SitcomsOnline Digest: Disney+ Offers New Simpsons Streaming Channel; Final Eight Unaired Episodes of Joey on YouTube

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we are hearing about a new streaming channel for an animated favorite, more about a media merger, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

If you want to see the final eight episodes of the Friends spinoff Joey, which surprisingly never made it to even DVD (at least not in the US) despite airing in the prime era of TV on DVD, they are finally available for the first time ever on the official Friends YouTube channel. (Deadline)
We're learning who'll host the final three episodes of Saturday Night Live for 2025, and one of them has the musical guest Cher (though it is disappointing that they couldn't have gotten her for the weekend that Daylight Saving Time ended so that she could sing her iconic "If I Could Turn Back Time" just before 1 AM). (Hollywood Reporter)
HBO has renewed a pair of comedy series. (SitcomsOnline)
