Starz doesn’t want any more Blunt Talk from Patrick Stewart
At this point, we’d welcome a drugged-out, drunk cable talk-show host, as long as they actually understood the meaning of the phrase “tell it like it is.” But we live in a liberal bubble, so what do we know? Apparently nothing, because Starz has pulled the plug on Blunt Talk, about a drugged-out, drunk cable talk-show host played by Patrick Stewart. The news comes courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, which quotes Starz programming president Carmi Zlotnik as saying in a statement, “We are grateful to Jonathan and Patrick for the tirades and laughs that Walter Blunt delivered to fans with such aplomb … It was a very special show with a heartfelt message. It was an honor serving you, Major.”
