Dawson Dead: RIP JVDB – February 11, 2026

James Van Der Beek dies after long cancer battle, HGTV cancels Nicole Curtis for n-word use, Epstein file fireworks, Winter Olympics, Bill Maher v. Jimmy Kimmel, Nancy Guthrie suspect released, and Drew’s Watch War with Tom Brady. RIP James Van Der Beek. His wife has launched a GoFundMe. HGTV’s Nicole Curtis has been BLOWN OUT for the weirdest use of the n-word. Reality TV’s Jill Zarin has been BLOWN OUT for her Super Bowl Halftime Show hot take. Nancy Guthrie: Carlos Palazuelos was apprehended and released in the search for Nancy Guthrie. Even his mother-in-law had to explain herself. A SECOND ransom has come in and something smells fishy. A black glove has been discovered near Nancy’s home. Olympics: Sturla Holm Lægreid has stepped in it again. Ilia Malinin is good at skating. We remember Yannick Bertrand destroying his French dong downhill skiing in 2007. Canada school shooting leaves 10 dead. Jesse Van Rootselaar (Strang?) has been identified as the perpetrator. We watch as The Fighter and The Kid (Bryan Callen and Brendan Schaub) break down the Epstein Files. Casey Wasserman is losing clients over his Ghislaine Maxwell ties, but keeps his 2028 LA Olympic post. Howard Lutnick is a liar. Pam Bondi lashed out at everyone in Washington DC today. Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni clash in court, but match outside. Bijou Phillips has blown through a kidney and needs one ASAP. Music: Eddie Vedder did an interview with Rolling Stone and says Pearl Jam is “between eras”. Bobby Caldwell is not a Black man. Gene Simmons doesn’t listen to hip hop. Cardi B got a new watch after dumping Stefon Diggs. Sophie Rain is a boner-maker. Watch Wars: Drew vs Tom Brady. We chat with Tom Mazawey to find out if he wore his Justin Verlander jersey today.
