Showbiz Show 6/30/17

This week on the showbiz segment of my show, Max and I reviewed "Despicable Me 3," "The Hero," and "The House," plus other movie/showbiz news. Listen to our conversation here.

Picture Of The Day

I was never impressed by Piers Morgan. Whether he was judging a talent show or hosting his CNN interview show a few years ago, he always came off as a pompous ass in an empty suit. He's back in England now, co-hosting "Good Morning Britain" on ITV, and still retains...

What’s What in “Silicon Valley”

What’s What in “Silicon Valley”

I'm a fan of the HBO series "Silicon Valley," which wrapped up its fourth season Sunday night. I am a little worried that the show is becoming like "Entourage," in that its heroes are continually saved from their own worst instincts and professional errors by outside...

Gonging “The Gong Show”

Best Thing I’ve Read Today

I'm not the only one writing about NBC's Megyn Kelly problem (if you missed my piece earlier this week, read it here). Here's Variety's Sonia Saraiya: Kelly’s cachet is that she is a thoughtful conservative woman — a kind of unicorn. Her demeanor carries with it a lot...

The Kelly File

Despite a lot of hype, Megyn Kelly's interview with Alex Jones drew only 3.5 million viewers Sunday night. That's less than a rerun of "America's Funniest Home Videos," which I didn't even know was still on the air (how many videos can there be of a father being hit...
