For The Ringer, I wrote about the best TV coaching trees, from series that did the best job of finding and nurturing writers and/or directors who would go on to make great shows of their own:
Which TV Show Has the Best Coaching Tree?
Vince Gilligan is eternal proof of the strength of the ‘X-Files’ writers room. But frankly, that room has a ton of competition across television history.

This has suddenly made me realize that there could be a Muppet-driven show that functions much like DOCUMENTARY NOW. Like … just imagine the possibilities. Oh my god.
Am I a hypocrite for wanting this after giving a hard no to muppet knives out
Okay, I'm making my case for the only Muppet I want to see on Broadway right now...

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

President Pope, Tuesdays at 8:00, only on the WB.
I am disappointed no pollster seems to have yet run a survey including the Pope as a 2028 presidential candidate. C'mon, that's some gold-plated clickbait. I saw one that included Mamdani; Leo's actually eligible.

I can't stop thinking about the implausibility of Edward Burns getting the greenlight on a 30 years on sequel to The Brothers McMullen after a career spent largely remaking that movie over and over again.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures
It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...
