Episode 37 -- Has-Beens and Jerks
•
Jay Black
American Idol had an audience of 38 million a generation ago for its season 2 finale. On Sunday night, it got under 6 million for the last show of the 2023 season. Why is it still on? And why do TV sports broadcasts continue to glorify people we know are jerks? (We name names.) Also Rhea gives us tips for British TV and teens, and Angelo has some great news about two shows that you will love (he hopes.) . Also, don't forget to watch the final episode of Succession on Sunday night. Jay Black will be back next week to obsess over it.
