Don Hastings (after a very clunky intro from the host) is now on too. I'm glad he could do this.

I don't even know how much Eileen is interested in more detailed interviews - this feels more like her just wanting to relive some fun old times, which is alright with me. There had been years of fan worry about her - a decade. I hope this might lead to more for Eileen and if it takes a place she felt comfortable with I can go along with it.

Just another reminder of how stupid most coddled celebrity athletes are (his girlfriend, a dime a dozen actress who starred in a flop Hunger Games-esque series I believe, eats clay because a taxi driver told her so):

I don't know if anyone would argue it was a writing choice as we know the circumstances of this recast.

I think that uploader spliced two episodes together.

Wasn't it just a year ago he was going on about the evils of Jews in the industry? Time flies...

The Debra Wilson sketches are in many cases wonderful, and extremely funny. Most sketch shows from Oprah's heyday barely even had black women in the role, and the one that did I hesitate to upload, even though I think it's entertaining, because it's mostly just fat jokes (it's the one Kim Wayans did on In Living Color). SNL had Oprah parodies about a dozen times, but this is the only one I would say really works (it's less about her than her banshee audience): I should also mention the infamous confrontation between James Frey and Oprah. It was queasily compelling, because you knew how much she was seething at not only his lies, but also the damage he had done to her sprawling empire.

Oprah recording her own theme song. The shows she broadcast from Texas while she was being sued by the beef industry - and her running around, victorious. The blooper reel of Oprah and various women marching down the street, ready to throw undergarments into a trash can fire, chanting and holding placards, until Oprah abruptly stopped and said, basically, "What in the hell are we doing?"

I think another version of that was uploaded about 7 years ago, although this one may be better quality, I don't know.

I don't understand how someone who was hyped as the epitome of glamour looks so completely wretched in how she styles herself and mugs so grotesquely. She looks like a parasite wearing a Sally Kirkland skinsuit.

One of the brain dead money-grubbers at CNN had a piece on the EVULS OF INFLATION, which misled viewers about the amount of money a family was making, did not ell them that the father is a big Republican, lied about the price of milk, etc. As always with the Beltway, the boo hoo babies can't take a second of criticism. The corporate media is our main enemy in this country, and has been for many years.

I can't find the link now, but Nia Long did a video on her five favorite roles. I was hoping she'd pick Kat, but I guess I can't be surprised she didn't, especially with her lack of use by the end.

They would, but likely not enough to make the show care. He has been useless to GH for 15 years or more. He would likely just go do a podcast with a former Bernie Sanders devotee where they talk about how you should shove horse paste up your ass, or whatever.

I can't disagree, but sadly the show has never cared about getting rid of the worst dead weight. If Burton loses his job because of a vaccine mandate, he will become a martyr and a god to the deeply conservative viewer base.

If Burton leaves he will be back. Ingo probably is done for good if he goes. No big loss...

A part of me thinks if he was, he wouldn't be grinding quite so much at his age, but I do think being fired from GH for this reason would be better for him financially than staying on the show. He's perfect for Fox News, leather face and all.

He also likely makes a lot of $$$ in club dates and on podcasts listened to by people who will see him as a martyr for this. And, as you said, he knows he will be asked back sooner rather than later anyway. Once upon a time, a producer like Gloria Monty would have just said no way, GTFO, but that isn't what Frank or ABC are like anymore. In the long run, he will likely be rewarded for his selfishness, as he has been many times before.

I have heard the paid leave act is not good (the bill itself, I mean), but at this point anything may be better than nothing. I'm more curious as to whether any of this will finally cause Manchin, Sinema, and their cowardly friends in the Senate to wake up.

@Juliajms Thank you. Same to you. That CNN report sounds awful. This account will also give you many results from different state-by-state elections. https://twitter.com/Taniel/status/1455757339169067008 The dead end left has already zeroed in on India Walton's loss in the Buffalo mayoral race to the incumbent she had beaten in a primary (he went the write-in route), claiming Democrats cared more about beating her than Republicans. Failures and grifters like Nina Turner have also chimed in. They won't have much to say about it, but Walton made some serious errors:

I will always associate JJ's Lucky with the scenes where he berated Laura over her rape...and the scene where he told Liz how pure their love was when he found her bleeding in the snow from a rape. He was the face of so much of Guza's sickness.
