In a development that may not be all that surprising, Don Lemon doesn’t seem to have many fans over at Fox News.
On Monday morning’s installment of “Fox & Friends First,” cohost Carley Shimkus and guest Beverly Hallberg broke down the former “CNN This Morning” anchor’s first interview since his firing, slamming the journalist for positioning himself as what Hallberg deemed “the arbiter of the truth.”
“I think it’s pretty laughable to most people,” she said.
The “Fox & Friends First” discussion kicked off Monday with Shimkus introducing the fact that in his first interview since being fired from CNN in April, Lemon maintained that he has and will continue to always “tell the truth” and “abide by the promises of the Constitution.”

Canadian native Stephanie Savage and Rhode Island-born Josh Schwartz know something when it comes to how the young posh set ticks from Orange County, CA to the Upper East Side of New York.
And that talent doesn’t end in creating hip TV series which millennials swoon for, i.e. the 92-episode darling The O.C. (2003-2007) and the original 121-episode Gossip Girl (2007-2012), but in setting trends too, the latter being a barometer of early aughts fashion-sense, and in capturing the social media rage.
The duo have a new limited series on Apple TV+, City on Fire, based on the 2015 novel by Garth Risk Hallberg. While the novel was set in the 1970s, Savage and Schwartz transferred the TV series’ setting to post 9/11 New York City. The set-up: young clubber and good...

Halfway through City on Fire, William Hamilton Sweeney (Nico Tortorella), the artistic, anti-capitalist heir to a New York real estate empire, makes a dramatic proclamation. "I don't give a sh*t about this business. I never have. I never will," he tells his step-uncle, so-called "Demon Brother" Amory Gould (John Cameron Mitchell). "I am here to solve a mystery."
The encounter is one of many clumsy moments in Apple's adaptation of Garth Risk Hallberg's novel, which was widely hailed as one of the best books of 2015 and debuted at #5 on The New York Times Bestseller list. While Hallberg's 900-page tome offered a sprawling look at 1970s New York and the people — of various races, socioeconomic status, and political bents — affected by a single tragedy, creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage struggle to bring the subtleties of his work to the limited series.

In preparing for his music supervisor work on Apple TV+’s “City on Fire,” Jonathan Leahy began with what all good pregames began circa 2003: He opened up his CD binders.
“I’m a bit of a hoarder of books and recorded media, and I’ve looked at those Case Logic binders many times,” Leahy told IndieWire. “They’re big, they’re heavy, they’re bulky — maybe it’s time to get rid of them? But I held onto them, and this project began with the fully analog, real-world version of the iPod shuffle. Perfect example of that was Ambulance Ltd, which was such a great never-quite-made-it artist of the era. That’s the very first licensed music you hear in the show, when the Charlie character heads into the record store.”

Reading Garth Risk Hallberg’s City on Fire well after its initial publication hype, it isn’t always clear what generated that buzz in the first place.
At 900+ pages, it’s an unquestionably ambitious first novel, but Hallberg’s distinctive prose feels mostly in service of obfuscation. It’s a book in which all manner of structural and aesthetic trickiness — an occasionally evocative ’70s setting, faux Dickensian sprawl, flashbacks, flash-forwards, digressions in the form of a punk rock ‘zine and a fireworks-obsessed piece of long-form journalism — offer distraction from the run-of-the-mill mysteries that make up the core storyline. It’s full of vivid moments, but less full of effective twists or compelling characters.
Watching Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage’s Apple TV+ adaptation of City on Fire, which arrives with no particular hype, it isn’t always clear what connection it even has to the book in the first place.

Apple TV+ will be premiering the eight-episode series City on Fire, inspired by Garth Risk Hallberg’s bestselling novel, on May 12, 2023. The first three episodes will be released simultaneously, followed by new episodes on Fridays. The season’s finale is set to air on June 16th.
City on Fire takes place in New York City, and in an interview with NPR in October 2015, author Hallberg – who grew up in North Carolina – explained why he chose NYC as the setting. “I fell in love with New York at some indeterminate point in my early years,” said Hallberg. “Something about the city captured my imagination in a way that even Middle-Earth and Narnia couldn’t — because it was somehow real.”
Hallberg added: “So I guess I was dreaming my way into it long before I realized that I was going to write about it.”

Apple TV+ is turning yet another bestselling book into a streaming series, much like it's done in the past with shows such as "Pachinko" and "The Essex Serpent." The streamer has shared new information surrounding the release of "City On Fire," an eight-part Apple Original crime drama inspired by the 2015 novel of the same name by author Garth Risk Hallberg. If you're familiar with the book, you'll know this is a mystery that you can spend hours nitpicking and still be surprised when you turn the page.
Bear in mind, this won't be a strictly faithful adaptation of Hallberg's book. Where the latter takes place in New York City on New Year's Eve in the 1970s, the streaming series...
