While filming a stunt for her new FX spy series “The Veil,” Elisabeth Moss fractured a vertebrae in her back, hurting herself seriously enough that it left her lying on a roof in Istanbul for two hours.
The Emmy-winning actor spoke about the serious injury during an interview with Variety promoting the new series from creator Steven Knight, which premieres on Hulu on April 30. In the ticking-clock series, Moss plays Imogen, an undercover MI6 agent trying to stop an Isis terrorist attack planned for the United States.

If nothing else, The Veil is certainly efficient. While streaming series tend to stretch out their plots for far too many episodes and multiple seasons, Elisabeth Moss’ new Hulu thriller (premiering next Tuesday, April 30 on the streamer) is told across six lean episodes that mostly clock in well under an hour. Having seen all six, I can say it’s an effectively tense and propulsive drama that scratches that Homeland itch, with its tale of a damaged spy forming a close bond with a possible terrorist. But even in six hours, it still finds time for unnecessary subplots and bizarre...

We still don’t know whether Kevin Costner will be returning to his role as John Dutton for the final stretch of Yellowstone when the back half of Season 5 returns this November. However, some fans have a very clever idea for how the show could finish out the character’s arc by hiring someone else for the role: his Hollywood look-alike Bob Odenkirk to step into Dutton’s scruffy boots! For those unfamiliar with the Odenkirk-Costner connection, the gag comes from the former’s hit series Better Call Saul. In the Breaking Bad prequel, Odenkirk stars as a pre-Saul Goodman version of his character, who still goes by his given name of Jimmy McGill and pulls off lots of minor (but still gnarly) cons on unsuspecting rubes. In one instance, he convinces a pair of girls to come home with him and his best friend on the pretense that he’s Kevin Costner,...

FX’s adaptation of James Clavell’s doorstop of a novel, Shōgun, met — and for some, surely surpassed — any expectations, given its stellar cast and high-level production values.
The 10-episode series, which also streamed on Hulu and wrapped on April 23, covered the beginning, middle and end, and many key moments in between, of the 1,200-page novel that Clavell first published in 1975, building to a finale that was beautiful, poetic and largely satisfying.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Shōgun Episode 10, “A Dream of a Dream.”] FX‘s Shōgun reached its thrilling conclusion in Episode 10, “A Dream of a Dream.” In it, Lord Yoshii Toranaga’s (the fantastic Hiroyuki Sanada) dream of a nation at peace came true, albeit at a steep cost. As he told Lord Kashigi Yabushige (Tadanobu Asano) in their final scene, “Crimson Sky” was already finished. He “sent a woman to do what an army couldn’t,” and through Mariko’s (the great Anna Sawai) sacrifice, the final pieces of his plan fell into place. Because of Mariko, he wouldn’t have to draw his sword in battle at all. Sawai previously teased a moment of “revelation” in Shōgun‘s final scenes to TV Insider, and viewers now know what she meant. All this time that Toranaga spent denying that he wanted to be Shōgun (the military leader and de facto ruler of Japan), ...

After 34 years of hundreds of beers and very few lines, Larry the Barfly’s story has come to a sad end. Last weekend’s episode of The Simpsons titled “Cremains of the Day” (the show’s 765th episode) centered around the unexpected death of familiar character Larry, who has been a series regular since Season 1 in 1989. He spoke in a total of two episodes in the entire 34 years The Simpsons has been running – in Season 2 in “Bart Gets Hit by a Car” and in Season 8 in “El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer” (he says one word: “Colleague.”). He was often seen in the background of episodes, with – what many would describe as – a dumb look on his face. Larry would often lend his ear to the other patrons of the bar; he would usually sit in the back; and he was the tallest of the Moe’s Tavern regulars. Beyond that,...

Kleintank’s final episode comes on May 7, meaning that there will be two Season 3 episodes (the finale airs May 21) without Scott. Will the team get a new, permanent leader in those, or will that have to wait for the (already picked up) Season 4? Could it be Teri Polo‘s so far undisclosed character?

Editor’s note: This post contains spoilers for the ending of “Shōgun.”
And so, with one final view of Lord Toranaga standing alone at the edge of the world, FX’s “Shōgun” comes to a poignant, if abrupt end. Viewers who expected the old-school Japanese epic to end with a massive battle or other large-scale set piece may have been disappointed, but after spending ten episodes watching Toranaga mastermind his way through a 17th century game of thrones, the charged determination in his gaze is dynamic enough on its own.
The ending of “Shōgun” focuses on the certainty of Japan’s future, revealing the show’s true narrative as a heavily orchestrated reality wherein Toranaga has already won. But what exactly does his victory mean?
In the most literal sense of the word, it means nothing. Toranaga is a fictional character created by James Clavell to represent the historical shogun...

Complicated relationships and twisted secrets are at the heart of Hulu’s Under the Bridge, and that’s not limited to just the teenage characters. Based on the nonfiction book of the same name by Rebecca Godfrey, the limited series centers on the 1997 murder of fourteen-year-old Reena Virk (Vritika Gupta) and the classmates accused of killing her. While the show focuses heavily on adolescent angst and the cruelty of teenage girls, it also dedicates an ample amount of time to exploring the complex dynamic between its two adult female leads, writer Rebecca (Riley Keough) and police officer Cam (Lily Gladstone).

John Michael Higgins grew up on game shows as a child, so to play a host on TV or movies and then helm actual ones of his own is never lost on him. The prolific actor has been a popular fixture on the Game Show Network in recent years starting with America Says, which ran for five seasons over more than 500 episodes. The show even earned him an Emmy nomination for “Outstanding Game Show Host.” From there, Higgins has gone on to host a throwback in Split Second, which is currently in the middle of its second season. Based on the format from the legendary Monty Hall, the game sees three contestants decide in a split second which of the three general interest trivia questions they can answer. The first player to buzz in gets the first pick with the last player left to answer whatever is left, which is often the most difficult.

When someone drops an F-bomb on Saturday Night Live, it’s generally pretty newsworthy. But for some viewers, “the ‘Gd’ term” is equally offensive.
That’s the lesson Brooke Germain, an editor at The Nevada Sagebrush, learned when she filed a Freedom of Information Act request to receive all complaints that the FCC had received about SNL going back to the start of 2023. She has since posted the full file to the public records platform MuckRock—and, well, there’s a common theme.
In January of 2023, Colin Jost joked on “Weekend Update” that while Joe Biden and Donald Trump were embroiled in very different classified document scandals, both “made Hillary Clinton want to blow her Goddamn brains out.”
A viewer from Cumming, Georgia, emailed the FCC:
“Please note watching Saturday Night Live 01/21-22/23 over the air on Wxia 11 Atlanta, Ga the ‘Gd’ term was used, and I am not ok with this to begin with.

U.K. media regulator Ofcom has said it is “sounding a warning to broadcasters” to maintain “the highest level of due impartiality” ahead of a general election that is likely due later this year.

Induce Gagging
As his trial over illegally trying to hush up any scandals that might have derailed his 2016 run for President continues, Donald Trump continues to violate his own gag order. Whether it’s via his all-caps broadsides on social media or his prop-heavy pre- and post-proceedings press conferences, Trump persists in attacking jurors, the judge, the prosecutors, the legal system, and any reporters who publish accounts of him napping and passing copious gas in the courtroom.
In fact, on this second trial day proper, Trump stormed out of a morning session to determine whether he’d violated the gag order and… immediately violated the gag order, putting out a Truth Social rant attacking Judge Juan Merchan and the New York Da’s office. And while Merchan...

With three episodes left to air in Season 6, CBS’ FBI appears to be taking a veteran team member out of the field.
The April 23 episode, “Family Affair,” revolved around the abduction of a pregnant woman, Denise, by her cult leader father. With a begrudging Ok from the Atf (which had been keeping eyes on the cult’s well-armed commune), the FBI team launched a plan to find and rescue Denise. Scola posed as the weekly food delivery driver, with Maggie and Oa hiding in the back of his truck. After Scola pulled up to the commune’s main house, Maggie...

Another FBI series is saying goodbye to a team leader—let’s just hope this time isn’t with a tragic death in the line of duty, like was the case for Julian McMahon‘s Jess on Most Wanted. Luke Kleintank, who has played the Fly Team’s leader Scott Forrester since the series premiere in 2021, is leaving FBI: International in Season 3, according to Deadline. His final episode is set to air on Tuesday, May 7. That’s two episodes before the finale on May 21, so we’ll have to wait to see what this means for the team in the rest of the season. This news comes soon after CBS renewed the show for its fourth season. “After much thought and consideration, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave FBI International,” Kleintank said in a statement to Deadline. “This decision is driven by my unwavering commitment to my family,...

Watch most comedians long enough and you’ll start to hear the same stories. But watch Stephen Colbert long enough and you’ll always find he has a new reason for audiences to fall in love with his wife, Evie.
On Sunday, April 21 at The Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, California, “The Late Show” host and Ben Schwartz closed out PaleyFest LA 2024 with a wide-ranging and goofy Q&a that included Colbert retelling some of his career-best stories while gently negging his interviewer’s questioning style.
“I will tell you a question I have been asked before,” Colbert quipped, turning Schwartz’ first prompt back on the actor in a good nature. “It’s ‘What’s a question you haven’t been asked before?'”
“And Ok, we’re going to the next question, you guys!,” Schwartz said with a laugh.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the April 23 episode of Jeopardy!] Nam Nguyen set an impressive buzzer stat in the April 22 game of Jeopardy!. His buzzer percentage was 71 percent, which host Ken Jennings said was “almost unheard of” at the top of the April 23 episode. But his speedy buzzing (which he attributes to his video game experience) wasn’t enough to protect the one-day champ from an incorrect answer in Final Jeopardy. Nguyen, a playwright from Mississauga, Ontario, was playing against Mark Lashley, a professor from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Lianne Schaffer, a piano teacher and musician from Newton, Massachusetts on Tuesday. He enjoyed a large lead for the entire game, and a runaway game was nearly possible. Thanks to some Daily Double action, Lashley was able to catch up to the point where his score was just a bit more than half of Nguyen’s. The scores going into the final were Nguyen with $17,600, Lashley with $9,000, and Schaffer with $7,000. ...

Jerry Seinfeld is still bothered “a little bit” by how “Seinfeld” ended. Let’s just say, it wasn’t as cinematic as his favorite finale ever: “Mad Men.”
Seinfeld, who makes his directorial debut with upcoming Netflix film “Unfrosted,” told GQ that while he doesn’t “believe in regret,” he couldn’t help but compare the “Seinfeld” finale to the “greatest” series finale of all-time with Emmy-winning AMC’s “Mad Men.”
“I feel ‘Mad Men’ was the greatest,” Seinfeld said. “A lot of people like the ‘Bob Newhart’ one. ‘Mary Tyler Moore’ was Ok. ‘Mad Men’ was the greatest final moment of a series I’ve ever seen. So satisfying. So funny.”
During the recent series finale of Larry David’s long-running meta HBO series “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” David and Seinfeld reunite onscreen to revisit the controversial “Seinfeld” final moments with the stand-up comic ending up in jail.

Before he was Jack Reacher, Alan Ritchson was the tough-talking linebacker Kevin “Thad” Castle on the football comedy Blue Mountain State, a raunchy and hilarious mash-up of Friday Night Lights and American Pie. If you missed out on that cult favorite sports series during its original run, well, you’re in luck: Not only is it already available to stream for free with ads on services like Freevee, Tubi, and Plex, but it’s going to be available to stream uninterrupted (again) on Netflix starting Wednesday, May 1, five years after it was suddenly removed from the streamer’s library. Blue Mountain State ran for three seasons on Spike TV (now Paramount) and centered on a rather ridiculous fictional Midwest football team whose football team, the “Mountain Goats,” was full of ne’erdowellers who were obsessed with hard partying. The show ran for three seasons, from 2010-2011 but was canceled by...

The 2023 rom-com Anyone But You made waves last year when the film cast two rising-star leads, Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, who then embarked on a steamy PR campaign. Upon its release, the film clawed its way up the box office, proving once and for all that hottie-filled rom-coms are alive and well.
In the film, from Easy A director Will Gluck, Bea (Sweeney) and Ben (Powell) first lay eyes on each other during a meet-cute at a busy Boston coffee shop, which leads to a great date, which leads to disaster. Months later, when the sworn enemies are invited to a destination wedding, they reluctantly agree to be pretend-together to make his ex jealous and her parents to stop trying to force her back together with hers. Now Bea and Ben are about to get uncomfortably close — whether they like it or not.
