We Got Baroness Haden-Guest and Other Excellent People and Excellent Things – Saturday Night OT

Baroness Haden Guest

If it’s somewhere in the remote in the back of your mind who her husband is, you could ask Corky St Clair

or Nigel Tufnel

I will post Wonkette's take on this whole thing from Marcie Jones down in comments, because until she untangled all the parties for me I could not grasp why Skydance would want to be involved in such capitulation until I saw the face attached & connected it to what his behavior to date would indicate is a pronounced Well Done Son complex vis-a-vis his ol' Dad

Gives us a little context, yes

Here is a quick list of shows, in case anyone needs to have a conversation with anyone else about at-home programming going forward

AND - since we had a conversation last night about how so many things these days were "just okay", here are some fairly incontestibly Nice Things
