’m HIGHLY skeptical of this whole thing.

2. No details or motive given.

Because I don’t follow college football closely, I keep briefly thinking that “Lane Kiffin” is the name of a new Mormon wife with a secret life.

The Olivia Nuzzi Comeback Is Everything Wrong With Modern Media
Olivia Nuzzi’s comeback isn’t a personal scandal story—it’s proof that today’s media rewards access, personality, and controversy more than ethics.

Jimmy Kimmel responded to Donald Trump’s latest call to fire him, suggesting on air on November 20, ‘I’ll go when you go.’ He also quoted the president and advised, ‘Quiet, piggy.’

For The Ringer, I wrote about the best TV coaching trees, from series that did the best job of finding and nurturing writers and/or directors who would go on to make great shows of their own:
Which TV Show Has the Best Coaching Tree?
Vince Gilligan is eternal proof of the strength of the ‘X-Files’ writers room. But frankly, that room has a ton of competition across television history.

#DarynCarp, @primadonald.bsky.social and Kiki Monique all very good mingling with talent.
watching #Bravocon content on Peacock today and it seems they’re finally learning to livestream! A lot of podcasters who focus on Bravoverse are moderating and hosting offstage chats with talent.

this is a terrific conversation - plus I loved #DeathByLightning - read this!!
director and actor matt ross was integral in making the phenomenal DEATH BY LIGHTNING -- building an immersive period piece, working with a fantastic ensemble. we talked about his work, and why he might not do another TV miniseries ever again. @vulture.com:

Matt Ross Made Two Miniseries About the American Psyche. He Won’t Do It Again.
The Death by Lightning director is proud of his portrait of James Garfield and Charles Guiteau, even if he didn’t get final cut.

Still wondering why anyone at ABC thought this guy was attractive/marketable/TV ready.
Mel Owens really
showing his stupid ass on #TheGoldenBachelor finale - no emotional capability, woefully inarticulate and such a simple man - and not in a good way. What a dud.
