Q: I was a longtime fan of "Nashville" and was sad to see Connie Britton leave last year. However, I very much enjoy the new season on CMT, even without Connie. How is the show doing ratings-wise? Is it strong enough for CMT to keep it going?
The fifth season of "Nashville" -- its first after moving from broadcast to cable -- started out on a bit of a roller-coaster, but things have leveled out now. And apparently, CMT's quite happy with the level.
The season 5 premiere drew a measly 420,000 viewers, compared to 4.9 million viewers for the season 4 premiere. That's a shocking plummet, except when you consider that season 4 aired on a broadcast network (which everyone gets) while season 5 aired on cable (which you have to pay for).

This was a tricky one, not because of how little info you have, but how much.
The song you're looking for is "Cry" by Godley & Creme. The full line you're referring to is: "You don't know how to play the game, you cheat, you lie, you make me wanna cry."

The Late Show With Stephen Colbert
A top-secret NSA report detailed Russian hacking efforts days before the 2016 election. Days before? Come on, Guccifer. That's poor planning. You can't leave your hacking to the last minute. Put some thought into it. No one wants an election you just picked up at Walgreens.
