When director Todd Phillips brought us his dark, gritty take on the Joker in "Joker," we also got one of the best "Saturday Night Live" spoofs in recent years: "Grouch," starring David Harbour as a dark, gritty version of Oscar the Grouch living in a dark, gritty version of "Sesame Street."
But it's 2023 now, and we've moved on; dark and gritty is out, and bleak and moody is in. This week's "Saturday Night Live" host Pedro Pascal got the chance to spoof his own show, HBO's prestige drama adaptation of post-apocalyptic video game "The Last of Us," with a bleak, moody, prestige drama adaptation of another iconic game.
"HBO Mario Kart" actually works surprisingly well, though maybe that's just because the worlds of both "The Last of Us" and "Mario Kart" are dominated by mushrooms. And while the HBO-ified "Mario Kart" does take some creative liberties, there are also some...

Dr. Anthony Fauci says that the level of seriousness being shown by President Trump in the public communication about Covid-19 has been a “bone of contention.”
“What I try to do is stay very, very closely aligned with the science and come out with a very consistent and clear message,” said the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (Niaid) on Monday night.
During a chat with New Yorker staff writer Michael Specter during this year’s virtual edition of the annual New Yorker Festival, Fauci was asked about Trump’s tweet earlier on Monday, in which ...

Tonight is a big night for many Pajibans, as a show many of us love, "Futurama," comes back from the dead. To be quite honest, I have mixed feelings about this. I thought "The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings" put a sweet end on the series; not too melancholy but without giving some artificial-feeling resolution to any of the characters or overarching themes. Of course, I never watched any of the movies that came afterwards so I have no clue what those tried to do to the characters or continuity. I heard one of them tried to re-write the end of "Jurassic Bark" which makes me, like every other Pajiban out there, burst into wet, sloppy sobs, and that seems misguided at best. Anyway, I'll be watching tonight, for better or for worse. Here's tonight's schedule:
8:00 p.m.: "Wipeout" on ABC. New episode on a special night.
8:30 p.
