Latest News about Chuck Lorre
Lorre's memoir, Sitcom: A Memoir, is scheduled for release on this date. The book tells the story of his career in television.
Lorre used the end card of the Season 3 premiere of CBS's Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage to respond sarcastically to the White House criticism. The episode's vanity card continued his longstanding practice of commenting on current events.
The White House responded to Lorre's speech by publicly telling him to seek psychiatric help, a rebuke that drew wide media coverage. Lorre answered the criticism on the air in later weeks through his vanity cards.
Lorre accepted an award at Project Angel Food's Angel Awards 2026, held at the Chuck Lorre Family Foundation campus in Los Angeles. During his acceptance speech he made sharp political remarks about President Donald Trump and his administration.
