The Scoop for April 1, 2020

Larry David is the latest celeb to ask people to shelter in place. And it makes sense, Larry is getting up there in age and is a little more vulnerable, so I get it. So he recommends not seeing anybody, with one exception.
You can see the plumber.
Makes sense. I mean, why get all that toilet paper if you can’t use it, right?


Some jobs are easier to do from home than others. Thanks to a little technical wizardry, I’m able to be in an empty bedroom right now. But when you’re Joe Buck and you’re a sports play by play guy and there are no sports, then it’s a bit tougher. So Joe had people send him videos he could call, like this one of a guy playing beer pong.

I mean, you know Joe used to do that back in his college days at the frat house. You know he did.


New York Governor Andrew Cuomo talked about how his brother, CNN’s Chris Cuomo, has tested positive for the coronavirus. And he did it in the most brotherly way possible.
“He’s going to be fine. He’s young… strong. Not as strong as he thinks, but.”
Because of course he would say that about his brother.

“Game of Thrones” star Emilia Clarke is offering YOU the chance to have a virtual dinner with the Mother of Dragons . . . for charity.
