What A Dummy? You Bet. And Not Just Him.
Let me be crystal clear; I don’t travel in the same circles as Casey Wasserman does. For one, my pop-pop ran a neighborhood pharmacy, not a legendary talent agency that eventually wound up controlling Universal Studios. For another, my skill sets are anything but in demand in the sector of the inustry where his own
Sure, NOW You’re Checking On Me.
Yes, I read the NEW YORK/CALIFORNIA POST, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Have been doing so since practically the moment I could read on my own, even long before Rupert Murdoch and family got their grubby little claws on it. I love their sports coverage and I’m fascinated by how they use screaming
Can YOU Handle Temu TV?
I’m kicking myself once again for falling prey to the temptation of a cheap quick fix via social media courtesy of Temu, the Chinese answer to Amazon that I made the mistake of downloading a while ago and somehow continue to forget to delete. For those of you who have it, you’ve probably noted that

There’s Really Only One Race You Should Be Worried About, Nero.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’re probably already aware of the latest clickbaitable meme that has practically everyone in at least my social media feeds up in arms–yeah, the one that puts THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT into perhaps the most unfortunate spotlight since THE TRACEY ULLMAN SHOW used it as fodder for a

It’s once again time for an Olympiad, and it’s about as welcomed as any in recent memory. For one, it’s taking place in Italy once again
Who Are You Gonna Blame For These Cancellations?
Another NATPE has come and gone, perhaps the least newsworthy one I can recall, and I’ve been around for a while. Nary a single significant project for fall 2026 was announced despite the reality that there’s an awful lot of real estate that’s now in flux. We’ve been reminded of this on a nightly basis
Is Disney Being Too Piggish About This?
You gotta hand it to Disney when it comes to tenacity about brands. As newly anointed incoming CEO Josh D’Amaro articulated yesterday in a coronation interview conducted by one of ABC”s few current category leaders, WORLD NEWS TONIGHT’s David Muir, a central component of the company’s strategy with its most zealotic fans is providing the
When You Miss The Chance To Say Hi, You’d Better Say Goodbye
You’ll forgive me if I’m a little shorter than usual today, which given my stature is all the more significant. I’ll be spending a few hours this afternoon at Forest Lawn attending a funeral of someone I haven’t seen in more than 35 years and barely knew in the first place. And I wouldn’t miss
