THE SHOWS 

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

Okay, back on track. This week Jerry was in a Porsche 911 driving around LA with Garry Shandling and all was right in the world. Garry and Jerry visited The Comedy Store, where they both started out together and then the CBS lot where they both filmed their shows right across from one another in the 90's. I had no idea they had lived such parallel lives and that they were such close friends. Highlight for me was the Kvetch-o-Meter. Hilarious. I couldn't decide if Garry's not aging well or if he had a pretty bad face lift. Let me know what you think.

Lip Sync Battle
Now this is what I'm talking about. Anthony Anderson and his overacting TV wife, Tracee Ross Ellis went head to head and guess what? They both brought their A game. Neither of them needed microphones because their lips were movin...CORRECTLY!  Their dance moves were on point and Tracee Ross Ellis's eye issue wasn't present at all.

THE OTHER STUFF

-Facebook unveiled a destination hub for sports events yesterday . The idea is to make consumers feel like they're watching the game with a group of friends virtually. Sports Stadium  will aggregate all the content on Facebook related to the game in one place and order it chronologically. It will include posts from friends, commentary from experts like teams, leagues and journalists, live scores, stats, play-by-plays and info about where to watch the game. Currently, Facebook has 1.55 billion monthly active users and according to them…650 million are sports fans. Is ESPN nervous?

-I guess Dick Wolf spends all his time on the shows and not on the titles. First there was all the Law & Orders and now there are all the Chicago shows.  Chicago Fire, then Chicago Med and Chicago PD and now, fill in the blank . Dick Wolf's new Chicago edition will be called Chicago_________? Bonus points if you get it right. 

-Check out James Cordon and Sean Hayes playing Bieber's "Sorry" on the foot piano! Too funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mUYfJn2vLc
