Cheers to Nicole Byer
for being Loosely Exactly adorable. As a struggling actress with a flamboyant roomie and sunny yet slightly demented worldview, the Girl Code star’s new MTV sitcom is loaded with quotably crass comedy and enough of Byer’s ebullient charm to make it the West Coast’s anti-Kimmy Schmidt.
Cheers to Samantha Bee
for her Full Frontal assault on Matt Lauer. Back on the air with the biggest cojones in late night, Bee’s tirade about how the “human Splenda” mishandled NBC’s Commander-in-Chief Forum may be the only thing Trump and Clinton supporters can agree on.
Jeers to ABC
for the way it canceled Mistresses. No, we’re not mad that it happened; we’re just disappointed it took so damn long. Now will someone please get Jes Macallan a worthy role?
Jeers to DWTS Protestors
for falling on their faces. Two haters tried to make a splash by bum-rushing swimmer Ryan Lochte after his opening-night number. Instead they wound up in cuffs and made us feel sympathy for the Olympic liar. How’s that for irony?
