Dear @switchedonpop: Love the podcast, but I especially like this week's newsletter. Yrs, "Listener John." Modern Humorist lives! Not really! (cc Marya Grandy & @mrdavidbaron) #xmen #wolverine switchedonpop.substack.com/p…

😔 Will try for a more specific post later, but for now just a quick thank you to our hilarious cast, amazing crew, supportive execs, and lovely viewers. It was a joy to work on @HomeEconABC. @mikecolton and I will forever be grateful for the experience. #HomeEconomics
ABC is making some changes to its lineup following the resolution of the writers strike. Comedy #HomeEconomics has been canceled and High Potential has been moved to fall 2024 bit.ly/3PAs9MX

A media mystery solved! @Davidwain found this clip of Doug Kenney and Chris Miller on Tom Snyder. @Hannafordjake wrote about it, but we thought it was lost forever. @MikeColton and I had to invent the hostile exchange in "A Futile and Stupid Gesture." youtu.be/nkX6kWyomrg?si=yhL6…

Great turnout, great energy. Thank you @Cameron_Fay, @todaywithpay, and @manoagapion for organizing!
Day of solidarity for @WGAWest @MidEastWriters @MenaAdvocacy & @sagaftra MENA members. 140+ days of Striking workers. Let’s hope for a positive outcome and progress on a fair deal for all & an end to this work stoppage soon 🪬

And sorry, but the Garfield-themed picket did not have as good a soundtrack.

This turnout was incredible. Most people at a Fox lot picket to date. Huge thanks to the lot captains who organized. Wow!

Somewhere, out on the road in Susan (their RV), Denise's parents Jay and Tamara are having a margarita salted with tears. nytimes.com/2023/09/02/arts/…
Not only did I write tonight’s episode of Home Economics, but I got to work with two comedy legends! @kimcoles and @GaryAWilliams! Also, their characters are named after my parents. It was truly an honor! Check out Home Economics tonight at 9:30! It’s a really fun episode!

Halloween stuff is already out! Candy at Rite Aid, pumpkin spice at Starbucks, and a million spiders the size of your fist at the Disney lot. #wgastrong

The fans’ passion got League picked up. Don’t even try to weaponize said passion against the striking creators who poured their heart and soul into bringing the story to life — it will backfire.
Due to the strikes, production on both A League Of Their Own and The Peripheral was delayed and could not start before 2024, pushing the Season 2 premieres to 2025. That would create a logjam in Amazon’s 2025 pipeline and would stretch the gap between A League Of Their Own's first season and the four final episodes to three years bit.ly/3KK8Q1W

I met the leaders of @Teamster630 at the Universal picket on 8/4, aka the Lankershowdown. Local 630 showed up in force that day; they’re asking @WGAWest and @sagaftra to return the favor Wednesday at their rally. Info here: instagram.com/p/Cv0QlSVv_Zn/…

Go watch @thesheertruth’s new special! It’s got it all.
"This is a very woman forward special." @thesheertruth speaks to @LinseyDavis about her new comedy special, “The First Woman” and turning serious moments in life into humor.
