Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! "NPR reported NBC News chairman Andy Lack was the driving force behind the disastrous Megyn Kelly hire, which led to a mountain of negative press and cost NBC. Lack was on the receiving end of much deserved criticism over the years from his mishandling of the sexual harassment and rape scandals of Matt Lauer and Harvey Weinstein. You can't protect the public by withholding facts from them. Lack had blocked journalist Ronan Farrow's reporting on Weinstein from appearing on NBC. What really did Lack in was Farrow's then reporting in his book Catch & Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators about Lack's own appalling behavior. Ronan outlined Lack's pattern of preying on young female staffers, that he "pursued sexual relationships with them" -- and then ultimately turned "hostile" toward the women. According to NPR, news of Lack's ouster was buried in an announcement about corporate restructuring that saw Lack replaced by Telemundo exec Cesar Conde, who was appointed to take charge of NBC News, CNBC and MSNBC. For decades, NBC has aired The Golden Globes while being dogged by accusations of shady practices, largely on account of mismanagement of the ceremony by its hosting organization, The Hollywood Foreign Press Association "HFPA". By 2021, however, the Globes had built up a sheen of legitimacy that belied the sketchiness of the HFPA, which consisted of just 87 mostly elderly members. Yet because of the Globes' perceived prestige, this small group held outsized power in Hollywood until, in 2021, when the HFPA was taken to task for its lack of diversity when a report revealed the group had a grand total of zero Black members. Los Angeles Times reported that things got real when more than 100 top Hollywood publicists sent a scathing letter to HFPA, alleging "discriminatory behavior, unprofessionalism, ethical impropriety and alleged financial corruption." The letter also called out NBC for its complicity as NBC aired the Golden Globes for well over two decades of complaints. NBC then announced it would not be airing the Golden Globes in 2022, in order to allow the HFPA time to implement all the sweeping changes it laid out to The Hollywood Reporter; and that the network was "hopeful" the show could return to the network in 2023." This day in history 20 December is the birthday of the US Space Force. I agree with William Shatner. "TV's most outspoken space explorer has a question for the minds behind the US military's newest branch: "What the heck is wrong with you, Space Force?" In a Military Times op-ed, actor William Shatner railed against the US Space Force for choosing US Air Force's officer and enlisted rank names over the US Navy's, contravening decades of science fiction conventions. "Do you know your entertainment space history? Let me show you what I mean," wrote Shatner, who played Captain, later Admiral, James T. Kirk on "Star Trek." "Throughout entertainment history, which precedes actual space flight history by decades, we had captains," he wrote, providing examples of Navy ranks adopted for fictional space exploration. Shatner invoked the heroic exploits of fictional space captains, while poking fun at TV space colonels. "We cannot forget [U.S. Air Force] Colonel Steve Austin, an astronaut who crashed his ship and severely injured himself that cost taxpayers $6 million to put him back together, who was portrayed by my dear friend, Lee Majors," wrote Shatner, referring to the 1970s TV series "The Six Million Dollar Man." US Navy Captain holds a rank equivalent to a US Air Force, Marine Corps or Army Colonel. US Air Force inherited its rank names as an offshoot of the US Army in 1947, when the US Army Air Forces became a standalone branch. US Space Force was left with same rank names when the US Air Force Space Force was split from the US Air Force. In his op-ed, Shatner suggested borrowing the rank structure made famous in "Star Trek," following in the footsteps of creator Gene Roddenberry, who chose the Navy ranks for his Starfleet despite having been an officer in the US Army Air Forces. "They made better sense when talking about a (space) ship," explained Shatner. "" Issac Asmiov's Foundation has Admirals: Admiral Prince Lefkin in "The Mayors", 1942, Bel Riose in the main novels is compared to an "Admiral Peurifoy") and Captains of starships, Han Pritcher in the Foundation Navy. Doc Smith was using naval terms when writing for Amazing Stories in the early 1930's.

I was starstruck so I didn't say anything. When you're a kid, it's so cool to see a celebrity in real life. The whole thing was so normal, no pretentious behavior or "do you know who I am" stuff. Chuck Scarborough was one of New York's greatest broadcast journalists - so consistently professional and reassuring. After over 50 years, he finally retired. Whoever hired him at NBC made the right call. NBC also produced the show Law and Order - great series especially the ones with Jerry Orbach as Detective Lennie Briscoe (one of the best actors in the history of crime television; he unfortunately passed in 2004). And Late Night too. Lots of great shows on NBC.

I'm so unhappy it's going off the air after 17 years and 2000 shows. I'm watching the summer reruns and hoping I can find it on UTUBE in the future. I would love to watch the old shows from years ago. Watching it I loved to vicariously visit the Troubadour and other music venues. I got to see unknown bands and learn a lot about the latest movies, actors, comedians, and creative talents in the entertainment industry. I'm going to miss Last Call a lot. I hope NBC or another network develops a show similar. We need another show like American Bandstand or Soul Train but with the additional range of interests that were provided on Last Call. Enough said. I'm a fan of NBC anyway. For Now! Yelpers remember when I was on Jimmy Fallon Show. So much fun! See my profile photo. I'm going to try to get tickets to another show some day. If you're going to be in NYC try to visit NBC. Take a tour. You may bump into a famous face in the process. There's live music on the Plaza at Rockefeller Center. Check the Summer Concerts out too.

To be fair, I also get a kick out of the hand wringing on FNC when the Right takes it in the teeth. FNC patriarch Rupert Murdoch has often said that conservatism is far more lucrative... so ideological purity on either side is honestly an open question. Unfortunately for MSNBC, their corporate parent Comcast just announced that the network (and their other cable networks) will be spun off into a separate entity as a prelude to a sale so that their losses can be quarantined from the mother ship potentially losing free access to NBC News for reportage and coverage. A decade ago I used to be a regular viewer of Morning Joe as the former Republican Congressman would often tweak his C-suite-hearts and play it right down the middle. No more as his lucrative contract and bold face notoriety has made him a very predictable shill for his paymasters. Too bad. Well gang, you better crank up the Cuisinart because you're going to need gallons of those smoothies going forward. Good luck.

The Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network handle their news. I used to enjoy listening to The Five on the way home from work on Siris XM.

I didn't realize "That '70s Show" is Fox's second longest running live-action sitcom, and that it aired for eight seasons. I lost track of Fox in the early 2000s as they were jumping on the reality television train, and their program offerings were not interesting to me. I do like, that Fox, unlike the other "big three" networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) does not air network daytime programming such as soap operas, game shows, or talk shows.

Over the years HBO continues to premiere good movies, captivating series, special events and documentaries. Since The Sopranos, we have enjoyed series such as: Six Feet Under, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Boardwalk Empire, True Blood, True Detective, Succession, Euphoria, Gilded Age, Silicon Valley, White Lotus, Industry, The Last Of Us, and Plus, a few documentaries: 'The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst' 'Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind', 'The Crime of the Century' which investigated the role of the pharmaceutical industry in the opioid crisis, the series 'Autopsy' with Forensic Pathologist Dr. Michael Baden (where I assisted Executive Producer, Gaby Monet with content - long story) ;) and currently, 'My Mom Jayne' the stunning well edited and revealing documentary by Mariska Hargitay about the mom she never knew until now, Jayne Mansfield. HBO has a plethora of good quality content.
