Also a conundrum for Colbert fans. Basically his entire body of work dating back to Strangers with Candy is on Paramount+.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Having just spent a few months reading accounts of CBS’ grotesque cowardice during the 1950s McCarthy-era blacklist, it’s nice to see that The Tiffany Network respects its traditions

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Commentary: PBS and NPR cater to all Americans, despite what Marjorie Taylor Greene might believe After last week's congressional hearing with the heads of PBS and NPR, it's important to remember how public broadcasting works, what it does and whom it serves, our television critic says.

β€˜To call public media radical because it makes room for ideas you might find objectionable is uninformed, delusional or mere performative partisan anti-wokeism.’

How do you create 200 costumes a week? 'SNL' designer Tom Broecker takes us behind the scenes Tom Broecker has played an integral part in the visual language of 'SNL,' leading the costume design team that has helped shape some of the show's funniest moments.

I had so much fun touring the @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social costume closet and talking shop with the show's longtime costume designer Tom Broecker. Yes, I saw the cowbell sweater and Gilda's bathing suit and several Five-Timer jackets. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
