Discovery’s U.S. Networks Group, during the company’s Upfront presentation in New York City. “The Joe Schmo Show” originally ran for 3 seasons on Paramount Global’s channel, Spike. The series poked fun at the reality TV craze by having a regular guy believe he is competing on one. The twist is, his fellow contestants are actually a cast of highly skilled improv comics.

Running between dances, college formals, and seemingly never-ending wedding and engagement parties doesn’t leave much time for snacking. Well, the good folks at Hot Pockets are here to help with their new pocket square.

James’ claim was denied because “the applied-for mark is a commonplace term, message, or expression widely used by a variety of sources that merely conveys an ordinary, familiar, well-recognized concept or sentiment message,” per…

We’re all going to take a tiny rest here and then scratch at ideas about whether there’s a credible way…

Many are comparing Miller’s ad with Bud Light’s celebration of trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney with rainbow beer cans, which also caused cries for a boycott. The issue is Miller’s campaign was announced on March 7th, and Mulvaney didn’t post the Bud Lite can baring her face until April 1st. So if anything, Bud Light is following in Miller Lite’s footsteps, and not the other way around. Since Mulvaney’s post…

Several automakers, including Ford, BMW, and Tesla are doing away with AM radio in their new electric cars. Mainly since electric engines can disrupt AM signals. Ford is taking it one step farther, and eliminating it from all of their gas-powered models, too. The upcoming 2024 Mustang will be the first non-electric vehicle to have this feature removed.  Automakers BMW, Mazda, Polestar, Rivian, Tesla, Volkswagen, and Volvo are removing the AM radio option from their electric vehicles. But Nissan, Toyota, and Honda are partnering with bi-partisan lawmakers to fight the frequency’s forced obsolescence.   With the seemingly endless ways to consume…
