I hadn’t seen this posted, but my God.

The tables have really turned. Superstore is now the breakout for the night, then TGP, with W&G falling behind.

Matt Bomer was on tonight as Will’s love interest. Comedy is not his strong point. And, like David Schwimmer, he’s playing a completely unlikable @sshole. Not a great episode.

Makes sense. Of all the guest hosts, she has the easiest rapport with the other women. And it’s a nice fallback if ABC decides to only do one cycle of DWTS a year.

Speaking of Zaslow, I loved the shot of him at the end of the credits. It felt wrong when Zimmer was added in at the end (and I’m not a Reva hater). Vince Williams’s shot with the sax was also a favorite.

Haha! I used to be so disappointed on the days they didn’t show the cast photos in the closing credits. Like crestfallen.

Wertheim has finally addressed the issue in his Mailbag column, and it’s BS all the way. He even cites the recent death of Justin’s father as a reason for his silence. https://www.si.com/tennis/2018/12/05/tennis-mailbag-simona-halep-darren-cahill-justin-gimelstob

I know a lot of people wanted Constance Towers as Alex, but as great as she is, I can’t see it. Agreed that they should have let Alexandra go and written in a new grande dame.

Yes. Here’s a piece on their wedding from earlier this year: https://www.thecut.com/2018/04/paul-stewart-and-michael-cooks-charming-catskills-wedding.html An interesting critique on Michael B. Jordan’s acting and use of physicality when playing a role:

Speaking of Isner:

🤮

I caught today’s Hot Topics, and the tension on that set is THICK. Meghan is being really quiet and muttering under her breath and got into a very passive-aggressive exchange with Whoopi before the first ad break. It’s better soap opera than anything the four daytime dramas are putting out. I think we’ll see someone storm off stage or quit before this season’s out.

Wasn’t Hugh referring to this?
