City’s ‘Age’ of cops & robbers
HBO’s “The Gilded Age” has grabbed gilded ratings. In it robber baron character George Russell gets shot. Surviving, he orders a private investigation to see who tried knocking him off.
Attention. This is based on the actual attempted knockoff of actual financier Russell Sage, a character in the show and a Russell adversary. Ask not how I know this. I know this.
In real life, who’d have investigated this crime was tough, rough ruthless big-time NY crime fighter Thomas Byrnes. He started NYPD’s Detective Bureau, coined phrases like “the third degree” and “rogues gallery” then rose to be NYPD Police Commissioner. Byrnes then got dumped by Teddy Roosevelt. Ask not how I know this, I know this.
This town has had many interesting commissioners and pols and execs and mayors and jailhouse residents — and maybe not mayors and maybe too late for Julian Fellowes to maybe include him as a maybe character maybe — I’m only suggesting. He shone brighter than what could glitter as one of the season’s characters.
I know a little about this. I once had goodies stolen. My husband who’d starred in every nightclub between here and Vladivostok knew all the clubs. And owners. Who he exactly called, I didn’t know. He never told me. He knew whoever needed to be known — and maybe was temporarily on parole — one phone call. One, only one. The whole stash was returned intact the following morning.
Just sayin’. Thomas Byrnes was the bright light in the real Gilded Age.
Leo’s ‘Knife’ finally comes out
Melissa Leo — won an Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe, SAG, Critics Choice awards — calls to say her newie movie, which got filmed years ago, “The Knife” is finally now in theaters.
“We’re across the country,” she says. “We filmed in 2021 and it’s just now coming out.
“We shot all through the night. Four weeks. A single set. An incident at a black person’s home in Pomona, Calif. A detective’s called. Taut drama. The family’s life is in disarray. There are racial fears. It’s basically a the-worst-day-of-your-life type thing. It’s a tough whodunit thriller.”
Hey, get happy
So, listen, what happened to niceness? Happiness. Laughter. Judy Garland-type musical movies? Where everyone liked everyone? Singing, dancing, handsome Clark Gable stuff? Marilyn Monroe things where her dress blew up behind her behind. Everything now is killing, stabbing, drugs, murder or even worse — political! And our side’s losing!
Yukky show
The hunt is on for new comedians. Netflix and Kevin Hart are scratching around for them. New comedy competition series. From crappy open mikes to crappier bombed out sets. It’s scratching for eight shows. Premiere’s 2026. Producer’s Hartbeat, an entertainment company that’s handling almost every unemployed clown around except Slamdani, who stays wholly sponsored by the unemployed maggot party, Hunter Biden’s previous supplier and whoever selects the wardrobe of Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld.
Ms. Velveeta?
Cocktail party: Him: “Come a little closer, my love. I’m going to make you melt in my arms.”
Her: “No, thanks. I’m not that soft and you’re not that hot.”
Bushwick. Sanitation removal truck sign: “Guarantee. If dissatisfied with our methods, you will receive double your garbage back.” Voters now looking to paste it onto City Hall walls.
Only in New York, kids, only in New York.
