The deal was supposedly made before the Sussexes made their announcement. Meghan Markle Signs Voiceover Deal With Disney It's a charity deal to benefit Elephants Without Borders. Details on the project itself are as of yet unspecified.

@scrb There is now a separate, dedicated forum for The New Pope. Here's the direct link: https://forums.primetimer.com/forum/4585-the-new-pope/

SAG-AFTRA Headquarters Evacuated Again After New Threat From the article: "The SAG-AFTRA offices in Los Angeles and New York have received an all-clear after a bomb threat was called in for the second time in three days. The headquarters in both Los Angeles and New York were also evacuated on Tuesday due to a seemingly similar phone threat. The threats come 10 days before the annual SAG Awards ceremony, set for Jan. 19 at the Shrine Auditorium in downtown Los Angeles."

One more that's just too hilarious not to share; the front page of Thursday's New York Post:

This could get interesting if the Duke and Duchess were forced to give up their titles. Sussex Royal: The Making (and Protecting) of a Royal Foundation From the article: "The announcement follows from media speculation that change was afoot for the two royals and their son, the 8-month old Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, and has prompted an array of questions, including whether the Duke and Duchess will keep their formal titles, which is an interesting inquiry given the two trademark applications for registration that were lodged with the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office (“UKIPO”) last year on behalf of their foundation. Originally filed in June 2019, the two trademark applications – one for “Sussex Royal” and the other for “Sussex Royal The Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex” – made headlines last month when they were formally published by the UKIPO, thereby enabling anyone to “make observations on the acceptance or oppose the registration” of the marks, a formality in the registration process in which others, namely, other trademark holders that believe they might be damaged by the registration of a pending trademark application may oppose its registration."

How about to fill in the gap if she's not quite at the level of California and The Tonight Show, she could be a repeat guest on The Merv Griffin Show (a la Totie Fields); New York based (Merv didn't head for California until the early '70s) but still seen nationally. After that, California and TTS.

BBC reporting that no other members of the royal family had advance notice of the decision. 😲 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-51040751 "The BBC understands no other royal - including the Queen or Prince William - was consulted before the statement and Buckingham Palace is "disappointed". Senior royals are understood to be "hurt" by the announcement."

No host for the Oscars again this year. I'm fine with that. I didn't miss a host last go-around.

Big Royal news this afternoon.

Now that the Armorer declared to Mando that "you are as his father" about The Child, is that permission enough for him to remove his helmet when he is alone with BY?

Oh, so it hadn't been mentioned here in The Crown forum. I don't follow the "Everything Else" collection of threads. I think a mention of Prince Philip's hospitalization in this forum is also appropriate.

Can you point me in the direction of a discussion, please. I've looked in the likely threads and don't seem to see anything about it.

Prince Philip, 98, has been admitted to a London hospital supposedly for treatment of a pre-existing condition. Prince Philip admitted to hospital

I know it's been mentioned in various threads on the forum that Brian Tarantina, the actor who plays Jackie, had passed away last month. The cause of his death has been released. I hope he's now at peace. I enjoyed his performance on the show. ‘Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ Actor Brian Tarantina Died of Accidental Overdose

My comments were about Succession and Watchmen. As HBO properties that occupy the prime Sunday @ 9 p.m. slot (the same as GOT and BLL), I'd think each of those is both known and hyped.

The series has been renewed for Season 4. 'Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Renewed for Season 4 at Amazon

Excellent, joint interview in EW with Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook and Kieran Culkin. The ultimate Succession interview: Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, and Kieran Culkin talk to each other about stuff

The nominations on the television side are a joke. Not one nomination for Succession? I'm positively astonished that Jeremy Strong wasn't nominated. Also in that Best Actor-Drama category, I can't fathom how Tobias Menzies' name isn't there, but they managed to squeeze in BOTH Olivia Colman and HBC on the female side. 🙄 Surely ONE of those nominations should belong to Regina King for Watchmen, which also received ZERO nominations. How is that possible? But Big Little Lies managed to snag a couple. S2 of BLL was not good. SMH.

Mary Marsh: It was only a matter of time with you, Josh. That New York sense of humor was just a little... Rev. Al Caldwell: Mary, there's no need to... Mary Marsh: Reverend, please! They think they're so much smarter! They think it's smart talk, but nobody else does. Josh: I'm actually from Connecticut. But that's neither here nor there; the point is, Mary, I... Toby: She meant "Jewish." When she said "New York sense of humor." She was talking about you and me.
