Anoop Desai seems to be having a grand old time with this role.

I didn't realize Anoop had gotten into acting. I remember seeing him outside a Mexican restaurant in Chapel Hill after American Idol...absolutely surrounded by women. He's a cutie. I really like his character. 

The restored Baron! The Hellhound and the Sire! I want them to have their own spinoff. The makeover montage was perfection.

Does Ana have investments in drag queen shows or appearances? It seemed odd how focused she was on that topic. It also sounded as though she was saying that there's some issue with parents who want to take their kids to drag queen shows. Perhaps I misunderstood because I was doing something else at the time, but I thought that the issue with drag queens wasn't that parents could take their kids to these shows, but that the drag queens came to the school as part of a book reading (or some other activity). The difference is that in one case the parents have a choice, and in the other case, there's no choice because the performers are coming to the school.

No, drag queens are not going to schools for book readings. Some local libraries around the country have hosted drag queen storytimes, and parents choose to bring their kids to them. In Ana's case, I believe she's referring to a drag brunch spot in Miami that is being targeted by Ron DeSantis. Again, if parents choose to bring their kids to an all-ages drag show, it's their choice, not the government's. DeSantis is a huge hypocrite regarding parental rights.

Lauren is just as bad as MEgan, without the "my father".......she needs to go away.  Why can't we have Anna.

I had the show on in the background while I worked. I listened to her for about 15 seconds going on about that ridiculous "poll" and had had enough.

I’m glad Mamie was able to find some happiness after everything she went through, but it still unforgivable that she died without getting any kind of real justice. And for the murderers to brazenly print their so-called confession (which was just another excuse to smear Emmet’s character) getting away with it was another insult to injury.

I read that Look magazine article years ago (you can find it online). It's more horrific reading than the episode showed. But I was happily reminded that the Bryant store went out of business and they all went bankrupt because of what they did. 

The series was really well done though.

[Meghan McCain: "Both Sides" Wannabe Tough Chick]

"She’d triggered my postpartum anxiety..."

I thought only libs get triggered. Jr. "wrote" a book about it.

"When other women come back from maternity leave on “The View,” they are welcomed with confetti and baby presents."

That's nice. Most offices just have a baby shower before maternity leave. I've never seen confetti when someone came back.

"Call me naïve, but when I came back to work after having a baby, I expected to be treated with respect." 

Meghan, you're naïve. You sort of have to earn respect to be given it. I don't have kids, so I can appreciate the pain and work that goes with having them, but that doesn't mean your obnoxious ways are instantly forgiven.

She sounds absolutely exhausting to work with. It's nice that's she's for paid maternity and family leave NOW that it's affected her, but her tribe ain't listening.

I don't get that. It may be shitty that her priority is going to a casino, but how's it hypocritical?  She's been clear that stuff like this is her priority for months. She's hypocritical on tons of things, but not this. It's shallow and stupid, but consistent with her other statements. 

Because of this post taking a swipe at VP Harris' tweet about enjoying the long weekend. I'm not sure how she managed to fit in gambling and shots with all that praying she's supposedly doing.

I think Chris going through co-vid himself made the two closer than ever.  And i think CNN saw and milked or tried to milk the connection.  But I haven't seen anything by Chris or Andrew when he's been on that I've been offended by.

Apparently, Meghan was deeply offended by that giant Q-tip because she keeps bringing it up. Maybe it was just one brother dunking on his older brother's looks. I don't know, I'm not a snowflake like Meghan.

Meg can’t understand why Chris Cuomo won’t talk about his brother on air. Because she can’t not talk about her father.

However, I don't remember her saying a word about her father-in-law when he was under investigation for ethics violations. Hmm, is Meg being a tad hypocritical?

And Meg completely changes the conversation because she can’t find words to justify her tribe on this. And FTR, Meg, the pipeline is flowing again. You know, the one that had nothing to do with Biden.  Quit trying to distract and divert from the actual topic.

I'm in Metro Atlanta. I was able to get gas on Tuesday, no problem. But then, I'm not trying to hoard gas in garbage bags.

At this stage, it's more important to buy a car seat to take the little one home.  Most hospitals won't let you leave w/o one.  Or maybe she's planning an at home birth?  Hahahaha

I was born in 1968. My mom laid me on the dashboard of our Buick while she lit up a Lucky Strike. 😄

For some odd reason, Laszlo started to say "I don't give a monkey's ass" and they cut it after "monkey's." They had all kinds of F-bombs in this episode, why cut "ass?"

Not to be an "actually" person, but In English slang, it's just "I don't give a monkey's" and the listener is free to fill in the rest themselves. Like, "I don't give a monkey's left nut..."

And FYI, Matt Berry is a very talented musician who has released several albums. It's hard to describe the genre, but listening to his music makes me feel like I'm attending a Renaissance Faire circa 1969/70 and tripping on acid, while jazz musicians  and beat poets wander by occasionally. That makes sense, right? Not my normal musical tastes, but I love it!

Matt's an amazing musician. He's delved into a few genres, but definitely hovers in the late Sixties/early Seventies. His Opium album is one of my all-time favorites, and I've had it on every device I've owned since it came out. I'd describe Opium as like prog rock/space age lounge music with a little William Shatner.

BTW, since I missed the telecast today, I hope at least one of you bought two of each item from  'View Your Deal' to send to me one,  so I can enjoy over-priced crap from today's show, too ! 😄

Hey guys! Haven't watched the show or commented in a long time. Working from home, I have it on in the background sometimes. 

I actually work for one of the companies featured on the show last week (beauty products). We are not tiny, but are considered a small business by industry standards. I think our prices are good, and we make high-quality products. Our warehouse is also doing AMAZING getting orders out on time. Just my two cents. A lot of the items on the morning shows are crap and overpriced (I've bought them). It's hit or miss. But I can vouch for the supporting small businesses claim.

I wish BUZZR would show more "What's My Line" and "I've Got A Secret."  Here's Bennett Cerf honoring librarians (starts at 2:07).  Where would a prime time show today even mention librarians?  You don't get this sort of wit and intelligence on TV anymore.

I just found this forum, and while I enjoy the old Match Games and TattleTale from the '70s, I've really grown fond of the What's My Line, I've Got a Secret and To Tell the Truth episodes from the 1960s. They're before my time, but I like the fashions some of the guests and panelists wear. 

That said, Buzzr seems to have removed them from the schedule for July, which is sad. Especially weekday mornings, I get up at 5am and like to put on my makeup while watching them. So much nicer than having to watch the news. 😞

That episode has so many gems, but Lazlo's lines are my favorites. 

Kristen Schaal's vamp are my second favorite. "We sent ravens...WE SENT 500 RAVENS!"

I doubt they are friends.  Meghan thinks she is friends with every famous member of her tribe.

Hm, it seems she shows more compassion for her very comfortable frenemy than she does for children separated from their parents living in unsanitary conditions...That's our Meghan!

Right, Dana Loesch is "brave". Maybe Meg is starting to worry that she someday might be in the same position for her own "bravery" (we can only hope).
