Nikki Finke and Jay Penske Back Together, Again


Wow! Just wow. TCC did not see Nikki Finke's return to Deadline.com coming. Ear was not to the ground on this. Apparently Finke was about to "start a new column with Mediaite", and despite Jay Penske's past public squabbles (lawsuits) with Finke, Penske was not about to let this lengandry hollywood writer set up shop anywhere else. Penske reportedly made a "massive offer", which Finke obviously accepted. Over the years there have been many rumors and stories concerning the Finke/Penske fallout/relationship, even a supposed film in the works.

More on Nikki Finke and Jay Penske

Penske purchased Deadline.Com from Finke in 2009. However, after what were reported to be editorial disputes, Finke left the company she started in 2013. Finke's job may be breaking news and using that sledge hammer (that is her words) to put those young hollywood moguls (please consult with your predecessors) in their place. TCC only hopes Finke won't be camera shy this time around!

Politics Becoming Popular Spectator Sport

Image
Politics TCC started down this road with a post yesterday, Funny Response to Trump Tweetstorm , that was a GIFF poking fun at White House press secretary Sean Spicer's response to President Trump's cell phone usage to tweet. Politics seems to be a uniting force, both pro and against Trump, on social media and in everyday conversations with Americans commenting, "Did you hear..." "How about..."  "Can you believe...." Stephen Colbert , host of CBS ' "Late Night with Stephen Colbert",  has moved from 2nd place to 1st since the inauguration of Trump. Other late-night hosts are also experiencing a boost in ratings as it appears Americans are using these vehicles as either proof of political views (confirmation or conspiracy) or just as a coping mechanism. Each day Trump seems provide new fodder for late-night television hosts to sink their teeth into.  clipartfox.com

Looks Like Kerry Washington Couldn't Fix SNL

Image
Reviews for Kerry Washington's appearance on SNL , considering Saturday Night Live was dealing with a very public issue concerning the lack of black females on the show, seems to have focused the diversity problem (like a laser) on the writing staff as well. Could diversity among the writing staff be the issue, too?
