Former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, who parroted his boss’ unfounded claims that voter fraud cost him the 2020 election, may have engaged in questionable voting behavior himself. According to a report from The New Yorker, Meadows filled out a form registering to vote in North Carolina on Sept. 19, 2020, and where the form asked for the address “where you physically live,” he listed a mobile home on a mountain that his wife had briefly rented.
But according to the former owner of the mobile home, which measures 14 by 62 feet, Meadows never visited the property.

Fox is swinging the comedy format pendulum heading into next season, adding three new multi-camera series while cancelling at least three single-camera ones, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Mick and The Last Man On Earth, which all got the ax earlier today.
The latest new multi-camera addition to Fox’s schedule for next season is the Lil Rel Howery starrer Rel, from Jerrod Carmichael, Mike Scully and 20th Century Fox TV. It joins recently picked up pilot-to-series multi-camera comedy The Cool Kids as well as the Last Man Standing revival, which is still being finalized. The retirement home-set The Cool Kids had been rumored as a potential companion for Lms on the fall schedule, so Rel could be for a midseason.
Returning to multi-camera comedies, which Fox abandoned a couple of years ago, was a priority for the network’s new entertainment president Michael Thorn. “I believe in them, we all believe in them,...

10. “What Would Diplo Do”
Season 1, Episode 2, “The Cult”
Directed by Brandon Dermer
Written by James Van Der Beek
“What would Diplo do?” is a question addressed throughout the first few episodes of Viceland’s new comedy, but what Diplo actually does gets tackled head on in Episode 2. Functioning as a response to Diplo’s most human moment in the pilot (asking nemesis Calvin Harris if all they do as DJs is push a button), the episode examines the creation of one song — just one — over the course of, well, quite a long time.
When a reporter stops by to write a story on how Diplo (James Van Der Beek) creates a song, he becomes witness to a maniacal process involving rats, post-its, a blender, and, yes, a cult. The running joke is that Diplo goes to crazy extremes just to get back to where he started, but there’s a...

“The Carmichael Show” – “Yes Means Yes”
Season 3, Episode 1
Directed by Gerry Cohen
Written by Kevin Barnett & Josh Rabinowitz
“The Carmichael Show” has never been afraid to present its audience with an idea or moment that cuts through the belly laughs and goes right for something that feels, for lack of a better term, real. Now in its third season, that practice is inextricably woven into the show’s DNA. The best news for fans and potential newcomers alike is that once that sharp intake of breath the subsides, it’s still one of the funniest shows on TV. – Steve Greene

The cast of NBC’s “The Carmichael Show” learned an important lesson early in the show’s run: Be careful what you say about Oprah, or your live audience will turn against you.
“There are things that you learn from your audience about what upsets them,” star Loretta Devine said on Monday, during NBC’s annual summer press day. “We’ll find out something simple like you can’t talk about Oprah in certain situations. I can’t remember what the joke was, but it was something like ‘if Oprah died…’ and they just weren’t having it. There are certain things you can’t say about Oprah. You can’t put ‘Oprah’ and ‘death’ in the same sentence.”

Fox aims to redefine sketch comedy with a half-hour pilot developed and greenlighted under the network's alternative programming chief Mike Darnell.
The ensemble -- referred to as untitled comedy troupe project, or "Inside Jokes" -- hails from Merv Griffin Entertainment, with "Entourage" co-star Kevin Connolly on board as an executive producer. The pilot is filming this week, hosted by Cameron Bender and featuring five other cast members: Mary Scheer, Jay Phillips, Carrie Wiita, Paul Schackman and Lauren Rose Lewis.
The project is the brainchild of playright/actor/acting coach Ted Brunetti, who first approached Merv Griffin TV president Roy Bank about the idea. Bank brought in Connolly, who has been venturing into directing and producing.
The three will executive produce with Ron Ward and John Moffitt.
Gerry Cohen is directing the pilot for the project, which Bank describes as "a new way of doing sketch comedy."
