The White House is feuding with ‘The View.' Here's why.
From late-night show hosts to the animated sitcom South Park, the feud between President Donald Trump and the entertainment industry shows no signs of slowing down. Now the administration finds itself in a dispute with ABC's 'The View' after a White House spokesperson suggested the long-time talk show could be coming to an end. The comment comes after CBS canceled late-night comedy 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' after 33 years, a decision Trump celebrated on social media. During a July 23 episode, co-host Joy Behar said Trump is jealous of former President Barack Obama because 'Obama is everything that he is not.' She added that, unlike Trump, Obama is 'trim, smart, handsome, happily married, and can sing Al Green's song 'Let's Stay Together' better than Al Green. And Trump cannot stand it. It's driving him crazy.' Following the dig, White House Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers referred to Behar as 'an irrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.' 'It's no surprise that The View's ratings hit an all-time low last year. She should self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump's historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off air,' Rogers said in a statement. USA TODAY has reached out to representatives of 'The View' for comment on Rogers' statement. When asked for a comment on behalf of Behar, her manager Bill Stankey told USA TODAY, 'On behalf of me……..Release the Epstein files.' In May, Attorney General Pam Bondi had reportedly told Trump that his name appears several times throughout the criminal case files on the late financier and convicted sex offender Epstein, according to CNN and the Wall Street Journal. How did this start? The latest tension between the White House and 'The View' started after an Oval Office meeting with Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos on July 22, when Trump accused Obama of treason. The president called the Democrat a 'ringleader,' adding that his actions were 'seditious.' Later that day, Obama addressed a July 18 report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence that claimed the former president 'manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup' against Trump's presidential victory against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016. Obama also said he supported the U.S. intelligence community's conclusion that Russia tried to influence the 2016 election. He dismissed the allegations against him, calling them the typical 'nonsense and misinformation' emerging from the Trump White House. On the next morning's episode of 'The View,' Behar defended Obama with a sly remark against Trump regarding the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. 'First of all, who tried to overthrow the government on Jan. 6? Who was that again? That was not Obama,' she quipped. Late-night talk show hosts also make jabs at Trump Before the beef with Behar, Trump was at odds with his usual late-night foes, starting with Colbert, who during a July 17 episode announced that 'The Late Show' would be ending in May 2026. 'I absolutely love that Colbert' got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,' Trump wrote on Truth Social July 18. He later made a jab at ABC's Jimmy Kimmel, insinuating that his show would be the next to end and that he 'has even less talent than Colbert.' Kicking off his July 21 episode monologue, Colbert asked, 'How dare you, sir?' 'Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism? Go (expletive) yourself,' Colbert said. Trump fired back on a July 22 Truth Social post, writing: 'The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, (Jimmy) Fallon will be gone.' 'These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television. It's really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!' the president wrote. Fallon's show is slated to continue until at least the end of 2028 when his contract with NBCUniversal ends. In 2022, Kimmel extended his contract through his show's current 23rd season.

And Just Like That EPs Admit to Hesitating Over Carrie and Aidan's Big Decision: ‘Are We Making a Mistake?'
Warning: This post contains spoilers for Thursday's . And just like that… Carrie and Aidan are no more. (Again.) More from TVLine Washington Black's Sterling K. Brown and Ernest Kingsley Junior Revel in the 'Brotherhood and Mentorship' Hulu's Historical Drama Gave Them Outlander Spinoff Cast on Why Blood of My Blood Makes Claire's Journey in the Original Series Even More 'Tragic' Alien: Earth Boss Talks Bringing the Sci-Fi Franchise to TV - and Down to Earth for the First Time In Thursday's episode of And Just Like That…, Carrie began to bristle over the jealousy she saw Aidan directing towards her new writing buddy Duncan. (Aidan even kicked her out of bed when she smelled like smoke. A Big flashback, perhaps?) Carrie later confronted Aidan, and he admitted that he still has trust issues stemming from her affair with Big back on Sex and the City. 'How is it possible that I haven't earned your trust by now?' Carrie wondered, adding that 'I was one hundred percent in.' Emphasis on 'was.' The two agreed to end things, sharing a sad hug before Carrie took comfort in a round of drinks with her gal pals. The decision for Carrie and Aidan to break up was made 'pretty early on' in the And Just Like That writers' room this season, executive producer Elisa Zuritsky tells TVLine, adding that 'it wasn't a fiery debate in the room. I think it really came down to the way the previous season ended, with Aidan's family proving to be such an obstacle.' The writers 'really did want to play it out in the real world and think of [Carrie and Aidan] as real people, and take them out of the fantasy Disney prince and princess happy ending that we were kind of playing with in Season 2. It did feel like too much to ask of those two people, especially with their baggage.' That baggage includes some very old bags still left over from Carrie's dalliance with Big a quarter-century ago on Sex and the City, fellow EP Julie Rottenberg — who wrote with Zuritsky on SATC as well — notes. Carrie and Aidan 'are, in many ways, maybe older, wiser people' now, but 'what comes out in that last scene, in a way, it's like everything that's always right under the surface. It all boils down to that.' (Remember, Aidan wouldn't set foot in Carrie's old apartment last season because of the memories it stirred up.) In the end, 'I think we all knew their problems were systemic enough that they would not survive,' Rottenberg says. That's not to say it was an easy decision to make, though. 'When it came closer and closer to shooting that scene, the breakup scene,' Rottenberg remembers, 'and I think part of it is Sarah Jessica [Parker] and John Corbett have such an incredible bond and chemistry and relationship as both actors and as the characters, I did start to worry. I got a little panicky. 'Should we not be doing this? Should we not be breaking them up?'… I remember feeling a little panicked as it got closer, like: 'Are we making a mistake?' I almost felt like I was in the breakup!' But the writers made sure to plant seeds throughout the season leading to the split, Zuritsky points out: 'Knowing that at some point towards the end of the season we were going to break them up, we had to spend most of our time really getting into: What are the stepping stones to earn this mutual giving up? Really, no one breaks up with the other. They kind of reach a moment where they have to admit that they both feel exhausted by the trying of it. It took a lot of time to build the fracture that became the break.' So does that break mean there's now an opening for Duncan in Carrie's heart? Is she even ready to consider a new romance at this point? Rottenberg will only say that it's 'an excellent question' — and we've got three more episodes left in Season 3 to find out the answer. Tell us in the comments, fans: How do you feel about Carrie and Aidan's breakup? And do you think Duncan is a better match for her?

Big Brother Recap: Who Didn't Survive Jimmy's Chaotic HOH Reign?
Drama erupted inside the Big Brother house this week and while we're certainly living for it, our boy Jimmy most definitely is not. Two powers were activated this week causing HOH Jimmy to nominate a fourth and fifth houseguest for eviction. After BB20 winner Kaycee Clark was called in to compete in the veto comp, winning safety for Keanu, Kelley then used her power in order to secure herself the week's second veto. When all of the dust settled, original nominee Adrian was joined by new noms Amy and Will. More from TVLine Big Brother: Unlocked: Which Two Former Houseguests Are Hosting Season 27's Companion Series? Big Brother Recap: Who Was the First Houseguest Booted From Season 27? Dexter: Resurrection's Michael C. Hall Says Premiere's Surprise Cameos Were the 'Best Way to Start' - Who Came Back? So who won the BB Blockbuster and who was evicted from the house? Let's break down the night's events, shall we? THE STRATEGY | While Jimmy has solid allies in the house, everyone seems to agree that putting Will on the block was (and I'm quoting) a 'bitch-ass move.' (I mean, the guy's HOH has been all mess.) The Burger Boys know they must keep Adrian, but Rachel is looking to protect her ally, Amy. Two of the younger 20-somethings who are apparently named :::checks notes::: Lauren and Katherine want Amy gone, mostly because that would be an indirect shot at Rachel. Vince and Kelley don't disagree. Morgan and Mickey (who, to me, are one of the more interesting duos in the house, especially if you've been following their live feed strategy sessions), want to keep Will in the house in order to pull him closer. Rachel goes to bat for Amy, telling everyone that Adrian will give them all a run for their money in future comps and votes. Then, the BB13 winner does what she does best: Intimidate the newbies. Or at least Morgan, who really, really doesn't want to anger the self-imposed BB queen. But it's aaaall going to come down to the BB Blockbuster. THE BLOCKBUSTER | In the 'Puzzling Prints' comp, the nominees must complete a puzzle of a fingerprint. Adrian throws a bulk of his pieces right onto his board and makes quick work of the border. From there, the San Antonio carpenter is just too speedy to catch. Adrian finishes his puzzle and smashes his buzzer, thereby officially saving himself from the block. THE VOTE | Without sparing a single moment, the color-coordinated cast learns they'll be deciding between Amy and Will. But as the camera zooms in close on Amy and Rachel's loooong hug, it seems the women already know which way the cookie's gonna crumble. And when the votes come in, even Rachel votes out her bestie, and Amy is evicted 13-0. On her way out the door, she yells to her fellow houseguests, 'Get Jimmy out! He's a snake and a liar!' Did the right person go home? Who were rooting for? Light up the comments with your thoughts!
