Dead of Night with the Grim Reaper: Kickstarter

Dead of Night with the Grim Reaper is the brainchild of Devon Coleman, writer, performer, and one of the denizens of the official MST3K Discourse forum. This Kickstarter is seeking funds to make a pilot episode for a spooky-comedy late-night talk show series, based on a live stage show they did in 2019, The Grim Reaper with Adult Teen Wolf:

When I think about how to describe the tone, I think "Space Ghost with actual ghosts" and "What Beetlejuice, The Munsters, and Ray Stantz watch before bed".   

Besides Devon themself who wrote for season 13 of MST3K, other alums are planned to be on board: Tim Ryder (Bonehead #1, some live shows' Tom Servo, director of the Great Cheesy Movie Circus Tour, writer), Rebecca Hanson (GPC, Synthia, writer), Emily Marsh (Emily Connor), and Howie Michael Smith (writer; perhaps better known for the Broadway show Avenue Q).

They're a little over 50% funded with 21 days to go!

Carmel Dagan at Variety:

Successful national talk show host Phil Donahue, who entertained, challenged and informed two generations of daytime television viewers, died on Sunday night following a long illness, Variety has confirmed. He was 88. The news of his death was first announced Monday morning on the “Today” show. “Groundbreaking TV talk show journalist Phil Donahue died Sunday night at home surrounded by his wife of 44 years Marlo Thomas, his sister, his children, grandchildren and his beloved golden retriever Charlie,” his family said in a statement. “Donahue was 88 years old and passed away peacefully following a long illness.” The pioneering, issue-oriented “The Phil Donahue Show” was picked up for national syndication in 1969, was redubbed “Donahue” in 1974 and eventually reached more than 200 stations across the country. It ran until 1996, when the daytime talkshow landscape had changed radically into a tabloid circus and competitors including Oprah Winfrey had drawn away his female viewership. While Donahue was not above resorting to sensationalist topics, his show was still rather tame compared to the imitators like “Sally Jesse Raphael” and “Jerry Springer” that followed.

Never a stranger to controversy or hotly debated sociopolitical issues, the silver-haired Donahue brought a strong journalistic spine to his popular show and was a potent contrast to the regular celebrity chatter and soap opera menu of daytime television.

[...] In 2002-03, Donahue briefly returned to television with a self-titled MSNBC talkshow in which he interviewed newsmakers on social and political issues. Its audience was dwarfed by that of Fox Network’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” with which it competed, but drew the highest ratings of any show on the cable network at the time. Nevertheless, MSNBC canceled “Donahue” after six months, leading some observers to conclude that the network felt the show unwelcome given the political climate prevailing in the country at the time. “Network management apparently didn’t care for the anchor’s left-leaning politics, a contention that echoes a recently leaked internal memo that found Donahue’s politics would not have been palatable to aud[ience]s in wartime,” Variety said at the time. Oprah Winfrey praised Donahue in a September 2002 interview as she was contemplating running an anti-war series on her own show, saying: “The bottom line is we need you, Phil, because we need to be challenged by the voice of dissent.”

Talk show host and liberal icon Phil Donahue died at 88.
