Last weekend,Busy Philipps announced the cancellationof her E!
She did it as she does most things: on Instagram stories.
This was the strength ofBusy Tonight:the intimacy.
This is when we could REALLY use that period emoji.
The#BusyTonightPeriod Piece couldn’t be more on brand for us!
Sometimes monologue jokes can feel perfunctory on a standard-issue late-night show.
Trump coverage often falls into this category.
The hackiest president results in less-than-stellar material.
Busy Philipps never said Trumps name on her show.
There was no need.
We know whos in office what we dont know is what was with the destination wedding inMade of Honor.
Not mentioning Trump was a deliberate choice on the part of Philipps and showrunner Caissie St. Onge.
Also intentional was the creative staff of 89% women.
I attended a taping ofBusy Tonight,and the atmosphere was unlike any other show Ive seen.
Staffers sat in the back of the audience and playfully heckled Philipps.
The talent coordinator and security guard chatted and hugged.
The security guard complimented my hat, and they gave us wine.
Truly everyone was made to feel welcome.
They just gave her a couple critters and let her go buck wild.
