Rambling Reporter

The Report

“It’s a cross

between a

staycation and

a Saw mov ie.”

SETH MEYERS

The Late Night host, during his

first telecast from home, describing the

experience of sheltering in place.

“We’ve never

called the virus

a hoax.”

SEAN HANNITY

The Fox News host, in his

March 18 telecast, nine days

after he called media

coverage of the coronavirus

a weapon to “bludgeon

Trump with this new hoax.”

“We don’t have

a penny of

revenue coming

in the door.”

ADAM ARON

The AMC Entertainment

Holdings CEO, on CNN,

revealing that the theater

company needs loans

to survive after closing

all locations.

“Live ... from my

basement ... this

is Today.”

SAVANNAH GUTHRIE

The NBC anchor, on

Instagram, showing that her

pajama-clad husband,

Mike Feldman, was working

as her producer while she

taped from home.

“We’re looking

at this as a

time of war.”

RANDALL STEPHENSON

The AT&T CEO, speaking

on CNN, comparing the

coronavirus to World War II

and calling on

corporations to “help the

general population.”

“Remember, despite all the current events,

there is no crying in baseball.”

TOM HANKS

The actor, on Twitter, channeling his character from A League of Their Own

to describe his feelings about being quarantined in Australia with wife Rita Wilson

after both tested positive for COVID-19. “We are taking it one-day-at-a-time.”

(starring Annette O’Toole, Margo

Martindale, June Squibb, Sophie

Lowe and Morgan Saylor) but

instead has moved the venue to a

more intimate space — attendees’

living rooms. In lieu of a public

gathering, the studio is sending

dinner for two (menu by Annie

Campbell Catering, linens by

Heather Taylor Home, dessert

from Valerie Confections) to the

cast and crew and other industry

folk so they can party on as they

stream the Prime film during

a delayed March 27 home event

(the film began streaming March

20). A source at Amazon tells

THR that all the vendors hired for

the original live premiere were

retained for the home version, so

nobody lost any income because

of the coronavirus.

Norman Lloyd, Surviving

His Second Global Epidemic

THR checked in with probably

the one person in Hollywood who

was alive during the last great

global epidemic — the Spanish

flu — to see how 105-year-old

Norman Lloyd is holding up.

“Like everyone else, I’m captive in

my own house,” the star of Alfred

Hitchcock’s Saboteur (and NBC’s

St. Elsewhere) said over the phone.

“But there’s nothing I need at the

moment.” Lloyd, who was 4 years

old (and in New Jersey) when the

1918 pandemic hit, now lives in

Beverly Hills with a full-time

caretaker. — SCOTT FEINBERG
