Yesterday, CBS aired the highly anticipated Billy Joel: The 100th – Live at Madison Square Garden. However, the Masters ran late, and that caused the concert to start late. Therefore, the local news would also be starting later.
However, the local news started earlier than expected and cut the Piano Man off during his final song Piano Man.
Needless to say, the fans were pissed, as they should be.
So, today, CBS released this statement, “A network programming timing error ended last night’s Billy Joel special approximately two minutes early in the Eastern and Central Time Zones. We apologize to Mr. Joel, his fans, our affiliated stations, and our audience whose viewing experience was interrupted during the last song. Due to the overwhelming demand from his legion of fans, BILLY JOEL: THE 100TH – LIVE AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN will be rebroadcast in its entirety on CBS on April 19th at 9:00PM ET/PT.”
I am surprised this happened again after the Heidi incident in 1968. That was when NBC cut off the NY Jets vs the Oakland Raiders and switched to the movie Heidi during the game. Fans missed the Raiders coming from behind in the final few minutes. And they went nuts. Can you blame them?
Since then, the networks have tried never to do that again. But yesterday, it happened, and CBS felt the Pressure to make it up to the fans.
So they will re-air it on Friday instead of repeats of Fire Country and Blue Bloods.
If you cannot wait until then, you can watch it on Paramount+.
Jared Leto might be part of the Spider-Man universe as Morbius. But it looks like he wants to play Peter Parker.
That is because the actor was seen scaling a building in Berlin without any assistance. Let’s see Tom Holland do that without any help. And the Oscar winner did it at 52, and Holland is almost half his age.
As to why he was doing it, the musician was doing it to promote the fact that his band 30 Seconds to Mars will be playing at the Uber Arena there on May 12th.
While Revenge didn’t last forever, Emily VanCamp and Josh Bowman’s marriage seems to be. The television couple turned a real life one welcomed their second baby last month.
The actress wrote, “✨Rio Rose ✨ 3-12-2024 Welcome to the world baby girl. We love you so much ❤️”
Rio Rose joins sister, Iris, 2, in the Bowman household.
The Bowmans celebrated their fifth anniversary in December.
Yesterday was the WGA Awards, and they honored Drew Carey, who paid for their meals during the strike.
The Price Is Right host spent over $1 million at two restaurants near striking locations so that no writer would starve.
Why did he do it? Because it was the right thing to do.
And he also explained, “You writers…made me a fucking million. Everybody in this room makes some actor a million. And you deserve all the money you get. And all the credit you get.”
So, he was paying it forward. Something his accountant and agent were.
were trying to convince him to stop doing it because it was costing the comedian so much money.
But he didn’t stop because if he did, then the producers would have seen it as those who were striking were starting to give up. So he didn’t care how much it cost him because he was fighting for the people who helped him and many other actors become rich.
So thank you, Drew Carey, for having a huge heart.
