Westside Tory, Hollywood’s Worst Deals, Harris Campaign Murmurs
|
|
Welcome back to The Daily Courant, your pocket guide to Puck’s latest reporting.
First up today, John Ourand evaluates the legal quagmire surrounding Venu, the WBD-Fox-Disney sports streamer, after a preliminary injunction halted its debut on the cusp of the NFL season. Will this thing ever launch, or is it destined to go the way of New Coke or Quibi?
Plus, below the fold: Peter Hamby reports from Chicago on the lingering bitterness within Biden’s inner circle. Lauren Sherman converses with Tory Burch about her new fragrance and evolving business strategy. Lesley Goldberg circles the most abysmal showrunner deals of Hollywood’s Peak TV era. On Fashion People, Lauren rings up uberstylist Kate Young to contemplate the future of Victoria’s Secret and fact-check Emily in Paris. On The Town, Matt Belloni and CNBC’s Alex Sherman discuss the winners and losers of the Venu ruling. And live from the convention floor, Tara Palmeri chats with frontliner Pat Ryan about Kamala Harris’s campaign messaging, while Peter and Abby Livingston zoom out to assess the broader political landscape.

For your Emmy Consideration, the show that NPR called “the goat of late-night satire” is nominated for seven Emmy awards, including Outstanding Talk Series. That’s right, once again, Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, “late night’s most vital and influential program,” is making news!
Jon Stewart’s got us all looking forward to Monday night as he kicks off each weekend behind the desk. And with November getting closer by the day, he and his fellow hosts are helping us all make sense of the nonsense this election season. It’s like “a nightly check-in with your smartest friend,” according to The New Yorker. With a packed lineup behind the iconic desk, The Daily Show is truly the most hosted show in late night.
