Matt Belloni at Puck News last night had two items on late night shows: 1. Litigation is on the horizon between Hassan Minhaj, who believes he had an enforceable oral contract to take over TDS prior to the Strike that CC breached after the New Yorker story was published on 9/15, and CC, which says that while they were close to a deal, they were still completing their due diligence and had not closed a deal, oral or otherwise. Or maybe cool heads will prevail and they settle on a payoff. I have not followed the details of the Minhaj situation, but from afar do not understand the fuss; has any other comic gotten in trouble because elements in the set up for their punchlines were not literally true? Are we meant to believe there really was a family vaudeville act called The Aristocrats who performed disgusting sexual and scatalogical acts on each other?
2. @Midnight host options down to three: Ricky Velez, X Mayo, Taylor Thompson. Belloni did not note that Velez was on the at home Covid Colbert show this week, and maybe that bit about Velez taking over the hosting of that episode with Pete Davidson was meant to signal that he would soon be hosting the show following Colbert. For me it was painfully unfunny, and more of a reason to go with one of the other two candidates.
