Just random violence too, that happens then is never spoken of again.

Cable-only series aimed at an older demographic gains viewers when it migrates to an over-the-air network?

Unlike some media outlets, some executives don’t see a money-making hit and immediately decide to cancel it for a quick tax bonus?

CBS started showing the UK version of Ghosts which the US version is based on to fill in air time due to the strikes.

I hear there is an opening on the daily show... 

His humor has simply turned into anger

He would actually be perfect for a show like “Meet the Press”. Though I don’t know if members of Congress would be keen on the potential of getting roasted by him on any given Sunday.

China will eventually be replaced as “the” manufacturing hub as the US was and the UK before it. It’s an inevitability. Africa will probably become the default location, which is why the Chinese have been investing heavily there in preparation for the shift.

All of the old Gawker sites (including the Onion and AV Club) were sold by Univision to a private equity firm which then formed G/O Media as its own separate entity in early 2019

And the Daily Show needs a host...perfect

There’s always that rumor Apple will buy Disney for whatever reason. Now I’m imagining an updated version of Sleeping Beauty where they’ve replaced the poisoned apple with a poisoned, uh... Google logo.

If Jon Stewart hasn’t already done “The Problem With Capitalism”, this would make a good object lesson for that episode.

Clearly you don’t know what you’re talking about and are pulling your take out of your ass.

Jon should be able to easily find a new distribution outlet and the necessary financing to continue this show, if he chooses to do so.  

The only good element of the pandemic was the deemphasis of China as a market for US-based entertainment, especially films, which increasingly muted any negative facets focused on China. But Apple has a special conflict of interest that will make it impossible to touch anything that could impact its relationship with

Well, unfortunately, it’s not too surprising that something like this would eventually happen - if anything, I’m surprised it took so long. Back when apple tv first started, there were those stories about Tim Cook getting waaay too personally involved in the creative choices of shows and movies, and it seemed like
