Late to watching the first two eps of Loki, but the branching time loom is also in the post-credits sequence of Ant-Man 3, which makes me think this is more of a viewing device than a control device?

The trick to guessing the Masked Singer contestants is to immediately eliminate any A- or B-lister. You want someone who was a B-lister more than a decade ago, or used to be on that show you sort of liked. If they’ve been on Dancing with the Stars, they’re an automatic contender.

The same way iCarly was. (and that was also a show where the actor playing the sidekick character refused to come back and had to be awkwardly written out)

The general consensus on the Lost finale has flipped? Last time I remember seeing it discussed, everybody still agreed it was horrible.

I used to sort of know a director in LA who was quite wealthy and never divorced his first wife. He was living with a new, younger woman in one house, and the wife and kids were in another house down the street. And this had been going on for more than a decade.

Her main contribution to the entertainment world was Red Table Talk, which entered the zeitgeist as “Will Smith’s family talk about their problems.” If it’s Will’s ex-wife, and ex-mother-in-law, then the number of people that care goes WAY down.

I thought there was a bit of a reassessment when Jewel won the Masked Singer a couple of years ago that she was fairly underrated. Maybe that was just in my household.

“Fish scales,” I get, but I can’t find any evidence that “goat skin” is slang for sex. Urban dictionary says it’s slang for alcohol, which makes sense given the context.

Exactly. Matthew McConaughey was on Fallon’s first show back, but strictly to promote his children’s book.

She plays well off of Adam Sandler, and she showed David Letterman her boobs that one time.

So you’re telling me this is a show where Reese Witherspoon and Julianna Margulies are in a relationship with each other? Sounds like SOMEBODY finally read my fan fiction from 2003!

Yeah, to me, it reminded me of the nude beach, in that the vast majority of the contestants were not people who were conventionally attractive in the nude.

It’s tough, because I assume the multimedia spectacle costs enough that you have to do X number of shows to make your money back. The Killers would be an obvious choice, but I don’t know if they could do 50 shows, or whatever.

This is all fine, but there’s no script. There wasn’t a script before the writer’s strike, and if someone is working on one now, they started less than a week ago. Anything these execs say is the result of tossing ideas around a boardroom.

Genuine question: in what ways is “unhoused” a better term than “homeless”?

I was going to suggest Roy Wood is too old for the job, and then I looked it up, and he’s only 44. I would have guessed at least a decade older.

Those Deadsy royalties aren’t paying the bills anymore?

I mean, some of the stuff he did to later SNL cast members when he came back to host is pretty assholish (telling Terry Sweeney they should do a long-running sketch where Terry has AIDS and gets weighed every week... Will Ferrell said he’s the worst host he ever had and he’ll never work with him again).

Stallone is 77 years old. I don’t think we have to worry about seeing him in that many more movies.

It does seem like she’s been chasing the EGOT for some time now (and she’s got it, though the Emmy is a Daytime Emmy and the Tony is for producing, not performing).
