  • The Next Great Late Night Show

    The Jimmy Kimmel show is back on the air!  Does that sound like there is a but at the end of that sentence?  Well there is.  Jimmy’s ratings are in the toilet.  While ABC might have forgiven him, it seems as if a whole lot of other people haven’t.  If he’s canned again well,  ABC will have to fill the slot withe something.  So here are some great ideas from our staff.

    1.  ‘Do You Want To Be A Billionaire?  An old retired CEO mentors a small group young men and women through the maze that is the Global Economy.  Then he sends them on their pathway to billionaire’s Ville, Where they might live next door to Elon Musk .  The old CEO plays both con man and Psychiatrist, as he counsels, advises and most of all gives encouragement to these young Lions.  We’re going to call this show ‘Don’t Worry, I got fired too. 

    2.  ‘I’ll Sue You’.  Celebrities, Politician and other assorted Pezzonovante square off in court over some slight.  Real or imagined.  It will be like Judge Judy with a few alterations.  One of which will be the payout is not confined to 10,000 dollars.  And unlike The Judge Judy Show, you, not Judge Judy, will decide.  Both litigants lay out their case and then just like Dancing With The Stars, you, the audience will weigh in.  You decide who wins and how much, regardless of what the litigants are asking.  And yes sports fans there are no limits.  This will be a sister show to ‘Don’t Worry, I Got Fired Too!’  The litigants here might become Billionaires.

    3.  ‘What Causes Autism’.  Doctors, Researchers, Moms and other assorted people who know nothing, give their opinions every week.  Just like in real life.  And, just like other Realty shows, once the season comes to a close, there will be final confrontations, cliffhangers and yes, disappointments.

    CBS has cancelled the Colbert Show!  There are all kinds of conspiracy theories surrounding this and there is much gnashing of teeth in certain quarters.  But CBS says The Colbert Show is losing 40 million dollars a year!  OMG!  And that is why they are cancelling the show.  

    And people in certain quarters, who are gnashing their teeth, are bemoaning this cancellation as it just might be a harbinger of things to come for the other late night talk shows.  The old slippery slop thing.  With good reason too, as Colbert ironically, is the highest rated of the broadcast, late night, talk shows.  So you can imagine how much the other shows are losing.  Imagine that!  Corporations not wanting to lose 40 million a year?  “Oh, the humanity!”*

    We have a sneaky suspicion that the names of the Late Night TV show hosts will be a category on Jeopardy a decade from now and none of the contestants will get anything in that category right.  Nobody will remember or care.

    And they are picking on Harry and Meghan again.  No, not ‘South Park’.  Now it’s ‘Family Guy’, another animated series.  Why?  Meghan and Harry are not doing anything.  And, we sort of get the Royal Family back in Great Britain.  They represent the country, the culture.  They serve a purpose.  But Meghan and Harry?  What do they do?  They are sort of like the lilies of the field.  “They toil not, neither do they spin”**.  Well maybe not quite the lilies of the field but you get the picture.  They’re not doing much.

    Seth MacFarlane is the guy who runs ‘Family Guy’ and we sort of get it, as Harry and Meghan were almost somebody, but now?

    And Hunter Biden went on a F bomb fueled rant on X, where he bemoaned the illegal immigrants being deported to El Salvador.  He says if he’s elected President, he’ll demand they are all are brought back.  We didn’t know he was running.  Maybe that should have been the headline instead of all the F bombs.  But if El Salvador refuses to send back the illegal immigrants, he’ll invade El Salvador to get them back.  That’s when he’s President of course.

    But maybe what he’s really upset about is no one buys his paintings anymore.  And with his father’s pardon in hand, no one even investigates him anymore.  No one even talks about his Laptop anymore.  He’s a nobody.
