Did they really talk over Patti Labelle and then cut away from her?

I am hearing from my social media TL that people were actually appreciative of the fact that, instead of having people fly from across the country, they get to see local performers that they wouldn't normally see. Until today, some people had no idea what a Mermaid Parade existed or what it's about, lol.

I saw someone saying Bebe Roxha looked like Manos of Manos Hands of Fate.

Never really watched the show, or cared for Sorkin, but the seething, obsessive hatred many fauxgressives have it makes me happy it went well.

The above most recent video at the link has a lot more of the convo with Smith and Hubert. A lot of what he says about his compulsive need to perform and make people laugh in spite of when it was appropriate or necessary is what always has rubbed me wrong about him even when I liked some of his earlier work. I liked him owning that and explaining where it comes from.

Daphne Maxwell-Reid was never at her best on FP bc the Vivian role was neutered with the recast, but she is a very solid actress. Watching her greet Hubert with "welcome home" was all class.

It's up on YouTube:

Watch it fast, folks!

So sad . I love game shows just as much as daytime dramas. Jeopardy was a big part of my childhood/teen years.

Le sigh,

I loved Jeopardy as a kid. 

I'm crying I screamed and now I'm crying.  

Has to do with the angel guy and Jensen Ackles. I can't even describe it so you best look it up. I watched the scene and was embarrassed for all involved. It was simultaneously homophobic and wildly tone deaf.

Ah. I looked it up. Yeah. Some vocal fans wanted "canon Destiel." It's very Supernatural and very Jensen (who was NEVER comfortable with the idea of a queer Dean even though the character was heavily coded as bisexual) to play that type of game. Sad. Not surprising.

Thanks for the reminder!

We started watching the show recently as well. I cannot fully get the hype, though. If you are refering to Birgitte and her husband I'm 100% behind your statement. The actors are AMAZING and the spotlight on the family life of a Nation's leader in the 2000s is exquisite. The episodic storyline are mostly meh; the only episode that truly stood out for me was the one about female quotas in corporations.

I love them all so far tbh

I loved Borgen too. It's been a while since I watched it, and it kind of made me want to Denmark for a moment there. The actress playing Birgitte is *chef's kiss* in the role. All of them are good, in fact.

I definitely couldn't believe it either. Thrilled it's going to happen though. 

Holy crap! She made peace with him?

Aha, this explains the group of pigs I saw fly past my window yesterday!  

Love her.

I'd heard the stories about her being taken advantage of and abused but Bell seemed to be the one trying to control the narrative and blaming her son. This is so awful. 

Oh that's so sad. He was great as Barnabas. 

Wow! I loved his take on Barnabas. (Loved the '91 series overall; sad the Persian Gulf War basically killed it.)  May he RIP!

Damn.
