Re: [TV orNotTV] It'llBeOnTV: Musk possibly springing for (or comping) Twitter Blue for selected celebs

[Tom Wolper]

I assume Twitter is somewhere in its death spiral. I can’t really feel a
sense of loss because the demand for a similar social network obviously
exists and the engineers are still out there ready to build a new app as
soon as the VC money comes through.

The Twitter trust fund baby has had a rough week. His rocket exploded like
oh so many Teslas, his Tesla board admonished him, and there’s the everyday
reality of who he is every morning when he wakes up. That can’t be easy.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Tha God, Wolf, Desus Future 'TDS' Guest Hosts

[Adam Bowie]

I can easily see them sticking to the permanent guest-host format. They can
be so flexible with it, and as others have already said, it allows for all
kinds of Paramount stunt-hosting for big new Paramount+ launches, major
movies or whatever. And while I'm sure there's a steep learning curve for
the production team each time someone completely new comes along (not
everyone can read from a teleprompter, or conduct even the fluffiest of
interviews with a guest plugging something), what they'll end up doing is
re-using the same people once or twice a year who definitely are able to do
it.

It's not the same thing, but in the UK, Have I Got News For You has used
guest hosts for years now. In truth, there are a handful of names who
probably pop up once a series alongside a few new names. The show runs
smoothly.

So all the regular correspondents probably end up doing 2-3 weeks across
the year each, with guests the rest of the time. And the other thing is
that there's always next week to look forward to even if you don't get on
with the current host. If James Corden isn't your thing, you'd long bailed
on the Late Late Show. But if it was someone new every week, you'd perhaps
give the show another chance next week even if you hate this week's host.

Some will be good; some will be less good. But there's always something
new. And Comedy Central gets to release loads of press releases and get
coverage every time they have a new batch of names.

Personally speaking, I think this has breathed new life into the show.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Fox and Dominion reach settlement.

['Bob Jersey' via TVorNotTV]

Lachlan Murdoch, as a result of the settlement, dropped his defamation suit 
against the parent of Aussie news site Crikey over a column blaming him for 
the January 6th attack...

Steve Timko, to Kevin M and PGage, in part, April 20th:

 There’s still plenty of other chances to hold people accountable. NewsMax 
and OAN have also been sued by Dominion. Plus, there’s Rudy Giuliani being 
sued individually.
One pundit said FOX News’ parent corporation has $4 billion cash on hand. 
So it’s a ways from being forced into bankruptcy or being forced out of 
business. But I don’t think that’s true or OAN and NewsMax. Or Rudy 
Guiliani.
And Smartmatic gets to take whacks at everyone.
