Gods I love your femme Al!!!!
Not me adding my thoughts here for a story idea I just got for a Femme Radioapple, based on how well it could have worked for Al to be a woman to further draw attention away from herself as she did her killings, bc obviously no one would believe famous Radio Hostess, listened and beloved by the women of America, to be a killer! Always irked by this until she gets to Hell and she can finally do both things she loves! And then has a tough time being taken seriously by the current Overlords of Hell, most men. The few women Overlords are jealous of her quick success so she takes them out along any disrespectful person who dares to cross her. Then the tides change, and powerful women rise, women who won't try to kick her down to get up, like Rosie and Carmilla, and Alice is content. But there is something that irks her, the King of Hell. Alice respects Lilith, has always admired the so called Witch (as history and religion portray her) for her stance to be her own woman, but feels it absurd she is shackled to the King.
An elusive King, who never is seen by the general public, who rumors say hates sinners and enjoys their deaths at the hands of the exterminators. Idk why Alice disappeared for 7 years, or if she knows why Lilith did herself, but upon her return she sees little Charlie Morningstar's absolute failure and decides to help out. And it's going fantastic! For her entertainment of course, they are no closer to finding a way to make Heaven see sense and are running out of time. So, Charlie calls her parent (Alice doesn't hear her call, nor picks up the unusual way to refer to her father). Alice comes down to find the hotel staff running around making futile attempts to make it seem less than what it is for the Ruler of Hell. And then, a woman walks through the door.
Angels are very much not human, they don't have genders, but when Lucifer gave the apple to Eve, Adam and Lilith, it was to free them from Heaven's control. Adam could do no wrong, but Lilith was labeled a Witch and Eve, a traitor. Eve was cursed with painful childhood and considered forever to be less than Adam, for her and all her daughters, and Lucifer decided there and then that any suffering she got would be their/her own.
Of course, apart from that, Luci and Lilith were sent to Hell, were it became clear soon that no Sinner took her seriously, not as long as she was no man to them, despite her not caring for how she was perceived (genderfluid, leaning towards more feminine after she had Charlie but anything for her pronouns is fine) so all of Hell just kept on calling her King and no one bothered to correct anyone to avoid fights. Lilith thrived as Queen, but Luci after a millennia of trying, couldn't stop Heaven from controlling Hell with the Exterminations and drew further away from the public.
Going back to Alice, who had hated The King on principal for a) not properly reigning, b) allowing Heaven to do as they pleased once a year, and c) being a man, was very wrong footed now to find another woman who had to disguise herself to be respected and do what needed to be done while also in a way, hiding. Alice didn't hide anymore, Hell knew the Radio Demon was a powerful woman, but she had hidden true self all her human life. Maybe, she could get along with the King. Then, she opened her mouth, insulted her position in Charlie's life and hadn't even heard of her, and it was hate at first meeting.
Ideas go brrrrrr in my brain! Somebody please help me, I am drowning in ideas!
“I love that color on you” ♥️
#turns out lots of women in the 20s and 30s were radio hosts!#they had lots of listeners bc they talked about things homemakers and wives were interested in#other than just cooking or soap operas#so after reading 3 min I had this!#finally i have been trying to find something that will let me write femme Radioapple!#seeing Femme Al covered in blood had me thinking how she probably used her status as a lady to avoid suspicion as she took down men twice --#-- her size and made them disappear :D#would love to explore how they can go from enemies to friends to something they both are relunctant to admit!#i know Mare that you usually do genderbend for everyone but i would love to leave everyone else the same as in the show just bc i love--#-- my girls Vaggie and Charlie!#femme alastor#idea vault

sweet creature (spencer reid x f! reader) pt 3
a/n: no spence in this part, sorry to disappoint you simps. but uhh, y/n and jj rights! but as besties <3
tw! there are mentions of sexual assault and a minor character death! please be aware before reading!!
part one | part four
“St. Augustine, Florida,” Penelope starts, showcasing the most recent case. “Two bodies were found early this evening in a remote wooded area just west of the city. Neither have been identified yet.”
“This woman’s complexion…” Tara said, looking at the pictures of a woman with various injuries on her face.
Y/N looked at the board beside Penelope. “… she was exsanguinated.” she hissed.
“Correct, my dearest, which is a really fun word to say, but I didn’t know its terrible meaning until I started working here.”
“Odd that the only female had her blood removed,” Rossi said across the round table.
“Well, the male victim might have been collateral damage or a witness that needed to be silenced.” JJ added.
“I mean, it is the kind of message that would be sent to each other. The Curiel Syndicate recently set up shop in Florida,”
“Except it looks like these two were meant without anyone the wiser. How is that a message?” Asked Rossi.
“Well, cartels have also been known to use murder as a form of voodoo.” Derek pointed out. “In 1989, a University of Texas student was murdered by a satanic gang while on spring break.”
Y/N leaned further into the table, reviewing the photos they were given. “My guess is that this has nothing to do with drugs. Maybe someone with a blood fetish-”
“Vampirism?” JJ asked.
Y/N hums in response, glancing at her for a brief moment.
“It’s late and we need to hit the ground running. Wheels up in 30.” Hotch said as he closed the file he held, gathering any necessary belongings for the case.
Without another word, the team mirrored his actions and followed him out. This was one of the first few cases she has worked on with the team without Spencer. She didn’t mind it, of course. The team welcomed her with open arms and treated her as if she had always been there, which she appreciated. She had gotten used to everything that came with the job, and grew closer to the team, but she wouldn’t be lying if she said that some things she sees still make her skin crawl.
-
Y/N looked out the window of the jet, admiring the contrast of the dark, star filled sky beneath the white clouds. She was seated with JJ, Hotch, and Morgan at the small table, the rest of the team claiming their spot to the seats to their right.
“The coroner attributed the lacerations on the bodies to animal bites.” Morgan said. “Apparently there are a lot of raccoons in that area.”
Y/N felt JJ nudge her slightly and brought her attention back to the file on her lap, flipping through the photos. “The media’s going on about satanic mutilation.”
“It’s happened before. The West Memphis three case showed how animal activity on a corpse can be mistaken for a ritualized torture.” Hotch noted.
“After the first bite, the insect infestation expands and distorts the open wounds,” Said Rossi.
Y/N heard Garcia groan over the laptop speaker, seeing her face scrunch up in disgust on the screen. “Ok, here’s my finger, here’s the mute button. Are you guys done talking about the critter damage?”
JJ and Y/N shared a look, and she smiled. “You can put your finger down, Pen, we’re done,”
“Thank you, and Y/N’s right; local news and radio outlets are going wild with this being a blood-worshipping cult murder.” she continues typing. “Hey, new information. Both of those bodies have just been identified, Cheyenne Pravato, 23 and George Henning, 71.”
The team leaned forward to inspect the photos of the recent victims popping up on the screen.
“Any connection?” asked Hotch.
“My level-one search says no, my level 2 through 20 await. Cheyenne was a waitress that is currently unemployed. Henning was a retired steelworker from Pennsylvania, lived in Florida a few years. They both went missing 3 days ago.”
“3 days?” Tara questioned. “Coroner estimated the time of death as less than 24 hours from the time of discovery?”
“Preliminary indicators show no sign of torture or sexual assault,” JJ said.
Y/N’s eyebrows knit together in thought, trying to piece together the information. “What was he doing with them?”
The team brought their attention to Hotch, and he said, “Dave, you find out what you can about Cheyenne from friends and family. Morgan, you do the same thing for Henning. JJ, I need you to rein in the media. And, Lewis, Y/L, you two go to the M.E.. Hysteria’s growing and we need to contain it.”
-
“Still waiting on the full tox screen for the male victim,” said the medical examiner.
“We think they may have been held for up to two days.” Tara said. “Were they fed?”
“Stomach contents were empty, but nutrition and hydration levels were normal. My guess is they were both fed through an I.V.” he said, lifting the fabric that covered the body. “I did find one curiosity,”
He uncovered the victim's calf, showing a mark on the skin with red rings around it. Y/N furrowed her brows, her eyes scanning the injured spot. “It looks like an animal bite?”
“Not under magnification. It’s actually a surgically precise triangle,”
She saw Tara’s face harden in the corner of her eye; she turned to her and they shared a questioning look. They heard the telephone ring from across the room, and the medical examiner was quick to answer it. Tara lifted the fabric once more, bending down to look closer at the injury.
“You’re positive of that?” Y/N heard him ask over the phone. The medical examiner hung up the phone, turning on his heel to face the two women. “The tox screen and DNA tests on George Henning just came back. You ready for this? Most of the blood in his body isn’t his…”
Y/N tilted her head. “Then whose…”
“It’s Cheyenne’s…”
Her whole body tensed at his words, and Tara’s jaw dropped in shock.
-
Y/N tapped her pencil against the table as she read over the tox screening. “The blood drained from Cheyenne was put into George Henning?” Morgan questioned, gesturing to the document in her hand.
She slid the paper across the table for him to read. “It is strange, a triangle was cut into his calf muscle too,”
“And there’s still something in the toxicology screen that the M.E. can’t identify.” Hotch said.
“Yeah, we’re hoping to find something more in the next few hours,”
Morgan slid back the report to her. She heard footsteps coming closer to the room they occupied and turned to see JJ walking in. She greeted her with a small wave and smile, to which she returned. JJ leaned against Y/N’s chair, resting her hand on the back of it. “So, it took a little arm-wrestling,” she starts. “But the media finally saw the wisdom in toning down the whole demon worship angle,”
“Don’t take a victory lap just yet,” Rossi said, Y/N handing her the tox report.
“You’re kidding,” JJ huffed.
Tara picked up the photos from the M.E., flipping them over for JJ to see. “Y/L and I are just trying to work out this whole calf muscle business,”
“Triangles are big in illuminati symbolism.” Rossi recounted.
Morgan let out a sharp exhale. “This is just bending back toward cult behavior.”
“What did you find out about George Henning?” Hotch asked him.
“According to the neighbors, the guy was a shut-in. No friends, a lot of health problems — hypertension, parkinson’s,”
“Cheyenne was the opposite,” Rossi interjected. “Vegan, into new age lifestyles. Never met a harmonic convergence she didn't want to converge on.”
“Well, I mean, I get it with him; he was a recluse, but how did nobody notice her missing for 3 days?”
“Her friends said that Cheyenne was flighty. It was not unusual for her to take off without notice for a week or two.”
“Transfusions and sustained I.V. feeding takes skill, planning and access to materials, and as crude as it was, the replacing of old blood with new is dialysis.” Hotch said. “ What if the triangle isn’t a symbol, but a tissue sample? Could this be medical experimentation?”
“Yeah, I mean, you’ve got a youthful, healthy host in Cheyenne and a sick test subject in Henning,”
“If the new missing girl’s his next victim, the unsub could be getting ready to try again,” JJ said, clutching the back of Y/N’s chair.
Y/N gave her a look of confusion. “New missing girl?”
“A missing persons report came in earlier today, Andrea Gambrell,” JJ explained. “Her car was found abandoned at a cemetery near Jacksonville. Cheyenne and Andrea waitressed at the same restaurant.”
“If Andrea mirrors Cheyenne, then who mirrors George?” Y/N asked.
“I guess that’s what we have to figure out.”
-
Y/N stood with JJ and Hotch looking over photos they’ve gathered throughout the case, trying to come up with a conclusion. She tapped her foot anxiously against the tile beneath her feet, her brows furrowing as she looked closely at the photos. The sound of Hotch’s phone ringing startled her, making her jump. She let out a deep breath and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. JJ took notice of a very flustered looking Y/N and placed a hand on her shoulder gently. “You okay there?”
She gave her a half-hearted smile, moving past her to stand next to Hotch. “‘m fine.”
“What do you have, Garcia?” he asked.
He asked her to search for doctors or any medical professionals in the area, anyone that could pop up as a red flag, and of course, Garcia was quick to find just what they needed. “Nothing on my crimson flag doctor search, but I did learn about something with a super cool name,” she said through the speaker. “The mad scientist club,”
JJ took a step, now standing beside Y/N. “And what is that?’ she asked.
“They’re a student group from the Florida College of Medicine in Jacksonville. Before the disbanded, they used to get together and talk about experimental ways to cure disease.”
“Do you have any names of the people in the club?” Y/N questioned.
“Uh, kinda, sorta, not really. They were totally informal. Here’s the part that made me sit up straight. They used to meet at a local cemetery,”
JJ scoffed. “Let me guess, the same cemetery where Andrea Gambrell disappeared.”
“Yeah! The very one!”
“Alright,” Hotch started. “Keep working on the names and see if you can find out what the club disbanded.”
“Okay,” Garcia said before hanging up.
Before the three of them could say another word, Y/N's own phone started ringing. She reached into her back pocket and held the phone up to her ear. “Agent Y/L,”
“Yes, agent, I’ve got the full tox screen of George Henning,” he said, Y/N bringing her phone from her ear so she could put it on speaker. “There were massive levels of massive levodopa in his system.”
“The parkinson's drug?”
“Correct,”
Y/N bit the inside of her cheek. “But the blood was replaced with Cheyenne’s. Does that mean the levodopa was introduced into his system after the transfusion?”
“Yes, ma’am. We got the results of the other DNA samples and the surprises keep coming. Found traces of mesoglea and testudinata keratin,”
“That is…” she urges him to continue.
“Jellyfish and turtle. George Henning had animal DNA in his system.” He said.
Y/N scrunched her nose, looking up to see JJ with her mouth slightly agape and Hotch with a deep frown. Y/N quickly says ‘thank you’ before hanging up. But before she could turn her phone off, a quiet ding! went off notifying her about a new message.
“Guys,” she alerted. “Another body was found.”
“You two check that out, see what you can find. I’ll brief the team on the tox screening.”
-
Y/N and JJ walked in silence, their shoulders bumping as they made their way to the site where the latest victim was found. “Okay so, a homeless man found him,” Y/N breaks the silence, lifting the police tape for her and JJ to go under. The officer close by handed them both gloves to search the area and a bag of belongings found on the victim. “We I.D.’d him as Harold McDermott, longtime local resident.”
“He didn’t even bother hiding the body this time.” JJ said. “The unsub might be unraveling,”
���He must’ve been the new George Henning.” Y/N muttered, crouching down and her eyes scanning the injuries the man ensued. “I don’t even want to think about what might be swimming around in his bloodstream.”
JJ crouched down to her level. “No obvious tissue removal, bruising on his face and chest.” she looked at Y/N, then to the bag in her hand. “What’s in there?”
Y/N eyebrows rose, following JJ’s gaze to the items in the clear bag. She stood up, opened the bag and it was a wallet. With a medical card. Ah, of course we’d find something like this in here, she thought. “It’s a medical I.D. card” she said, pulling it out for JJ to see. “Our victim suffered from epilepsy and cortico-basal degeneration…”
They tore their eyes away from the card, glancing up to each other. “We better deliver the profile.”
-
It’s been a few hours since they’ve delivered the profile to local authorities, and since then, they’ve gotten more information to help them solve the case. The M.E. had found more animal DNA in George Hennings body: sea urchin and some other type of tropical parrot neither of them could identify.
Penelope was able to locate one of the former members of the Mad Scientist Club, Diane Haller, and she was able to go in to talk to Tara; finding out that there was a man that could be a potential lead. Robert, or Richard, Diane couldn’t remember his name, but the club called him the magic man. He only went to the gathering a few times, according to Diane, and while he was there he would go on about how they were in a ‘magical place’. He attended the Florida College of Medicine in Jacksonville while the club was still active, his interest being in neuroscience.
A local doctor went missing, Laura Braga. She was a neurologist, which they believed was a connection to the unsub. Dr. Braga was heading back to her office to get files she’d forgotten when she discovered that the unsub broke into her office trying to get extra levodopa.
“Garcia compiled a list of every medical student in the North Florida area with the first name of Richard or Robert, and I got to tell you guys, it’s a long list.” Tara said as she stood to the side of a board filled with photo evidence and a map of the area.
“So which one is our magic man?” JJ asked.
Y/N sat in the chair next to her, facing the board. She spun her chair around to face the other way and noticed a peculiar look on Rossi’s face. “What is it, Rossi?”
“They identified the bird DNA in Henning as coming from a scarlet macaw,”
“Mmhm. And?”
“That got me thinking about Turritopsis Dohrni,”
“Turri… what?’ Tara questioned him.
“It’s called the immortal jellyfish,” he explains. “Endlessly recycles its own cells through a process called transdifferentiation, a kind of lineage reprogramming.”
“Oh, my goodness. Dr. Spencer Reid, master of disguise.” JJ joked.
Y/N quirked an eyebrow, the corners of her mouth rising slightly. “If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve assumed that you were the resident genius, Rossi,”
He let out a soft chuckle. “No disguise. I called the kid last night.”
“Ahh,” Y/N and JJ said in unison.
“But think about it, jellyfish, turtle, sea urchin, and now a scarlet macaw. What do they all have in common?”
“A long lifespan.” Tara answered.
“Exactly, longer than a human’s.”
“So that means the unsub may not be focused on a specific disease but longevity,” Said JJ.
“Oh, God. Guys,” Tara gasped. “I think I know why the magic man thought this place was so magical,” She uses the file in her hand to point at the map. “We are right around the corner from the legendary Fountain of Youth.”
-
A local zoo reported a macaw stolen, the owner suspecting it to be a former employee, Robert Boles, who they’d believed to be the unsub. He went to medical school and flunked out in the middle of his first year. They found key information linking him to the case when Penelope found that he currently worked at the same hospital as Dr. Braga. The team rushed to the location where Boles did his experiments on his victims.
“All right, so, in high school Robert Boles got a summer job at a gift shop near the Fountain of Youth archaeological park.” JJ explained. “He got fired for breaking in after hours.”
Y/N and JJ sat in the back seat of the car, leaving Morgan and Hotch in the front. “That’s probably where his obsession with eternal youth started.”
-
They trudged through the hallways of the abandoned building with their guns pointed forward, ready to shoot if needed. “And I won’t let you get in the way!” they heard a man shout from one of the rooms.
The team followed the sound of the voice and turns the corner to see two men standing over a young woman. The younger man they’d identified as Robert Boles, and the young woman being Andrea Gambrell, Y/N assumed.
“Robert Boles, drop the weapon.” Hotch said sternly.
He whipped his head around to them.
“It’s over, man. You’re not getting out.” Morgan steps closer to him.
“Put the knife down, slowly.” JJ said.
Y/N watches as Boles lifts his arms in surrender, opening his hand to drop the knife. Morgan hurried to cuff him, while JJ rushed to untie Andrea strapped to the hospital bed.
“My wife needs help!” The other man, Ben Kebler, tells Hotch urgently.
“Where is she?”
“In the next room!” Mr. Kebler rushed out.
“Show me.” Hotch said, following him, and Y/N followed along. “Call an ambulance,” he tells her.
-
“Medics are on their way,” Y/N said softly, entering the room Hotch and JJ were in and she stood between them.
She looked down to see Eileen Kebler in the hospital bed, her husband leaning over her her. And her heart breaks. Eileen was dying.
“How is she?” Ben Kebler asked, eyes brimming with tears.
The three of them stayed silent, Y/N unable to comprehend what's happening, let alone come up with words to say in that moment. Hotch peers down at him, and Ben knows. He frantically shakes his head, hand shaking as he grabs his wife's hand. “What have I done?!”
“I’m cold,” Eileen mutters.
His face scrunched up. “Eileen, stay with me!” he pleads.
“I am always with you…” she whispers. “Always…”
And she was gone. Sobs echoed throughout the empty building, and Y/N could feel her heart bursting out of her chest. Her eyes watered with tears, then suddenly she felt a hand interlock with hers. It was JJ’s. She squeezes her hand gently, JJ rubbing soothing circles along her knuckles. She let out a soft exhale and used her free hand to wipe away any tears, trying to regain her composure. This part of the job was something she could never get used to. Something the rest of the team couldn’t get used to, no matter how long they’ve worked there.
-
It was safe to say that Y/N was not a night owl. The team were on their way home and she laid on the couch in the jet with a small pillow and blanket that could barely cover her. She smiled to herself as the memory of her finding Spencer snuggled with a far too small blanket the morning after their first movie night. She still cringes at the fact that she accidentally fell asleep barely into the first few movies, but smiles when she remembers what she woke up to. Y/N thought it was sweet that he stayed there with her, and finding Spencer curled up in a messy bundle of blankets made her heart grow twice its size. She took a mental note to call Spencer when they land, and she finally lets her eyes flutter shut, finally being able to rest.

The NAB Honors Lucy & Miltie
April 10, 1988
On April 10, 1988, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) initiated Lucille Ball and Milton Berle into their Broadcasting Hall of Fame. The awards were announced at the Annual NAB Convention. Ironically, the ceremony was not broadcast or recorded. Although the Award had been bestowed since 1977, Lucy and Uncle Miltie were the first television broadcasters to be so honored. Previously, the recipients were all radio broadcasters, although fittingly, the first award went to CBS Chairman William Paley, along with Lucy’s pals Bob Hope and Jack Benny, for their radio programs.
Two weeks earlier, Ball and Berle were photographed together at the March 28,1988 Friar's Club Roast honoring Liza Minnelli's Lifetime Achievement in Entertainment, held at the Century Plaza Hotel. (Photo by Vinnie Zuffante / Getty Images)
After Ball’s passing in 1989, he said he and Lucy had dated casually in the 30's, when she was a Goldwyn Girl and he was doing stand-up on the comedy circuits. Later, Miss Ball and Mr. Berle's wife, Ruth, became close friends. After viewing footage of their work together, Berle said of Miss Ball: "I was amazed... at the rapport we had. You could tell we liked each other personally. A lot of it was ad libbed."
A 1952 regional TV Guide touted the fall return of Ball and Berle’s TV offerings.
The following year, the new National TV Guide put Lucy and Berle on the totem pole of TV icons. Both Berle and Ball hold their sponsors products: she, Philip Morris cigarettes, and he a Texaco gas pump.
Although Lucille Ball guest starred on Berle’s Show “Texaco Star Theatre” in 1948, Berle was off sick, replaced by Walter O'Keefe filled in for an ailing Milton Berle. Berle’s absence delays the first meeting of superstars-to-be Ball and Berle until 1950, when he hosted...
“Show of the Year: Cerebral Palsy Telethon” ~ June 10, 1950
(Photo, left to right: Gabby Hayes, Roger Clipp, UCP Poster Child, Jane Pickens, and Dennis James.) The telethon was broadcast live from New York City with remotes from Philadelphia. Lucy and Desi were in New York City on their ‘vaudeville tour’ designed to try-out material for “I Love Lucy” and prove to the network and sponsors that they had good chemistry together.
After this chance encounter, Berle and Ball went their separate ways building a TV empire: He for NBC, she on CBS. It was more than a decade until the two TV stars performed together in...
“Milton Berle Hides Out at The Ricardos” (LDCH E11) ~ September 25, 1959
This was one of the last episodes of “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” with Berle essentially playing himself, promoting his new book “Earthquake” and, of course, dressing up as Mildred.
In return, as was common at the time, Lucy and Desi did a show for Milton Berle on NBC....
“Sunday Showcase: The Lucy-Desi Milton Berle Special” ~ November 1, 1959
Lucy and Desi play the Ricardos (although no mention of Little Ricky or the Mertzes), filmed at the Rancho Mirage Casino Hotel in Las Vegas.
In between the two specials was a televised all-star tribute to First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt on her Diamond Jubilee. Both Lucy and Milton were on the dais, as were many more celebrities. A similar program was aired the following year with Lucy in attendance, Milton Berle was not involved.
Six years went by before their next collaboration, this time on “The Lucy Show” with...
“Lucy Saves Milton Berle” (TLS S4;E12) ~ December 6, 1965
Milton Berle disguises himself as a drunk to do research for a role. He tells Lucy Carmichael that he is Milton Berle’s twin brother and Lucy vows to get even with Berle for neglecting his brother.
“The Milton Berle Show” (S1;E1) ~ September 9, 1966
Lucille Ball helps Milton Berle kick off his new variety show filmed at the Hollywood Palace. Despite much hype, this new ABC-TV show lasted just seven episodes.
Meanwhile...
“Lucy and John Wayne” (TLS S5;E10) ~ November 21, 1966
While Lucy is waiting for Wayne in the studio commissary, Milton Berle makes a silent cameo; nothing more than a walk-through, to great audience reaction.
In his final appearance on “The Lucy Show,” Berle brings along his real-life wife (and Lucille Ball’s friend) Ruth Cosgrove...
“Lucy Meets the Berles” (TLS S6;E1) ~ September 11, 1967
To earn extra money, Lucy Carmichael takes a job working as Milton Berle’s secretary. When she hears overhears Berle rehearsing a love scene with actress Ruta Lee, she jumps to the conclusion that he is being unfaithful to his wife!
“The Ed Sullivan Show” (S23;E1) ~ September 20, 1970
Ed Sullivan hosts the ‘Georgie Awards’ for Entertainer of the Year, from Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas. Berle and Ball are on hand to present awards. Lucy gets to present one to her ‘kid’ Carol Burnett.
“The 23rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards” ~ May 9, 1971
Broadcast on NBC from the Pantages Theatre, hosted by Johnny Carson. Lucille Ball is not nominated, despite the fact that there were only three nominees in her category. Gale Gordon lost to Edward Asner (”The Mary Tyler Moore Show”) and the “Here’s Lucy” writers were nominated for “Lucy Meets the Burtons” (HL S3;E1) but lost to “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” Lucy attended the Awards with her husband Gary, her daughter Lucie, and her son-in-law Phil Vandervoort.
Milton Berle was also in attendance, photographed here with Jimmy Durante.
“Zenith Presents: A Salute to Television’s 25th Anniversary” ~ September 10, 1972
This was a 90-minute special on ABC TV taped August 9 to August 12 in Los Angeles. It featured clips from show’s from television’s past. The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is also 25 years old and honors a select group of people who have made an impact, had popularity, proved longevity, and demonstrated substance. Ball and Berle are both recognized with a silver medallion on a plaque.
During the last season of “Here’s Lucy,” Berle makes a guest appearance...
“Milton Berle Is the Life of the Party” (HL S6;E19) ~ February 11, 1974
Lucy Carter’s parties are a bore, so she calls a telethon to make a very low bid on Milton Berle to attend her next soiree.
“The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Lucille Ball” ~ February 7, 1975
When Lucille Ball is roasted, Berle is there to turn the spit!
Milton Berle: “Lucille Ball has emerged as the sex symbol for men who no longer care.”
“The Annual Friars Club Tribute Presents a Salute to Gene Kelly” ~ January 5, 1976
Lucille Ball and Milton Berle joined Cyd Charisse, Janet Leigh, and Frank Sinatra for “The Friars Club Presents a Salute to Gene Kelly” on NBC. Also in attendance was Natalie Wood and fellow Hollywood hoofer, Fred Astaire.
“NBC: The First 50 Years - A Closer Look” ~ November 26, 1976
A four and a half hour extravaganza that naturally featured Milton Berle, but somehow also included CBS star Lucille Ball, four years before she would make the leap to the peacock network.
“CBS Salutes Lucy: The First 25 Years” ~ November 28, 1976
Milton Berle stands in front of the iconic Brown Derby restaurant to introduce a clip from “Hollywood at Last!” (ILL S4;E16) starring William Holden. The building was razed four years later.
“The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Danny Thomas” (S4;E2) ~ December 15, 1976
Back at Dino’s Vegas rotisserie, it is now Ball and Berle turning the spit on Danny Thomas.
“A Tribute to Mr. Television, Milton Berle” ~ March 26, 1978
One good tribute deserves another. Lucille Ball joins the cavalcade of stars honoring Uncle Miltie.
“The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Jimmy Stewart” (May 10, 1978)
Meanwhile, back at the roast pit. Lucy and Milton fling affectionate barbs at their pal Jimmy Stewart.
“Sinatra: The First 40 Years” ~ January 30, 1980
Lucy and Miltie are just two of the many honoring ‘Old Blue Eyes’.
“Bob Hope’s 30th Anniversary Television Special” ~ January 18, 1981
A retrospect of Hope’s first 30 years on TV. Celebrating with Hope are Lucille Ball, Milton Berle, and many, many others.
“Bob Hope’s Women I Love - Beautiful But Funny” ~ February 28, 1982
A look back at the women Hope has worked with over the years. More than 60 of Bob’s co-stars are presented in studio segments, as well as television and film excerpts. Since Berle is the only other male in the credits, I’m banking that Mildred, not Milton, showed up!
“The Television Academy Hall of Fame” ~ March 4, 1984
Lucille Ball and Milton Berle are among the first group inducted into the Television Hall of Fame, along with Barbara Walters, David Sarnoff, William Paley, Norman Lear, and Edward R. Murrow.
“Bob Hope’s Unrehearsed Antics of the Stars” ~ September 28, 1984
Lucille Ball tells Bob Hope - with a fair amount of embellishment for comedic effect - about her audition for the role of Scarlet O’Hara in the 1939 film Gone With The Wind. Milton Berle is also along to share some bloopers with Hope.
“Bob Hopes Buys NBC?” ~ September 17, 1985
Lucille Ball and Milton Berle have cameo appearances in this Bob Hope special. The premise has Bob staging a telethon to buy NBC, his adopted network, in an hour-long variety special of music, dance, and comedy. Lucy and Berle met on a telethon in 1950 and it was also the premise of his 1974 “Here’s Lucy” appearance.
“The 38th Primetime Emmy Awards” ~ September 21, 1986
Lucy and Milton are presenters in an evening that was memorable for honoring her friend and co-star Red Skelton.
“AFI Life Achievement Award: A Salute to Jack Lemmon” ~ March 10, 1988
The AFI gives its 1988 Life Achievement Award to Jack Lemmon. The audience is full of celebrity friends, including including Milton Berle and Lucille Ball.
“Happy Birthday, Bob: 50 Stars Salute Your 50 Years at NBC” ~ May 16, 1988
Singing an original song, this marks Lucille Ball’s last “performance” on television before her death. Berle is also on the show to salute Hope.
“The Princess Grace Foundation Special Gala Tribute to Cary Grant” ~ October 19, 1988
Cary Grant died in 1986. Due to his close friendship with Princess Grace and her family the proceeds from the evening benefit the foundation named in her honor. Milton Berle is there and Lucille Ball attends with her husband, Gary Morton. This was the last time that Lucille Ball and Milton Berle were seen on the same program before her death in April 1989.
In 1989, the NAB Hall of Fame for television inducted Ernie Kovacs (posthumously) and Sid Caesar, both of whom had been guest stars on Lucy’s programs.

Why Do The Republicans Back Trump
New Post has been published on https://www.patriotsnet.com/why-do-the-republicans-back-trump/
Why Do The Republicans Back Trump
Republican Voters Turn Against Their Partys Elites
Why many Republicans are refusing to back Donald Trump
The Tea Party movement, which sprang into existence in the early years of the Obama administration, was many things. It was partly about opposing Obamas economic policies foreclosure relief, tax increases, and health reform. It was partly about opposing immigration when Theda Skocpol and Vanessa Williamson;interviewed Tea Party activists across the nation, they found that “immigration was always a central, and sometimes the central, concern” those activists expressed.
But the Tea Party also was a challenge to the Republican Party establishment. Several times, these groups helped power little-known far-right primary contenders to shocking primary wins over establishment Republican politicians deemed to be sellouts. Those candidates didnt always win office, but their successful primary bids certainly struck fear into the hearts of many other GOP incumbents, and made many of them more deferential to the concerns of conservative voters.
Furthermore, many Republican voters also came to believe, sometimes fairly and sometimes unfairly, that their partys national leaders tended to sell them out at every turn.
Talk radio and other conservative media outlets helped stoke this perception, and by May 2015 Republican voters were far more likely to say that their partys politicians were doing a poor job representing their views than Democratic voters were.
He Didnt Sign The Paris Climate Accord
Speaking of Paris, Trump stood alone among politicians in realizing that a lot of the climate change rhetoric is designed to heavily tax American industry while it lets other countries slide and keep polluting. Hes not pro-pollution, but he doesnt want to sacrifice the American middle class in the process of fighting it.
Hes Not Politically Correct
We are living in an age where most people have to bite their lips to the point of bleeding for fear of offending some delicate soul who will scream bloody murder and call the cops and press if you dare to say anything that hurts their feelings. This is mind control and tyranny of the worst formrepression of thoughts. For all that the media and academics say they want diversity, dont you dare utter a contrary opinion or they will ruin your life. Then along comes Trump and says, fuck that.
Don’t Miss: Most Republican States 2018
‘combative Tribal Angry’: Newt Gingrich Set The Stage For Trump Journalist Says
All these factors combined to produce a windfall for Republicans all over the country in the midterms of 1994, but it was a watershed election in the South. For more than a century after Reconstruction, Democrats had held a majority of the governorships and of the Senate and House seats in the South. Even as the region became accustomed to voting Republican for president, this pattern had held at the statewide and congressional levels.
But in November 1994, in a single day, the majority of Southern governorships, Senate seats and House seats shifted to the Republicans. That majority has held ever since, with more legislative seats and local offices shifting to the GOP as well. The South is now the home base of the Republican Party.
The 2020 aftermath
No wonder that in contesting the results in six swing states he lost, Trump seems to have worked hardest on Georgia. If he had won there, he still would have lost the Electoral College decisively. But as the third most populous Southern state, and the only Southern state to change its choice from 2016, it clearly held special significance.
Trump Blasts Mcconnell And His Leadership In Lengthy Response To Recent Criticism
Where will the party turn in its hour of crisis? If the past is any guide, it will turn in two directions: to the right, and to the South. These have been the wellsprings of strength and support that have brought the party back from the brink in recent decades.
That was the strategy that led to Richard Nixon’s elections as president in 1968 and 1972, and it was still working for Ronald Reagan in the 1980s.
Solidifying the South and energizing conservatives were also crucial factors in the Republican tsunami of 1994, when the GOP surged to majorities in Congress and in statehouses. That hamstrung the remainder of Bill Clinton’s presidency and presaged the election of Republican George W. Bush in 2000.
It was a lesson not lost on Trump. While not even a Republican until late in life, he started his primary campaign billboarding the party’s most conservative positions on taxes, trade, immigration and abortion. And the first of his rallies to draw a crowd in the tens of thousands was in a football stadium in Mobile, Ala., two months after he declared his candidacy in the summer of 2015.
Whether the next standard-bearer for the GOP is Trump himself or someone else, there is little doubt the playbook will be the same.
Low points, then turnarounds
Perhaps the most discouraging of these for the GOP was Johnson’s tidal wave, which carried in the biggest majorities Democrats in Congress had enjoyed since the heyday of Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal.

The Tucker Carlson Fans Who Got Vaxxed
I asked vaccinated fans of the Fox News host what it will take to get more Republicans to get their shots.
Late last month, as the Delta variant of the coronavirus filled hospitals across the under-vaccinated South, Tucker Carlson took to his usual perch as the most-watched host on the most-watched cable-news network, just asking questions about the COVID-19 vaccines. Tonight, congressional Democrats have called for a vaccine mandate in Congress, Carlson said, as if flabbergasted by every word. Members and staffers would be required to get a shot that the CDC told us today doesnt work very well and, by the way, whose long-term effects cannot be known.
Carlsons Facebook followers commented eagerly on the video clip, spreading unfounded fears about vaccination among themselves. Completely disappointed in our government, dont believe a word they speak! Will not get the shot! one person wrote. Together, Carlson and his viewers are a placenta and embryo, gestating dangerous ideas and keeping the pandemic alive.
Its no secret that Carlsons audience, and Foxs, are overwhelmingly Republican and right-wing. And in poll after poll, Republicans are much less likely than Democrats to say they have been vaccinated and much more likely to say they definitely wont be vaccinated. The partisan gap in vaccinations has only grown over time.
The Republican Party Was Founded To Oppose The Slave Power
For the first half-century after the United States founding, slavery was only one of many issues in the countrys politics, and usually a relatively minor issue at that. The American South based its economy on the enslavement of millions, and the two major parties which by the 1850s were the Democrats and the Whigs were willing to let the Southern states be.
But when the US started admitting more and more Western states to the Union, the country had to decide whether those new states should allow slavery or not. And this was an enormously consequential question, because the more slave states there were, the easier it would be for the slaveholding states to get their way in the Senate and the Electoral College.
Now, the issue here wasnt that Northern politicians were desperate to abolish slavery in the South immediately, apart from a few radical crusaders. The real concern was that Northerners feared the “Slave Power” the South would become a cabal that would utterly dominate US politics, instituting slavery wherever they could and cutting off opportunity for free white laborers, as historian Heather Cox Richardson writes in her book To Make Men Free.

Republicans Fear Trump Will Lead To A Lost Generation Of Talent
The 45th president has brought new voices and voters to the party, but hes driven them out too. Insiders fear the repercussions.
06/01/2021 04:30 AM EDT
Link Copied
As Donald Trump ponders another presidential bid, top Republicans have grown fearful about what theyre calling the partys lost generation.
In conversations with more than 20 lawmakers, ex-lawmakers, top advisers and aides, a common concern has emerged that a host of national and statewide Republicans are either leaving office or may not choose to pursue it for fear that they cant survive politically in the current GOP. The worry, these Republicans say, is that the party is embracing personality over policy, and that it is short sighted to align with Trump, who lost the general election and continues to alienate a large swath of the voting public with his grievances and false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
Trump has driven sitting GOP lawmakers and political aspirants into early retirements ever since he burst onto the scene. But there was hope that things would change after his election loss. Instead, his influence on the GOP appears to be as solid as ever and the impact of those early shockwaves remain visible. When asked, for instance, if he feared the 45th president was causing a talent drain from the GOP ranks, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush perhaps inadvertently offered a personal demonstration of the case.

I Think He’s Wrong On This Issue One Republican Senator Said Of Trump
Black Republican women explain why they support President Donald Trump
Donald Trump, Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski and Mitch McConnell
It’s finally infrastructure week and Donald Trump is mad.
Trump tried but ultimately failed to stop Senate Republicans from supporting;the Democrats’ $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. His effort to shame Republicans out of voting in support of the measure was impotent, as the Senate passed the bipartisan bill on Tuesday.
The former president made his feelings known ahead of the vote when he ripped Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., as “overrated.”;
“Nobody will ever understand why Mitch McConnell allowed this non-infrastructure bill to be passed. He has given up all of his leverage for the big whopper of a bill that will follow,” Trump wrote in a statement.;
“I have quietly said for years that Mitch McConnell is the most overrated man in politicsnow I don’t have to be quiet anymore,” the former president said, adding: “He is working so hard to give Biden a victory, now they’ll go for the big one, including the biggest tax increases in the history of our Country.”
Despite Trump’s rhetoric, the Senate minority leader nevertheless remained steadfast in his support of the landmark measure, voting in support of the bill on Tuesday. Although he;made clear that he will not back any Democratic-led effort at budget reconciliation, which would allow the Democrats to pass an additional $3.5 trillion bill intended to target education, health, childcare, and climate action in the coming months.;
Don’t Miss: What Republicans Are Running Against Trump For President
The Partys Core Activists Dont Want To Shift Gears
This is the simplest and most obvious explanation: The GOP isnt changing directions because the people driving the car dont want to.;
When we think of Republicans, we tend to think of either rank-and-file GOP voters or the partys highest-profile elected officials, particularly its leaders in Congress. But in many ways, the partys direction is driven by a group between those two: conservative organizations like Club for Growth and the Heritage Foundation, GOP officials at the local and state level and right-wing media outlets. That segment of the party has been especially resistant to the GOP abandoning its current mix of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, opposition to expansions of programs that benefit the poor and an identity politics that centers white Americans and conservative Christians.
You could see the power and preferences of this group in the response to the Capitol insurrection.
In the days immediately following Jan. 6, many GOP elected officials, most notably McConnell, signaled that the party should make a permanent break from Trump. Pollsfound an increased number of rank-and-file GOP voters were dissatisfied with the outgoing president. But by the time the Senate held its trial over Trumps actions a month later, it was clear that the party was basically back in line with Trump.;

Republicans Think Democrats Always Cheat
The Republican strategy has several sources of motivation, but the most important is a widely shared belief that Democrats in large cities i.e., racial minorities engage in systematic vote fraud, election after election. We win because of our ideas, we lose elections because they cheat us, insisted Senator Lindsey Graham on Fox News last night. The Bush administration pursued phantasmal vote fraud allegations, firing prosecutors for failing to uncover evidence of the schemes Republicans insisted were happening under their noses. In 2008, even a Republican as civic-minded as John McCain accused ACORN, a voter-registration group, of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy.
The persistent failure to produce evidence of mass-scale vote fraud has not discouraged Republicans from believing in its existence. The failure to expose it merely proves how well-hidden the conspiracy is. Republicans may despair of their chances of proving Trumps vote-fraud charges in open court, but many of them believe his wild lies reflect a deeper truth.

How Republicans Made Common Cause With Southern Democrats On Economic Matters
Roosevelts reforms also brought tensions in the Democratic coalition to the surface, as the solidly Democratic South wasnt too thrilled with the expansion of unions or federal power generally. As the years went on, Southern Democrats increasingly made common cause with the Republican Party to try to block any further significant expansions of government or worker power.
“In 1947, confirming a new alliance that would recast American politics for the next two generations, Taft men began to work with wealthy southern Democrats who hated the New Deals civil rights legislation and taxes,” Cox Richardson writes. This new alliance was cemented with the Taft-Hartley bill, which permitted states to pass right-to-work laws preventing mandatory union membership among employees and many did.
Taft-Hartley “stopped labor dead in its tracks at a point where unions were large, growing, and confident in their economic and political power,” Rich Yeselson has written. You can see the eventual effects above pro-Democratic unions were effectively blocked from gaining a foothold in the South and interior West, and the absence of their power made those regions more promising for Republicans’ electoral prospects.
He Gives The Republicans Full Control Of Washington Again
For all you hear about how great Barack Obama was, do you realize that he had promised to cut the national debt in half but actually more than doubled it? Thats righthe saddled you and your descendants with a tax bill that you will likely never be able to pay off. Now, with Republicans in charge, we can roll back some of the excesses of the Obama era and encourage business growth rather than government growth.

We Must Give Credit To Media And Technology
While the reason Trump voters believe Trumps lies in their psyche, we cant ignore that social media and cable news have created multiple realties in which people exist. According to Fox News, not once has Trump ever said something negative about; military service members .
Of course, Fox News is considered responsible;when compared to the even-more fringe outlets the way-the-f*ck-out-there mental prison camps like OAN and Americas News that are down-right propaganda channels devoted exclusively to milking angry republicans of their last dime, their last drop of empathy, and their last connection to a reality-based existence. They make Alex Jones look sane. Einstein was right just didnt realize at the time he was talking about political discourse.
Grand Jury Convened In Criminal Investigation Of Trump
Only one president, Grover Cleveland, has ever lost a re-election bid and come back to reclaim the White House. In modern times, one-term presidents have worried more about rehabilitating their legacies by taking on nonpartisan causes Democrat Jimmy Carter by building housing for the poor and George H.W. Bush by raising money for disaster aid, for example than about trying to shape national elections. But Trump retains a hold on the Republican electorate that is hard to overstate, and he has no intention of relinquishing it.
“There’s a reason why they’re called ‘Trump voters,'” Miller said. “They either don’t normally vote or don’t normally vote for Republicans.”
Trump lost the popular vote by more than 7 million last year and the Electoral College by the same 306-232 result by which he had won four years earlier but he got more votes than any other Republican nominee in history. And it would have taken fewer than 44,000 votes, spread across swing states Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin, to reverse the outcome.
Republicans, including Trump allies, say it’s too early to know what he will do, or what the political landscape will look like, in four years. A busload of Republican hopefuls are taking similar strides to position themselves. They include former Vice President Mike Pence, who is speaking to New Hampshire Republicans on Thursday, an event that the Concord Monitor called the kickoff of the 2024 race.
That’s basically what Trump is doing.

Klobuchar: Trump’s Actions Are Like A ‘global Watergate’ Scandal
Today, as Democrats in the House of Representatives move toward bringing articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, with the next Judiciary Committee hearing of evidence set for Monday, few Democrats are still clinging to the hope that Republicans will reach a breaking point with Trump like they did with Nixon.
“I really don’t think there is any fact that would change their minds,” Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., a member of the House Intelligence Committee, told NBC News.
Why? Two key changes since Nixon: a massive divide in American political life we hate the other team more than ever before and a media climate that fuels and reinforces that chasm, powered by Fox News on the Republican side.
Himes said he was “a little stunned by the unanimity on the Republican side,” especially among retiring lawmakers who don’t have to worry about surviving a GOP primary had they gone against Trump. “We’re in a place right now where all that matters to my Republican colleagues is the defense of the president,” he added.
No Republican congressmen have said they support impeachment. In the Senate, the entire GOP voted to condemn the impeachment inquiry, except for three moderates: Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. The three have stopped short of saying they support Trump’s impeachment, however, and it would take at least 20 Republican senators to vote to convict him in a Senate trial for removal to succeed.

More established Women - Younger Men Relationships
A recent report uncovered that 34 percent of all ladies more than 40 in the review were dating more youthful men, and 35 percent favored it to dating more seasoned men. Another ongoing investigation found that lately, 25 percent of ladies have been more youthful than their lucky men. At long last, in an ongoing overview by Cosmopolitan, 29.3 percent of men said they would date a more established lady.
For what reason is this pattern picking up notoriety? I accept there are two primary reasons. The first is that 30 years prior, there weren't the same number of single ladies more than 30. A great many people wedded in their 20s and remained wedded, regardless. As separation turned out to be all the more socially worthy, ladies during the 30s (alluded to as "panthers") and 40s (alluded to as "cougars") entered the dating scene. In any case, they regularly found that men their age favored more youthful ladies. Their decisions were normally consigned to men 15-20 years their senior. A considerable lot of these ladies in any case, were youthful on a basic level, lively and appealing and would not like to be with somebody that a lot more seasoned.
The subsequent explanation is accounts. Similarly as monetarily free men frequently favor more youthful ladies, monetarily autonomous ladies regularly lean toward more youthful men. Since ladies are not, at this point limited by funds and social standards and mores are slackening up, they are at last ready to settle on increasingly legitimate decisions with regards to an accomplice.
Shouldn't something be said about more youthful men? For what reason would they be keen on a more seasoned lady? The reasons refered to are a result of the certainty a more established lady oozes. She knows what her identity is and is OK with herself. She's straightforward and direct. A more established lady comprehends what she needs and doesn't need. She doesn't mess around and is more in charge of her feelings, which converts into less show. A more established lady is commonly a superior sweetheart and more in contact with her womanliness and exotic nature.
Shouldn't something be said about more established ladies? What do they get by being with a more youthful man? What about a conditioned, solid body, practically no stuff (contingent upon the age, no child mother show or terrible ex's), essentialness, vitality, energy, thankfulness, endurance and somebody that is consistently "all set". A more youthful man isn't compromised by their achievements - he appreciates and supports them.
What do more seasoned men think about these connections? In spite of the fact that I don't trust it's any of their concern, everybody is obviously qualified for their supposition and more often than not, it's not positive. The old twofold standard despite everything exists. More seasoned men that date more youthful ladies are respected and thought of as studs. More seasoned ladies that date more youthful men are regularly despised and thought of as absurd.
What do more youthful ladies think about these connections? Those inclination compromised by the quickly changing dating scene should remember that more established ladies are pioneering a path for them. On the off chance that they should end up single or separated from when they are more established, they will have a more extensive assortment of men to look from Dating.com
Ancestral reasoning is solid however I trust it will in the end find the present reality. In 15-20 years, these kinds of connections will never again be such a serious deal. Welcome to the "Cougar Revolution".
Lucia is a dating and relationship master gaining practical experience in Cougar connections. She is likewise a coordinated reporter, keynote speaker, creator of "Lucia's Lessons of Love" and host of "The Art of Love" radio show.
Lucia has showed up in more than 100 national and global TV and radio shows including Dr. Phil, The Tyra Banks Show, E! Diversion, an hour Australia, The CBS Early Show and The KTLA News, who considered her the "Sovereign of the Cougar Jungle".

The Women of Monster Jam Rule the Final Day of World Finals
The first night of the inaugural World Finals in Orlando still had people talking about what they witnessed. As the sun rose over Camping World Stadium, the drivers and crews were still a buzz after witnessing one of the most innovative and deserving guys in the industry finally win the championship that has eluded him for almost two decades.
A new day still meant a lot of work being done, especially by the dirt crew inside the stadium.
When the competition concluded in the late hours of Friday, and the trucks were moved to the pit area, the track builders immediately went to work, moving some of the mounds and obstacles that made the racing tunnels into a completely different look for Saturday. The reason this happens is for Saturday, the competitions are completely different. The fast race course was becoming a freestyle fun house for 24 trucks, with obstacles ranging from a tire bump, drain pipes, telephone poles, and even a fire truck. But, the racing lanes weren’t just left all plain and alone either.
One was kept simple, leading to the floor, but the other was given a treatment that one may see more of in the Olympics, at least when it came to winter. The left lane got an added “ski jump” at the bottom of the floor, meaning it was either big air or big calamity for whomever hit it.
Also added to the floor was a k-rail, but only for a short period. Starting the night, eight drivers were going to take on a new skill challenge to determine a world champion: the high jump.
Similar to what is seen at the X-Games in the skateboard big-air competition where they measure the height from the half-pipe, the trucks will back into the k-rail to get an even start and hit a reinforced metal ramp. The officials had a laser measurement to determine the height of the jump from the top of the ramp to the nose of the truck. Most height meant a championship.
Fans entered the day enjoying the sun, and feeling right at home. Every team worked extra time in order to have the machines ready for the evening festivities, and after an over 70-truck parade through the infield and into Camping World Stadium, the Saturday night showdown was on, with the high jump competition kicking things off.
The eight-truck field then got reduced to seven, as Rosalee Ramer was not making the call in the Wild Flower, so it was Scott Buetow in his beautiful El Toro Loco Ice machine starting the night off with an impressive jump of 45.124 feet, despite the hard landing that caused him to roll to the side.
Two trucks later, Todd Leduc launched the Monster Energy Cadillac to the skies, landing so hard he rolled down the hill and back onto his BKT’s with a jump of 45.385 feet to overtake the lead. The launch held up till Camden Murphy came out in Bakugan Dragonoid, but not as in taking over. Murphy held enough height to only tie Leduc in height, but it meant that he would be in second since Leduc set the mark first.
With one truck left, Leduc was sitting pretty, until a pretty blue puppy came on the floor with Cynthia Gauthier at the wheel. The Monster Mutt Dalmatian Ice machine launched hard and soared to the skies, going so high that the rear tires traveled further than the front, and the blonde driver had to endure a landing on the downside of the ramp before getting back on the wheels. When the measurement came up, Gauthier began to dance with excitement because she reached a mark of 45.472 feet, just barely passing Leduc and Murphy, meaning she was officially the inaugural Monster Jam High Jump world champion.
This was the first championship by a female driver in the sport since Debra “Madusa” Misceli in 2005, so she was excited beyond words.
HIGH JUMP RESULTS (Measured in Feet):
El Toro Loco Ice: 45.124
Max-D Fire: 42.954
Monster Energy: 45.385
Megalodon Fire: 43.885
Avenger: 43.475
Bakugan Dragonoid: 45.385
Monster Mutt Dalmatian Ice: 45.472
High Jump Champion: Cynthia Gauthier, Monster Mutt Dalmatian Ice
Once the track crew cleared the k-rail out of the way, and smoothed over the uneven dirt, it was time for the title that everyone came to see be battled out. A field of 24 trucks came out ready for action, as it was time to crown a world champion in freestyle.
The first truck out the gate was the biggest name, with the newest driver to take the wheel. Triple Threat Central champion Brandon Vinson came out hard on the fresh track, and went big really fast on one of the hillsides. The landing, however, was catastrophic as the entire front axle on the right side snapped from the housing, almost folding under itself as if a chef was folding dough to put in a pasta roller. The store to start the night off, which was determined by the average score the fans gave via the mobile app, 7.237 on a scale of 10.
The wreckage crew came out and had to work extra hard to move Vinson’s truck to the side of the track, and once they were clear, rolling down the racing ramp to the floor was the previous night’s surprise winner, Showdown champion Linsey Read in Scooby Doo.
Her run was fast, intense, and seemed like she took all her arena efforts and finally let loose in a big venue. But it almost went wrong off a jump in the center of the track, yet instead she gave the fans something to really remember. Her crime fighting dog grabbed a rut on the left rear on a wheelie, sending the truck in a full cartwheel as though it was on a gymnastics mat. Read brought the truck back on all four tires, and immediately proceeded to pull off a backflip in the Florida sunset.
The score came down from the fans, and she immediately got excited as her score of 9.371 put her solidly in the seat, and she began enjoying the view as many of her fellow competitors began falling short.
Newly crowned racing world champion, Jimmy Creten in Bounty Hunter, came up short, and even the second Digger driver to hit the track, Morgan Kane, didn’t have enough to get the lead. The first real “wow factor” came from the third Digger driver, Randy Brown, and it only took one move to do so.
Brown lined up first at the new ski jump, the first driver to do so, and soared completely over the landing pad, hitting hard on the front nose, and rolling forward back onto the tires. He tried to continue, but officials hit the remote shut-off as he flattened a tire, and also bent a four-link bar and blew out a steering ram. His score of 7.480 was enough to get into the top-five, but far from being a leader.
After Brown was Bryce Kenny in the Great Clips Mohawk Warrior marking the halfway point in the field with a run that saw him pull off a wheelstand and a save that saw the truck land on all corners and still continue to ride on.
Despite the solid run, the score of 8.350 was not enough to take the lead, and finally the show hit intermission.
Read got a chance to relax, but also worry, since the second half of the field was loaded with former world champions, and many of the toughest competitors on the season.
It was Murphy, however, that provided the next big run of the night when his dragon-themed truck had such a run that was filled with big air, lots of momentum, and one hit that just like Vinson earlier in the night tore the entire front axle out from under the truck. Yet despite all that, the score was only enough for 9.250, which put him solidly in second between Read and Whiplash driver Brianna Mahon.
Three trucks later, one of the trucks that has seen a few different drivers came out with a much different sound. The BroDozer diesel came charging out with Heavy D at the wheel, and he was taking no prisoners with his run. Each hit was getting height, and distance, until one hit put the truck on the side and into a barrel roll. Yet, driven to not give in, he stayed on the throttle and saw the modified Super Duty go down off the dirt pad, onto the nose, and with one hit of the loud pedal, it came back onto the wheels.
The crowd was in a frenzy as he continued on and pulled a backflip, only to shatter the rear suspension on the landing. There was still a lot of time on the clock, but with the truck unable to continue, the BroDozer came in with only an 8.987 score, meaning Read was still in the lead with five trucks remaining.
Those five trucks had to wait a bit, because another intermission was coming, although this one was not exactly in the plans.
Florida has always been a bit unpredictable in some instances this year with the World Finals, but this one was completely out of officials and driver control. The skies opened up just a bit with rain, but the biggest thing that came across the radios of the track crew was lightning in the area. The hosts then got on the microphone and told the fans what was going on, and everyone in the stadium took shelter under the grandstands just in case lightning would strike. Drivers got out of their trucks and hit the stairwells to get away from the skies, as for the first time in history, the World Finals was under a weather delay.
It’s not the first time the World Finals saw rain, as the 2005 show had rain throughout the first half of the show, and it continued to fall into freestyle.
At about 20 minutes after nine, the fans were instructed to wait, and as is protocol for Camping World Stadium, a lightning strike in the area required a 30 minute delay.
It turns out, the delay went just beyond an hour, as the track crew went to work trying to get the floor back to what it was pre-storm, but it appeared any post-show encore idea seemed to be out the window with the slick surface. However, by 10:20 p.m., fans made their way back to their seats and it was time to get back to the action. Five trucks remained, including four former freestyle champions, and all were hoping to get the better of Read. However, they were on a much different track than any previous driver, so they had to adjust as needed.
Surprisingly, the track was in better shape than expected, as Neil Elliott in Max-D figured out as he made his run. He, however, fell short with a run scored at 7.196.
Adam Anderson tried to get the final Grave Digger to the top of the list, but he could not get his truck to adjust to the conditions. Then, Leduc seemed ready to go in his Monster Energy machine, even without the front nose piece.
How did he start…the same way he did when he won his title in 2014, roaring down the entrance ramp and going head-long into the first hill he saw, soaring the black and green SUV to the second-level grandstand across the floor, and not letting the truck break under him.
The “Leduc Leap” as it has been called stood true in a new venue, yet it still couldn’t get him to the lead, reaching a score of 9.052.
Two drivers were left, as Tom Meents rolled his Max-D Fire truck out and put on a classic run from the over 20-year veteran champion, but he too fell short with only an 8.203 score. Read’s emotions were causing her to shake, her nerves were at their breaking point. The only truck standing between her and the most unprecedented upset in World Finals history was last year’s champion, opting to go last like he normally does, Ryan Anderson and his classic Willy’s, Son-uva Digger.
The two-time champion, son of the Hall of Fame Grave Digger driver Dennis Anderson, made his own name in his creation and was putting on a run that he felt would win. But, the conditions got the best of him, and time ran out. Fans judged his performance at an 8.337, and at that moment, a historic weekend in Orlando suddenly became the most unprecedented and unpredictable night in World Finals history.
In her first official World Finals, having earned the opportunity one night earlier with the Showdown victory, Read was overcome with emotion as she took home the World Freestyle Championship in her first crack at the championship.
It was the first world championship won by a female driver since Madusa shared that title in 2014 alongside Meents and Lupe Soza, and it also is the first time two female drivers placed in the top three of freestyle in the World Finals, as Mahon held on to earn third place with Murphy staying in second. Finally, ensuring this historic night for the female drivers was set in granite, it’s the first time that women swept the two main competitions.
On this night, the women ruled, and “Girl Power” reached its peak.

Freestyle World Champion: Linsey Read, Scooby Doo
The rain almost ended the night, but it was not the World Finals with one last moment to remember. It looked as though the 2019 freestyle encore had to be shelved because of the track. However, the dirt crew pulled off all the sludge that was built up from the sudden rain storm, and officials then declared the encore was on to close out the monumental night.
A field of seven trucks hit the track and lined up side-by-side at the center of the stadium, right by the biggest ramp built for distance and height.
To close out this year’s World Finals, the encore was a record-breaking attempt to clear seven trucks in a stadium setting. From the tunnel rolled the specially prepared Monster Jam truck, set on the Max-D stunt chassis that has front flipped, double backflipped, and a year ago launched higher than possibly Gauthier’s winning performance on the night. At the wheel this time, however, was Colton Eichelberger, the stepson of Meents.
After a few test runs, he pulled the belts as tight as he could, keyed the radio to his dad as he coached him on what he needed to do. After ensuring the truck was ready, and he was ready, the crowd got their cameras out as Eichelberger launched forward.
The speed was right, and the launch was right where he wanted it. The truck went slightly sideways in the air, but with the speed and the height, Eichelberger cleared the entire line with ease. He came down hard on the dirt and slid into one of the containers, breaking a planetary hub in the process, but the jump was so successful he could have cleared at least eight trucks.
With fireworks going off, Eichelberger showed his appreciation to the crowd, and with that the 2019 World Finals drew to a close.
The successful move to a new city and new venue was officially a success, and Monster Jam capitalized as next year’s big event will return to Camping World Stadium on the same weekend. The ticket and ordering info will be available soon on MonsterJam.com, so keep your eyes open, because there’s nowhere to go but up for the sport’s biggest event.

They had often gotten away with it for years, and for those they harassed, it seemed as if the perpetrators would never pay any consequences. Then came the report that detailed Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assaults and harassment, and his fall from Hollywood’s heights.
A year later, even as the #MeToo movement meets a crackling backlash, it’s possible to take some stock of how the Weinstein case has changed the corridors of power. A New York Times analysis has found that, since the publishing of the exposé (followed days later by a New Yorker investigation), at least 200 prominent men have lost their jobs after public allegations of sexual harassment. A few, including Mr. Weinstein, face criminal charges. At least 920 people were reportedly subjected to sexual misconduct by someone on the list. And nearly half of the men who have been replaced were succeeded by women.
In the year preceding the Weinstein report, by contrast, fewer than 30 high-profile people made the news for resigning or being fired after public accusations of sexual misconduct. The downfall of the Fox host Bill O’Reilly in April 2017 turned out to have been just a foreshock of the changes to come.
“We’ve never seen something like this before,” said Joan Williams, a law professor who studies gender at the University of California, Hastings. “Women have always been seen as risky, because they might do something like have a baby. But men are now being seen as more risky hires.”
[Sign up here for Gender Letter, our newsletter that helps you keep up with the world, and the women shaping it.]
Sexual harassment has hardly been erased in the workplace. Federal law still does not fully protect huge groups of women, including those who work freelance or at companies with fewer than 15 employees. New workplace policies have little effect without deeper cultural change. And as the Supreme Court confirmation battle over Brett Kavanaugh showed, Americans disagree on how people accused of sexual misconduct should be held accountable and what the standard of evidence should be.
But the analysis shows that the #MeToo movement shook, and is still shaking, power structures in society’s most visible sectors. The Times gathered cases of prominent people who lost their main jobs, significant leadership positions or major contracts, and whose ousters were publicly covered in news reports.
Forty-three percent of their replacements were women. Of those, one-third are in news media, one-quarter in government, and one-fifth in entertainment and the arts. For example, Robin Wright replaced Kevin Spacey as lead actor on “House of Cards,” Emily Nemens replaced Lorin Stein as editor of “The Paris Review,” and Tina Smith replaced Al Franken as a senator from Minnesota.
People Replacing Men Accused of Sexual Misconduct
Women are starting to gain power in organizations that have been jolted by harassment, with potentially far-reaching effects.
“I find it so interesting the number of people who come up to me and say, ‘Thank you for stepping in when someone needed to step in,’” Ms. Smith said. “That’s a lot of what women do a lot of the time, right?”
Appointing a woman does not guarantee change. Women have also harassed and covered up harassment. Some women face the glass cliff — in which women are appointed to leadership in times of organizational crisis, when the chance of failure is higher. And while the share of women who have risen to power in the wake of Mr. Weinstein’s fall is significant, women are still vastly underrepresented at the top of American institutions.
Research has repeatedly shown that women tend to lead differently. In general, they create more respectful work environments, where harassment is less likely to flourish and where women feel more comfortable reporting it. Female leaders tend to hire and promote more women; pay them more equally; and make companies more profitable. Women bring their life experiences and perspectives to decision-making, and that can help in business because women make the vast majority of purchasing decisions. In government, women have been shown to be more collaborative and bipartisan, and promote more policies supporting women, children and social welfare.
That has been true in Congress, said Ms. Smith, a Democrat. In a highly polarized Senate, women tend to be unusually collegial across party lines, she said, and the 23 female senators meet for dinner monthly.
Nature Al FrankenNov. 16, 2017
U.S. senator for Minnesota
Resigned after accusations of groping and improper advances from at least six women. He apologized but denied many of the allegations.

“I believe you’re successful and you get things done if you have relationships with people,” she said. “That’s the ground for accomplishing something, certainly in the legislative world.”
One example: She and Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican from Alaska, discovered that they both worked on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline in high school. The bond they built from shared experience helped them when they co-sponsored mental health legislation that was included in the opioid crisis response bill passed last month.
In news media and entertainment, many women who ascended to jobs vacated by men have changed the tone and substance of what they offer audiences — and in some cases, the fallout from #MeToo has shaped their decisions.
Nature Roy PriceOct. 12, 2017
Head of Amazon Studios
Resigned after a Hollywood producer accused him of making unwanted sexual advances.
▼ View all 201 cases below
Jennifer Salke, who took over for Roy Price as head of Amazon Studios, has said Amazon needed more “big, addictive shows for women.” She has announced deals with the actors Lena Waithe and Nicole Kidman, among others.
Since Tanzina Vega took over from John Hockenberry as host of “The Takeaway,” the public radio program, she has done many episodes about gender, including on masculinity, women’s anger and the intersection of gender and race — topics that she had been covering for years but that she said were now part of the national conversation.
“I don’t think that’s necessarily because I’m a woman, but it’s just that as a woman, as a Latina, I know when the conversation hasn’t been about women, and I’m deeply sensitive to that,” said Ms. Vega, who was previously a reporter at CNN and The New York Times.
Nature John HockenberryDec. 1, 2017
Host of WNYC’s “The Takeaway”
After he left “The Takeaway,” nine women accused Mr. Hockenberry of sexual harassment, including unwelcome sexual advances. He apologized, describing his behavior as “rude, aggressive and impolite.”

Women’s personal experiences, including as mothers, can make workplaces more welcoming to other women. That’s the hope of Christine Tsai, who is chief executive of the tech investment firm 500 Startups, where she replaced Dave McClure in early 2017 after an internal investigation into his behavior toward women in the tech community.
“I’ve erred on the side as C.E.O. of being more open about it, like if one of my kids has an appointment, so hopefully it creates an environment where people don’t feel like they have to hide that they have obligations to family,” she said. “Sure, a guy can be sensitive to those things, but I think it helps having that empathy of what it’s like for moms.”
The women who have risen, however, can only make so much change — they are still operating in a male-dominated system. More than 10 percent of the ousted men have tried to make a comeback, or voiced a desire to, and many never lost financial power.
The comedian Louis C.K. recently took the stage at the Comedy Cellar in New York, raising questions of how long is long enough for people to be banished from their field, and who gets to decide. Garrison Keillor, the radio host, has restarted “The Writer’s Almanac” as a podcast and reportedly received $275,000 for a deal in which Minnesota Public Radio reposted archived episodes of his programs. Jerry Richardson, the founder and former owner of the Carolina Panthers, was fined $2.75 million by the N.F.L. after he was accused of sexual harassment — but sold the team for at least $2.2 billion, a record amount.
When people accused of harassment return to power without making amends — or never lose it, at least financially — it limits the post-Weinstein movement’s potential to change how power is exercised in American society.
They have not experienced the same type of trauma that survivors have, said Tarana Burke, the founder of the #MeToo movement, which she started in 2006 to support survivors of sexual harassment and violence (the hashtag went viral a year ago this month as women used it to tell their stories of harassment and violence). And very few have shown that they have taken responsibility for their actions or offered private apologies to those they harmed, she said.
“Where’s the self-reflection and accountability?” she said. “Perhaps if we saw some evidence of that, then we can have a more robust conversation about the road to redemption.”
In the meantime, these women say, there are more than enough qualified women ready to take their places in power.
“A bunch of us who took over these jobs got promoted because we were really good at these jobs,” said Ms. Vega, the radio host. “We have the skills, we have the experience, we have the work ethic and we have the smarts to do it, and it’s time for us to do this job.”

They had often gotten away with it for years, and for those they harassed, it seemed as if the perpetrators would never pay any consequences. Then came the report that detailed Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assaults and harassment, and his fall from Hollywood’s heights.
A year later, even as the #MeToo movement meets a crackling backlash, it’s possible to take some stock of how the Weinstein case has changed the corridors of power. A New York Times analysis has found that, since the publishing of the exposé (followed days later by a New Yorker investigation), at least 200 prominent men have lost their jobs after public allegations of sexual harassment. A few, including Mr. Weinstein, face criminal charges. At least 920 people were reportedly subjected to sexual misconduct by someone on the list. And nearly half of the men who have been replaced were succeeded by women.
In the year preceding the Weinstein report, by contrast, fewer than 30 high-profile people made the news for resigning or being fired after public accusations of sexual misconduct. The downfall of the Fox host Bill O’Reilly in April 2017 turned out to have been just a foreshock of the changes to come.
“We’ve never seen something like this before,” said Joan Williams, a law professor who studies gender at the University of California, Hastings. “Women have always been seen as risky, because they might do something like have a baby. But men are now being seen as more risky hires.”
[Sign up here for Gender Letter, our newsletter that helps you keep up with the world, and the women shaping it.]
Sexual harassment has hardly been erased in the workplace. Federal law still does not fully protect huge groups of women, including those who work freelance or at companies with fewer than 15 employees. New workplace policies have little effect without deeper cultural change. And as the Supreme Court confirmation battle over Brett Kavanaugh showed, Americans disagree on how people accused of sexual misconduct should be held accountable and what the standard of evidence should be.
But the analysis shows that the #MeToo movement shook, and is still shaking, power structures in society’s most visible sectors. The Times gathered cases of prominent people who lost their main jobs, significant leadership positions or major contracts, and whose ousters were publicly covered in news reports.
Forty-three percent of their replacements were women. Of those, one-third are in news media, one-quarter in government, and one-fifth in entertainment and the arts. For example, Robin Wright replaced Kevin Spacey as lead actor on “House of Cards,” Emily Nemens replaced Lorin Stein as editor of “The Paris Review,” and Tina Smith replaced Al Franken as a senator from Minnesota.
People Replacing Men Accused of Sexual Misconduct
Women are starting to gain power in organizations that have been jolted by harassment, with potentially far-reaching effects.
“I find it so interesting the number of people who come up to me and say, ‘Thank you for stepping in when someone needed to step in,’” Ms. Smith said. “That’s a lot of what women do a lot of the time, right?”
Appointing a woman does not guarantee change. Women have also harassed and covered up harassment. Some women face the glass cliff — in which women are appointed to leadership in times of organizational crisis, when the chance of failure is higher. And while the share of women who have risen to power in the wake of Mr. Weinstein’s fall is significant, women are still vastly underrepresented at the top of American institutions.
Research has repeatedly shown that women tend to lead differently. In general, they create more respectful work environments, where harassment is less likely to flourish and where women feel more comfortable reporting it. Female leaders tend to hire and promote more women; pay them more equally; and make companies more profitable. Women bring their life experiences and perspectives to decision-making, and that can help in business because women make the vast majority of purchasing decisions. In government, women have been shown to be more collaborative and bipartisan, and promote more policies supporting women, children and social welfare.
That has been true in Congress, said Ms. Smith, a Democrat. In a highly polarized Senate, women tend to be unusually collegial across party lines, she said, and the 23 female senators meet for dinner monthly.
Nature Al FrankenNov. 16, 2017
U.S. senator for Minnesota
Resigned after accusations of groping and improper advances from at least six women. He apologized but denied many of the allegations.

“I believe you’re successful and you get things done if you have relationships with people,” she said. “That’s the ground for accomplishing something, certainly in the legislative world.”
One example: She and Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican from Alaska, discovered that they both worked on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline in high school. The bond they built from shared experience helped them when they co-sponsored mental health legislation that was included in the opioid crisis response bill passed last month.
In news media and entertainment, many women who ascended to jobs vacated by men have changed the tone and substance of what they offer audiences — and in some cases, the fallout from #MeToo has shaped their decisions.
Nature Roy PriceOct. 12, 2017
Head of Amazon Studios
Resigned after a Hollywood producer accused him of making unwanted sexual advances.

Jennifer Salke, who took over for Roy Price as head of Amazon Studios, has said Amazon needed more “big, addictive shows for women.” She has announced deals with the actors Lena Waithe and Nicole Kidman, among others.
Since Tanzina Vega took over from John Hockenberry as host of “The Takeaway,” the public radio program, she has done many episodes about gender, including on masculinity, women’s anger and the intersection of gender and race — topics that she had been covering for years but that she said were now part of the national conversation.
“I don’t think that’s necessarily because I’m a woman, but it’s just that as a woman, as a Latina, I know when the conversation hasn’t been about women, and I’m deeply sensitive to that,” said Ms. Vega, who was previously a reporter at CNN and The New York Times.
Nature John HockenberryDec. 1, 2017
Host of WNYC’s “The Takeaway”
After he left “The Takeaway,” nine women accused Mr. Hockenberry of sexual harassment, including unwelcome sexual advances. He apologized, describing his behavior as “rude, aggressive and impolite.”

Women’s personal experiences, including as mothers, can make workplaces more welcoming to other women. That’s the hope of Christine Tsai, who is chief executive of the tech investment firm 500 Startups, where she replaced Dave McClure in early 2017 after an internal investigation into his behavior toward women in the tech community.
“I’ve erred on the side as C.E.O. of being more open about it, like if one of my kids has an appointment, so hopefully it creates an environment where people don’t feel like they have to hide that they have obligations to family,” she said. “Sure, a guy can be sensitive to those things, but I think it helps having that empathy of what it’s like for moms.”
The women who have risen, however, can only make so much change — they are still operating in a male-dominated system. More than 10 percent of the ousted men have tried to make a comeback, or voiced a desire to, and many never lost financial power.
The comedian Louis C.K. recently took the stage at the Comedy Cellar in New York, raising questions of how long is long enough for people to be banished from their field, and who gets to decide. Garrison Keillor, the radio host, has restarted “The Writer’s Almanac” as a podcast and reportedly received $275,000 for a deal in which Minnesota Public Radio reposted archived episodes of his programs. Jerry Richardson, the founder and former owner of the Carolina Panthers, was fined $2.75 million by the N.F.L. after he was accused of sexual harassment — but sold the team for at least $2.2 billion, a record amount.
When people accused of harassment return to power without making amends — or never lose it, at least financially — it limits the post-Weinstein movement’s potential to change how power is exercised in American society.
They have not experienced the same type of trauma that survivors have, said Tarana Burke, the founder of the #MeToo movement, which she started in 2006 to support survivors of sexual harassment and violence (the hashtag went viral a year ago this month as women used it to tell their stories of harassment and violence). And very few have shown that they have taken responsibility for their actions or offered private apologies to those they harmed, she said.
“Where’s the self-reflection and accountability?” she said. “Perhaps if we saw some evidence of that, then we can have a more robust conversation about the road to redemption.”
In the meantime, these women say, there are more than enough qualified women ready to take their places in power.
“A bunch of us who took over these jobs got promoted because we were really good at these jobs,” said Ms. Vega, the radio host. “We have the skills, we have the experience, we have the work ethic and we have the smarts to do it, and it’s time for us to do this job.”

They had often gotten away with it for years, and for those they harassed, it seemed as if the perpetrators would never pay any consequences. Then came the report that detailed Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assaults and harassment, and his fall from Hollywood’s heights.
A year later, even as the #MeToo movement meets a crackling backlash, it’s possible to take some stock of how the Weinstein case has changed the corridors of power. A New York Times analysis has found that, since the publishing of the exposé (followed days later by a New Yorker investigation), at least 200 prominent men have lost their jobs after public allegations of sexual harassment. A few, including Mr. Weinstein, face criminal charges. At least 920 people were reportedly subjected to sexual misconduct by someone on the list. And nearly half of the men who have been replaced were succeeded by women.
In the year preceding the Weinstein report, by contrast, fewer than 30 high-profile people made the news for resigning or being fired after public accusations of sexual misconduct. The downfall of the Fox host Bill O’Reilly in April 2017 turned out to have been just a foreshock of the changes to come.
“We’ve never seen something like this before,” said Joan Williams, a law professor who studies gender at the University of California, Hastings. “Women have always been seen as risky, because they might do something like have a baby. But men are now being seen as more risky hires.”
[Sign up here for Gender Letter, our newsletter that helps you keep up with the world, and the women shaping it.]
Sexual harassment has hardly been erased in the workplace. Federal law still does not fully protect huge groups of women, including those who work freelance or at companies with fewer than 15 employees. New workplace policies have little effect without deeper cultural change. And as the Supreme Court confirmation battle over Brett Kavanaugh showed, Americans disagree on how people accused of sexual misconduct should be held accountable and what the standard of evidence should be.
But the analysis shows that the #MeToo movement shook, and is still shaking, power structures in society’s most visible sectors. The Times gathered cases of prominent people who lost their main jobs, significant leadership positions or major contracts, and whose ousters were publicly covered in news reports.
Forty-three percent of their replacements were women. Of those, one-third are in news media, one-quarter in government, and one-fifth in entertainment and the arts. For example, Robin Wright replaced Kevin Spacey as lead actor on “House of Cards,” Emily Nemens replaced Lorin Stein as editor of “The Paris Review,” and Tina Smith replaced Al Franken as a senator from Minnesota.
People Replacing Men Accused of Sexual Misconduct
Women are starting to gain power in organizations that have been jolted by harassment, with potentially far-reaching effects.
“I find it so interesting the number of people who come up to me and say, ‘Thank you for stepping in when someone needed to step in,’” Ms. Smith said. “That’s a lot of what women do a lot of the time, right?”
Appointing a woman does not guarantee change. Women have also harassed and covered up harassment. Some women face the glass cliff — in which women are appointed to leadership in times of organizational crisis, when the chance of failure is higher. And while the share of women who have risen to power in the wake of Mr. Weinstein’s fall is significant, women are still vastly underrepresented at the top of American institutions.
Research has repeatedly shown that women tend to lead differently. In general, they create more respectful work environments, where harassment is less likely to flourish and where women feel more comfortable reporting it. Female leaders tend to hire and promote more women; pay them more equally; and make companies more profitable. Women bring their life experiences and perspectives to decision-making, and that can help in business because women make the vast majority of purchasing decisions. In government, women have been shown to be more collaborative and bipartisan, and promote more policies supporting women, children and social welfare.
That has been true in Congress, said Ms. Smith, a Democrat. In a highly polarized Senate, women tend to be unusually collegial across party lines, she said, and the 23 female senators meet for dinner monthly.
Nature Al FrankenNov. 16, 2017
U.S. senator for Minnesota
Resigned after accusations of groping and improper advances from at least six women. He apologized but denied many of the allegations.

“I believe you’re successful and you get things done if you have relationships with people,” she said. “That’s the ground for accomplishing something, certainly in the legislative world.”
One example: She and Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican from Alaska, discovered that they both worked on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline in high school. The bond they built from shared experience helped them when they co-sponsored mental health legislation that was included in the opioid crisis response bill passed last month.
In news media and entertainment, many women who ascended to jobs vacated by men have changed the tone and substance of what they offer audiences — and in some cases, the fallout from #MeToo has shaped their decisions.
Nature Roy PriceOct. 12, 2017
Head of Amazon Studios
Resigned after a Hollywood producer accused him of making unwanted sexual advances.

Jennifer Salke, who took over for Roy Price as head of Amazon Studios, has said Amazon needed more “big, addictive shows for women.” She has announced deals with the actors Lena Waithe and Nicole Kidman, among others.
Since Tanzina Vega took over from John Hockenberry as host of “The Takeaway,” the public radio program, she has done many episodes about gender, including on masculinity, women’s anger and the intersection of gender and race — topics that she had been covering for years but that she said were now part of the national conversation.
“I don’t think that’s necessarily because I’m a woman, but it’s just that as a woman, as a Latina, I know when the conversation hasn’t been about women, and I’m deeply sensitive to that,” said Ms. Vega, who was previously a reporter at CNN and The New York Times.
Nature John HockenberryDec. 1, 2017
Host of WNYC’s “The Takeaway”
After he left “The Takeaway,” nine women accused Mr. Hockenberry of sexual harassment, including unwelcome sexual advances. He apologized, describing his behavior as “rude, aggressive and impolite.”

Women’s personal experiences, including as mothers, can make workplaces more welcoming to other women. That’s the hope of Christine Tsai, who is chief executive of the tech investment firm 500 Startups, where she replaced Dave McClure in early 2017 after an internal investigation into his behavior toward women in the tech community.
“I’ve erred on the side as C.E.O. of being more open about it, like if one of my kids has an appointment, so hopefully it creates an environment where people don’t feel like they have to hide that they have obligations to family,” she said. “Sure, a guy can be sensitive to those things, but I think it helps having that empathy of what it’s like for moms.”
The women who have risen, however, can only make so much change — they are still operating in a male-dominated system. More than 10 percent of the ousted men have tried to make a comeback, or voiced a desire to, and many never lost financial power.
The comedian Louis C.K. recently took the stage at the Comedy Cellar in New York, raising questions of how long is long enough for people to be banished from their field, and who gets to decide. Garrison Keillor, the radio host, has restarted “The Writer’s Almanac” as a podcast and reportedly received $275,000 for a deal in which Minnesota Public Radio reposted archived episodes of his programs. Jerry Richardson, the founder and former owner of the Carolina Panthers, was fined $2.75 million by the N.F.L. after he was accused of sexual harassment — but sold the team for at least $2.2 billion, a record amount.
When people accused of harassment return to power without making amends — or never lose it, at least financially — it limits the post-Weinstein movement’s potential to change how power is exercised in American society.
They have not experienced the same type of trauma that survivors have, said Tarana Burke, the founder of the #MeToo movement, which she started in 2006 to support survivors of sexual harassment and violence (the hashtag went viral a year ago this month as women used it to tell their stories of harassment and violence). And very few have shown that they have taken responsibility for their actions or offered private apologies to those they harmed, she said.
“Where’s the self-reflection and accountability?” she said. “Perhaps if we saw some evidence of that, then we can have a more robust conversation about the road to redemption.”
In the meantime, these women say, there are more than enough qualified women ready to take their places in power.
“A bunch of us who took over these jobs got promoted because we were really good at these jobs,” said Ms. Vega, the radio host. “We have the skills, we have the experience, we have the work ethic and we have the smarts to do it, and it’s time for us to do this job.”

They had often gotten away with it for years, and for those they harassed, it seemed as if the perpetrators would never pay any consequences. Then came the report that detailed Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assaults and harassment, and his fall from Hollywood’s heights.
A year later, even as the #MeToo movement meets a crackling backlash, it’s possible to take some stock of how the Weinstein case has changed the corridors of power. A New York Times analysis has found that, since the publishing of the exposé (followed days later by a New Yorker investigation), at least 200 prominent men have lost their jobs after public allegations of sexual harassment. A few, including Mr. Weinstein, face criminal charges. At least 920 people were reportedly subjected to sexual misconduct by someone on the list. And nearly half of the men who have been replaced were succeeded by women.
In the year preceding the Weinstein report, by contrast, fewer than 30 high-profile people made the news for resigning or being fired after public accusations of sexual misconduct. The downfall of the Fox host Bill O’Reilly in April 2017 turned out to have been just a foreshock of the changes to come.
“We’ve never seen something like this before,” said Joan Williams, a law professor who studies gender at the University of California, Hastings. “Women have always been seen as risky, because they might do something like have a baby. But men are now being seen as more risky hires.”

Sexual harassment has hardly been erased in the workplace. Federal law still does not fully protect huge groups of women, including those who work freelance or at companies with fewer than 15 employees. New workplace policies have little effect without deeper cultural change. And as the Supreme Court confirmation battle over Brett Kavanaugh showed, Americans disagree on how people accused of sexual misconduct should be held accountable and what the standard of evidence should be.
But the analysis shows that the #MeToo movement shook, and is still shaking, power structures in society’s most visible sectors. The Times gathered cases of prominent people who lost their main jobs, significant leadership positions or major contracts, and whose ousters were publicly covered in news reports.
Forty-three percent of their replacements were women. Of those, one-third are in news media, one-quarter in government, and one-fifth in entertainment and the arts. For example, Robin Wright replaced Kevin Spacey as lead actor on “House of Cards,” Emily Nemens replaced Lorin Stein as editor of “The Paris Review,” and Tina Smith replaced Al Franken as a senator from Minnesota.
People Replacing Men Accused of Sexual Misconduct
Women are starting to gain power in organizations that have been jolted by harassment, with potentially far-reaching effects.
“I find it so interesting the number of people who come up to me and say, ‘Thank you for stepping in when someone needed to step in,’” Ms. Smith said. “That’s a lot of what women do a lot of the time, right?”
Appointing a woman does not guarantee change. Women have also harassed and covered up harassment. Some women face the glass cliff — in which women are appointed to leadership in times of organizational crisis, when the chance of failure is higher. And while the share of women who have risen to power in the wake of Mr. Weinstein’s fall is significant, women are still vastly underrepresented at the top of American institutions.
Research has repeatedly shown that women tend to lead differently. In general, they create more respectful work environments, where harassment is less likely to flourish and where women feel more comfortable reporting it. Female leaders tend to hire and promote more women; pay them more equally; and make companies more profitable. Women bring their life experiences and perspectives to decision-making, and that can help in business because women make the vast majority of purchasing decisions. In government, women have been shown to be more collaborative and bipartisan, and promote more policies supporting women, children and social welfare.
That has been true in Congress, said Ms. Smith, a Democrat. In a highly polarized Senate, women tend to be unusually collegial across party lines, she said, and the 23 female senators meet for dinner monthly.
Nature Al FrankenNov. 16, 2017
U.S. senator for Minnesota
Resigned after accusations of groping and improper advances from at least six women. He apologized but denied many of the allegations.

“I believe you’re successful and you get things done if you have relationships with people,” she said. “That’s the ground for accomplishing something, certainly in the legislative world.”
One example: She and Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican from Alaska, discovered that they both worked on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline in high school. The bond they built from shared experience helped them when they co-sponsored mental health legislation that was included in the opioid crisis response bill passed last month.
In news media and entertainment, many women who ascended to jobs vacated by men have changed the tone and substance of what they offer audiences — and in some cases, the fallout from #MeToo has shaped their decisions.
Nature Roy PriceOct. 12, 2017
Head of Amazon Studios
Resigned after a Hollywood producer accused him of making unwanted sexual advances.

Jennifer Salke, who took over for Roy Price as head of Amazon Studios, has said Amazon needed more “big, addictive shows for women.” She has announced deals with the actors Lena Waithe and Nicole Kidman, among others.
Since Tanzina Vega took over from John Hockenberry as host of “The Takeaway,” the public radio program, she has done many episodes about gender, including on masculinity, women’s anger and the intersection of gender and race — topics that she had been covering for years but that she said were now part of the national conversation.
“I don’t think that’s necessarily because I’m a woman, but it’s just that as a woman, as a Latina, I know when the conversation hasn’t been about women, and I’m deeply sensitive to that,” said Ms. Vega, who was previously a reporter at CNN and The New York Times.
Nature John HockenberryDec. 1, 2017
Host of WNYC’s “The Takeaway”
After he left “The Takeaway,” nine women accused Mr. Hockenberry of sexual harassment, including unwelcome sexual advances. He apologized, describing his behavior as “rude, aggressive and impolite.”

Women’s personal experiences, including as mothers, can make workplaces more welcoming to other women. That’s the hope of Christine Tsai, who is chief executive of the tech investment firm 500 Startups, where she replaced Dave McClure in early 2017 after an internal investigation into his behavior toward women in the tech community.
“I’ve erred on the side as C.E.O. of being more open about it, like if one of my kids has an appointment, so hopefully it creates an environment where people don’t feel like they have to hide that they have obligations to family,” she said. “Sure, a guy can be sensitive to those things, but I think it helps having that empathy of what it’s like for moms.”
The women who have risen, however, can only make so much change — they are still operating in a male-dominated system. More than 10 percent of the ousted men have tried to make a comeback, or voiced a desire to, and many never lost financial power.
The comedian Louis C.K. recently took the stage at the Comedy Cellar in New York, raising questions of how long is long enough for people to be banished from their field, and who gets to decide. Garrison Keillor, the radio host, has restarted “The Writer’s Almanac” as a podcast and reportedly received $275,000 for a deal in which Minnesota Public Radio reposted archived episodes of his programs. Jerry Richardson, the founder and former owner of the Carolina Panthers, was fined $2.75 million by the N.F.L. after he was accused of sexual harassment — but sold the team for at least $2.2 billion, a record amount.
When people accused of harassment return to power without making amends — or never lose it, at least financially — it limits the post-Weinstein movement’s potential to change how power is exercised in American society.
They have not experienced the same type of trauma that survivors have, said Tarana Burke, the founder of the #MeToo movement, which she started in 2006 to support survivors of sexual harassment and violence (the hashtag went viral a year ago this month as women used it to tell their stories of harassment and violence). And very few have shown that they have taken responsibility for their actions or offered private apologies to those they harmed, she said.
“Where’s the self-reflection and accountability?” she said. “Perhaps if we saw some evidence of that, then we can have a more robust conversation about the road to redemption.”
In the meantime, these women say, there are more than enough qualified women ready to take their places in power.
“A bunch of us who took over these jobs got promoted because we were really good at these jobs,” said Ms. Vega, the radio host. “We have the skills, we have the experience, we have the work ethic and we have the smarts to do it, and it’s time for us to do this job.”

They had often gotten away with it for years, and for those they harassed, it seemed as if the perpetrators would never pay any consequences. Then came the report that detailed Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assaults and harassment, and his fall from Hollywood’s heights.
A year later, even as the #MeToo movement meets a crackling backlash, it’s possible to take some stock of how the Weinstein case has changed the corridors of power. A New York Times analysis has found that, since the publishing of the exposé (followed days later by a New Yorker investigation), at least 200 prominent men have lost their jobs after public allegations of sexual harassment. A few, including Mr. Weinstein, face criminal charges. At least 920 people were reportedly subjected to sexual misconduct by someone on the list. And nearly half of the men who have been replaced were succeeded by women.
In the year preceding the Weinstein report, by contrast, fewer than 30 high-profile people made the news for resigning or being fired after public accusations of sexual misconduct. The downfall of the Fox host Bill O’Reilly in April 2017 turned out to have been just a foreshock of the changes to come.
“We’ve never seen something like this before,” said Joan Williams, a law professor who studies gender at the University of California, Hastings. “Women have always been seen as risky, because they might do something like have a baby. But men are now being seen as more risky hires.”
[Sign up here for Gender Letter, our newsletter that helps you keep up with the world, and the women shaping it.]
Sexual harassment has hardly been erased in the workplace. Federal law still does not fully protect huge groups of women, including those who work freelance or at companies with fewer than 15 employees. New workplace policies have little effect without deeper cultural change. And as the Supreme Court confirmation battle over Brett Kavanaugh showed, Americans disagree on how people accused of sexual misconduct should be held accountable and what the standard of evidence should be.
But the analysis shows that the #MeToo movement shook, and is still shaking, power structures in society’s most visible sectors. The Times gathered cases of prominent people who lost their main jobs, significant leadership positions or major contracts, and whose ousters were publicly covered in news reports.
Forty-three percent of their replacements were women. Of those, one-third are in news media, one-quarter in government, and one-fifth in entertainment and the arts. For example, Robin Wright replaced Kevin Spacey as lead actor on “House of Cards,” Emily Nemens replaced Lorin Stein as editor of “The Paris Review,” and Tina Smith replaced Al Franken as a senator from Minnesota.
People Replacing Men Accused of Sexual Misconduct
Women are starting to gain power in organizations that have been jolted by harassment, with potentially far-reaching effects.
“I find it so interesting the number of people who come up to me and say, ‘Thank you for stepping in when someone needed to step in,’” Ms. Smith said. “That’s a lot of what women do a lot of the time, right?”
Appointing a woman does not guarantee change. Women have also harassed and covered up harassment. Some women face the glass cliff — in which women are appointed to leadership in times of organizational crisis, when the chance of failure is higher. And while the share of women who have risen to power in the wake of Mr. Weinstein’s fall is significant, women are still vastly underrepresented at the top of American institutions.
Research has repeatedly shown that women tend to lead differently. In general, they create more respectful work environments, where harassment is less likely to flourish and where women feel more comfortable reporting it. Female leaders tend to hire and promote more women; pay them more equally; and make companies more profitable. Women bring their life experiences and perspectives to decision-making, and that can help in business because women make the vast majority of purchasing decisions. In government, women have been shown to be more collaborative and bipartisan, and promote more policies supporting women, children and social welfare.
That has been true in Congress, said Ms. Smith, a Democrat. In a highly polarized Senate, women tend to be unusually collegial across party lines, she said, and the 23 female senators meet for dinner monthly.
Nature Al FrankenNov. 16, 2017
U.S. senator for Minnesota
Resigned after accusations of groping and improper advances from at least six women. He apologized but denied many of the allegations.

“I believe you’re successful and you get things done if you have relationships with people,” she said. “That’s the ground for accomplishing something, certainly in the legislative world.”
One example: She and Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican from Alaska, discovered that they both worked on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline in high school. The bond they built from shared experience helped them when they co-sponsored mental health legislation that was included in the opioid crisis response bill passed last month.
In news media and entertainment, many women who ascended to jobs vacated by men have changed the tone and substance of what they offer audiences — and in some cases, the fallout from #MeToo has shaped their decisions.
Nature Roy PriceOct. 12, 2017
Head of Amazon Studios
Resigned after a Hollywood producer accused him of making unwanted sexual advances.

Jennifer Salke, who took over for Roy Price as head of Amazon Studios, has said Amazon needed more “big, addictive shows for women.” She has announced deals with the actors Lena Waithe and Nicole Kidman, among others.
Since Tanzina Vega took over from John Hockenberry as host of “The Takeaway,” the public radio program, she has done many episodes about gender, including on masculinity, women’s anger and the intersection of gender and race — topics that she had been covering for years but that she said were now part of the national conversation.
“I don’t think that’s necessarily because I’m a woman, but it’s just that as a woman, as a Latina, I know when the conversation hasn’t been about women, and I’m deeply sensitive to that,” said Ms. Vega, who was previously a reporter at CNN and The New York Times.
Nature John HockenberryDec. 1, 2017
Host of WNYC’s “The Takeaway”
After he left “The Takeaway,” nine women accused Mr. Hockenberry of sexual harassment, including unwelcome sexual advances. He apologized, describing his behavior as “rude, aggressive and impolite.”

Women’s personal experiences, including as mothers, can make workplaces more welcoming to other women. That’s the hope of Christine Tsai, who is chief executive of the tech investment firm 500 Startups, where she replaced Dave McClure in early 2017 after an internal investigation into his behavior toward women in the tech community.
“I’ve erred on the side as C.E.O. of being more open about it, like if one of my kids has an appointment, so hopefully it creates an environment where people don’t feel like they have to hide that they have obligations to family,” she said. “Sure, a guy can be sensitive to those things, but I think it helps having that empathy of what it’s like for moms.”
The women who have risen, however, can only make so much change — they are still operating in a male-dominated system. More than 10 percent of the ousted men have tried to make a comeback, or voiced a desire to, and many never lost financial power.
The comedian Louis C.K. recently took the stage at the Comedy Cellar in New York, raising questions of how long is long enough for people to be banished from their field, and who gets to decide. Garrison Keillor, the radio host, has restarted “The Writer’s Almanac” as a podcast and reportedly received $275,000 for a deal in which Minnesota Public Radio reposted archived episodes of his programs. Jerry Richardson, the founder and former owner of the Carolina Panthers, was fined $2.75 million by the N.F.L. after he was accused of sexual harassment — but sold the team for at least $2.2 billion, a record amount.
When people accused of harassment return to power without making amends — or never lose it, at least financially — it limits the post-Weinstein movement’s potential to change how power is exercised in American society.
They have not experienced the same type of trauma that survivors have, said Tarana Burke, the founder of the #MeToo movement, which she started in 2006 to support survivors of sexual harassment and violence (the hashtag went viral a year ago this month as women used it to tell their stories of harassment and violence). And very few have shown that they have taken responsibility for their actions or offered private apologies to those they harmed, she said.
“Where’s the self-reflection and accountability?” she said. “Perhaps if we saw some evidence of that, then we can have a more robust conversation about the road to redemption.”
In the meantime, these women say, there are more than enough qualified women ready to take their places in power.
“A bunch of us who took over these jobs got promoted because we were really good at these jobs,” said Ms. Vega, the radio host. “We have the skills, we have the experience, we have the work ethic and we have the smarts to do it, and it’s time for us to do this job.”

They had often gotten away with it for years, and for those they harassed, it seemed as if the perpetrators would never pay any consequences. Then came the report that detailed Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assaults and harassment, and his fall from Hollywood’s heights.
A year later, even as the #MeToo movement meets a crackling backlash, it’s possible to take some stock of how the Weinstein case has changed the corridors of power. A New York Times analysis has found that, since the publishing of the exposé (followed days later by a New Yorker investigation), at least 200 prominent men have lost their jobs after public allegations of sexual harassment. A few, including Mr. Weinstein, face criminal charges. At least 920 people were reportedly subjected to sexual misconduct by someone on the list. And nearly half of the men who have been replaced were succeeded by women.
In the year preceding the Weinstein report, by contrast, fewer than 30 high-profile people made the news for resigning or being fired after public accusations of sexual misconduct. The downfall of the Fox host Bill O’Reilly in April 2017 turned out to have been just a foreshock of the changes to come.
“We’ve never seen something like this before,” said Joan Williams, a law professor who studies gender at the University of California, Hastings. “Women have always been seen as risky, because they might do something like have a baby. But men are now being seen as more risky hires.”

Sexual harassment has hardly been erased in the workplace. Federal law still does not fully protect huge groups of women, including those who work freelance or at companies with fewer than 15 employees. New workplace policies have little effect without deeper cultural change. And as the Supreme Court confirmation battle over Brett Kavanaugh showed, Americans disagree on how people accused of sexual misconduct should be held accountable and what the standard of evidence should be.
But the analysis shows that the #MeToo movement shook, and is still shaking, power structures in society’s most visible sectors. The Times gathered cases of prominent people who lost their main jobs, significant leadership positions or major contracts, and whose ousters were publicly covered in news reports.
Forty-three percent of their replacements were women. Of those, one-third are in news media, one-quarter in government, and one-fifth in entertainment and the arts. For example, Robin Wright replaced Kevin Spacey as lead actor on “House of Cards,” Emily Nemens replaced Lorin Stein as editor of “The Paris Review,” and Tina Smith replaced Al Franken as a senator from Minnesota.
People Replacing Men Accused of Sexual Misconduct
Women are starting to gain power in organizations that have been jolted by harassment, with potentially far-reaching effects.
“I find it so interesting the number of people who come up to me and say, ‘Thank you for stepping in when someone needed to step in,’” Ms. Smith said. “That’s a lot of what women do a lot of the time, right?”
Appointing a woman does not guarantee change. Women have also harassed and covered up harassment. Some women face the glass cliff — in which women are appointed to leadership in times of organizational crisis, when the chance of failure is higher. And while the share of women who have risen to power in the wake of Mr. Weinstein’s fall is significant, women are still vastly underrepresented at the top of American institutions.
Research has repeatedly shown that women tend to lead differently. In general, they create more respectful work environments, where harassment is less likely to flourish and where women feel more comfortable reporting it. Female leaders tend to hire and promote more women; pay them more equally; and make companies more profitable. Women bring their life experiences and perspectives to decision-making, and that can help in business because women make the vast majority of purchasing decisions. In government, women have been shown to be more collaborative and bipartisan, and promote more policies supporting women, children and social welfare.
That has been true in Congress, said Ms. Smith, a Democrat. In a highly polarized Senate, women tend to be unusually collegial across party lines, she said, and the 23 female senators meet for dinner monthly.
Nature Al FrankenNov. 16, 2017
U.S. senator for Minnesota
Resigned after accusations of groping and improper advances from at least six women. He apologized but denied many of the allegations.

“I believe you’re successful and you get things done if you have relationships with people,” she said. “That’s the ground for accomplishing something, certainly in the legislative world.”
One example: She and Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican from Alaska, discovered that they both worked on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline in high school. The bond they built from shared experience helped them when they co-sponsored mental health legislation that was included in the opioid crisis response bill passed last month.
In news media and entertainment, many women who ascended to jobs vacated by men have changed the tone and substance of what they offer audiences — and in some cases, the fallout from #MeToo has shaped their decisions.
Nature Roy PriceOct. 12, 2017
Head of Amazon Studios
Resigned after a Hollywood producer accused him of making unwanted sexual advances.

Jennifer Salke, who took over for Roy Price as head of Amazon Studios, has said Amazon needed more “big, addictive shows for women.” She has announced deals with the actors Lena Waithe and Nicole Kidman, among others.
Since Tanzina Vega took over from John Hockenberry as host of “The Takeaway,” the public radio program, she has done many episodes about gender, including on masculinity, women’s anger and the intersection of gender and race — topics that she had been covering for years but that she said were now part of the national conversation.
“I don’t think that’s necessarily because I’m a woman, but it’s just that as a woman, as a Latina, I know when the conversation hasn’t been about women, and I’m deeply sensitive to that,” said Ms. Vega, who was previously a reporter at CNN and The New York Times.
Nature John HockenberryDec. 1, 2017
Host of WNYC’s “The Takeaway”
After he left “The Takeaway,” nine women accused Mr. Hockenberry of sexual harassment, including unwelcome sexual advances. He apologized, describing his behavior as “rude, aggressive and impolite.”

Women’s personal experiences, including as mothers, can make workplaces more welcoming to other women. That’s the hope of Christine Tsai, who is chief executive of the tech investment firm 500 Startups, where she replaced Dave McClure in early 2017 after an internal investigation into his behavior toward women in the tech community.
“I’ve erred on the side as C.E.O. of being more open about it, like if one of my kids has an appointment, so hopefully it creates an environment where people don’t feel like they have to hide that they have obligations to family,” she said. “Sure, a guy can be sensitive to those things, but I think it helps having that empathy of what it’s like for moms.”
The women who have risen, however, can only make so much change — they are still operating in a male-dominated system. More than 10 percent of the ousted men have tried to make a comeback, or voiced a desire to, and many never lost financial power.
The comedian Louis C.K. recently took the stage at the Comedy Cellar in New York, raising questions of how long is long enough for people to be banished from their field, and who gets to decide. Garrison Keillor, the radio host, has restarted “The Writer’s Almanac” as a podcast and reportedly received $275,000 for a deal in which Minnesota Public Radio reposted archived episodes of his programs. Jerry Richardson, the founder and former owner of the Carolina Panthers, was fined $2.75 million by the N.F.L. after he was accused of sexual harassment — but sold the team for at least $2.2 billion, a record amount.
When people accused of harassment return to power without making amends — or never lose it, at least financially — it limits the post-Weinstein movement’s potential to change how power is exercised in American society.
They have not experienced the same type of trauma that survivors have, said Tarana Burke, the founder of the #MeToo movement, which she started in 2006 to support survivors of sexual harassment and violence (the hashtag went viral a year ago this month as women used it to tell their stories of harassment and violence). And very few have shown that they have taken responsibility for their actions or offered private apologies to those they harmed, she said.
“Where’s the self-reflection and accountability?” she said. “Perhaps if we saw some evidence of that, then we can have a more robust conversation about the road to redemption.”
In the meantime, these women say, there are more than enough qualified women ready to take their places in power.
“A bunch of us who took over these jobs got promoted because we were really good at these jobs,” said Ms. Vega, the radio host. “We have the skills, we have the experience, we have the work ethic and we have the smarts to do it, and it’s time for us to do this job.”

NEW YORK | The Latest: 'Once On This Island' wins musical revival Tony
NEW YORK — The Latest on the Tony Awards (all times local):
10:35 p.m.
“Once On This Island” has been named the best musical revival Tony Award winner.
The 1990 musical with a Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty’s calypso-infused score unfolds as a group of storytellers — caught in the midst of an unrelenting storm — recount the tale of a Caribbean island country girl in love with an aristocrat.
The revival is made to resonate deeply for today’s audiences, who are all too familiar with the devastating impact hurricanes have on a community. Many of the characters play instruments made out of found objects, including trash bins, flexible piping and more.
It stars Lea Salonga, Phillip Boykin and newcomer Hailey Kilgore.
The revival beat out “My Fair Lady” and “Carousel.”

10:20 p.m.
A British revival of “Angels in America,” Tony Kushner’s monumental, two-part drama about AIDS, life and love during the 1980s, has won the Tony Award for best play revival.
The show is an astonishing kaleidoscopic seven hours with an assortment of characters that includes Roy Cohn, Ethel Rosenberg, a young man living with AIDS, his cowardly ex-lover, a Mormon housewife, the world’s oldest living Bolshevik and a high-flying winged creature.
The latest version stars Nathan Lane and Andrew Garfield, and it won the best revival Olivier Award. It is directed by Marianne Elliott, a veteran of “War Horse” and “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.”
It beat out “Three Tall Women,” ”The Iceman Cometh,” ”Lobby Hero” and “Travesties.”
Both Lane and Garfield won acting Tony Awards earlier Sunday.
___
10:10 p.m.
J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” franchise has cast its spell on Broadway, winning the best new play Tony Award.
The win for “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” adds to the franchise’s haul of seven bestselling books and eight blockbuster films.
The two-part play, which picks up 19 years from where Rowling’s last novel left off and portrays Potter and his friends as grown-ups, won nine Olivier Awards in London before coming to America and bewitching critics and audiences alike.
It beat out “The Children,” ”Farinelli and The King,” ”Junk” and “Latin History for Morons.”
___
9:50 p.m.
John Tiffany has won his second directing Tony Award for his work on the two-part play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.”
Tiffany previously won a Tony for directing the musical “Once.” He also was nominated for the 2014 revival of “The Glass Menagerie.” Tiffany won the directing Olivier Award for “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.”
Tiffany was Associate Director of the National Theatre of Scotland from 2005 to 2012. Some of his other credits include “Black Watch” and “The Ambassador.”
He beat out Marianne Elliott, Joe Mantello, Patrick Marber and George C. Wolfe.
___
9:45 p.m.
David Cromer has won his first Tony Award for directing “The Band’s Visit.”
The musical is based on a 2007 Israeli film of the same name, has songs by David Yazbek and a sardonic story by Itamar Moses. It centers on members of an Egyptian police orchestra booked to play a concert at an Israeli city who accidentally end up in the wrong town.
Cromer directed the short-lived Neil Simon revival of “Brighton Beach Memoirs” in 2009 and the 2011 revival of John Guare’s “The House of Blue Leaves.” He drew acclaim for two productions at the off-Broadway Barrow Street Theatre — “Tribes” and “Our Town,” for which played the Stage Manager in addition to directing.
He grew up outside Chicago in Skokie, Illinois, and won a MacArthur “genius” grant in 2010. He taught acting and directing at Columbia College Chicago for 15 years and has often returned to the works of Tennessee Williams.
He beat out Michael Arden, Casey Nicholaw, Tina Landau and Bartlett Sher.

9:30 p.m.
Glenda Jackson has added to her impressive resume with a Tony Award for best actress in a play.
The 82-year-old British actress won her first Tony for playing a flinty woman facing the end of her life in the new revival of Edward Albee’s “Three Tall Women.”
Jackson has two Academy Awards, for 1970’s “Women in Love” and 1973’s “A Touch of Class, and credits in such films as “Sunday, Bloody Sunday,” ”Mary, Queen of Scots” and “Hedda.” She won two Emmys for starring in the television miniseries “Elizabeth R.”
She stepped back from acting in the early 1990s to enter politics and is famous for a 2013 speech she gave after the death of Margaret Thatcher, bitterly decrying the late prime minister.
She beat Condola Rashad, Lauren Ridloff and Amy Schumer.
___
9:15 p.m.
A heroic drama teacher who nurtured many of the young people demanding change following the February school shooting in Parkland, Florida, has been honored from the Tony Award stage.
Melody Herzfeld, the one-woman drama department at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, was cheered by the crowd at Radio City Music Hall.
Herzfeld saved 65 lives by barricading students into a small classroom closet on Valentine’s Day when police say a former student went on a school rampage, killing 17 people.
She then later encouraged many of her pupils to lead the nationwide movement for gun reform, including organizing the March For Our Lives demonstration and the charity single “Shine.”
Members of Herzfeld’s drama department then took the stage to sing “Seasons of Love” from “Rent.”
___
9 p.m.
Nathan Lane has won the Tony Award for best featured actor in a play for his role in “Angels in America.”
Laurie Metcalf won best featured actress in a play earlier Sunday for her role in Edward Albee’s “Three Tall Women.” It is Metcalf’s second Tony win — she won best actress last year for “A Doll’s House, Part 2.”
Lane’s win is the second of the evening for an “Angels in America” actor. Andrew Garfield won for best leading actor earlier in the evening.
___
8:10 p.m.
Andrew Garfield has won the Tony Award for best leading actor in a play for his work in “Angels in America,” Tony Kushner’s monumental drama about life and love during the 1980s.
Garfield plays a young gay man living with AIDS in the sprawling, seven-hour revival opposite Nathan Lane.
He previously was nominated for a featured role in “Death of a Salesman” opposite Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Garfield has been nominated for an Oscar for his work in “Hacksaw Ridge.” His other film work includes “The Social Network” in 2010 and the 2012 superhero film “The Amazing Spider-Man” and its 2014 sequel.
He beat out Tom Hollander, Jamie Parker, Mark Rylance and Denzel Washington.
___
8:05 p.m.
Tony Award co-hosts Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles have gotten the show started with a self-parodying duet on piano for all the losers out there — including them.
Neither Bareilles nor Groban have won a Grammy or a Tony despite selling millions of albums and appearing on Broadway in hit shows. They turned that into a playful song.
“Let’s not forget that 90 percent of us leave empty-handed tonight. So this is for the people who lose/Most of us have been in your shoes,” they sang in the upbeat opening number. “This one’s for the loser inside of you.”
The co-hosts then noted that such noted shows like “Hair” and “Into the Woods” didn’t win the best musical prize. Nor did “Waitress,” the show Bareilles wrote music for.
At the end of the song, the pair were joined by over a dozen members of the ensemble from each this year’s nominated musicals.
___
7:55 p.m.
Condola Rashad has a special reason to celebrate on the Tony Award red carpet Sunday. She also just closed her show, “Saint Joan.”
The actress says she has “a lot of emotions today.” She likened it to the last day of school mixed with prom and graduation at the same time. She says: “It’s a celebration.”
The daughter of Phylicia Rashad and sportscaster Ahmad Rashad earned a best actress in a play nomination for playing Joan of Arc in the play by George Bernard Shaw, which ended its run with Sunday’s matinee. Her dad and sisters were her dates to the Tonys.
She says “it’s been a really great opportunity for us to come together.”
Rashad also earned a 2012 Tony nomination for “Stick Fly” and plays a district attorney on the Showtime series “Billions.”
___
7:45 p.m.
Broadway’s SpongeBob, Ethan Slater, has walked the red carpet with a ribbon supporting the American Civil Liberties Union pinned to one lapel.
He says the organization is “incredibly important to our country” when it comes to guarding civil liberties. He called his show “aligned with the values of the ACLU.”
How exactly? Well, in terms of diversity, for one.
The “SpongeBob SquarePants” musical includes Sandy the squirrel, a scapegoat for Bikini Bottom’s problems who is targeted for banishment.
Slater calls the story line “really relevant to the Muslim ban” in the United States and the way he says that “Muslim-Americans have been treated.”
___
7:25 p.m.
Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has no problem with nerves as he heads into the Tony Awards. His accolade to come once inside is all sewn up as an honorary tribute.
The musical theater legend says the feeling is wonderful: “I don’t have to worry about it.” He says all he has to do is “just go and get it.”
Webber says this season on Broadway is exciting, in particular amid musicals with many fine new writers. He also praised the night’s co-host, Sara Bareilles, for her work in the recently televised rock opera he co-created back in 1970, “Jesus Christ Superstar.”
Webber describes Bareilles as an “extraordinary actress,” especially through music.
___
6:50 p.m.
Andrew Garfield says the social message of “Angels in America” is a huge part of why he agreed to star as Pryor Walter.
The nominee says on the Tony red carpet that he doesn’t want to “tell a story unless it has the potential to change people.”
The British actor says the eight-hour play is as relevant today as it was 25 years ago, when Tony Kushner first staged it and won a Pulitzer Prize for his trouble.
Garfield says theater must be political and mirror the times we’re in. Otherwise, he says, “we’re wasting everyone’s time.”
___
6:20 p.m.
Josh Groban is promising “a really fun” Tony Awards.
Says the first-time co-host: “I feel really excited about the show we have ready for everybody tonight.” He says it’s been a fun season and he called co-host Sara Bareilles “brilliant.”
He says the chance to collaborate and bounce ideas off her has been “nothing less than a dream come true.”
He adds “We’re just going to go out and be ourselves.” Groban promises the show will be a combination of slick and two musical theater geeks being “total weirdos.”
For her part, Bareilles says she “just wants to stay present.” She added that her job is to make sure everyone else is having a good time, saying “that’s the goal — people pleasing.”
___
6:10 p.m.
Cynthia Erivo and Brian Tyree Henry say the theater is a perfect place to deal with social issues.
Says Henry, who is nominated for his work in “Lobby Hero”: “It’s happening right in front of your face.” He adds that something about the stage encourages tough issues to be worked on by strangers.
He says the cast and audience of a show go on a ride together and hopefully it creates a platform for discussion.
Erivo, winner of the best actress in a musical award for her work in “The Color Purple” in 2016, agreed: “People can see themselves live.” She says theater gives people a chance to express themselves freely.
John Leguizamo adds there are no “gatekeepers” in theater, which allows many points of view to emerge.
___
5:45 p.m.
“Frozen” songwriters Robert Lopez and his wife, Kristen Anderson-Lopez, walked the red carpet at the Tony Awards on Sunday for the first time as equal nominees.
Robert Lopez co-conceived and co-wrote the smash-hit musicals “Avenue Q” and “The Book of Mormon,” both earning him Tony Awards. “Frozen” marks Kristen Anderson-Lopez’s first nomination.
“I’m so proud of her,” her husband said. “She’s been here before as my plus-one.” His advice to her was “enjoy this thing.” It might be scary, but he calls it like a “prom.”
Anderson-Lopez acknowledged she was going to be nervous for the cast of “Frozen” and suspected that she would share their butterflies. Joked her husband: “She’ll be mouthing every word along with them.”
___
2:45 p.m.
The Tony Awards dress rehearsal — normally with few actual stars in attendance — got a shock of A-listers this year, including Tina Fey, Kelli O’Hara, Andrew Lloyd Webber, John Leguizamo, Tituss Burgess — and Bruce Springsteen.
The four-hour rehearsal at Radio City Music Hall allows producers to go through the show from start to finish before the Sunday telecast. Usually, stand-ins are used for Hollywood presenters, who prefer to hit the snooze button.
But the audience this time cheered loudly when Patti Lupone, Uzo Aduba, Ming-Na Wen, Melissa Benoist, Tatiana Maslany, Christopher Jackson, James Monroe Iglehart and Rachel Brosnahan showed up in the flesh.
The highlight was Springsteen, who walked onstage in a T-shirt and jeans, performed one song on the piano from his sold-out one-man show and departed to a standing ovation.
___
12:15 a.m.
The Tony Awards kick off on Sunday night with a pair of first-time hosts, no clear juggernaut like “Hamilton” to cheer for, but a likely assist by Bruce Springsteen.
Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles face their biggest audience yet and a careful political balancing act when they co-host the CBS telecast from the massive 6,000-seat Radio City Music Hall.
Getting buzz from appearing on the telecast can dictate a show’s future, both on Broadway and on tour. Broadway producers will be thankful this year that the telecast won’t compete with any NBA Finals or Stanley Cup playoff games.

Interview 1: Audio
For this project, I decided to interview my grandma, Ruth. When I first told her about this project, she seemed hesitant. She made it clear to me that she wasn’t sure how much she could remember or if she had any interesting information to share. I reassured her, however, that whatever details she had to offer would be interesting because they were uniquely hers, and I would be learning new aspects about my grandma’s life that I had previously never thought to ask. I was really thrilled to learn more about her tastes in different forms of media and experiences when she was younger. For support and help with memory, my grandma enlisted the help of her close friend, Donna. So, I will be relaying the memories and experiences of both of these women, and I hope you enjoy what I’ve learned and discovered.
RECORDINGS
The first form of media I approached Ruth and Donna with was audio, more specifically, recordings. To begin, my grandma and Donna talked about their favorite recording artists growing up and the music that was commonly around the house. My grandma said that rock and roll was her favorite genre growing up. Her father liked to play country records and her mother preferred classical because my grandma’s grandmother was a pianist. My grandma remembers going to public classical performances at the Topeka Municipal Auditorium with her grandmother and being inspired by them.
She said, “I thought I wanted to be an opera singer like Risë Stevens. She had bright red hair and she was pretty. It was fun, I loved it.”

Donna can recall her family record player. She said that her uncle had given her one from his days in the navy. She made it clear that it was not a fancy object. My grandma also recalls buying single 45s (record size) for 75 cents.
My grandma mentioned Eddie Fisher as a musician she liked to listen to when she was younger. She said he was cute but she couldn’t remember any specific song of his that was her favorite. Donna enjoyed listening to Frank Sinatra, and her friends liked Elvis Presley. Donna can remember when she first fell in love with Frank Sinatra’s music. Donna visited a young man’s apartment from her hometown and was surprised that he owned 33 1/3 records of Frank Sinatra. While telling this story Donna still sounded awestruck. She said he owned all of Frank’s early records and he had a really impressive sound system.
She said, “I can just remember sitting in there and just falling in love listening to his music.”
The mention of Elvis sparked a surprising story from my grandma.
“When I was in high school, Elvis actually came to Topeka,” she said.
She didn't get to watch him perform live but she offers, “I just stood outside and screamed with all the other girls!”
I was really surprised that my grandmother came very close to seeing Elvis Presley in the flesh. The things you learn. Donna gave some insight into her first concert. She told me that she went and saw the Four Freshmen, which she described as a contemporary jazz group. She thought their harmonies were particularly beautiful. For some context, I looked up the Four Freshman and Donna is right, they have some pretty nice harmonies. Give them a listen if you’re curious.

When discussing parental limits, both Ruth and Donna were in agreement that there weren’t any parental limits on the music they could listen to. I was surprised by this, especially because of the conservative nature of the 50’s and because many parents didn’t like the genre of rock and roll. My grandma did bring up a good point, however. She said that content restrictions were not an issue because “people didn’t talk the way people do nowadays.”
Donna also mentioned Elvis’s performance on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Donna said, “That was a big deal.”
“Risqué” my grandma offered.
“He shook his hips. Big deal! Isn’t that something? The world was ending,” Donna proclaimed sarcastically.
“Yeah, going to hell,” my grandma laughed.
My grandma also brought up the merging of black and white music in rock and roll and the appearance of black artists.
“There was some [black] groups that were becoming popular, you know. And I can’t tell you one right now, but it was different because it was just happening.The changing, you know, people were accepting that,” she explains.
After discussing the music and artists of the 50s, Donna did admit, “Some of that 50s music was not all that great, in my opinion. It got a little better in the 70s. Of course, the 70s — that was my kid’s stuff — that’s what I liked.”
My grandma chimed in, “And I liked to listen to a lot of it [70s music] because my kids liked it — they had the radio on.”
As for discovering artists, Donna and Ruth discovered their favorite artists through movies, as artists would frequently make appearances. My grandma explained that the music producers would often end up making the many musical movies that came about.
When asked about the music they listen to today, my grandma and Donna enjoy listening to old movie soundtracks on CDs and some popular music, like Bruno Mars. Donna, in particular, likes old standards from the 30s and 40s and some country music.
RADIO
Donna still remembers the story of receiving her first personal radio. She explains that she had always wanted a clock radio. She loosely estimated it probably would have cost around $20. Her dad knew that she wanted one really badly, so he gave her one as an early Christmas present.
“I used to turn that thing on and there was some kind of radio or talk show, and they closed off with a song called ‘That’s All’.” Donna said.
She started to actually sing the song that closed off the radio show. She was also excited to have her own radio so she could listen to the Academy Awards.
She explains, “You didn’t have the red carpet and all that. I had no idea who they had on it. But that was a big deal to see who got the Oscars.”
Ruth enjoyed listening to the top 40 countdown hosted by Casey Kasem. Donna also enjoyed listening to Your Hit Parade on the radio, and eventually TV, and it was sponsored and hosted by Lucky Strike cigarettes. Donna recalls buying the little thin magazines put out by Hit Parade that contained sheet music of the hit songs. Donna and her hometown best friend would get them, learn the lyrics, and sing the songs.

My grandma’s first memory of radio involves her mother having the radio while doing work around the house for the majority of a day when she was around ten years old. Donna also said that radio was a big part of her life growing up, but she can’t believe the sound quality compared to today’s music. She also explained the prevalent use of AM over FM and how the weather would affect the radio signal; they would experience static. They both agreed that radio was used much more than the record player in their homes.
My grandma said, “That’s where everyone got their news — everything. Most people had a radio on.”
They both also recalled their favorite radio shows that occurred on Saturday mornings and Sunday nights. My grandma said she remembers the kids sitting around the radio in the living room and listening to Amos ’n’ Andy.
In reference to the show, Donna’s immediate reply was, “How racist! They were white guys playing black guys.”
They both enjoyed listening to mystery radio shows and The Arthur Godfrey Show — which was a radio talent search show.
When asked about radio commercials, they both started listing off many brands. To name a few: Pepsodent, Lux Soap, Oxydol, various cigarette brands, Frigidaire, GE, and Alka-Seltzer. They didn’t recall any educational programming and said there wasn’t any public radio, like NPR today.
They also remembered first hearing about President Kennedy’s death on the radio and Ruth remembered listening to one of President Eisenhower’s speeches on the radio in grade school.
As for today, they don't really listen to radio anymore unless they are driving. Donna also sometimes uses the online radio service, Pandora.
After interviewing my grandma and Donna, I was so happy I got the chance to learn so much new information about people I know and see on a regular basis. I really enjoyed hearing their stories and imagining their childhood and teen years with the music and descriptions they supplied. It is important to acknowledge the differences between the technology and media forms in their early lives and today, but I also think it is equally important to recognize how much is the same: the love of music and entertainment in its many forms.
