Well, It's Good News to Him

quote:

Krasinski will be replaced as the host (though he will stay on as an executive producer and will have some kind of “on-air presence), and CBS All Access will exclusively have the “first window” for new episodes of the show before it moves on to other platforms in the ViacomCBS family—i.e. not YouTube. 


How anyone would think the premise would continue to work behind a paywall and most importantly, without Krasinski is mind boggling.

I've never watched one but couldn't they just rip it off instead of buy it?

He sold the concept and name. I doubt that he wanted to do this thing for a few years. Not a case of replacing him, he probably wasn't a part of the deal.

This. They'll get some eyes based on the subscribers they have, but they will lost literally anyone not on CBS All Access.

This is going to be a painful few years of the streaming wars.

Can't talk bad about the guy because his wife comes across as a 1st rate count/snob. So he probably needs these projects to stay busy away from her and make more money.

I saw her on a show once with Kasinski and she was complaining how her kids often speek in that awful American accent and pronunciation and she has to correct them.

And they asked her what's one thing that drives you crazy about your husband and she says "he's always wearing those bloody awful ball caps...you know the ones that little boys wear in the field."

Bitch, you've been in this country how long? And you don't know what fricking baseball is?

You ever think celebrities just talk shite because they're bored of all the stupid questions they get asked over and over and over again? Hell, I give purposefully retarded answers to retarded questions every day and I get asked 1/1000th of the questions they get asked.

She comes across as a British snob...she could just be talking shite but I've seen other interviews too...even how John explains how he got her, she was initially snobby to him.

So you saw her joking once and now she's a bitch? She's considered one of the most charming people in Hollywood. Because she rarely takes herself seriously.

Because CBS All Access is a stupid venture but they need content. IF CBS is basically buying some views that will come with just the name recognition, how bad must their numbers really be?

I'm guessing total dumpster fire and this will just add to the fire.

Jim halbert is what the OT might refer to as a simp cuck bitch...and for once I think I’d agree.

Absolute state of a person having to feign interest in the art of some homely bitch just to get a piece.

I don’t blame him. What I’m sure was some silly way to keep himself entertained ended up making him some money. Nice.

Is kinda crazy how John kransanski has completely changed his image in a way. Agreed Jim while funny was extremely beta.
Now after 13 hours, Jack ryan and marrying Emily blunt he is a man to respect
