They have some time on their hands, so late-night hosts have decided to start a podcast. “Strike Force Five” will feature Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver talking about the writers and actors strike that’s kept their shows in reruns for around four months. The proceeds from the podcast are going to go to out-of-work late-night staff from their shows. How did it start? Apparently, the group was getting together on Zoom to talk every week and decided to turn it into a podcast.
Burger King has to prove its burgers aren’t smaller than they claim. A judge in Miami rejected the fast food chain's request to have a lawsuit dismissed. The proposed class action lawsuit claims Burger King misleads customers with menu pictures and ads that make the Whopper appear to be 35-percent bigger and contains twice the meat than what is served. Burger King argued it doesn't need to serve burgers that look "exactly like the picture." If the suit succeeds, Burger King will have to compensate customers that join the class for the lawsuit. McDonald's, Wendy's and Taco Bell are also all facing similar lawsuits.
Move over, Taylor Swift, you no longer own Los Angeles. The pop mega-star might be the music biz’s biggest draw right now, but her attendance record in Los Angeles has fallen. Rock icons Metallica have made the case that rock is not, in fact, dead and that legends never die. The rockers set an attendance record over the weekend at LA’s SoFi Stadium… and they did with a little clever trickery. By employing their infamous “Snake Pit” staging, they were able to pack almost 8,000 more fans into the arena for both shows. Ultimately, Metallica drew in around 78,000 fans to each of their shows- giving them a two-night run of approximately 156,000 tickets sold. By contrast, Swift’s six-night run drew in slightly more than 70,000 per show for a total of 420,000 earlier this summer.
