Does anyone remember E! talk show ‘Busy Tonight’ that got cancelled last year? It appears that Busy Philipps had more to share regarding the sad news. She thought that was going to a good day, but it wasn’t. But at the end of the whole fiasco, it actually was. (What?)
She shares what happened then and how she coped up with it in a hilarious post!
It’s New Year and 2020. Time to kiss goodbye to all the bad things that happened last decade.
Busy decided to upload a series of pictures to Instagram from when ‘Busy Tonight’ was cancelled one month before it was over. She shared some funny screenshots of her texts to the ex-head of E! as well as crying selfies and everything she did that day.
She recalled that day, “I flew to Dallas to shoot commercials over the weekend for Michael’s. When my plane took off, the song that came on shuffle was my favorite Deerhunter song ‘He Would Have Laughed’. I felt like it was a good sign.
But she got a text from her manager who told her to call after she landed. And apparently, E! isn’t renewing her show of 7 months and it’s effectively cancelled. “I was blindsided,” wrote the mother-of-two. “Especially since the last text I had from the head of E! (who’s now gone) was about marketing for ‘Busy Tonight’ that he was excited to tell me about.”
She took some crying selfies that day.
She called her friends 5 times and cried hard that night, waiting for E! to send her an email or give her a call. But they never came, so she texted them instead and it was hilarious!
Her friend also texted her about the Deerhunter.
She then got a tattoo on her ankle which comes from her book on that chapter about her getting ‘super fucked over by some dudes in this business’.
This is a very cool, fabulous and simple tattoo that will boost anyone’s motivation.
The cutest thing ever is when her daughter Birdie, 11, wrote to E! about her mother’s cancellation:
Birdie is very sincere, we can all tell that.
Busy decided to not let that get her down. She concluded, “I word hard AF and love to prove people wrong.”
She ended her 2020 with motivational statement in her style.
“The men will always try to fuck you over so fuck em and figure out something else.”
