Barbara Walters was one of the most influential people to ever hit the American airwaves, but her story was more complex than just being a trailblazer of network news. Hitting shelves on Tuesday, April 23, is Susan Page’s The Rulebreaker: The Life and Times of Barbara Walters, a biography chronicling her entire life and career. The book is rich with details about what made Walters tick even as a child and how cutthroat she could be when it came to protecting her hardwon place atop ABC News. There are a lot of details in the book that are uplifting, saddening, and downright shocking. Here we’ll outline a few of the most surprising things we learned about Barbara Walters from The Rulebreaker. She didn’t like SNL parodies of her, but warmed up to them in a touching way On the one hand, being impersonated on SNL is something of...

You knew this was coming. Last night’s episode of “Saturday Night Live” not only recreated the Vice Presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Mike Pence, but the fly that infamously lingered on Pence’s head last week during the televised head-to-head also made a very special appearance. David Cronenberg fans will recognize “SNL’s” mashup of his 1986 sci-fi movie “The Fly,” starring Jeff Goldblum, who’s channeled here by Jim Carrey as Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. Watch below.
The “debate” is moderated by Kate McKinnon as Susan Page. Meanwhile, guest Maya Rudolph reprised her role as Rudolph, with cast regular Beck Bennett starring as Mike Pence. Of course, Harris’ “I’m speaking” moment made it into the episode, to rowdy applause.
Joining the cold open was Kenan Thompson as Tea Party activist Herman Cain, who died of Covid-19 at the end of July.

The mystery of the fly that landed on Mike Pence’s head at the vice-presidential debate with Senator Kamala Harris was revealed tonight on Saturday Night Live – and it was a high-tech bedeviled Joe Biden.
Maya Rudolph told the New Yorker Festival earlier this week that while she was anxious about how to translate the first and only VP debate of the 2020 campaign into a SNL opener tonight, the material “kind of wrote itself” once the languid fly landed on Pence’s head on stage on October 7.
Quoting Senator Harris’ now famous “Mr. Vice-President, I’m speaking, I’m speaking” and “let me ask the American people this, how calm were you when you didn’t know where you were going to get your next roll of toilet paper?” lines from the Susan Page moderated (in name only debate), Rudolph doubled down – “I’d like to hear the Vice-President’s response and while he speaks,...

On Wednesday night a star was born. When a fly landed on Vice President Mike Pence’s head during the debate against Sen. Kamala Harris, it was a moment that took over Twitter for the rest of the week. Naturally, the fly had prime screen time during “Saturday Night Live’s” Oct. 10 cold open sketch about the debate — but rather than cast someone new in the role, the late-night sketch comedy show hypothesized that it was Joe Biden (Jim Carrey) who teleported to the debate in order to “save the soul of this nation.”
The sketch began simply, with Kate McKinnon portraying debate moderator Susan Page and saying they would be debating a “who cares number of topics,” Beck Bennett portraying Pence, and Emmy winner Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris, entering by double-fisting cans of Lysol. The first question was for Bennett’s Pence, who stalled when asked about the...

Besides moderator Susan Page losing control early and that fly on Mike Pence’s head, if there is anything everyone can agree on about tonight’s first and only vice presidential debate of the 2020 campaign, it is that the 2024 campaign has begun.
Between Sen. Kamala Harris and incumbent Mike Pence, one or both of them may very well be in the race for the White House in four years, regardless if Donald Trump or Joe Biden wins next month.
As for 2020, well, besides all the attention that the black fly on Pence’s white hair attracted online, tonight was another wasted opportunity of talking points and over talk in front of a nation that has seen over 210,000 Americans die from the coronavirus, a hobbled economy and partisan chaos in Washington, D.C.

When asked directly about attending the Rose Garden event that has now been linked to dozens of Covid-19 diagnoses within the White House, with new ones reported every day, Vice President Mike Pence dodged to commend “the American people” on their ability to make good decisions. But the question wasn’t about how the American people deal with the risk of contracting coronavirus. It was about Pence’s own decisions to flout scientific recommendations in order to attend events and photo ops that may have endangered the entire executive branch. Nothing Pence said in the days afterward or during tonight’s debate assured “the American people” that he’s taken the precautions necessary to keep himself and those around him safe.

Kamala Harris and Mike Pence quickly clashed in the vice presidential debate over the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus.
Separated from her rival by plexiglass barriers, Harris called the response — led by Pence as the head of the coronavirus task force — as “the greatest failure of any administration in the history of the country.”
Pence, however, took issue when Harris said that she would not take a vaccine if it is Trump who recommends it.
“I just ask you, stop playing politics with people’s lives,” he said. “The reality is that we will have a vaccine, we believe, before the end of the year and it will have the capacity to save countless American lives.”
But Pence also had to defend what has been happening at the White House in the past week, as dozens of White House staffers have tested positive for the virus along with...

The first and only vice presidential debate between California Sen. Kamala Harris and VP Mike Pence is still on for Wednesday at the University of Utah, but the candidates literally won’t be within spitting distance of each other.
As President Donald Trump prepares to leave Walter Reed Medical Center today amid his bout with coronavirus, teams for Harris and Pence have agreed to a plexiglass barrier between them onstage for the debate. In addition, the recent spread of the potentially fatal virus at the White House has caused the campaigns to agree to their respective candidates standing 13 feet apart during Wednesday’s nationally televised event.
Previously, Pence and Harris were to be seven feet apart, as Trump and Joe Biden were at what may end up being their first and only debate last week. Two days later, Trump revealed he and First Lady Milania Trump had tested positive for the coronavirus,...

President Donald Trump and and former Vice President Joe Biden will square off in-person for the first time on Tuesday, and judging by Trump’s ludicrous insistence that Biden take a drug test prior to taking the stage, it’s probably going to be ugly.
But more concerning than whatever low blows Trump may direct toward Biden’s cognitive ability (which seems to be just fine compared to that of the president), is the sheer volume of lies he’s expected to gargle over the podium as he responds to...

Fox News’ Chris Wallace, NBC News’ Kirsten Welker, and C-span’s Steve Scully will each moderate one of three Presidential Debates leading up to the 2020 election, taking center stage in seminal events in the campaign to win the White House later this year.
The non-profit Commission on Presidential Debates said Wednesday that the three debates would each be 90 minutes long, as would a separate vice-presidential debate moderated by Susan Page of USA Today. The events will start at 9 p.m eastern.
The moderator choices are notable because they do not include what has typically been a staple for events such as these – one of the main evening-news anchors from one of the broadcast networks, or a weekday anchor from a cable-news outlet. NBC News’ Lester Holt, ABC News’ Martha Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Wallace moderated the 2016 presidential debates, while CBS News’ Elaine Quijano moderated that year’s vice-presidential event.

Fox News’ Chris Wallace, C-span’s Steve Scully and NBC News’ Kristen Welker will moderate the three presidential debates between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, and USA Today’s Susan Page will be at the helm for the vice presidential debate.
The Commission on Presidential Debates, a bipartisan group that has organized the debates since 1988, announced the lineup on Wednesday.
Wallace, anchor of Fox News Sunday, will moderate the first presidential debate on Sept. 29 from Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic. He also moderated a presidential debate in 2016. The format will be more traditional, with nine segments of 10 minutes each. The moderator will pose an opening question and the candidates will have two minutes to respond. Then there will be a longer discussion of the segment topic.

David Hogg ripped into USA Today over the paper’s coverage of the shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School and other mass shootings, telling MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell that the iconic broadsheet needed to be “held accountable” for glorifying shooters.
“It was interesting that you just had the USA Today chief editor from Washington D.C. on because they’re one of the worst offenders of that,” Hogg said moments after Mitchell’s interview with USA Today Washington Bureau chief Susan Page. “They’re one of the best news organizations at making mass shooters famous in the first place. They always plaster the shooter’s face everywhere. They always give them several hundred pages of coverage,”
“That’s what the shooters of my school asked for,” Hogg continued. “Organizations like USA Today and others are responsible in that, and they have to realize and be held accountable for these acts.

Surprising many, Nikki Haley resigned as ambassador to the United Nations this morning.
Timing of the announcement raised TV news eyebrows, coming as it does just weeks before the midterm election though Haley, widely regarded as a stabilizing influence on Trump, told reporters at a pop-up White House presser she will stay until the end of the year.
Also among those taken by surprise: National Security Adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Also her staff, who did not get the news until this morning, according to Axios, which first reported Haley’s exit.
President Donald Trump, however, insisted there was nothing to see here, pushing the narrative that Haley raised the idea with him six months ago, though TV news outlets reported she gave him a heads-up last week. In support of his storyline Trump staged today’s White House send-off, though her exit is a couple months off,...
