Last week, I was talking to a friend, and I told him that I can’t believe McDonald’s didn’t do the McRib this year. Yes, my conversations are really that boring.
Anyways, he told me that he heard it was coming back soon. This morning, I got a text confirming that it is coming back on December 3rd.
“The McRib is more than a sandwich – it’s a part of culture, it’s a legend, it’s an event,” said Tariq Hassan, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald’s. “McRib SZN is a holiday unto itself, so we wanted to embrace that spirit and give fans an even bigger way to celebrate this year with A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce.”
That’s right. This year, McDonald’s is selling a half gallon of A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce for $19.99. However, there is a catch. It is only available on November 25th and while supplies last. So, if you want one, which I do, then set your alarms to go off at 10a on Monday. Actually, don’t because you might buy the last jug before I get mine. So don’t tell anyone about this.
Richard Gere was on Today today, and he started the interview off with Savannah Guthrie by giving her the finger.
Why would the officer and a gentleman do that? They showed a clip from his Paramount+ show The Agency, but they deleted the last part where he gives someone the finger. Thus taking away the key point of that clip. So, he showed the audience what they were missing.
Savannah was taken aback by it and said to him, “You just did an obscene gesture on this family morning show!”
I’m sorry, Today is a family show? What kid is paying attention to that shit? They might see it because their parents have it on during breakfast. But no kid is like, “Mom. Can we watch Today?” to listen to what the 75-year-old actor has to say about an R-rated show?
So if Cher wants to say fuck, and Gere wants to give her the finger, get over it! Let’s be real and not be as fake as those anchors!
I knew that the Pope and Supreme Court Justices could retire from their jobs for life. But I thought the only way you could leave The Simpsons was to die like the late actors Marcia Wallace, Jackie Mason, and Phil Hartman. But that is not the case.
Today, Fox announced that Pamela Hayden, who voices Milhouse Van Houten, is retiring from the series after 35 years.
“The time has come for me to hang up my microphone, but how do I say goodbye to The Simpsons?……not easily. It’s been an honor and a joy to have worked on such a funny, witty, and groundbreaking show, and to give voice to Milhouse (and Jimbo Jones, Rod Flanders, Janey, Malibu Stacy, and many others),” she said.
Her last appearance airs this Sunday, which is the annual Treehouse of Horror episode.
While she is no longer part of The Simpsons, her characters will live on. The producers will begin casting in the near future.
Contrary to popular belief, The CW is still airing original content. Today, the network their Winter schedule, which includes a wild card of a show. You know, Wild Cards, think White Collar with a female con artist played by Vanessa Morgan.
The following is The CW’s 2025 midseason premiere schedule. All times ET/PT except where noted:
In case you haven’t heard, Cynthia Erivo is playing Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, in the spectacular movie musical Wicked, which comes out on Friday! And if you didn’t know, Elphaba is green.
Over the last few months, Universal has been doing a media blitz for the film, which feels like an old-school event in so many different ways.
Today, in my opinion, the most brilliant promotion for the feature was revealed. Cynthia Erivo took the Yellow Brick Road to Sesame Street and sang It’s Not Easy Bein’ Green with Oscar the Grouch! And he even had to smile when he heard her angelic voice sing the updated lyrics to Kermit the Frogs song!
