The 2024 Atx TV Festival will close out its 13th season with a celebration of TV icon Norman Lear, Variety can exclusively announce.
“Norman Lear’s TV for the People: Script Reading and Conversation” will honor the legendary television producer and activist, who died in December 2023, with a night of comedy and conversation. There will be two live script readings — one of the groundbreaking abortion episode from “Maude” and the second of a classic episode from “Good Times.” Guest actors will read for each role, including Katey Sagal (in the role of “Maude”), Phil Rosenthal (in the role of “Walter Findlay”), Danny Pino (in the role of “Dr. Arthur Harmon”), Dulé Hill (in the role of “James Evans Sr.”).
The script readings will be followed by a conversation with Lear’s former collaborators and friends discussing his approach to TV and his ability to use the sitcom format to have important conversations.

At the start of an interview with Phil Rosenthal about his food and travel series Somebody Feed Phil, I’m introduced as “Richard” (the company email I used to set up our chat displays my full name). I tell Rosenthal that I go by Rick.
“Ok, good,” he replies. “Because you know, I’m not partial to the name Richard” — which is the name of Rosenthal’s brother, Somebody Feed Phil executive producer and occasional on-camera tormentor Rich Rosenthal.
The tone is thus set for a diverting interview about season seven of Somebody Feed Phil, which premiered March 1 on Netflix. The series has become one of the streamer’s longer-running nonfiction shows, with the eight episodes of the current season bringing its total to 41. The new batch of episodes follows Rosenthal to Mumbai, Washington, D.C., Kyoto, Iceland, Dubai, the “real” Orlando, Taipei and Scotland.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Phil Rosenthal hasn’t been to a country in Asia for his Netflix food travel series “Somebody Feed Phil” since the “Singapore” episode of Season 4 aired in 2020. But with the Season 7 debut Friday, the “Everybody Loves Raymond” creator is back in the east with four out of eight episodes, including an installment featuring one giant bucket-list destination Rosenthal has been anxiously dreaming about for years.
“I’ve always wanted to go to India, so Mumbai was a real thrill for me. I’ve always loved Indian food, I have so many beautiful Indian friends,” Rosenthal told Variety. “But there were two things that kept me away.”
First, he was “afraid” of the ethical complications of doing his goofy bits in a country with such deep contrasts in its population’s standard of living.

The two big original releases on Netflix this month are Spaceman and 3 Body Problem. In Spaceman, Adam Sandler plays an astronaut alone and far from home who desperately wants to fix things with his wife. When he discovers an enormous alien spider in the bowels of his ship, a conversation between the two gets underway, and Sandler has a chance to make some big changes. To be clear: this is not a comedy!
Meanwhile, new sci-fi series 3 Body Problem hails from Game of Thrones co-creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. Along with True Blood writer Alexander Woo, they’ve spun a tale that is set to blow your mind this March. Your mileage may vary, but it certainly looks interesting! And hey, we all love the show’s star, Benedict Wong.

Recipes are far more than measurements and ingredients; they transport us to other places and times, evoking forgotten memories through the taste, texture, smell, sound and visual presentation of food. Key to our social history, recipe books passed down through the generations are a historical blueprint connecting us to our ancestors and food traditions. We remember the comfort of our mother’s arms with a taste of matzo ball soup or recall a joyous celebration with a bite of walnut cake.
It is this human and historical connection — forged by recipes — that has brought together Israeli American chef Alon Shaya (New Orleans’ Saba and Miss River, Denver’s Safta), 92-year-old Holocaust survivor Steven Fenves and Phil Rosenthal, from Netflix’s Somebody Feed Phil, to host the Rescued Recipes dinner in Los Angeles on Saturday, Oct. 21.

“Everybody Loves Raymond” creator and “Somebody Feed Phil” host Phil Rosenthal knows a thing or two about Hollywood, which is why Ktla’s Sam Rubin asked him about the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes Saturday morning. When it comes to what is really at the heart of what’s happening, Rosenthal pinned it all on one thing: “Greed.”
He said, “I’ve spoken to the people who are heading up the thing, they don’t know [when it will end].” The problem is “greed … and they’re not in the entertainment business, these people. This is not about studios and networks and writers and actors. This is about Corporate America versus the worker.”
When will Hollywood’s dual strikes end? @PhilRosenthal offers his thoughts. pic.twitter.com/GLyS0HTqXg

Rosenthal continued, “It’s very obvious that’s what’s happening. These giant conglomerations, they have the entertainment division as almost like an afterthought.

In an unexpected turn in the streaming sector, Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly discussing the possibility of licensing some of its original HBO content to competitor Netflix. The strategy diverges from the industry’s recent streaming strategy of hoarding content for their own direct-to-consumer services.
It’s not the first time HBO has explored syndication, with “Curb Your Enthusiasm” airing on TV Guide Network and “Entourage” on Spike. And from 2014 to 2018, HBO licensed shows to Amazon’s Prime Video. Still, it’s been years since an HBO original was available on a service not owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.
The roster of HBO shows potentially heading to Netflix remains undisclosed, but according to recent reports, it includes high-profile titles such as “Insecure.” Until an actual deal is struck, we can only speculate on the HBO shows that align well with Netflix’s content catalog. Data from Parrot Analytics — which takes into account consumer research,...

In 2019, veteran TV writer and producer Phil Rosenthal realized he had to move forward without one half of what he thought was “the best part” of his show — but more devastating than that problem was the personal heartbreak that came with it.
In between Seasons 2 and 3 of “Somebody Feed Phil,” Rosenthal’s Netflix food and travel show, his mother, Helen, died from Als. For the first two seasons, Rosenthal would dial Helen and his father, Max, on Skype to regale them with stories about each day’s adventure. The heart and humor of their responses was a large part of what kept viewers watching.
“They were the part that connected the audience to a family,” he says. “I know the audience loves them, because they write to me and tell me. Whenever I post a picture with them, I get the biggest response. I feel like I owe everything that...

Actor Aubrey Plaza dropped an F-bomb on live TV Saturday when she called into the “Lights, Camera, Take Action” telethon that aired on Ktla-tv Los Angeles and raised nearly 860,000 for the Motion Picture and Television Fund Home.
Plaza spoke excitedly in support of MPTF on speakerphone to actor Clark Gregg, who appeared live in Ktla’s Hollywood studio to serve as part of the telethon’s celebrity phone bank. Ktla’s longtime entertainment anchor Sam Rubin leaned his microphone into the conversation and asked Plaza about her role on HBO’s “The White Lotus” in its second season.
Plaza joked that the season would end with her killing off the other characters. “They’re all fucking dead,” Plaza said in jest. Earlier she also dropped a “don’t give a shit.” Rubin apologized to viewers minutes later, sheepishly suggesting that Plaza may not have realized she was on the air live.

The James Beard Awards, one of the most coveted accolades in the food world, are being held in Chicago on Monday, preceded by the James Beard Media Awards on Saturday, and small-screen favorites like Phil Rosenthal and “Top Chef: Family Style” are in the running.

A version of this story first appeared in the Race Begins issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
If Phil Rosenthal’s mother ever told him not to talk with his mouth full, he didn’t listen. From his shows “I’ll Have What Phil’s Having” and “Somebody Feed Phil” to his new podcast “Naked Lunch,” the man who made his mark on TV producing 200-plus episodes of “Everybody Loves Raymond” has found a thriving second career as an Everyman who travels the world eating everything put in front of him and talking about it all along the way.
“Life is short, and talking with your mouth full saves time,” he said. “But be careful. You have to be good at it. You don’t want to choke and die.

Antoni Porowski, the resident foodie on Netflix’s hit show “Queer Eye,” is taking his culinary talents to another reality series for the streamer.
In his first big swing outside of “Queer Eye,” Porowski will host and executive produce Netflix’s newest cooking competition series, “Easy-Bake Battle.” It already completed filming and will be released in the fall.
Inspired by the popular children’s toy, “Easy-Bake Battle” spotlights home chefs who go head-to-head in two rounds of savory and sweet challenges using only an Easy-Bake-style oven. Adult cooks — unlike the miniature kitchen appliance, this competition series is not suited for children — will compete for 25,000 in each battle. The winner has the chance to win up to 100,000.
Here’s the official synopsis: “Life is complicated, but cooking doesn’t have to be! Enter Easy-Bake Battle, a new culinary competition series inspired by Hasbro’s iconic Easy-Bake Oven, featuring skilled and ultra clever home cooks,...

Happy, hungry man Phil Rosenthal is back to travel all across the sea and the land for the fifth season of “Somebody Feed Phil.” Bringing fans to five new scrumptious locations — including Oaxaca, Maine, Helsinki, Portland and Madrid — the Wednesday release on Netflix will mark the first season to not include the “Everybody Loves Raymond” creator’s father Max Rosenthal, who died in June 2021.
For the first four seasons of “Somebody Feed Phil,” Max appeared over video chat to talk with his son wherever he was in the world and to tell viewers at home a joke. Rosenthal’s mother, Helen Rosenthal, was there alongside her husband Max for the bits in Seasons 1 and 2. She died in 2019.
In order to keep his late parents, whom he calls “the best part of the show,” included for the fifth season, Rosenthal came up with the idea for “A Joke for Max,” which...
