The comedy marketplace is coming off a tough year with few buys and even fewer greenlights as the number of networks and platforms focused on comedy fare shrunk further with Amazon Freevee’s shutdown after Comedy Central, TBS, TruTV and IFC had all gotten out of the live-action scripted comedy business over the last couple of years. The broadcast networks produce a fraction of the comedy output they had just a decade ago, and streamers prioritize noisy dramas over comedies in pursuit of subscriber acquisition and retention.

Amid the pullback, HBO has spent the last year rebuilding its comedy slate after the departure of stalwarts like Curb Your Enthusiasm and Barry. In 2024, the network ordered two comedy pilots from writer-performers, Tim Robinson’s The Chair Company and an untitled Rachel Sennott half-hour, both of which were picked up to series that are currently being written. Additionally, HBO last May gave...

Kristin Cavallari's ex-boyfriend, Jeff Dye, recently went on Adam Carolla's podcast to again blame her Let's Be Honest podcast for his October 2023 DUI arrest and it isn't the first time.

As we've recently reported, Kristin is living her best life, and even managed to have an almost enviable breakup this year.

Kristin called her now-ex Mark Estes "the best boyfriend" she's ever had, and said she ended things to give him space and time to experience his life Mark, 24, is more than a decade younger than the former Laguna Beach star.

Incidentally, Jeff threw shade at her for that relationship in his comments to Adam Carolla, calling Mark "some 21-year-old" in his rant.

Earlier this month, Kristin did a very intense podcast episode with Bobby Flay, and they comfortably joked about a dating-related misunderstanding after Bobby hit her up via Dm.

The King of Queens successfully introduced fans to Doug and Carrie Heffernan, a couple trying to live an easy life while also juggling work and Carrie's insane father, Arthur Spooner. Together with this couple, the show welcomed a talented secondary cast, including Deacon Palmer and Spencer Olchin. As such, The King of Queens was an instant hit due to its relatable characters and unique depiction of New York.

One of Doug's oldest friends, Richie Iannucci, was a key part of the first three seasons, adding a touch of comic relief to even the show's darkest moments. Though he wasn't a part of Ips, he still allowed fans to get a glimpse into Doug's slightly humiliating past. But, halfway through Season 3, the character disappeared, and many fans still wonder why he decided to leave the hit sitcom so abruptly.
