‘The Morning Show’ Needs to Quit Stalling and Explain the Dirt on Paul Marks

OK, The Morning Show, we get it: Paul Marks (Jon Hamm) is, shocker, an evil billionaire hiding something huge from everyone. As Paul works on his deal to merge his company, Hyperion, with UBA, we learn that his secret is massive and could put an end to UBA. It’s, like, super shocking, guys. Too bad The Morning Show likely won’t be telling us what it is until the final moments in the Season 3 finale. Until then, in Episode 8, TMS is going to taunt us with this hidden info whenever it can.

News of Paul’s relationship with Alex (Jennifer Aniston) has leaked on a knockoff-TMZ celeb gossip network. Everyone at UBA is pissed. “I can’t believe after Mitch she’s still pulling this shit,” one staffer whines. In light of the leak, Alex opts to push her Alex Unfiltered interview with Paul to next week, even though Cory (Billy Crudup) and Chip (Mark Duplass) have re-edited it to be as juicy and sexy as possible.

Instead of Paul, Alex wants to find someone to talk about the possibility of Roe vs. Wade being overturned—remember, we’re now in the early spring of 2022. Chris (Nicole Beharie) has revved up her audience after posting that “Abort the Court” selfie, which pleases her, but her co-anchor Yanko (Néstor Carbonell) is pissed because she “told the court to abort itself.” Maybe don’t take rally cries so seriously, dude.
