This hasn't been the best 24 hours for John Goodman. Yesterday, some pranksters spread a fake story that he died, which then raced through Hollywood like a glass of Mexican tap water thanks to some overzealous folks at Endeavor. Today, CBS announced that it's whacked his show Center of the Universe with extreme prejudice, wiping it off the schedule immediately. Hey, kids from Endeavor: this story's solid. Feel free to forward it to everyone you know.
