DONALD TRUMP JR. MOCKED FOR NOT KNOWING WHAT SNL STANDS FOR: Whoops! As Saturday Night Live celebrates its 44th season on the air, it seems some people (Donald Trump Jr. at least) aren’t completely familiar with the institution. Trump Jr.’s father of course has been the target of the show since his election, making his unfamiliarity with its exact acronym even more notable, critics say. When Trump Jr. tweeted out an attempt at snark about the Democrats’ 2020 platform, he references SNL, but instead of trumpeting the familiar acronym, he wrote “S&L.” The critics piled on. Bobby Moynihan dubbed him a “dummy,” while Mike Drucker asked, “Is S&L a local electric company?”

STEPHEN KING’S THE STAND GETS SERIES ORDER: CBS All Access has ordered 10 episodes of the limited series The Stand, based on Stephen King‘s novel of the same name. The apocalyptic story follows the world post-plague and “embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil,” according to CBS. “The fate of mankind rests on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagail and a handful of survivors.” Josh Boone and Ben Cavell will write and executive produce, and Boone will direct the series.
