    source, please. from what i’ve read, a number of cast members have pulled out because of concerns (the man does have a brand new baby), but haven’t seen any reports naming who tested positive. also read that tina fey may sub for weekend update.

    Yes, I posted a link to the source hours ago. From the Daily Mail, and it specifically mentions Colin Jost and Lorne Michaels have tested positive. Then it says “two other cast members.” But Colin is positive according to the article link I posted previously, if you scroll up.

    thanks, i missed that. though none of the online sources i saw mentioned who had tested positie.

    "Hmmm...we COULD have an interesting discussion where there is no true right or wrong...or we'll pull something out of our ass to avoid the discussion? Let's do that one!"

    yup! that pretty much sums up this show — an on-going exercise in futility and frustration…

    LSSC: Season Seven Episode Talk

    in Late Show With Stephen Colbert

    little late here, as well. back in the day, the late night format was different: guests weren’t their simply to plug their latest project, so they stuck around. when the next guest came out, the first one simply moved over to make room. there was conversation between the guests as well as the host (talking about johnny carson, here).

    i really missed those days and was so hoping that billy porter could have stayed and chatted with annaleigh ashford since both were in ‘kinky boots.’ alas…

    S12.E02: Times Like These

    I have a theory.

    For the duration, the premise of the show is that the Reagan's are right. in any conflict, any question of law, the Reagans will be right. Certainly time may temper the punishment dealt out (Rachel Whitley for example) but that doesn't mean a Reagan was wrong, just harsh. Later reflection is just an opportunity for them to be more right.

    The writers are having a hard time finding new ways for the Reagans to be right. It's 12 seasons, and I don't blame them for the bucket of rightfulness getting near the bottom.

    So if they can't find ways for the Reagans to be right, I think that they have turned to finding ways for others to be more wrong. So without the Reagans being right, they *look* that way when cast in the light of others being so very wrong.

     

    I think this is the reason for the Mayor and the Captain (and yes Eddie) being shown as doing really inexplicable, dumb and wrong actions with regard to the Reagans so that the Reagans continue to  be righter than right, without having to be right.

     

    right? right.

    exactly right!

    anyone who disagrees with the reagans must be portrayed with not a scintilla of validity to their point of view. and while it may have escalated in recent years, imho, it’s been there since season one.

    Yes, IMO I think it did, since Frank is the PC and has to make tough decisions, but he always follows the law. Danny doesn't care about the law, as long as he gets the results he wants. It's been said he has been disciplined for it several times, and he has shown himself doing that many more times, and also compelling others to go outside the law too, to get the results he wants.

    but of course he never says he is wrong, or means it if he does. He thinks he knows more and better than everyone else in the world

    how many times has frank ever said that he was wrong and mean it? and when has frank not behaved as though he thinks he knows more and better than anyone else in the world?

    I haven't finished watching yet, but I'm gonna drop this here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0629704/

    as soon as they mentioned the baby had been poisoned with antifreeze, i thought of this episode. couldn’t remember if it was svu or the mothership.

    Observation #4: Once again the doctors do this creepy voyeuristic thing where they hang around for no reason at all to listen to a private conversation. The patient was in no immediate danger, there was no reason for them not to leave when it became clear the mother and daughter were going to have an intimate and emotional discussion. We the viewers did not need them hovering there in order to appreciate the drama. There wasn't even a story reason for it, it's not like their characters learned something from it. God that drives me crazy every time it happens.

    i was yelling ‘you two can leave now.’

    I also can't stand Witten so if this is how they get rid of her, I'm fine with it even thou I think the reason she got suspended is total BS.

    You might get your wish. I'm expecting this storyline to end in suicide. The shot of her other gun (supposedly her father's), the emphasis on how difficult it is right now to be a police officer, her convincingly deflecting Eddie's concern, and the Captain being a total dick to her set this up imo

    yeah, my first thought was ‘chekhov's gun.’ so while i was surprised that it wasn’t used by the time the show ended, i expect magnumfangirl will ultimately be proved right — it just may take a couple of episodes to get there.

    The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

    He knows this is the only Emmy his show will get as long as long as John Oliver's show is on.

    sadly true — and he explained why. news item comes in @ 5:15, tape begins @ 5:30. show rewritten in 15 minutes. the late show will never have the luxury of time that last week tonight does. it’s why the daytime soaps don’t compete against primetime.

    Oliver was predictable but not undeseved.

    i love last week tonight, however really doesn’t feel like a fair comparison. oliver does 30 shows a year, one topic a week. colbert does what, 200 a year?, with the news of the day often changing minutes before taping. peabodys are nice, but it would also be nice for the late show to be recognized by its peers.
