Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

We can't cancel My Name is Earl.

I know, Studio 60.

And the woman who plays, which

is

very funny for me as a Studio 60 fan, but also the woman who plays Chris Hansen's producer is Merritt Weaver, who plays Matthew Perry's assistant on Studio 60.

So he's canceling Studio 60 in front of one of the recurring cast members of Studio 60.

Again, a very strange experience that only applies to me.

Anyway, let's talk about this episode of Lanterns.

Like the failed Aaron Sorkin show, which he threw the thing over.

We're done with Studio 60.

What are we

doing with Zucker? Is Zucker now a name?

Yeah, I've done, I've done set visits.

I did one once, uh, for Aaron Sorkin's show Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, which is just this infamous bomb, and I had written incredibly negatively about it, and I was recapping it at the time, like, week after week of this.

And so there was a set visit midway through the year for, like, the entire Television Critics Association.

So it's, like, a few dozen people in a room with Aaron Sorkin, and somehow I wind up seated next to him.

uh you didn't even promote the biggest dvd release of the year coming out

here oh yes uh studio 60 on the sunset strip is coming out on on blu-ray but i don't remember the date but that is coming out and i'm very excited for that yeah

that's a must

get

He's basically the lead of the West Wing.

He's basically the lead of Studio 60.

But

he's

this a few good men then trial of chicago seven then which i do like but i think becomes more tedious by the day in my memory yeah i think the fact that sasha byron cohen is in it just really drags it down for me then charlie wilson's war and then final place has to of course be being the ricardo's social reckoning has a very strong chance of being bottom of that list when it comes out It looks so remarkably static.

Now, it could be better than being the Ricardos just by default, but it looks pretty bad.

The TV shows, I think West Wing and Newsroom and Studio 60 all belong in my top 10

shows of

2019 and run 2020 on television.

See, that was just films on television, American Gothic, Jack and Jill, Deadwood, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Cupid, Law and Order Special Victims Unit, American Horror Story, which he has been a part of from 2011 to 2021, American Crime Story, Miss America 2020, Ratched 2020, The Bear 2023, and Hold Your Breath 2024.

She will be back in American Horror Story this upcoming season.

So let's not play that you are... an actress that, you know, well, you know, and she has Tony Awards.

So that's fairly recent.

And that's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

What can you tell us about this?

Well, this is Aaron Sorkin, writer par excellence.
