Jon Stewart slams ABC for firing Terry Moran over Stephen Miller rant
Comedian Jon Stewart ripped ABC as a 'f–kng joke' for firing Terry Moran over the veteran reporter's scathing social media rant against top White House aide Stephen Miller. 'The entire thing is because ABC clings to this facade that they somehow exist in a bubble,' Stewart said Thursday on his podcast 'The Weekly Show.' 'It's a joke. They're a f–king joke,' he added. Advertisement 3 Comedian Jon Stewart, who hosts 'The Daily Show' and his 'The Weekly Show' podcast, blasted the firing of Terry Moran. The Daily Show / YouTube ABC News axed Moran, 65, on Tuesday just two days after the reporter made a social media post blasting Miller as a 'world-class hater' who operates not on 'brains' but on 'bile.' 'We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post – which was a clear violation of ABC News policies – we have made the decision to not renew,' an ABC News spokesperson previously told The Post. His contract was due to expire Friday at the Disney-owned network, The Post previously reported. Advertisement When asked by a listener whether ABC News should have fired Moran, Stewart responded: 'Of course not. So stupid. No, for God's sakes.' 'They shouldn't have paid the $15 million, they shouldn't have fired him,' Stewart said. It was a jab at the network's multi-million dollar settlement with Trump last year over a defamation lawsuit against anchor George Stephanopoulos' inaccurate on-air claim that the president had been found civilly liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll. Advertisement Trump was found liable for sexual assault and defamation against Carroll in two verdicts, not for rape. He has appealed both cases. 3 Veteran ABC News reporter Terry Moran.

AP Moran, who worked at ABC News for 28 years, served as a senior correspondent at the network, where he covered the White House and co-anchored the late-night program 'Nightline.' In April, he landed a coveted interview with Trump. Advertisement He likely made between $600,000 to $900,000 a year, a source previously told The Post. Moran on Wednesday resurfaced his Substack account and vowed to get back to the 'important work' as an independent journalist. His firing came after The Post exclusively reported that ABC News staffers were calling for his head – angered that Moran's attack on Miller could set back progress the network made with the Trump administration in recent months.

'Euphoria' Star Eric Dane Broke Down Over His ALS Diagnosis Not Being 'The End' Of Him In A Heartbreaking New Interview Teaser
In April, Grey's Anatomy and Euphoria star Eric Dane announced that he's been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, saying in a statement to People: 'I have been diagnosed with ALS. I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.' For context, Eric is 52 and shares two teenage daughters, Billie Beatrice and Georgia Geraldine, with his wife, Rebecca Gayheart. Rebecca filed for divorce from Eric in 2018, although in March — a month before his ALS diagnosis was made public — she requested to dismiss her petition. ALS, which is sometimes referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease or motor neurone disease, is a rare neurodegenerative illness that impacts nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing progressive paralysis of the muscles. The disease — for which there is currently no cure — causes people to gradually lose the ability to walk, speak, eat, and breathe independently, although it notably does not impact a person's thinking ability. The life expectancy after a person is diagnosed with ALS can vary between cases; however, according to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, most people with the disease are expected to live for three to five years after diagnosis. That said, everyone's experience with ALS is unique, and some people go on to live for decades. When announcing his diagnosis, Eric expressed gratitude that he's currently in a position to continue working, saying that he's 'looking forward to returning to the set of Euphoria,' which is currently shooting its long-awaited third season. Eddy Chen/HBO Eric stars in the Emmy-winning HBO series as Cal Jacobs, the father of Nate Jacobs, who is played by Jacob Elordi.

It's not a dream.' Related: Here Are 10 Celebs Who've Publicly Admitted The Reasons Why They Regret Ending Their Marriages At one point in the 30-second teaser, Eric and Diane hold hands as he looks visibly emotional. 'I don't think this is the end of my story. I don't feel like this is the end of me,' he says. Good Morning America / ABC Towards the end of the clip, while presumably discussing the immediate aftermath of his diagnosis, Diane asks who the first person was that he called, prompting Eric to break down in tears. Good Morning America / ABC The GMA segment — which airs on Monday — marks Eric's first TV interview since his diagnosis. It comes after he spoke with Variety about the future of his career, saying he feels 'pretty capable' as far as acting is concerned. 'With real respect, I really don't want to talk about it. I made the announcement. That's what's going on with me; it's very personal to me,' he said when asked about his diagnosis. 'I am ready and willing to do just about anything, but I have limitations that I understand will preclude me from playing certain roles. I'm working on Euphoria. I finished Countdown. As far as that goes, I'm pretty capable.' You can watch the GMA teaser here, and this is where you can find his new interview with Variety, in which he also spills on shooting Euphoria Season 3.
