[The Limey] – MSNBC has dropped Keith Olbermann. His last show was tonight. Lawrence O’Donnell gets his slot, starting Monday. This is pure spite by the network for his win in November. It is also both deeply unfair and unprovoked. I say this was not resignation it was assisted [...] [The Limey] – So, after what feels like six moths of endless, relentless and immeasurably pointless hype and self-serving marketing, the great Betty White / SNL spectacular is finally done. Now we can suppose NBC will spend the next six months telling us how smart, funny and bitingly relevant the show [...] [The Limey] – In the final denouement of what may be Hollywood’s worst-kept secret since the personal life choices of the late Liberace, Will and Grace actor Sean Hayes has finally agreed that he’s gay. When the now 39-year old actor first appeared on the screen in 1998 as Will’s constantly [...] [The Limey] That beacon of truth and incisive reporting, TMZ is running a story that NBC and Jay Leno have struck a deal which puts Jay firmly back on the throne he should never have left.

He was 73. Born James Bateman, on September 21, 1935 in Germantown, Pennsylvnia, Henry took his [...] For seventeen years, Jay Leno ruled late-night with no serious contenders. Since relinquishing his throne to Conan O’Brien, the NBC suits have been faced by a complex conundrum – How to stop Coco’s ratings from tanking once Jay debuts in the fall? Conan’s rendering of a show that is one of [...] NBC’s ‘Nightly News’ anchor, and Jay Leno’s most finely-honed straight-man, Brian Williams, has been rightly selected to receive this year’s Walter Cronkite Award. Mr Williams, who has often said he regarded Walter Cronkite as a childhood idol, will receive the award during a luncheon at Arizona State University’s ‘Walter Cronkite School [...] And so it begins. TNT’s ongoing insult ‘Trust Me’ seems to have started a trend, and this is where I need to record that a regrettable chance for “I told you so!” is now almost certain as part of our future. The highlight of last weekend, of course, was the football [...] |
