Craig Ferguson may be no Chris Crocker, but the Peabody-winning television host recently went viral for defending Britney Spears during an opening monologue from 2007. In the old Late Late Show clip, Ferguson asks for sympathy and understanding for the pop singer as she publicly went through a rough patch. From shaving her head to checking into rehab, the “Toxic” singer became the subject of jokes and grabby headlines for all forms of media. “I’m starting to feel uncomfortable making fun of these people,” he said. “Comedy should have a certain amount of joy in it.

Craig Mazin ’s limited series Chernobyl took home another slew of Emmys on Sunday, following its success last weekend in the Creative Arts categories. Mazin won for writing, director Johan Renck collected for directing and the show itself won best limited series after its previous seven below-the-line wins. It had a total of 19 nominations and Sunday’s wins helped HBO top the charts with 34 overall wins. However, Mazin reiterated that they will not revisit Chernobyl for a follow-up season. Speaking backstage, Mazin said the show —which details the tragic events of the Soviet Union’s 1986 nuclear plant meltdown—is definitely over for good. “We will not be doing that,” he said. “We told a story of a place in time and we did it pretty darn well, and it’s time to start thinking about other places and other times… whatever we look at, whether it’s fiction or based on history, it’s relevant to who we are now and what we’re facing.” Related Story Emmy Awards: The … [Read more...] about ‘Chernobyl’ Creator Craig Mazin Confirms There Will Be No Season 2 Despite Big Emmy Win
