Musical Interlude: By The Time This Night is Over (1992)

 Kenny G teamed with Peabo Bryson on 1992's "By The Time This Night is Over", first released on Kenny's CD, "Breathless", then reissued on a Bryson CD 2 years later. Bryson had become known for his Disney duets from "Beauty & The Beast" and "Aladdin", the latter released around the same time as "Night".


In memory of Bryson, 75, who passed away earlier today after a stroke. Rest in peace.

What Might've Been: Show Me! (1990)

 Here's an unsold pilot recently uncovered.

NBC had commissioned Show Me! from an independent producer in 1990. Three pilots were produced before the network decided not to pick up the show.

Ex-MTV VJ Mark Goodman, having seen how his pal, Alan Hunter, had managed to do a fill-in gig on Triple Threat a couple of years earlier, was tapped to host this pilot. Our celebrity panel includes impressionist-actor Fred Travalena, no stranger to being an MC himself.


What were they going for? Sounds like You Don't Say for stand-ups. Goodman looked perfect in his first go as a game show host, but was never given another audition. Mark would later return to the MTV Networks family, this time at VH1, for a time.

Rating: B.

Trump steals awards that he didn't earn. Jimmy Kimmel earned his. Expect a meltdown in Washington.........

 This is going to hit president Donald Trump right where he lives. In his overfed ego.

ABC should start promoting Jimmy Kimmel Live! by highlighting the fact that the comedian has earned a Peabody Award. Check it.


Trump swindled his way to the Nobel Peace Prize medal, and stole some soccer trophies that don't belong to him. Kimmel earned the Peabody. Trump will be wetting his Depends any time now.....!

Jimmy Kimmel has been part of the pop culture fabric for nearly 30 years, dating back to Win Ben Stein's Money. Just watch. Next year, it'll be Stephen Colbert's turn......

Celebrity Rock: Under The Bridge (2024)

From The Masked Singer:

We found out that Dr. Ken Jeong is a huge Red Hot Chili Peppers fan. Contestant Sherlock Hound got a rise out of Jeong with a compact cover of the Chilis' 1991 smash, "Under The Bridge".


Some folks initially thought it was Hootie & The Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker under the mask. Nope. Turned out it was former baseball pitcher Bronson Arroyo, who played for a number of teams, including Cincinnati, Boston, & Arizona, during his career. Jeong got in on the fun calling out, "One time!" prior to the chorus. 

Y'notice how judge Robin Thicke is sounding like his late father, actor-singer-songwriter Alan Thicke? Maybe his next album will cover all the theme songs dad wrote.....

Donald Trump thinks he has drawn more people than Elvis. If you believe that one.........

 We all know president Trump lives in a delusional fantasy world where he is beloved and revered, when, in reality, he is not.

In reality, with 2 weeks before he turns 80, he shows us over and over again that he is detached from reality. We reported yesterday that more than half of the headline acts supposedly signed for the Freedom 250 concert series in Washington have dropped out. Now, Trump is threatening to cancel the concerts, and put himself at the center of the festival.

Yeah, like that's going to work. NOT! Remember, this is a guy who rage watched the Super Bowl halftime show in February when he could've saved himself some stress with the Turning Point USA show. Knowing Donnie Diapers, he probably couldn't find the channel the TPUSA show was on.

Then, he went and claimed he's attracted more people than rock legend Elvis Presley.

Yeah, right, and pigs will fly.

From Canada comes this report.


If Trump follows through with his threat to speak at the National Mall, it will be must-avoid TV, and he'll end up inviting another assassination attempt.

My take? Well.....


Trump just doesn't get it. He doesn't want to get it. People are tired of his act. Bellevue is waiting.

More examples of GOP stupidity

 To the surprise of, well, no one, former Attorney General Pam "Dumb" Bondi pleaded the 5th when testifying before Congress on Friday, refusing to answer any questions about the Epstein files, and other controversies.

Current acting AG Todd "Bleached" Blanche sent some lawyers over to ensure that Bondi didn't spill any tea, let's put it that way. It tells us that the GOP is that scared the truth will come out.

Just hold both of them for contempt, and see what happens.

A Federal judge ruled Friday that president Trump cannot have his name added to the Kennedy Center, after all. What Donnie Diapers did last year, the judge ruled, was illegal.

Of course, there was this:


"WAAAHHHH! I do what I want! You don't tell me what to do! WAAAAHHHHHH!!"

Donnie Diapers' jealousy of the Democrats is on full display. And so is his ego.

Treasury Secretary Scott "Full" Bessent is the idiot responsible for the plan to introduce a $250 bill with Trump's face on it. Look for that to be struck down as well, since sitting presidents aren't supposed to have this while in office.

And, then, there is the Freedom 250 concert series, scheduled for the National Mall in Washington from June 25-July 10. Some of the artists announced for the series earlier in the week have already withdrawn, claiming that they were misled by the claim that the concerts were supposed to unite the country. Not with Trump involved. Cheeto Narcissus likely will show up to gum up the works. In the last two days, the following have dropped out:

Bret Michaels (Poison).

Martina McBride.

The Commodores, who haven't had a hit record in 41 years ("Night Shift", 1985, their only post Lionel Richie hit).

Young MC.

Morris Day & The Time, best known for their association with Prince in the 80's, and hits like "Jungle Love".

As of now, Flo Rida &  Fabrice Morvan (Milli Vanilli) are still scheduled. There are conflicting reports regarding another 90's act, the C & C Music Factory, now under the direction of Freedom Williams, who's not exactly a Trump fan himself.

Yahoo! commenters are having a field day as Trump sycophants are trying to spin their way out of this debacle, asking if has-beens like Kid Rock will be added. Some asked about Roseanne Barr & Scott Baio.

Apparently, the committee reps that met with the agents for the artists didn't tell them everything, and that further research exposed the truth.

Prediction: Trump's talent challenged daughter-in-law, Lara, and unfunny comic Tony Hinchcliffe will fill the vacant spots, or the entire event gets cancelled.

Update, 4:58 pm (ET): Trump himself has announced he will appear as a headline act. Watch the house vacate.

Speaking of Lara, it seems she blew up a myth about Dumb Donald. Standing side-by-side with the president exposes the fact that he's not as tall as he claims to be. Well, DUH!!!!! We do start to lose height as we get older. I'll guess he's not 215 pounds, either, but more like 315.

Finally, Trump, a WWE Hall of Famer for hosting two Wrestlemania events in Atlantic City in the late 80's, participating in a 3rd, and being a friend of the McMahon family, bought stock in TKO, WWE's parent company, ahead of the UFC card scheduled for his birthday, June 14. Gee, what a surprise, or, in the words of Thanos in an Avengers movie, "this is inevitable". It sure is.
