This is the weakest Emmy line up in years. The Crown?! The final 3 seasons were utter shit. 

There appears to be a mistake. I don’t see The Curse anywhere.

It’s weird that the nepo baby critique is always about people in the arts and not people in business, where the outcome is more substantive (and funnier) when someone just fucking sucks

Counterpoint: she’s just not a good actress and is uncharismatic, monotone, and dead-eyed in pretty much all of her roles. She’s at her best in talk show appearances when she’s just being a version of herself.

It’s Rabin! Now bring back Sean O’Neil, Tasha Robinson, and Zodiac Motherfucker!

Hader was fine on the TV show. All I remember from the podcast appearance was thinking “this is terrible” and when I went to the Earwolf boards, that was the general consensus there too. Moynihan is/was always great on both versions of CBB. I’ve love for Fourvel to reappear this year! It’s been years.

He’s good friends with a ton of great comedians/improvisors/comedic actors. He’s always awesome on Comedy Bang! Bang!. Some guests just don’t know how to interact with the improvisors — Bill Hader is one that surprisingly did NOT do well on the podcast — but Hamm gets it. It’s always a treat when the first guest…

Goofy Olivia Colman is the best Olivia Colman.

Yeah, you know the one character and actor that really brings the heart love of the entire family and has been an emotional lynchpin in the entire series? She’s replaceable, right?

perhaps they can also go on a side-quest to find Sally Hawkins

Exactly, burying the truths there. J.Lo’s grift feels like it’s finally been found out. Her last album and accompanying film tanked and I don’t think her new netflix film will do well.
She doesn’t have the talent she thinks she does. She’s a great stage performer, she can put on a show and dance her behind off. But…

It felt like J.Lo’s singing career was an attempt to create the idea that J.Lo was a “triple-threat entertainer,” despite having little ability to either sing or act. Not sure how she got the acting career based off of her admittedly impressive dancing skills.

Ah yes, those damn Millennial assholes, like Jane Austen, F Scott Fitzgerald and Charles Dickens.

In what world is this NOT another “woke killed comedy” rant? Because it sure as hell sounds like one to me. I see no difference, aside from you being a fan and not wanting to admit that is what she meant.

Correct. The “no one knows what they’re doing” era of Pop music was the 90s, in which swing, big bang, quasi surf rock, ska, and The god damned Squirrel Nut Zippers all got chances to shine on “pop” stations.

His and Ryan Gosling’s recent tonsorial moves indicate that 2024 is to men’s hair what 1980 was to pop music: Nobody knows what the hell they’re supposed to be doing.

Because that was the time they were finally able to do it?

They didn’t cancel it, he just didn’t go.

I was an undergrad when Late Night with Conan O’Brien started (1993) and was thus just exactly the right audience for his brand of talk-show. His kind of absurdity and self-deprecation was always right in my wheelhouse. He has continued to be exactly who he is and I respect him mightily for that. Oh, and Jimmy Fallon…

The gimmick is eating increasingly spicy fried chicken wings. I don’t come here for the rapport or insightful followups.
