Former Chief Curator & VP at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, previously VP & Director of the TV Academy’s Archive of American Television. Not a “Karen.”

Exactly! RIP Catherine O'Hara. What a loss.

[National Comedy Center @NtlComedyCenter]

“Catherine O’Hara was one of the rare performers who could disappear completely into a character and somehow make that character unforgettable. She shaped what comedy acting could be – blending precision, humanity and originality in a way that felt effortless but was anything but. Her work will continue to inspire generations of performers and audiences.” – National Comedy Center Executive Director Journey Gunderson #CatherineOHara

My book’s coming soon! From Bowie calling me a ‘funny little arsehole’ to dressing Freddie like a giant Mediterranean prawn, and the real story inside The Cure’s ‘Close to Me’ wardrobe - plus many more behind-the-scenes tales.

Is there anything more pop culture savvy than this???

37 years ago tonight, Pee-Wee'e Playhouse Christmas Special premiered on CBS.

This show became an instant holiday classic with perhaps the most random guest stars ever to assemble in one place.

24 years ago I interviewed Rob Reiner: "Every day of my life, somebody will say, 'hey Meathead.' No matter what I do with my life, I could win the Nobel Prize, it wlll say 'Meathead wins Nobel.' Time & talent proved him wrong. What a loss. https://t.co/DBqhnZmE7U

A beautiful release by @OBEYGIANT to support wildfire relief....

52 years ago today, School House Rock made its debut on ABC.

Have you ever wondered who the voice was behind your favorite School House Rock songs?

Respect must be paid: in 1987, Dawn Anderson founded _Backlash_, the free Seattle music paper. Dawn wrote the first feature stories about virtually every key Seattle band and, perhaps to her chagrin, helped launch the Great Seattle Alt-Rock Explosion. She passed away yesterday.
