·1 min read

Eliza Coupe, Ginnifer Goodwin and Maggie Q are about to make some “impulsive, ill-advised and self-indulgent” decisions. And where better to do that than Fox?

The network has given a series order to Pivoting, a half-hour, single-camera comedy starring Coupe (Happy Endings), Goodwin (Why Women Kill) and Q (Designated Survivor) as three women whose bond strengthens after the death of their childhood best friend.

“Faced with the reality that life is short,” the trio makes “desperate attempts to find happiness,” ultimately discovering that “it’s never too late to screw up your life,” according to the official logline.

Pivoting also stars Tommy Dewey (Casual), JT Neal (Bless This Mess) and Marcello Julian Reyes (Modern Family).

From Warner Bros. Television, Fox Entertainment and Kapital Entertainment, Pivoting is written by Liz Astrof, who will executive-produce alongside Aaron Kaplan and Dana Honor. Tristram Shapeero directed and executive-produced the pilot.

Ordered for the 2021–2022 TV season, Pivoting joins Call Me Kat, Fox’s only current live-action comedy confirmed to return. Last Man Standing airs its final episode later this month, while the fate of Denis Leary’s The Moodys remains TBD. The network previously committed to a remake of popular British sitcom This Country, which is expected to premiere this fall.

  • 3 ways companies are using sustainability technology: Expert

    Earth Day is right around the corner — Monday, April 22 — along with earnings for major recycling service companies like Waste Management (WM) and Republic Services (RSG). What can be learned from these companies as well as how much of an opportunity is there in sustainability? PA Consulting Sustainability & Regenerative Economy Expert Tony Perrotta joins Yahoo Finance to discuss market opportunities in sustainability, to which he believe there is $12 trillion worth of value, and how companies are utilizing recycling technologies already. Perrotta lays out the major ways companies are working to adopt sustainable methods: "First, better mechanical recycling practices are definitely growing and on the scene, leveraged by things like vision technology, robotics, and any conversation that includes technology obviously includes AI... Second, here in the US, advanced recycling technologies are coming on the scene in a major way, so the ability to either use a chemical process or a physical heat process to take hard-to-recycle materials and return them back to useable form. And then, finally, what we're most excited about is a move into novel and alternative materials altogether. In this realm, you've got things like seaweed, alginates, and plant-based fibers..."

The slate now wiped clean, the Leafs' attention is squarely on the playoffs

  • Bridgewater Co-CIO on tech selloff, Fed rate cut path

    A slide in tech stock caused the S&P 500 (^GSPC) to close lower on Friday for the sixth straight day. Bridgewater Associates Co-Chief Investment Officer Karen Karniol-Tambour notes that a lot of investors tend to have significant exposure not just to US stocks but some of the Big Tech names specifically. As a result, "it doesn't take a lot to basically say 'maybe I'm too concentrated,'" Karniol-Tambour says, prompting them to sell the stocks. When it comes to when the Federal Reserve will start cutting rates, Karniol-Tambour thinks that "on the margin, we're going to get a little bit less rate cuts than what's in the market, but all of that is a lot less than what was expected just a couple of months ago." She adds that the market is "catching up to the reality" that with both the economy and inflation remaining strong, rates are going to have to stay higher for longer.   Karniol-Tambour advises investors to build a resilient portfolio. How do you do that? She gives a few suggestions, including shifting asset allocations to have less exposure to stocks, picking stocks that may be more resilient to whatever the economy brings, and looking at what stocks will perform when "everything else falls." Watch the video above to hear which region Karniol-Tambour says investors may want to start taking a closer look at.
