Jeff Garlin: Hollywood work has dried up and left town CAROLLA: "I talked to a friend of mine... He's been working as an editor nonstop for 32 years... and he goes, I'm retired. There's no work." GARLIN: "I haven't worked in almost three years since Curb ended. The number of American productions that are filmed in Ireland tells you all you need to know. All these empty sound stages. It's a shame." Ireland had its biggest production year ever in 2025, and 85% of the UK's film and TV spending came from foreign productions, mostly American studios. Meanwhile California has lost nearly 30% of its film and TV jobs since late 2022. Newsom waited until July 2025 to double California's capped film credit to $750 million a year, but LA filming was still down 13% this spring and 36% below its five-year average. The fix is too little and too late for crews who had already moved on. If you work in film or TV, or know someone who does, where did the jobs go for you?

@ABC News continues to lie, this time privately to their friends in the press. This was a coordinated influence operation planted by our competition, not "premature publication". 7:01 AM October 7th, story goes live. Within minutes, dozens of high-profile commentators, politicians, and news outlets are sharing it with tens of millions of followers. We immediately contact ABC and demand they correct their false claims - after multiple rounds of refusal, they finally make a single one-word grammar edit. The editors stand by the reporting and insist the false claims are true. Finally, eight hours after I was forced to call them out publicly, they delete everything. The editors hide all the comments, the author deletes his X account, and the story is completely wiped from their website without any explanation, directly violating SPJ ethics standards and ABC's own internal rules. ABC is currently running a coverup operation, ignoring all of our requests for correction/retraction while telling their buddies to spread the word that this was nothing more than a CMS publication timeline error.
