Writer/Producer Larry Sanders, Rescue Me, Analyze This, Outsiders. Teeth as big as all the Kennedys combined.

@mikeeverly9 @EllieJaneTaylor I wish I had an answer for you, Mike, but FX never gave me a clear reason why the show didn’t move forward. I was told at one point that “everyone liked it, but no one loved it.” A real blow for me.
And you’re right: Ellie was incredible!

NYRABets is dead two hours before the Derby. Well done.

The next time a Republican says the GOP is the party of law and order, remind them of their reaction to the Trump indictment.

@thesurfreport Princess, I’ve missed this by a few days, but drive a few miles and have the chicken pot pie at The Grill on the Alley in Beverly Hills. You can thank me later!

@yochriskenny If we’re talking about Sanders, the first episode written was titled “Hey Now” by Garry and series co-creator Dennis Klein. As happens with many series, pilot episodes end up buried later in the first season because the more episodes you do, the more you learn.

@Buttwasted @denisleary I’d forgotten about this. Thanks for reminding me!

@VDOOZER If we saw each other at the gym this morning and I didn’t say hello, I’m saying it now, Bill.
If it wasn’t you - well - hello, Bill.

I thought for sure I’d wake up to see a picture of Rock/Smith at some Oscar party, arms around each other and all smiles, because Smith’s team DESPERATELY wanted/needed that picture.
The fact that it could not be orchestrated says a lot.

So you win the biggest award possible in your profession, and then whenever you look at it for years to come, you think, “Oh, yeah, that was the night I showed a world audience who I really was.”

Seems oddly fitting that I’m shooting in Toronto today, hometown to my neighbor, influence and workmate, the late, great Ivan Reitman.

I shared a stand-up stage with Louie Anderson in Minneapolis 40 years ago (I was a dilettante and he was already a consummate pro). In all the 40 years that have passed, I never, never saw any person work an audience as well or easily as that man did.

Succession.

After two long years, finally something to watch.

The Covid-19 case rate in Florida — 90 per 100,000 — is among the worst in the world. Only Louisiana and Botswana are worse. Let that sink in.

Hard to imagine a Republican having issues with telling the truth.

@GlennRubenstein @JuddApatow @ToddHolland3 Probably more like swearing at it after drinking. As in, “Damn, that was goddamned good!”

@thetzechun Exactly. It's not like they call them "baby telephone linemen."
