NOTHING BUT THE TRUTHINESS: A HISTORY OF TELEVISION NEWS PARODY AND ITS ENTRY INTO THE JOURNALISTIC FIELD by CURT HERSEY Under the Direction of Ted Friedman ABSTRACT The relationship between humor and politics has been a frequently discussed issue for communication researchers in the new millennium. The rise and success of shows like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report force a reevaluation of the relationship between journalism and politics. Through archival research of scripts, programs, and surrounding discourses this dissertation looks to the past and historicizes news parody as a distinct genre on American television. Since the 1960s several programs on network and cable parodied mainstream newscasts and newsmakers. More recent eXamples of this genre circulate within the same discursive field as traditional television news, thereby functioning both as news in their own right and as a corrective to traditional journalism grounded in practices of objectivity.

Revenue is also the most important and intuitionistic feedback to producers, directors and actors. Therefore it is worth for us to put effort on analyzing what factors correlate to revenue, so that producers, directors and actors know how to get higher revenue on next movie by focusing on most correlated factors. Our project focuses on anaylzing all kinds of factors that correlated to revenue, for example, genres, elements in the movie, popularity, release month, runtime, vote average, vote count on website and cast etc. After analysis, we can clearly know what are the crucial factors to a movie's revenue and our analysis can be used as a guide for people shooting movies who want to earn higher renveue for their next movie. They can focus on those most correlated factors, for example, shooting specific genre and hire some actors who have higher average revenue. Reasrch Question: Various factors blend together to create a high revenue for movie, but what are the most important aspect contribute to higher revenue? What aspects should people put more effort on and what factors should people focus on when they try to higher the revenue of a movie? http://localhost:8888/nbconvert/html/Desktop/MyProjects/Pr_085/FinalProject.ipynb?download=false Page 1 of 62 FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM Hypothesis: We predict that the following factors contribute the most to movie revenue.

  • Will Forte's 'Macgruber' Lands at Peacock As a Series
    Will Forte's 'MacGruber' Lands at Peacock as a Series 08.10.2020 NBCUniversal's new streaming service, Peacock, is tapping its established comedy crew for three new series, while Amber Ruffin and Larry Wilmore will host back-to-back weekly late-night talkers, the company said Monday at the virtual Television Critics Association press tour. Two Saturday Night Live vets-Tina Fey and Will Forte-will executive produce new series on the service. Forte is bringing back MacGruber, a spoof on classic TV's MacGyver, after first debuting the character on Saturday Night Live and then turning the ongoing skit into a feature film in 2010. The eight-episode series will be directed by original director, Lonely Island's Jorma Taccone, who also wrote the skit on SNL. Forte's SNL castmate Kirsten Wiig is due to return as MacGruber's love interest. The above trailer cleverly cobbles together stock footage with socially-distanced takes of Forte in character on a rock by the beach at sunset. MacGruber is expected to premiere on Peacock in 2021. Forte serves as writer and executive producer alongside John Solomon and Taccone. Lorne Michaels, John Goldwyn, Andrew Singer and Erin David also serve as executive producers. MacGruber is from Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Broadway Video. Another famous SNL alum, Tina Fey, is again partnering with Robert Carlock (30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) on Girls5eva starring Sara Bareilles, who is just coming off of composing the soundtrack and producing Apple TV+'s Little Voice. Bareilles stars as a member of a 90s girl group that returns to fame when they get sampled by a famous rapper, but now they have middle-aged things to deal with like kids, mortgages and so forth.

Caron, professor at the University of Hawaii, contributor to the Journal of Studies in American Humor and author of “The Quantum Paradox of Truthiness: Satire, Activism, and the Postmodern Condition” for sending me his article free of charge. Professor Caron has been most accommodating, and his work regarding the distinction between comedy and politics has been most helpful. Without his ideas this thesis would have been not as good. I would also like to extend my thanks to Prof. dr. Frank Mehring of the Radboud University for his guidance during this thesis, as without his notes and literature suggestions this thesis would never have taken shape at all. Setting high standards, he urged me to make the best thesis I could possibly make.

Thanks so much for coming. Christopher Albrecht - Starz - Chief Executive Officer & Director Thanks, [Drew]. Unidentified Participant So look why don't we start out, I am sure have been asking everybody, he's had a long and industrious career, he used to run HBO, now running a public company. So what are your goals and targets right now, what would define professional success for you when you look forward? Christopher Albrecht - Starz - Chief Executive Officer & Director Look, I think one of the good things about being a Public Company's CEO is that it helps really narrow your focus on what you're trying to do, which is grow shareholder value and increase shareholder value, make the company more valuable for the people that invest. Obviously there is different ways to do that. But every decision that we think about, every decision that we make has helped us against that goal.
