A post on the Truth Anti-social site reported that Kash was on vacation during this reorganization so they inadvertently hired the spirit of MITCH MILLER as the head comedy writer.

This hire not only will assure audiences of good musical guests, it guarantee that all administration appointees will sing in unison when their opportunity arrives to testify at next year's Senate impeachment

PS. A Disney executive revealed that both KP and Mitch will have to comply with Peter Pecker's new facial hair policy.

O'boy, with Mitch Miller in charge maybe he'll even get Spike Jones, as a special guest, to perform "Cocktails for Two.

to balance the program, they're bringing back some of the Hee Haw cast as well . . . sing it with me, "gloom, despair, and agony on meeeeeee..."

Annette -- good choice since Hee-Haw actually replaced the Smothers Brothers when CBS canceled their Comedy Hour show.

I don't know why, when I read Mitch Miller, that my brain substituted Mitch McConnell. Thank you for a good laugh, once I got it.

Huh? Annette's given me quite a few golf claps and I never asked.

Annette, I am crushed between your palms. But at least yours meet, unlike trump's.

no need to feel crushed, L.R., my "gesture" was meant to be approving and complimentary.

Annette's avatar

Octavia ~ my use of golf clap is more of an actual approval (polite, at that) of the comment made. I did not mean to be disagreeable, but instead I wanted to recognize the statement made as worthy of attention.

That's a hilarious idea! But since Patel has no discernable sense of humor, perhaps they should make the show more educational wherein instead of a funny monologue, he reads a couple of pages a night from Project 2025, informing us of everything we're in for, perfect for October Halloween fright nights.

Genius idea, Andy! The possibility itself is delicious. And Since so many people are boycotting ABC and Disney, he’ll have a smaller audience to please. He’s a laughingstock already, so the show will be a “sure thing.” 🤣🤣🤣

I thought the point of stand-up comedy was to make fun of the assholes, not play one yourself.

Perhaps I’ve been misinformed.

I believe Kashyap is an a**hole in training, therefore he needs the practice . . . as does Hitler Miller, because he is actually not capable of smiling, let alone laughing

After Iger kicked Kimmel off the air, Interesting to see what this will do for his wife, Willow Bay, who is dean of the USC Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism, and was planning to throw a big fundraiser for the International Women's Media Foundation at their home. The IWMF supports women and nonbinary people in the media, and presents various Courage in Journalism awards. Well hypocrisy is par for the course for the rich and powerful, apparently.

No need for writers. Kash is the joke. He just stares at camera. When it is time for a witty joke, he puts on his glasses. All the other deer just laugh and laugh.
