For anyone entertained by the Candy Tube Saga, here’s the progression over the years. 2020 was an Amazon box and a bunch of packing tape.

A cardboard tube attached to the railing of steps leading up to a house, with two hand drawn signs saying “CANDY HERE!” and an arrow pointing to the end of the tube. A tape dispenser and stapler are on the steps.

Claire Willett @clairewillett.bsky.social · 4d ago

thinking about Patrick Stewart and Tim Curry and Dolly Parton and Catherine O’Hara and how many of the tributes shared after they died translate to something like “their art made me feel like I wasn’t alone in the world” it is hard to think of a better way to spend a life than that

Good night, sweet prince. I can think of nothing more Patrick Stewart than his appearance on Sesame Street, matching a wry wit with Shakespearean perfection. Never met him, wish I had.

Alex Zalben @azalben.bsky.social · 4d ago

I'm really fucking devastated right now so instead here's the picture Patrick Stewart posted nearly 13 years ago to the day with the caption "happy halloween" of him dressed as a giant lobster in a bathtub.

Alex Speier @alexspeier.bsky.social · 5d ago

The Contreras Bros compete at an almost unrivaled level, and now have achieved at a nearly unprecedented sibling level. They’re the 2nd set of brothers in MLB history with both All-Star berths and World Series wins on their résumés, joining Walker and Mort Cooper of the 1940s Cardinals.

In today's newsletter I talked about Susan Saint James passing. I never met her. But I worked for her husband for a time and, in his office one afternoon, got a good idea of how special she was. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

Saint James was married to legendary television executive Dick Ebersol for nearly 45 years. There's a story I sometimes tell about that connection, which I usually play for laughs, but upon Saint James' passing I'd like to tell it fully for the first time.

I began working full time at NBC in late 2009. Ebersol was the head of NBC Sports at the time. I was not a direct report of his – he was my boss' boss – but Ebersol really loves baseball and he wanted to meet the person his underlings had decided to put in charge of the company's online baseball coverage. So in early 2010 I was summoned to New York to meet him. The trip started at NBC Sports' headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, and my boss and I took the train down to Manhattan to meet Ebersol in his office at Rockefeller Center.

I was messing with my boss for a good bit of the trip down, telling him that I had had a thing for Saint James when I was younger, based mostly on "McMillan & Wife" reruns. Which was true. I legit had a TV crush on her for a time. But on that day I was playing it up for fun. When my boss wouldn't take the bait I escalated and said that when I walked into Ebersol's office I was gonna make a big show of it, asking him if I could look more closely at family pictures and be low-level weird about it. I obviously wouldn't have done that for real, but by then this was winding my boss up a good bit ("Don't say a fucking thing about his wife, Craig") and I found it amusing.

I'm sure it's impossible to ascend to the heights to which Dick Ebersol has ascended and to stay there for as long as he has without being at least a mild sonofabitch, so I was preparing for a Jack Donaghy-from-"30 Rock" type. But I liked him. I found him to be a kind and open person. Disarmingly so. Like he asked me questions about myself – real questions about stuff that matters – and actually seemed like he wanted to know the answers. I appreciated that.

Then he started sharing. And one of the first things he shared – indeed, I think he transitioned directly to it after I told him about my kids – was about how his fourteen year-old son Teddy was killed in a private plane crash in Colorado in 2004. Ebersol himself and his older son Charlie were on the plane too and they each sustained serious injuries, with Ebersol himself being dragged out of the wreckage by Charlie. The flight crew was killed. It was horrific. It's the worst tragedy any parent can endure. And it was obviously an extraordinarily personal thing to discuss with a guy you had just met eight minutes ago. Yet here Ebersol was telling me about it, even getting choked up at times.

He then told me that, after all of the dust settled, the funeral happened, and the memorials and well-wishes from friends and colleagues began to die down, everything in his being wanted to bury it. He told himself that he'd never discuss it again with anyone because he didn't think that words existed which could do justice to the immense grief we was feeling.

But Saint James wouldn't let him do that. She told him that she couldn't do it. She had to talk about Teddy as much as possible and as often as possible and that if she was going to do that he'd have to as well. So they did. It was hard at first but it soon became the most natural thing ever. And they kept doing it right up to the day I met Ebersol and, presumably for the last 16+ years of Saint James' life. They didn't care if it made people uncomfortable – which, when Ebersol and Saint James got emotional it did sometimes – because Teddy was their son and his passing was the most consequential fact of either of their lives. There was no use pretending that wasn't the case so they chose not to pretend.

Ebersol published a memoir four years ago. I haven't read it, but there was a passage in it about Teddy's passing that got some press attention:

"The advice we could give any family who loses a child is to talk about it. The more you engage your feelings and share them, the quicker you'll begin to feel a sense of peace."
It was basically the same way he put it to me 12 years earlier while I sat before him in his office in 30 Rock. That choice to talk about their son and engage with their feelings about him and his death, continued to give them peace in the wake of an unspeakable horror. It's always said that the marriages of couples who lose a child often fail to survive that loss, but Ebersol and Saint James beat those odds.

Susan Saint James was a pretty damn talented actor. She was funny. She was quick. She was beautiful. And based on what I learned of her from my one-time boss' boss, she was wise. Her choice to confront rather than bury her feelings, and to convince her husband to do the same, kept a family together that might have otherwise fallen apart.

Bless her for that. May she rest in peace.
