Joanna Gold has sold her last infinity scarf — on Showtime at least. On June 8, the network canceled the Vanessa Bayer comedy I Love That For You, one of the last scripted originals awaiting its fate on the bubble. Production company Annapurna is expected to shop it around, hoping the series will find new life elsewhere, much like Three Women, which was canceled by Showtime in January but picked up by Starz in February. But by canceling I Love That For You, the network is solidifying its new direction, one that leaves innovative comedies like Bayer’s behind.

It’s disappointing news for fans of the Showtime comedy series I Love That For You, as the cable network has canceled the show after just one season. Created by Vanessa Bayer and Jeremy Beiler, I Love That For You premiered on May 1, 2022, and was the last current scripted series whose fate remained up in the air at Showtime. According to Deadline, there was an internal effort to get the series renewed, but it, unfortunately, wasn’t meant to be. “I Love That for You has completed its run on Showtime,” a Showtime spokesperson said in a statement. “We want to thank Vanessa, Jeremy and Jessi [Klein], along with the incredible cast and crew for their hard work and wish them the best going forward.” The show starred Bayer as Joanna Gold, an aspiring host for the shopping channel Svn, who, in order to keep her job, lies about her childhood cancer returning.

Just when you think you know everything about one of the most famous celebrities in the world, they always find a way to surprise us. The Academy Award-winning actor/producer has spent his entire life finding different hobbies and side projects to keep himself occupied when he's not being a movie star, including winemaking, sculpting, and apparently now, owning his own genderless skincare line. Brad Pitt has made the decision to let his product speak for itself, instead of turning himself into a spokesmodel in addition to a wellness virtuoso. During an interview with Vogue UK regarding the new product line, Pitt admitted that he was very close to playing a QVC-type host in a romantic comedy years ago, and would have starred alongside Sandra Bullock had the project moved forward. The two both made cameo appearances in their respective films "The Lost City" and "Bullet Train," but surprisingly have never headlined together on screen.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for the I Love That For You Season 1 finale, “Shop Cancer’s Ass.”] Vanessa Bayer brings her perfectly cringe comedic stylings to Showtime‘s I Love That For You, a series inspired by her own experiences with childhood cancer. Created by Bayer and Jeremy Beiler (Saturday Night Live), the debut season of I Love That For You proved itself to be a singular comedy with a unique brand of humor and drama. Bayer’s Joanna Gold’s dreams come true when the home shopping superfan lands a job at the Special Value Network, where Joanna’s idol, Jackie Stilton (played by an excellent Molly Shannon), reigns supreme as the most successful host and Jenifer Lewis‘s CEO Patricia Cochran is the newest horrible boss. To keep her job, Joanna says her cancer has come back. The lie spirals out of Joanna’s control until she ultimately comes clean at the end of...

Photo: ‘I Love That for You’ As we saw for seven years on SNL, Vanessa Bayer is funny. Her Jacob the Bar-Mitzvah boy, her Totino’s wife, and her Miley Cyrus impersonation are all characters that were charming and well-balanced. Unfortunately, the same laughs I had during her spot on Saturdays have not traveled over to her new show ‘I Love That for You’. The Premise ‘I Love That for You’ follows the story of childhood leukemia survivor Joanna Gold (Bayer) as she finally gets her dream job at the fictional home shopping channel Svn. When she gets fired on her first day, in a desperate plea to stay, she lies and tells her boss and coworkers her cancer is back. As she befriends her Svn idol Jackie Silton (Molly Shannon), is exploited for her illness by her boss Patricia Cochran (Jenifer Lewis), and begins a romance with showrunner Jordan Wahl...

It’s funny how you can think you know everything about a person, until you learn that you don’t. Vanessa Bayer and Jeremy Beiler wrote together on “Saturday Night Live” for years, producing the beaming, off-kilter characters Bayer became known for during her time as a cast member. Yet not once during those 2 a.m. writing sessions did they realize their shared passion for the home shopping network.
It wasn’t until a “magical brunch” in 2017 that they made this crucial discovery and decided to create a show about it. “I Love That For You” stars Bayer as Joanna Gold, a babbling, big-hearted Costco employee whose lifelong dream is to work for the Special Value Network. When she lands a hosting gig, she moves out of her parents’ home and into her new life hawking pillow mists and purse hooks on live TV.

Vanessa Bayer spent seven seasons on Saturday Night Live playing characters far from her own experience: a naughty Christmas elf, Miley Cyrus, earnest Jacob the Bar Mitzvah Boy. But Joanna Gold, her lead character on the workplace comedy/coming-of-age story I Love That for You, is inspired by Bayer’s real life. The actress survived childhood leukemia — as has Joanna, whose attempt to move from overprotected “Cancer Girl” to host on her beloved Special Value Network, is the show’s central story-line. “This is a love letter to home shopping networks. I watched a lot as a kid,” says Bayer, an executive producer as well as cocreator. In the premiere, Joanna, after putting her life on hold for years and then gaining a ...

After an eight-season run, black-ish came to an end on April 19. And as it turns out, star Jenifer Lewis was ready to retire once it was over. Here, Lewis chats with TV Insider about why her new comedy, I Love That For You, convinced her to ditch her retirement plans. Lewis stars as Patricia Cochran, the “ice queen” CEO of the home shopping channel Svn, in the workplace comedy. The series, debuting April 29 on Showtime, was created by and stars Vanessa Bayer, with Molly Shannon as the third leading lady. Bayer plays Joanna Gold, a home-shopping obsessed woman from Cleveland, Ohio who gets her dream job as an Svn host. Shannon plays the network’s longest-running star, Jackie Stilton, who takes Joanna under her wing. Patricia and Jackie have a decades long friendship, but it will be tested in the debut season as Patricia continuously discourages Jackie from talking about her divorce on air.

The world of home-shopping networks is one that seems ripe for comedy; the scenes in “Hacks,” for instance, in which Deborah Vance goes on television to hawk garments and jewelry are some of that show’s most cleverly observed. The challenge, as with all things in fiction, is getting the details right.
That’s the first place that “I Love That for You,” Showtime’s new comedy set at a fictional TV channel, falls short. Starring and co-created by “Saturday Night Live” standout Vanessa Bayer, “I Love That for You” weaponizes its central presence’s askew vision of life as a series of petty humiliations, most easily borne by making oneself the butt of the joke. But everything Bayer’s character faces at work seems less surreal than unreal; the show lacks the grain and texture of actual office life or a recognizable media environment.

Joanna Gold (Vanessa Bayer) lands her dream job of being a shopping channel host like her idol Jackie (Molly Shannon), but has to resort to a big lie — she has cancer! — to avoid being fired in the official trailer for “I Love That For You,” which Showtime released on Wednesday.
Joanna did have cancer as a child but is now cancer-free, a fact that’s sure to come out eventually in this half-hour comedy, which is based on Bayer’s own battle with childhood leukemia.

Vanessa Bayer says being on “SNL” is not wholly unlike doing QVC, where her “I Love That for You” character works. Well, that Showtime character technically works at the ficticious Svn — which is basically QVC without Showtime getting sued by QVC.
Bayer said that “a lot of the live-tv elements from ‘SNL’ do cross over” into her new gig.
“With ‘SNL,’ you always want your sketches to make it into the live show. You never really know if they’re going to make it in. You always want your sketches to be earlier in the show because they’re safer there and less likely to get cut,” the show’s co-creator, executive producer and star said Tuesday at the Television Critics Association (TCA) Winter Press Tour. “With home shopping, it’s a similar thing… you want to have better time slots.”
