Kelly Ripa has said some unkind things about her ex partner, Regis Philbin. Why? Regis is gone. It's over. He can't defend himself. She is only going to come across as mean, picking on a guy America loved.
Jeopardy! is considering bonus money if a contestant runs a category. The money would NOT count toward the final score. Purists are upset. I don't have a big problem with it.

Linsey Davis is now anchoring the 5 pm ABC Radio News. It's good promotion for her prime time streaming show. In the past, Charlie Gibson and Peter Jennings have been behind the radio microphone at ABC. Back when NBC Radio was in business, it was not uncommon for TV people to do some radio.
David Letterman was on Jimmy Kimmel's show the other night. Dave is still wickedly funny, great at winging it, fantastic story teller.
Cantore comes on the screen, and I reach for the remote. Stephanie Abrams is outstanding. She is information without the hype.

Legendary CBS News correspondent Bill Plante died Wednesday. 84. Most of his CBS time was spent at the White House. Plante held their feet to the fire and he did it fairly.
Michael Kay and John Sterling are catching some heat for the way they called Aaron Judge's 61st home run the other night. Sterling was his usual insufferable self. Kay sounded rehearsed and way too wordy.
Trevor Noah announced yesterday he is leaving The Daily Show after seven years. Any time I watched, I was underwhelmed.
