Whoo hoo some

scoop. Jeremy Strong told me he has recorded an expanded version of the “L to the OG” rap and it will be released soon. He’s not clear on the details. Succession composer Nicholas Brittel wrote the rap.

This arena is gonna catch on fire for all the smoldering looks coming from the stage. The visuals and theatrics are such a part of the

From David Letterman on
#RegisPhilbin
: “In the same category as Carson. Superlative. He was on our show a million times, always the best guest we ever had, charming, lovable and could take a punch. When he retired I lost interest in television. I love him.”
@StephenAtHome
nailed it with extra special scorn for House & Senate members who were only too eager to use incendiary rhetoric and the dangerous ploy of objecting to certification for political gain. Disgusting and un-American in the extreme. You reap what you sow.
"When all of those Republicans who are responsible for what happened are running for re-election, let's remember them for who they are: cynical cowards."
Nice moment for Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki and Mischa Collins in final season plug for Supernatural. Padalecki said he needed a moment to take it all in once they walked on stage.
#Supernatural
Getting some fun stuff backstage at
#SAGAwards
so here's a thread:
@ArianaDeBose
talking about her Lady Gaga fan girl moment on the carpet, Hollywood's first in many months:“That was my fangirl moment. Not gonna apologize for it. I stand by it,” she said.
Small thing, big impact. The water being passed out on the carpet is all in bottles, no plastic. So long as none get tossed inside the ballroom, this will be a good decision. Last year it was the Fiji Water girl. This year, the Icelandic guys?
#GoldenGlobes
Standing ovation all the way in the cheap seats to Logic’s reference to “you are not a shithole” during his anti suicide song performance. That song was rehearsed on Friday but not with shithole line.

"I wouldn’t want to imagine his treatment of those people if they’d been wearing Black Lives Matter hats instead of red MAGA ones." Nobody loves this country like the immigrants who chose it. Thanks

This photo of "A Black Lady Sketch Show" edit team winners, taken by PMC's tireless Michael Buckner, is too good not to share. Congrats to tonight's first wave of

mention of
#BettyWhite
, in the Dec. 3, 1948, edition of Daily, in a review of a comedy special she did with LA DJ Dick Haynes for KLAC-TV, now KCOP. Couldn't have been more than a few thousand TV sets in use in the region back then.
This thread is raw, from a pro: "Actors get infantilized on sets then criticized for childish behavior. I don’t care what number you are on the call sheet. Lead. From the back of the pack if you have to. No job nor career is worth a life."
If you’re an aspiring actor, and as my advice was good enough for a young Mcavoy I pray you’ll listen now.
When we were filming Pitch Black a producer came to give me a choice. They had a problem and needed to do a reshoot with me and a stuntie. The shoot thus far had been rough
Thank you everyone for the kind words today on my move to
@Variety
business editor. I'm lucky lucky lucky to cover such a dynamic beat in the greatest city in the world with fabulous colleagues at the Mighty V and beyond. Exselsior!
Thank you for the many congratulations. I am beyond lucky to work for a brand, a culture, a journalism institution that I truly love. And I am beyond fortunate to work with

“It’s all we’ve ever wanted,” she says. She feels “a thousand different ways” about the Kevin Hart situation.

Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof are here. Alexis is nommed for short form program. Budget for “I love Bekka and Lucy” was less than the cost of their car which doubled as Denisof’s dressing room. Both also weighed in on the Buffy reboot

Team TV knows how obsessed I have been on this story. I have always loved
#Jeopardy
but I fell hard back in love with it during pandemic when I was home every night at 7 to watch live. The deal is not done-done but looking good. The job is Mike Richards' to lose.
I could not resist the pull of an
#ER
reunion at Warner Bros. Story TK with Meredith Stiehm, David Zabel, Noah Wyle, Walon Green and more. We talked about how ER is the kind of show TV doesn’t make much anymore and what has been lost. Here’s a vid of the group shot.

This story was really a career highlight, thank you

because I did a lot of interviews and I don’t like to waste good quotes.
I read once that Frank Sinatra considered

his favorite singer of all time. Frank had great taste. What a voice, what a career, what a legacy.
@Variety
contributor Chris Morris does a fabulous job of putting his 96 years into perspective. RIP

is a doozy. From the Aug. 11, 1943, edition of Daily. A splashy debut for a legend in the making. RIP to a fantastic actor who was known to friends to be an even better human.
This was quite an assignment. Impressive doesn't begin to describe
@SpeakerPelosi
Sitting down to talk with her in the Capitol was a great privilege. It was the day after Oscars. Aides and & security guards in the corridors of power were abuzz about JLo's dress & 'Parasite's' win
When Nancy Pelosi became the first woman elected to the power post of House speaker, she made history. In our
#SuperTuesday
cover story, she discusses the state of the Democratic party, and how to take down Trump in the November election
A loving tribute to
#ArleenSorkin
penned by her husband of 33 years, Christopher Lloyd: “Arleen’s career blossomed, though her ego never did. She once had a business card made for her wallet that just said ‘What’s her name…from that show.’”

Thank you Stephen Colbert

Sarah Drew , nommed for Grey’s Anatomy, is juggling directing, acting and producing gigs these days and happy to be doing so. And looking fab in a pink number with a bit of superhero flair.
