“He Looks Like a Ken Doll”: Maureen Calls Out Ryan Seacrest in His Latest Shirtless Selfie

Maureen Callahan put fifteen videos on The Nerve in seven days, and the one with the most views is about a single photo. In "He Looks Like a Ken Doll" she takes aim at Ryan Seacrest's latest shirtless selfie, and the comment section has mostly joined in, trading notes on what they call a strange body trend and, in one of its lighter moments, a joke about how much exercise it takes to spin that wheel.

The rest of the week leaned on a familiar guest. Rob Shuter, the celebrity reporter, joined her for several conversations: Harry and Meghan's reported plan to meet King Charles before Christmas, pub photos the show calls staged, Tom Cruise's film "Digger" and its reviews, and Sean "Diddy" Combs' life behind bars. Callahan also gave Sarah Jessica Parker's NYC Ballet Fall Fashion Gala look its own video, from an enormous braided ribbon to extensions of Rapunzel length.

The heaviest subject was Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber after the death of their son Presley. Two of the week's uploads question the couple's account of how much they knew about his struggles, and the newest of them is the one drawing viewers fastest right now.

Taken together, it added up to close to six million views and about 3,000 new subscribers, the most views gained among the political and commentary channels nearest its size, even as daily viewing ran below its usual pace. British Stand, Victor Davis Hanson and The Rest Is Politics US are all well above their own usual pace right now.
