Project Greenlight’s latest episode was entitled “Hot Ghetto Mess,” which didn’t appear to refer to anything in an episode that focused largely on producer Effie Brown trying to ensure the creators of The Leisure Class didn’t stereotype the sole person of color in its class.
This season of Project Greenlight has been troubled from the beginning. Its racial subtext has weighted heavily in the corner of clueless white people, with producer Effie Brown having to bear the brunt of said cluelessness.

John Oliver’s televangelism stunt—in which he and Last Week Tonight created their own bullshit “church,” Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption, and filed for tax-free status on asinine and apparently perfectly permissible grounds—has already racked up quite a few donations.
Last Week Tonight is like Sesame Street for adults. That’s not because John Oliver would make one hell of a muppet (he would), but because just like the children’s programming we used to love, watching this show is so much fun you don’t even realize you’re learning about the fact that 31 states still allow firing or…

In a period of just four months in 2012, she was diagnosed with an intestinal disease and breast cancer, had a double mastectomy, dealt with her mother’s death and ended a relationship.

7 Days in the Hell, the HBO mockumentary about Wimbledon starring Andy Samberg and Kit Harington, is a fun romp that starts off weird and gets progressively more insane over the span of its smartly brief 45-minute run.
