I would imagine that Allen would prefer a renewal of Last Man Standing, is that he owns a bigger chunk of the show. I’m pretty sure he had a piece of Home Improvment, but wouldn’t make as much dough from a reboot of it.

“People. They’re the worst.” Jerry Seinfeld.

And I would have liked to have see Tina Fey do stand up after a set by Letterman at his standup peak. We’d still be hearing the echoes of the crickets.

This collective whining about a performance at the dinner is par for the course, as numerous pundits collectively stripped a gear after Stephen Colbert eviscerated George W. Bush to his face, but which is now recognized as an amazing performance.

IIRC, FX used a part of their contract with Louis C.K. that made it possible to remove his name and his production company from the credits of “Better Things,” as well as cancelling the rest of their development deal with him. Carsey/Werner could ask Cosby to permission to remove his name from the credits and still…

In the case of syndicating “A Different World,” Carsey/Werner could do what FX did with Louis C.K, and “Better Things,” and remove his name from the credits as a creator/producer.

One of the best Dick Cavett “long” interviews was with Bob Hope, who was notorious for just doing, “set up-punch line” interviews, which drove interviewers, Johnny Carson in particular, absolutely nuts. Anyway, Cavett did a 90 minute show with Hope, which really went deep into his career, and was really interesting,…

Unlike Trump, Saul’s clients generally do what he tells them to do.

Finally, he’ll get the chance to do the biopic of Pappy McPoyle, and the history of the clan McPoyle.

I read a history of the Mars family and their company, and the reason that Amblin/Universal went with Reeses Pieces, is that Mars had such an odd corporate culture at the time, that they believed they didn’t need to do product placement, and figured regular advertising was all M&M’s needed, as they were already…

If Johnny Carson was doing television today, I imagine he’d be sticking it to Fox News on a pretty regular basis.

J.D. Salinger had the right idea in making it clear in his will that there were to be no film or stage adaptations of his work. At this point, the executor of Lee’s estate is simply interested in monetizing the work. After you’ve read the book and seen the film, has anyone really said, “Hey, I need to see a stage…

Fun with trivia. Comedian Godfrey Cambridge died of a heart attack while portraying Idi Amin in the TV movie, Victory At Entebbe. Idi Amin then announced that Cambridge’s death was “Punishment from God.” Obviously, God’s later aim sucked, as the actor that replaced him didn’t die after the shoot continued.

Yep, the episode was “When You Wish Upon A Weinstein,” which is now part of the FG syndication package. Married With Children pulled two episodes, “A Period Piece,” and “I’ll See You In Court,” both of which also aired in syndication.

“Uncle Bob” has already hit the roof about the ruling, and said he’d appeal it to the West Virginia Supreme Court. The man sues journalists and media like it’s a bodily function, and he’s had mixed results, from getting a newspaper in Northeast Ohio to stop writing about him, even scrubbing all references of him from…

And Foley and the Clash played “Street Scum” (That’s how they were billed in the credits.) in “The King Of Comedy.”

“Don’t forget the K!” Larry Fine to Country Joe & Fish, as voiced by Billy West on the Howard Stern Show.

I don’t even pay attention to national stories on our local station that’s owned by Sinclair. Do they still run that horrible commentary called “The Point?” The Pittsburgh Sinclair affiliate used to run it at the bottom of each part of their 10 PM news hour. It was a local media joke that viewers used to dive for…

While I have only seen clips of Love Affair, I watched Beatty’s interview on Larry King Live, promoting the film. At the beginning of the interview, Larry who looked normal for 1994 Larry pointed out that Beatty had the lighting on him set to his specifications. When the camera cut to Beatty, he looked like the main…

Any cartoon character voiced by Harvey Korman has my undivided attention.
