The Scoop for Nov. 26, 2018

Look, we all have crazy parents. That’s just how it is. But Jerry Seinfeld told a story about something his mom would do when he wanted to play outside but she had stuff to do inside. She would tie a rope around his waist, and the other end to the garage door. See, if my mom did that, I’d be the kid sitting at the end of the driveway, tied to the garage, just sitting there. Heck, if my mom had thought of that, I’d probably still be tied to the garage today.

Michael Jordan’s hometown of Wilminton, Noth Carolina was torn up by Hurricane Florence in September and it’s still a mess. So Michael stopped by on Thanksgiving to hand out meals. He said he was happy to help out his fellow “Wilmintonians”.
That always sounds weird to me. When people are labeled by a city. Wimintonians. What are we? Champaigners? Urbanaites? Savoyeurs? That’s just weird.

Tim Allen was reflecting back on his role as Santa in The Santa Clause, and thought he was the last person to be playing Santa. Why? Because he, quote, “I don’t like kids so much. Love the movie though.” You mean the paycheck? He totally means the paycheck.

Bonus Scoopage:
ABC has decided against giving Eden Sher her own spinoff of The Middle” after all. The network confirmed to Variety that it dropped the project after taping a pilot episode with Eden Sher as her young adult character Sue Heck. A source said the show’s producers may try to shop it around to other networks.
