Ethel Cain has spoken out about her experience of gaining more fans and online attention since the release of her debut album last year.The alt-pop singer – who released her first album ‘Preacher’s Daughter’ in May last year – said that she began to feel like “a dancing monkey in a circus” as more memes and jokes about her public image began to circulate online.“It’s very like, ‘Oh, she’s so funny on Twitter, she’s so relatable’ and then it becomes this big weird joke cycle,” she told The Guardian in a new interview.In the past the singer participated in jokes and online exchanges around her southern, gothic persona, along with discussions about her featuring in campaigns for the likes of Givenchy, Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs.She went on: “Don’t get me wrong, laughter and memes and jokes are always really fun. But when you want to post something to be consumed seriously, people are still joking – and then you get like, thousands of comments that are like, ‘silly goose’.
‘Let’s Make a Deal,’ ‘Password’ Producer John Quinn on Game Moving to Primetime Emmys: ‘It Feels Like I’m Getting Invited to the Big Kids’ Table’
25.06.2023 - 18:07 / variety.com
Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Up until now, game shows that aired before 8 p.m. competed in a dedicated category at the Daytime Emmys (where “Jeopardy” has won six times over the past decade). Meanwhile, the Primetime Emmys lumped game shows that ran after 8 p.m. in with competition reality series like “Survivor” and “Top Chef.”
Now, a pure game show category that includes both daytime and primetime shows in one place could shake things up. Fremantle’s John Quinn, the exec producer and showrunner on CBS’ “Let’s Make a Deal,” NBC’s “Password” and ABC’s “Press Your Luck,” is giddy over the move. “To get a category for game shows, as well as game show hosts, in primetime is the biggest deal in the world to a game show guy like me,” he says. “It’s my Super Bowl.” Quinn is excited because this finally gives primetime gamers like “Press Your Luck” a real shot at an Emmy nomination. “It’s all the buzz in my game show world,” Quinn says. “How is this going to shake out? Who’s going to be nominated? Is it going to be ‘Jeopardy’ and ‘Price Is Right’ because they’re up every year? Or can one of like the newcomer primetimers do it?” The decision to move the outstanding game show and outstanding game show host categories — which had been a part of the Daytime Emmys since that awards show launched in 1974 — to primetime comes out of an ongoing realignment of genres and categories across the various Emmy shows. Game shows are actually nothing new at the Primetime Emmys; in the 1950s, a category known as “best audience participation, quiz or panel program” awarded series like “What’s My Line?” and “The $64,000 Question.” And as a reminder how timeless these formats are, earlier editions of shows like “The Price Is
‘The Bear’ Culinary Producer Courtney Storer on How Her Restaurant Burnout Impacts the Story: ‘It Feels Like Art Therapy’
Selome Hailu “The Bear” became an overnight sensation when its first season debuted in 2022 because of its visceral honesty about how it looks and feels to work in a restaurant. Much of the credit for that belongs to Courtney Storer. Storer, sister of series creator Chris Storer, has worked in high-profile kitchens from Verjus in Paris to Jon & Vinny’s in L.A., but her most recent job has been to serve as “The Bear’s” culinary producer, getting the writers, cast and crew acclimated to the world the series takes place in. “In Season 1, it was it was a lot of storytelling with the writers, but also providing my journals and different training guides to give insight into the ethos of restaurants,” Storer says. “It’s bigger than the conflicts: It’s the decision-making, the structure, the procedures, the recipes.”

As Emmy Voting Ends, ‘Mo,’ ‘Reservation Dogs,’ Josh Segarra and a Few More Last Minute Choices to Consider
Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large If this year’s Emmy ballots are any indication, the era of Peak TV may truly be over — which FX boss John Landgraf has of course been predicting for some time. There are 163 dramas, 95 comedies and 51 limited/anthology series that have been submitted — down from 171 dramas, 118 comedies and 61 limited/anthology series last year. That’s still a lot of TV, but with fewer contenders comes the possibility of more dark horses getting noticed.

New Emmy Rules for Late-Night and Talk Series Cause Confusion, Pit ‘Last Week Tonight’ Against ‘SNL’
Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large The decision to realign “variety talk” and “variety sketch” this year into “talk” and “scripted variety” didn’t do much to change that. If anything, it further narrowed the field, as perennial variety talk winner “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” has now been kicked over to scripted variety. As a result, my colleague Clayton Davis counts only 14 series eligible for the outstanding talk nomination. And it’s not much better in scripted variety, where just 10 shows appear to be eligible.

Rob Lowe on Future ‘9-1-1’ Crossovers, Why He Should Get Credit for Dick Wolf’s Success and His ‘The Grinder’ Reboot Dreams
Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large “Law & Order” fans, you have Rob Lowe to thank for the entire franchise. As does Dick Wolf’s bank account. At least, Lowe says with his tongue a bit in cheek (but also with some accuracy). As the star of Fox’s “9-1-1: Lone Star” and Netflix’s “Unstable” recently told Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast, Lowe starred in Wolf’s 1988 feature flop “Masquerade.” It was just the kind of movie disappointment that would have sent Wolf back to TV — and two years later, “Law & Order” premiered. “I remember him saying to me how frustrated he was in the movie business, that he was going to write a pilot,” Lowe said. “And he wrote ‘Law and Order.’ And the rest is history. You’re welcome. Yeah, I’m happy to provide the bomb that powers your rise to dominance.”
‘Jeopardy’ Versus ‘Is It Cake?’ Which Game Shows Could Break Into New Primetime Emmys Category?
Hunter Ingram It’s all fun and games until the Emmys start handing out awards. Then the real competition begins. This year, the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards will present its first statue for outstanding game show. Previously, game shows were honored during the Daytime Emmys, where “Jeopardy” has claimed 11 of the last 20 years of awards. But in 2021, the New York-based National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, which handles the Daytime Emmys, and the L.A.-based Television Academy, which handles the Primetime Emmys, decided to bring game shows into the primetime heat.

Inside the Emmys Uproar Over ‘From the Earth to the Moon’ That Upended the Limited Series Category 25 Years Ago
Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Most of this year’s limited or anthology series Emmy frontrunners had several choices on where to compete. “Dahmer: Monster — The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” is part of a new “Monster” anthology series, but it could have gone drama. “Beef” might have found a home in drama or comedy, but landed in limited (same goes for “Mrs. Davis”). All of these series have a trailblazer to thank for the flexibility that comes with the limited/anthology category: HBO’s “From the Earth to the Moon.” It’s been 25 years since that landmark miniseries was an Emmy contender — and it’s remarkable to look back at what a controversial decision it was at the time to even call it a “miniseries.”
