The Scoop for July 29, 2020

Normally, getting nominated for an Emmy is a pretty big deal. But when Leslie Jones told Laverne Cox she was nominated for an Emmy yesterday, it got a little weird.
To be fair, this was all through Skype or Zoom or some such, so it was weird any way. And to be honest, if someone told me I was nominated for the Radio Emmy’s, which aren’t even a thing, I probably wouldn’t believe them at first either.


Michael Che from Saturday Night Live came up with a pretty genious way to find a home in a neighborhood he would like. He hopped on Zillow and searched for this one particular thing.
He used Zillow and mapped out all the Whole Foods Stores.
I did the same thing, but I marked all the comic book stores.


Jerry O’Connell has had some great roles, like Stand By Me, Jerry Maguire, and that Sliders TV Show. But according to his kids, his greatest performance was . . . Mariah Carey’s 1999 video for “Heartbreaker”.
He plays her two-timing boyfriend. And honestly, I forgot how epic that video was.
