Somebody get them a stripper cake.
Yesterday, E! celebrated twenty years of entertainment. Twenty years. And it got me thinking, “What the hell has the E! network brought to us as a culture?”
And I couldn’t come up with much. I really didn’t know what the hell E! was doing back in 1990, but ostensibly they were still airing shows that detailed the extravagant purchases of celebrities and spurring on the revolution that still hasn’t come yet. We still have not risen up to slay the wealthy denizens of Los Angeles and New York, despite knowing where they live, their shopping habits, and how they respond well to stress. Spoiler alert: they don’t respond very well. At all.
E! has given us Ryan Seacrest, Kim Kardashian, Kendra Wilkinson, True Hollywood Stories, Hollywood Crime Shows, and a myriad chorus of dreck that could drown out all positive sounds that were ever heard.
What have they given us that’s completely legitimate? Joel McHale and Chelsea Handler. And Hal Sparks. That’s about three people out of a channel that’s featured hundreds over the years. So if you want to ever watch the reality shows that VH1 rejected, turn over to the E! Network.
And of courser, Kardashian walked the red carpet. You could put a red carpet in Iowa, and she’d show up for publicity.
