The Chapo people are proof positive that you can ideologically agree with someone on 95% of topics and still think they are self-righteous, toxic pieces of shit.

I will give you that he was not the worst guy for the gig in terms of competence.

I was a supporter of his before all the news came out about his past. There are plenty of other people—including several in the guest host rotation—who did an equally competent job and don’t have the baggage.

This is insane. Pornhub and those other sites (basically all owned by the same company) are pretty horrible. Onlyfans was destroying them, and putting the power back in the hands of sex workers. That it is being destroyed by Taliban Republicans makes me sick. When will be free of them? It is 2021. They want to control…

One part of this process that really irritates me, and I think it’s flown a little under the radar, is that Mike Richards supposedly wasn’t scheduled to be the guest host when he did his original run. He came out and was like “We had a cancellation, but aw shucks, the show must go on! So, if I absolutely have to be on…

Richards was EP. Maybe that explains it on its own.

Trebek’s slow decline and passing was watched by many. It was all over the news FOR MONTHS.

In addition to all of the personal misconduct that should instantly DQ him, he was also the showrunner over a really bad stretch of The Price is Right during Drew’s first years just in terms of onscreen product (remember Drewcases?), so I hope you like Jeopardy getting bogged down in unnecessary gimmicks (moreso than…

this hiring is getting to Chuck Todd levels of whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Read the whole article... man, that guy just seems vile. It’s not that he’s saying gross things, it’s the casualness in saying those things that is most striking, and at age 39. I said some shit ten years ago in my twenties I’m not at all proud of, but jeez. Yeah we need to be more sensitive about how we “cancel”…

I don’t watch the show, but I’m still pulling for a miracle change of heart here.

Aside from their business model, lots of articles have been written about how they don’t make any attempt to create a safer environment for their customers and employees and actually contribute to the local area’s economic distress.

I agree with the intent of what was said, but it is going to be interesting to see how it plays out - It will be easy for people to claim it’s the character/actors/culture that is unable to sell the movie as opposed to the real world fact of the pandemic.

I really want to see this film because I’ve enjoyed Simu in “ kim’s convenience” and was picking Master of Kung Fu off the spinner rack back in the day…

This is the extremely under-discussed dynamic at play here. Everybody, including the AV Club, has acted as if every guest host was a real and equal candidate for the job, when that can’t actually have been the case. Most of these folks were famous fans of the show who scratched off a bucket list item by pretending to…

The basic appeal of Jeopardy is that anyone, from whatever walk of life, can win so long as they have the knowledge and skill. And nothing exemplifies that more than our new host, who rejected a bunch of more talented people and then gave himself this job.

He usually sneaks in there to eavesdrop on executives discussing contract negotiations.

The pilot ended up flying for TBS after the Leno lead-in caused too much turbulence.

If it’s got any of season one’s nuance, this could be a much-needed definitive retelling of the story. Lewinski deserves it, if nobody else.

So it’s sort of like a mini-offshoot of the James Gunn situation, correct? Seems pretty shitty that he got fired, considering that it was a bunch of bad faith actors who specifically targeted him and went digging for dirt. It seems like he’s changed and grown up since then (though it is ridiculous that someone would…
