Jimmy Failla falls asleep each night while watching “The Tonight Show” – with Johnny Carson, not Jimmy Fallon. Failla, host of “FOX News Saturday Night” and the syndicated radio show “FOX Across America,” pines for a time when late-night TV made everyone laugh. Left. Right. Center. Democrat. Republican. It’s why his “Saturday Night” showcase eschews …

Media Freaks Over Ben Shapiro/Tom MacDonald’s ‘Facts’ Rap
You don’t need a degree in journalism to spot media bias. Just read the adjectives used in any given story. If an actor gives a Climate Change speech at an awards show, expect to see words like “fiery” or “powerful” attached to the news coverage. It’s an undeniable tell. You don’t have to look that …

‘Argylle’ Is Great, Terrible, Funny, Confusing and Way Too Long
Your opinion of “Argylle” may vary from scene to scene, revelation to revelation. And, of course, it helps if you’re a cat person.

‘SNL’ Ignores Biden’s Gibberish, Invents Attack on Trump
You don’t need to make stuff up to mock President Donald Trump. He’s larger than life, plays fast and loose with the facts and says the meanest things about his foes.

Conservatives have learned to loathe trigger warnings and for very good reasons. They’ve been slapped on everything from old Disney cartoons to James Bond adventures. Are we suddenly so fragile that we can’t watch “Dumbo” or “Goldfinger” without suffering emotional distress? Apparently so, according to Disney+ and the British Film Institute, respectively.
