So today was the weekly zoom call with the boys. Coincidentally, I received my “Del Boca Vista” tee shirt. One of the guys had them made up It says,
“Del Boca Vista
They don’t want us there
so we’re going.”
It captures the petty spiteful spirit of the Costanzas and honestly, I’ve always felt a kindred mean spirited impulse toward almost everything out there.
I wore it to the zoom and immediately sensed a greater respect from my fellow Deplorables.
I read off the Costanza rant verbatim,
“This is Frank Costanza. You think you can keep us out of Florida? We’re moving in lock, stock, and barrel. We’re gonna be in the pool. We’re gonna be in the clubhouse. We’re gonna be all over that shuffleboard court! And I dare you to keep me out!”
It was a proud moment. But we must move on.
So, everyone has been whining about Colbert getting the boot. The Democrats in Congress want to have Senate investigations to make sure Trump didn’t order the firing. Gee, if they could prove he was responsible I bet he’d hand out lists with almost every name in Hollywood and the networks including Tom Hanks, George Clooney and Alec Baldwin to start.
But finding out that the Late Show costs $100 million a year to produce and loses $46 million a year was hilarious. If ABC and NBC are losing anything close to those numbers, I’m guessing that Kimmel and Fallon will both be given the boot sometime soon. And that would leave Greg Gutfeld not only the highest rated show on late night but the only one.
And how about the View? Is that turkey actually making money for ABC. It’s kind of hard to believe. But then again maybe they don’t pay those demented hags much of any salary. I mean, why would you? They’re not actually celebrities. The closest they have to a star is Whoopi Goldberg who was in a couple of popular movies about a thousand years ago while she was still alive. Now she’s just one of the undead subsisting on the leftovers from the craft services table and sleeping upside down in an equipment storage closet on the set. I couldn’t imagine they pay people like Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin or Ana Navarro at all. I figure they just wandered on the set one at a time and became domesticated by the crew. I’m sure they’ve been taught a few stupid pet tricks over the years like a parrot learning to mimic human speech somewhat. It can be a fun trick but one soon tires of the irritating repetition of some catch phrase like “systemic racism” or “mansplaining.”
Well anyway, we’ll have to wait and see whether the other shoe drops and Jon Stewart is also given his walking papers by Paramount. Now granted, he doesn’t make $20 million a year like Colbert and his show doesn’t cost a $100 million dollars a year to make but maybe just so Colbert doesn’t feel picked on they should also heave Stewart overboard too. After all they’re old friends. They could keep each other company on the unemployment line.
