Idiot box thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I don't know much about Pete Davidson, but I'm guessing he must have the biggest most talented dick in the world. Now hanging out closely with Kim Kardashian, he's got quite the history with some very hot ladies. If he beds Taylor Swift, he'll complete a grand slam before he's 30.
Davidson dated comedian Carly Aquilino from 2014 until 2015, and dated Cazzie David, daughter of comedian Larry David, from 2016 to 2018.

In May 2018, he started dating singer Ariana Grande. In June 2018, Davidson confirmed he was engaged to Grande, but the engagement was called off in October 2018. Grande's song about Davidson titled "Pete Davidson" appears on her 2018 album Sweetener. She also referenced him in her song, "Thank U, Next", with the lyric, "Even almost got married / And for Pete I'm so thankful".

In early 2019, Davidson was in a relationship with actress Kate Beckinsale, a woman twenty years his senior. In response to media comments about the age difference, he said that such an age gap was new to him and that the media should ask older men in longer relationships with younger women such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Alec Baldwin, Larry King, and Donald Trump about it. He also dated actress Margaret Qualley until their relationship ended in October 2019. He was involved with Kaia Gerber, daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford, from October 2019 to January 2020. In August 2021, he split from Bridgerton actress Phoebe Dynevor after a five month relationship.
This guy: :crazy:

You nailed it . . . (and shame on you for objectifying Pete). ;)

‘Embarrassed’ Pete Davidson describes how much ex Ariana Grande’s ‘BDE’ discourse ‘hurt’

Life After People

Life After People is a television series on which scientists, mechanical engineers, and other experts speculate about what might become of planet Earth if humanity suddenly disappeared. The featured experts also talk about the impact of human absence on the environment and the vestiges of civilization thus left behind. The series was preceded by a two-hour special that aired on January 21, 2008, on the History Channel which served as a de facto pilot for the series that premiered April 21, 2009. The documentary and subsequent series were both narrated by James Lurie.

After a 15 year hiatus, History will air a new third season beginning July 14, 2025.
I don't think I watched the first two seasons. This third season is fascinating to me. It's getting ratings of 7s and 8s out of 10 on IMDb.

Oddly, the premise does not make me sad, though some of the probable consequences of newly unmanaged environmental hazards does.

Bombshell texts in Dr. Phil case appear to reveal brazen and ‘problematic’ bankruptcy ‘scheme’ to kickstart new media company

"Dr." Phil vs "Christian" broadcaster Trinity Broadcasting and TKO-owned sports league Professional Bull Riders. Sounds like the "Dr." has been selling snake oil, but I don't care about the outcome. I'm just happy that one or more of the players will LOSE.

Heidi Gardner exits 'SNL,' joining Devon Walker and Michael Longfellow. Who else is leaving?
Creator Lorne Michaels only confirmed James Austin Johnson will be returning for Season 51, suggesting more cast departures to come.


Heidi Gardner is exiting Saturday Night Live after eight seasons, according to multiple reports. The actress joined the late-night sketch show in 2017. Gardner, whose memorable characters include Bailey Gismert, a teenage film critic for "Weekend Update," and Brie Bacardi, became the longest-tenured active female cast member during Season 50. The previous year, the Shrinking star appeared in more sketches than her fellow castmates....

All leaving.

Life is change. We'll miss you.

On right now:
The Graham Norton Show
Season 30, Episode 5 • New
11:00 PM EDT ON BBCA • CC

Together on Graham’s sofa tonight: rock legend and U2 frontman Bono, who has written frankly about his remarkable life in Surrender; pop superstar Taylor Swift, promoting her new album Midnights; Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne, starring in true crime thriller The Good Nurse; and BBC presenter and former Lioness Alex Scott, whose sporting memoir is How (Not) To Be Strong. With music from Lady Blackbird, who performs her new single Feel It Comin'.
Best talk show on TV.
Just began:
Dame Judi Dench says her new film is a big cheer to the NHS; Hugh Jackman starring in "The Son"; Michael B. Jordan promoting "Creed III"; Eugene Levy in the TV series "The Reluctant Traveller"; Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas pop in for a chat.
Seriously? Wow, that's 5 or more US shows.
Best talk show on TV.

Edit: And Pink sings with an acrobat!
I've said it before, Best . . .

BBC: The Graham Norton Show

Tonight, great show: Graham's guests are Julia Roberts, Colin Farrell, Gloria Estefan and Benedict Cumberbatch, performance by Robbie Williams. Great trivia, Julia had no idea:
Spoiler:
Her Pretty Woman role was first offered to Gloria. She turned it down because her music career was taking off and she wasn't ready to act. Julia thanked her profusely. :clap:
I think there's a rerun on the weekend, not sure when.

Oct 23: Graham's guests include Bruce Springsteen, Jeremy Allen White and Jennifer Lawrence.

I mean, c'mon . . .
