Every comedian's dream notification 😍

It's been such a huge few days in the news, so obviously I rushed to find out what the big Adrian Chiles hot take would be

TV REVIEW: nice to have Mock the Week back

In the last three days, The Times has reviewed Louis CK and The Guardian has reviewed Stephen K Amos 🤮

This is the award I set up, actually, because of the ludicrous amount of talent in the comedy industry that isn't getting the recognition it deserves

Now seen every Best Newcomer nominee from last year's Edinburgh Comedy Awards, and seems like a historically weak list? Definitely the weakest this side of covid. Kate Owens + Elouise Eftos your clear standouts. Sharon Wanjohi wasn't nominated but seems a more gifted comic than all of them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And I'm sorry but Mr Beast is a fool. He keeps talking about how much of a loss he made making the show. Oh, I'm sorry, you were negotiating budgets with Amazon - the infinite money company - and your production made a huge loss? You are a generationally bad negotiator x

But you wonder if we'll ever see the likes of it again, in terms of it being a product of an era where streamers were throwing vast pots of money around to try and achieve market share. That, plus a decent number of good ideas, make it a pretty fascinating watch

A few challenges seem to unfairly disadvantage women. And the pacing - pleasingly galloping to begin with - has slowed to an awful sludge by the end

And it's all so self-aggrandising too. Which they lay on particularly thick in the final episode 🤮

There's a fair few good ideas in there, though not enough to sustain ten episodes. The moments when the show feels like it actually has a moral compass feel pretty fleeting, which only makes it all easier to dislike

It's certainly a compelling watch though. The vast money they have to throw around. "Let's spend $5 million dollars purely on a cliffhanger going into the final episode, why not?"

It's just all so innately unlikable. A vast budget, but nobody thought they should try and find likable contestants? Or anybody likable on the presenting team? Serious questions to be asked of the contestant-casting team, as a minimum

Lord forgive me, I have finished watching Beast Games series one. The biggest-budget reality TV show ever. I have thoughts 🧵

I’ve spent this morning morbidly watching the MTV channels close down and the final songs played were:
MTV Music - Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles)
Club MTV - Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna)
MTV 90s - Goodbye (Spice Girls)
MTV 80s - Together in Electric Dreams (Oakey and Moroder)

yeeeah. got to perhaps suspect she'd be aware of that, and so maybe she very much does blame some specific individual/group/organisation

do you have any idea what she means by "treated with very little care and respect", because i don't

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

????!!!???!

I spent 2025 putting all the best new music into this, my 14th end-of-year playlist. Music is in a fantastic place right now, pop music particularly the best it's been for decades. What a pleasure, what a joy 🥹 open.spotify.com/playlist/0YK...

Quite. I think even if he hadn't died I'd still have assumed they'd be starting the next film with him young and newly recruited to MI6
