Re: [TV orNotTV] “Ellen” calls it quits

She has made a boatload of money off of the show. With the sharp drop in viewers, she's probably looking at making much less money. Why stick around? Plus, there's examples of people like Johnny Carson and probably Letterman hanging around too long. Judge Judy is the 800-pound gorilla of

Re: [TV orNotTV] “Ellen” calls it quits

I recall working on the (thankfully) short lived DreamMaker talk show hosted by Richard Simmons. For those who (mercifully) missed it, each episode Simmons would have on a guest who would tell his/her sob story about some event which caused their entire life to come crashing down, after which

Re: [TV orNotTV] “Ellen” calls it quits

The most recent syndicated ratings show her in a four-way tie for third place among talk shows with Maury, Wendy Williams and Kelly Clarkson--Clarkson's ratings are steadily getting higher than last season (although she and Ellen are on the same station in a lot of markets). If they say her

I think celebs and publicists have resented having to dance to the corrupt and demeaning tune of the HFPA for many years, but felt boxed in by real or perceived value of nominations and wins. With the mood of the culture this year, and renewed examples of racist views and structure, celebs saw the

Re: [TV orNotTV] “Ellen” calls it quits

Having not watched this show, I don't know how to interpret her state reason for discontinuing “the show is no longer a creative challenge.” Is this just a dodge to allow her to deny it is because her “Be Nice” cover was blown, or is she saying she has been running on automatic? She lost 1.1

Dammit, Steve. I clicked on the link hoping there was video. There was no video. Dammit. On Wed, May 12, 2021 at 8:12 AM Steve Timko wrote: > https://uproxx.com/viral/tomi-lahren-nazi-barbie-eggs/ > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "TVorNotTV"

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Norman Lloyd Dies: ‘St. Elsewhere’ Actor Who Worked With Welles, Hitchcock & Chaplin Was 106

TCM's Ben Mankiewicz interviewed Lloyd in 2015. I'm sure TCM will soon replay it, probably accompanied by a couple of his movies. I highly recommend it. He's a great storyteller who was involved with so many interesting people and projects. Here's the intro and first question:

[TV orNotTV] Re: Norman Lloyd Dies: ‘St. Elsewhere’ Actor Who Worked With Welles, Hitchcock & Chaplin Was 106

In 1986, when I went back to college after five-year hiatus, I was cast in a production of Chekhov's "The Sea Gull." For a lot of reasons (chiefly that it was a very good production), we made it to the regionals of the American College Theatre Festival, which that year were held at UCLA. We
