Re: [TV orNotTV] "Pimp My Ride" making a comeback

[Tom Wolper]

I assume insurance premiums also go sky high when a car gets expensive
modifications like that. The car owners probably get rid of them as quickly
as possible.

Re: [TV orNotTV] "Pimp My Ride" making a comeback

[Kevin M.]

One of the car-centric YouTube channels I watch from time to time found one
of the vehicles that had been “pimped” by MTV back in the day. While they
did get it running again, pimping (or any sort of extensive customization)
makes long-term maintenance on a vehicle complicated and repairs
prohibitively expensive. But it did look better pimped, so I suppose if
that all that matters…

[TV orNotTV] Re: Rob Marciano sacked from ABC: reports

['Bob Jersey' via TVorNotTV]

Daily Beast (watch for paywall?): When colleague Ginger Zee -- she and 
Marciano reportedly "clashed" for years -- caught wind of his "heated 
screaming match" with GMA staffers, she went to management, which gave them 
enough reason to kick him out...

Puck's Dylan Byers X'ed that "multiple staffers had made complaints" about 
the GMA weatherperson's behavior, and that he was "temporarily barred" from 
the Times Square studio...

[TV orNotTV] NoTV: Here We Go Again: GOP House Members Calling NPR CEO on Alleged Bias

[Mark Jeffries]

Katherine Maher, new CEO of the public radio network (and dear God, please, 
no relation to Bill), has been called in by the House Energy and Commerce 
Committee to meet them on Wednesday regarding alleged "bias" in the news 
department, in the hopes that they can finally take away the 
relatively-paltry federal funding:

https://deadline.com/2024/05/npr-ceo-house-republicans-investigation-1235901572/

The current furor stems from an article in Bari Weiss' rightwing Free Press 
by a now-fired NPR editor claiming that most employees are Democrats.  
Considering how often the net has been accused of both-sidesism and 
presuming that the far-left supporters of Hamas firmly believe that the net 
is in the tank with Biden and is pro-Israel regarding Gaza, it is rather 
amusing, but if you -know-who becomes president... (Not to mention if all 
the right hears on NPR is "Pop Culture Happy Hour.")

[TV orNotTV] Did Fallon Cheat at 'Password?' No

[Mark Jeffries]

There seems to be a furor on social media that on last Tuesday night's 
episode of NBC's reboot of "Password" Jimmy Fallon, co-producer of the 
reboot and regular celebrity guest (since his late-night shows have done 
"Password" as a regular bit), gave an illegal clue by saying "godmother" to 
get his partner to say "godfather." Uh, no (a clip is in the link):

https://www.tvinsider.com/1134040/password-jimmy-fallon-cheated-nbc/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

It has been a rule from the Allen Ludden days that words that start 
similarly are acceptable clues for the password (the 
"grandmother/grandfather" syndrome).  I seem to recall that the home game 
even states as much in what is basically a cheat sheet for acceptable 
clues. And while I'm at it, doing voices on the clues has always been 
acceptable, like Fallon doing "family" in a Brando-ish voice as a clue. 
What's illegal and has always been is using gestures--and Keke Palmer 
caught Fallon in time when he was about to do Mafia boss gestures.  As much 
as we all hate Fallon, he was doing nothing that Dr. Reason A. Goodwin 
would have buzzed him on back in the day.
