The person giving me my COVID vaccine said, “Nice Golden Girls tattoo. Which girl should get the shot?” I told her, “Rose! We must protect Betty White!” And that, ladies and gentlemen, will be how I remember this pandemic. Wear a mask and get vaccinated when it’s your turn.

We live in an age where critics will say anything for engagement. So before people start chiming in about HBO’s The Comeback, let me just say: It’s perfect. Lisa Kudrow is perfect, the premise is perfect, it’s just… perfect. Kudrow proves she’s the legend we’ve always known she was. Read more at @Newsweek. https://t.co/jvAsVgzGWu
