David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. Double down on Tony Soprano
While fans of “The Sopranos” are anxiously awaiting the final episodes of the series (returning April 8), there apparently is a segment of the population disinterested in the show’s Machiavellian machinations but eager to profit off the personal tragedies of fictitious characters. An online sports book has laid down the odds on who will get whacked first when the series returns:
James Gandolfini (Anthony "Tony" Soprano): 17/2
Edie Falco (Carmela Soprano): 12/1
Michael Imperiolo (Christopher Moltisanti): 2/1
Lorraine Bracco (Dr. Jennifer Melfi): 6/1
Aida Turturro (Janice Soprano): 10/1
Steven Van Zandt (Silvio "Sil" Dante): 7/1
Dominic Chianese (Corrado "Junior" Soprano): 4/1
Tony Sirico (Peter Paul "Paulie Walnuts" Gualtieri: 4/1
Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Meadow Mariangela Soprano): 12/1
Robert Ller (Anthony "A.J." Soprano, Jr.): 13/1
John "Johnny Sack" Sacrimoni (Vince Curatola): 7/2
Phil Leotardo (Frank Vincent): 5/1
People who work on the show could place their bets and never have to work another day in their lives. (On the other hand, a couple of spoilers have leaked out in the past few months, and the odds above seem to reflect those disclosures.)
