On Syndication
A high-energy, irreverent daily gossip newsmagazine that treats celebrity mishaps and scandals as comedy fodder, sustained by sarcasm and mockery rather than warmth.
Based on the popular gossip website, this entertainment newsmagazine delivers daily updates on Hollywood's rich, beautiful and screwed-up. The program often shows highlights of the day's staff meeting during which reporters pitch ideas for stories to air that day.
