Did Maya Rudolph give Martin Short the kiss of COVID? |

Over the weekend, 30 Rock was filled with celebrities who were celebrating Saturday Night Live’s 50th. What happens if you put a lot of people in a packed room these days? COVID! And SNL was no different.
Steve Martin revealed two of the people who came down with it. “Maya had Covid. Marty has Covid. I wonder why? The SNL 50th Covid curse is real.”
Because Short tested positive, they have to reschedule this weekend’s date until October. It is not all bad news for those who were supposed to because Steve promised them, “I think we’ll be funnier then, anyway.” As if they could get any funnier than they already are.
When it comes to “the SNL 50th COVID curse,” Martin has not said anyone else who got it. But with so many older legends there, like Garrett Morris, Cher, Lorne Michaels, Jack Nicholson, Paul Simon, Paul McCartney, Meryl Streep, Jane Curtain, Bill Murray, Billy Crystal, and Steve Martin, who were there, I hope it was none of them.

Piers Morgan has COVID, but the show must go on |

Piers Morgan tested positive for COVID-19 this afternoon after taking two other tests that came back negative. So he debated whether he should go into work to host Piers Morgan Uncensored and risk getting everyone sick. Or stay at home and host his show from there.
He ultimately decided to do it from home with the help of two co-workers who recently beat COVID.
With less than four hours to make it happen, they somehow worked a miracle.
However, Morgan was missing one key person from the crew, and that person was the makeup artist. Because he looks shit. And I am not sure it was all COVID’s fault.

Stephen Colbert cancels The Late Show for the rest of the week |

On Monday, Stephen Colbert announced that he tested positive for COVID-19 and would be hosting The Late Show from home. But then yesterday, he said that he was not up for hosting the show.
Today, he gave a further update on his health. “Sorry to say, per doctor’s orders, I’m going to be out for the rest of the week,” he said in his message. “Resting up so that I can deliver the hand crafted, artisanal talk show that we so enjoy serving you. In the meantime, a heady blend of Paxlovid and onions in my socks (thank you, [Jimmy] Fallon) will be rebuilding my immune system.”
I love that Fallon sent him that care package. I wonder what the other members of Strike Force Five are going to send him to get well.
And on that note, I hope it works well, and he is better soon.

The CBS show shared this message from Colbert, “I always want to be able to do the show the audience deserves, but today Covid had other plans. Taking it day by day and I hope we can all see each other tomorrow night.”
Hopefully, he will be feeling better tomorrow and back hosting the show.

Doug Davidson attended a fan event with Rick Springfield overseas, and he came home with COVID-19. It got so bad that he had to call 9-1-1 and was taken to the hospital.
“As some of you are aware, I came back from the Dominican Republic with Covid,” the actor wrote. “After three days, I had significant trouble breathing, and I’d like to give a shout out to these fine agencies who were exceptional on every level. 1st: The 911 operator, she was absolutely fantastic. 2nd The Summerland/Carpinteria, fire district and 3rd: Cottage Hospital emergency Department! Hats off to all of them. They were incredible in every regard. Thank you so much!!!@CarpSumFAA,@AMR, @cottagehealth, @johnpalminterinews, @bill.macfadyen”
Thankfully, he is getting better now. And maybe now he will realize that the vaccine isn’t so bad. Perhaps if he had the shot, he would not have to pay an expensive hospital bill.
