1. CBS hasn't been the Columbia Broadcasting System in over 40 years.
2. CBS isn't licensed by the FCC, the local broadcast stations that carry its programs are.
3. There is no law or regulation that requires networks to have a Standards and Practices Department. CBS does voluntarily have a department of that nature…

When you do it in front of 250 people, it kind of limits your plausible deniability.

But he was really drunk at the time (it's safe to assume).

Somewhere in the back, behind all the native advertising.

I got to speak to her once, 15 years ago, and even then it seemed like a stiff breeze could blow her over. Maybe I just caught her on a bad night, but I'm astonished every time I see another story about her touring or recording a new album.

The FCC and the courts have been a little vague about bleeping. For a few post-Jackson years, the FCC ruled that even a bleeped word could still be actionable if the average person in the audience could figure out what had been bleeped. I think a circuit court overturned that interpretation, but it's not really 100%…

As long as the inevitable lawsuit gets into a courtroom before Trump and the GOP can pack their judges in.

Depends on how they classify it. "Indecent" material is allowed after 10pm. "Obscene" material is not allowed at any hour.

Yes they do. Ironically, cord cutting has made over-the-air broadcasting slightly more important now.

This is a totally clickbait headline. Not only would CBS be the one potentially in trouble, not Colbert, but the FCC is required to investigate, to one degree or another, when they get a public complaint about over-the-air content. They may quickly decide against doing anything, but the law doesn't allow them to…

She had a Sea Org type of contract that extends beyond the grave. Lousy agent.

They've been trying to stitch the rights together for years.

Why do I get the feeling this may be another "the guy you think is Khan isn't really Khan… honest!" -style ruse. Not that they go the Full Cushing with Leia, but don't they need something to wrap things up beyond "Uh, Leia just had a massive heart attack… over there… in the other room…"

Mark Hamill was on Rob Paulsen's podcast and talked about how, when he first got into voiceover work, he was incredibly excited to meet all the regulars whose names he'd seen in cartoon credits over the years. It's like Rob Paulsen was Mark Hamill's Mark Hamill.

The End!

"But kangaroos give me the hee-Bee-Gee-bees."

Do a little rewording, and we can find a way to abbreviate it as OH-CRAP.

You don't get the full effect unless you see the video, in which he literally gestures at the wall to demonstrate that there are no corners.

I doubt he works 80 days a year on Walking Dead. He generally plays a significant role in what, maybe 4-5 episodes per season, and then gets a scene or two in another 8? That would probably be 40 days or so.
That said, he's considered a full cast member, so he probably has a flat season rate with a maximum number of…
