John Slattery, 63, moved to an apartment on Bank Street in the West Village after marrying the actress Talia Balsam in 1998. At the time, he had established himself as a character actor.

"It's fabulous," Sharon Osbourne says of Doggy Pawsbourne. "He's wearing a cross, he's got the glasses on. It's just the best. And I just want to thank them."

Let's all go to the movies! Culhane's Carlson said. Huh? Really? Yes, why don't we grab some popcorn and watch American culture collapse? What are we doing? What's going on? One by one, Carlson took on the Best Picture nominees trashing them as leftist woke America's favorite fare.

You've got to show [people] government can work. Shapiro made a straightforward but understandable case, arguing that not solving problems can lead to an increase in cynicism. He mentioned the evolution of the permitting system in Pennsylvania under his tenure as governor as one example of demonstrating governmental effectiveness and addressing constituent concerns through tangible policy improvements.

The discoverability problem is that the medium still hasn't figured out a reliable, easily reproducible way to capture and hold a listener's attention. It's easier to stumble upon video curated and served via algorithm than it is to click several buttons in a dedicated app in order to listen to a piece of audio.

Trump said yesterday that the war could end very soon, which would be encouraging, had he not also told us he'd end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. He's going to make a huge mess and walk away like it's the new toilet in the Lincoln bathroom.

The president is maybe sort of threatening/teasing that he might put boots on the ground in Iran? But Republicans can't seem to agree on whether they support that idea, or for how long, or why. The confusion comes from the top: Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary who made a big deal about turning the defense department into the department of war and refocusing on the core mission: war fighting.

So, I was very pleased that Oscars host Conan O'Brien didn't follow up last year's "wasting time" musical sequence with an equally useless bit to open the 98th Academy Awards on Sunday night. Instead, the 76-year-old stuck to his strengths as one of the funniest comedians alive.

Steve Martin Writes the Written Word is an aptly-named collection and excellent introduction to the comedian's best writings, including some new material. In another piece, he makes the list of 100 greatest books he read laugh out loud funny with fake titles such as "Omelet: Olga - Mnemonic Devices for Remembering Waitress' Names" and "Marijuana! Totally Harmless (can't remember author)."

From The Free Press, this is Honestly,' and I'm Bari Weiss, Dillon said as he pretended to host Weiss's Honestly podcast. Dillon then made savage fun of Weiss's politics. We started this podcast nine years ago because a white woman in Minnesota served a chicken quesadilla to a man and was immediately accused of cultural appropriation, Dillon said. That man's name was George Floyd.

This is not acceptable. Mocking a disability is never acceptable. It would not be tolerated for any other condition, and it should not be tolerated by people with Tourette's.

"These people who control every branch of government are so triggered by someone singing in Spanish for 20 minutes, they need to create their own safe space alternative halftime show, where Trad Bunny over here is singing songs about how he can't even enjoy sitting in a truck and drinking beer because he knows that somewhere out there, there's a trans person."

Davidson's debut episode, featuring Machine Gun Kelly, is assembled from the rough, requisite symbols of podcasting: host and guest sunk into plush, beat-up chairs vaguely facing each other, chatting and smoking cigarettes in a space that's presented as Davidson's garage, Benjamin Moore paint tubs doubling as an ashtray stand. Good pals, their conversation is loose and circuitous; their discussion drifts from adventures while getting high, stints in rehab, and - because this is the first episode - what a podcast even is.

Nick, 32, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the fatal stabbings of his father, director Rob Reiner, and mother, producer Michele Singer Reiner, who were found dead at their home on Dec. 14. The night prior, the couple who also shared son Jake, 34, and daughter Romy, 28 attended O'Brien's holiday party with Nick, who a source previously told People was freaking everyone out [and] acting crazy.

"being forced to play a game that has no rules."

Readers who saw my previous post will recall its focus on a recurring pattern of laughter and humor found during my deep dive into the humor of the Seinfeld series. I wondered why we tend to laugh at various things going into our bodies and tried to explain why we might be so inclined using the Mutual Vulnerability Theory of Laughter.

He had already picked on me several times for laughing too loud, too readily (that wasn't even a joke, he chastised me at one point). I was trying hard to suppress my laughter to hold it in, to hold it back, to not fully express the joy I was feeling. I was being somewhat successful. And then I wasn't. Everyone in the audience was laughing but I was laughing too much.

The video podcast will release episodes weekly, beginning January 30 at 12:01 a.m. PT. Each episode will feature a "candid, no-holds-barred" conversation between Davidson and a pal that takes place in his garage, per Netflix. "Netflix was the home of one of my first stand-up specials," Davidson said in a statement, "so it felt right to bring the podcast there, too. It's me and my friends talking about anything and everything. It's going to be a great time."
