Before Morgan Freeman was a chauffeur in Driving Miss Daisy, he was a detective on Texas. He looks the same now as he did when he was 44 in that 1981 episode.
Adam Driver attended a Q&A for his movie Ferrari yesterday, and an audience member asked him about the cheesy crash scenes in the film. The actor responded by saying, “Fuck you! I don’t know. Next question.”
Needless to say, that response did not go over well with people and the press. And his answer went viral.
Today, on The Talk, they talked about it, and Jerry O’Connell explained why Driver was wrong to give that “harsh” answer with an example from his life recently.
“I’m married to my wife [Rebecca Romijn]…My wife’s ex-husband [John Stamos] recently wrote a biography, and it referred to my wife in a negative manner. And a lot of people have asked me about that in press, and it would be easy for me to say screw you, how dare you ask me about that, but really it would be bringing attention to a situation that I don’t want to feed into,” O’Connell said. “With my example, there’s children involved, teenage children who read everything on the internet. So you don’t want to feed that fire.”
O’Connell is not wrong because, as he stated, people are going to see Ferrari now for the cheesy crashes and laugh at them even if they are well done. Sometimes it is better to play it off as cool rather than let your true emotions show.
As for O’Connell, he is handling the Stamos situation properly because Uncle Jessie has been coming off as a dick with his memoir. So much so that I have no intention of reading it because I have already been turned off of him since the book came out, and that is just from the interviews he did about the book.
I also respect O’Connell for him putting his daughters first. My niece is their age and is also a Freshman in high school. And it is not easy. So, I think O’Connell is a caring and good father for putting their needs before his emotions. They are lucky to have him as a dad.
Last week, the SAG-AFTRA strike ended after 118 days, and production is finally able to begin again. But then, I read that most shows were expected to start after Thanksgiving.
However, on my Facebook feed today, I saw that NBC’s Extended Family with Jon Cryer, Donald Faison, Abigail Spencer, Sofia Capanna, and Finn Sweeney will begin taping this Friday, and 1iota has tickets for the new sitcom.
It’s really happening! Production is really back! So while CBS announced today that their Fall lineup will debut in February, NBC is making it happen.
However, I should add that 1iota also has tickets for four other multi-camera scripted shows with their start dates: NBC’s Night Court on November 21st, Netflix’s That ’90s Show on December 1st, CBS’s Bob Hearts Abishola on December 5th, and Netflix’s The Upshaws on December 7th.
Due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the broadcast networks delayed their Fall lineups. Now that the strikes are over, CBS is ready to launch theirs after the Super Bowl on February 11th.
However, not all of the shows that were announced in May will debut this season. Matlock with Kathy Bates and Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr.’s sitcom Where’s Poppa are expected to move to the 2024-2025 schedule.

Next year, A Nightmare on Elm Street turns 40, but three of the leads celebrated a little early this weekend at Spooky Empire.
It is nice to see that Heather Langenkamp and Amanda Wyss are getting along with Freddy Krueger after all he did to them. Oh yeah, that is Robert Englund and not the dream killer. It is hard to separate the two.
I know the difference between reality and the nightmare he created during my teens. I think?
Seriously, I love seeing them together. And I hope we get a lot more of them next year for the film’s milestone!
Elm Street turning 40 is almost scarier than the movie itself. Although, I made my father watch the rest of the Horror movie with me after I saw a bloodied Wyss walking in the clear body bag.
