“Do you … A) switch to MNSBC, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, (B) Pour [scalding] hot water on your lap, if it hurts [you’re] fine, (C) Call your wife, hopefully she’s concerned but reassuring, (D) Relax, they do this once every year, [or] (E) Ask yourself wtf?”
All of the above
Fox apparently did not get the 2025 memo that MSNBC changed its name to MSNOW, which the Guardian described as a somewhat forced acronym that stands for “My Source for News, Opinion and the World.”
The original name identified a now-defunct partnership between Microsoft and NBC, which launched in 1996 as a combination of the Microsoft Network and NBC. MSN was also the colloquial name of a popular online messenger service released in 1999.
Fox concluded his remarks by saying, “I thought the world was ending, but apparently it’s just me and I’m ok. Love, Mike.”

Dead reckoning
CNN later issued a statement through a spokesperson that said, “The package was published in error,” NBC News reported. “We have removed it from our platforms and send our apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family.”
Fox’s appearance in L.A. was to promote his TV show “Shrinking,” which just finished filming its third season.
