And you definitely should not feel dumb about that because one... of the brightest CEOs in the business, Discovery’s David Zaslav, doesn’t quite get it either.

The difference in satisfaction between no commercials and three minutes is very low. Three...

Stephen Colbert hosted “The Late Show” in front of a live studio audience for the first time since the pandemic began on Monday. But before he could finally kick off that post-pandemic milestone,... he needed a little help remembering a crucial component of being on TV: Not exposing your junk.
