Carol Burnett turns 91 tomorrow, and Jimmy Kimmel got her the perfect present.
Back in March, Miss Burnett was talking to Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelo, and they asked her if she still wanted to do George Clooney. She told them she is over him and is all about Bradley Cooper.
Well, as soon as Jimmy Kimmel Live’s staff heard that, they called Cooper to tell him that. Then they asked him to record a message for the Queen of Comedy, and he said yes!
So, yesterday, when she was on the show, they played that message for her. Cooper told her that he had been a fan forever and that he would love to work with her.
Someone make that happen and make it happen quickly because Bradley isn’t getting any younger.
Hey, Clooney and Robert Redford, this is how you do it! Don’t just ignore the legendary ladies because neither of you men are that legendary.
The good news is that Law & Order: Organized Crime is still alive for season 5. The bad news is that it is moving to Peacock for ten episodes.
However, moving to Peacock might not be a bad thing because they will promote it more than NBC ever did. So, it is probably a great thing.
Are you going to follow the Dick Wolf procedural to the streaming service?
On that note, Wolf no longer controls three weeknights of television. He only has series on two and two-thirds of the broadcast week, with three FBI shows on CBS’s Tuesdays, three Chicago dramas on NBC’s Wednesdays, and two Law & Orders on NBC’s Thursdays. He better be working on a new Law & Order so he can have Thursdays fully back.
Things have equaled out at CBS because today they announced that they picked up The Equalizer for a fifth season.
“THE EQUALIZER, led by the incomparable Queen Latifah, has all the best elements of a powerful drama,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “The series is stacked with suspense, heroism, high stakes and formidable characters our audience roots for. We look forward to another dynamic season.”
The news is not a surprise because it is the #1 entertainment show with African-American viewers.
I have a feeling that CBS’s Sundays will be The Equalizer, Tracker, and Matlock or NCIS: Hawaii.
Simon Cowell is filming Britain’s Got Talent, and he brought his son Eric to work with him. What could possibly go wrong? He gave his 10-year-old the mic, and the mini-me burped into it. What did the proud pop do? He did the same!
Who knew the older Cowell had a softer side? But he does. And I am here for it.
And hope the Cowell boys bring that talent to America’s Got Talent.
