For countless fans of the romantic comedy, Hugh Grant will always be just a boy standing in front of a girl. But speaking with IndieWire for his single-episode guest appearance as Ed Keplinger in HBO’s “The Regime,” the 63-year-old British actor seemed blissfully out of touch with the genre that launched his stardom.
When asked about Hollywood’s rom-com resurgence, Grant said, “I didn’t know there was one. What should I watch?”
Since the summer that brought us “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” and “Crazy Rich Asians,” movies about meet-cutes and star-crossed lovers have strengthened their foothold in streaming while taking leaps forward at the box office. IndieWire suggested Grant try anything with Glen Powell, a standout rom-com stud also known for “Top Gun: Maverick” who has been described as this generation’s Grant on occasion.

Jeopardy! has been experimenting with format tweaks over the past year, including contestant and puzzle board split screens and, more controversially, encouraging contestants to recite the entire category names. However, as many viewers have noticed during the currently airing Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament, the show seems to have relaxed its rule that contestants must read out the whole category every time they select a clue. The game show’s executive producer, Michael Davies, confirmed this rule relaxation on a recent episode of Inside Jeopardy! podcast, where he admitted the change didn’t quite work as intended. “I dont think we’ve made a perfect change,” Davies said. “We had briefed the contestants to give full names of categories… and then people have commented on that.” “We’ve obviously gone back,” he continued. “If it’s a 12-word category, we’re not asking you to repeat all 12 words. It was getting a little informal,...

“Jon Stewart benefited by 829% ‘overvalue’ of his NYC home even as he labels Trump’s civil case ‘not victimless,’” read the headline in The New York Post Wednesday. And like so many stories about the politically polarizing Daily Show host, the Post story prompted social media outrage and countless re-writes from other (mostly conservative) outlets.
The gist of it is this: Jon Stewart took defenders of Donald Trump to task on Monday night’s Daily Show for arguing that when Trump inflated the value of his real estate assets to get better terms on loans and insurance it was “a victimless crime.”
Stewart’s contention was that “money isn’t isn’t infinite,” and when one person gets a loan because they lied, it means there’s less money available for loan seekers who give an honest valuation of their assets. Hence, not a victimless crime.

A Wheel of Fortune contestant overcame the odds on Wednesday night (March 27) in spite of a “dumb rule” costing her a big chunk of money and a trip early in the episode. Many fans were furious about what happened and felt she was cheated out of a big win. The contestant in question was Emma Wan, a recently engaged former half-marathon runner from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Wan got out to a hot start, picking up the Wildcard Wedge ahead of the Express Round, where she attempted to solve a seven-word “Phrase” puzzle. Wan answered the first part of the puzzle perfectly, but she took a pause in the middle before figuring out the rest. “Can’t See The Forest… Oh shoot,” she said before adding, “For The Trees.” Unfortunately for Wan, she wasn’t awarded the puzzle, as host Pat Sajak told her, “I’m getting a no from everybody,” referring to the producers’ decision.

[Editor’s note: Spoilers for “X-Men ’97” Episode 3 below.]
After its first two episodes, Marvel’s “X-Men ’97” (currently streaming on Disney+) had us hooked with that duplicate Jean Grey cliffhanger. It really is a successful continuation of the beloved “X-Men: The Animated Series” from the ’90s.
All was revealed in the trippy Episode 3 (“Fire Made Flesh”), which introduced nemesis Mr. Sinister, the genius Victorian geneticist, while revealing that the duplicate Jean Grey is the actual Jean Grey, while the first Jean Grey was none other than Madelyn Pryor (aka The Goblin Queen), Sinister’s infamous clone possessing the same psychic/telekinetic powers as the original.
Now things are really screwed up for the Cyclops and Grey married couple because Pryor is the actual mother of their newborn mutant son, Nathan, whom Sinister has sinister plans for as part of his world domination. That’s where the season’s most fantastical action sequence thus far comes in,...

The longest-running Star Trek series on Paramount+ is coming to an end with the upcoming fifth season. But of course as tends to be the case when any show ends (especially now), we have to wonder what the chances are of Discovery continuing in any way, whether it’s a revival, a movie, a spinoff, or characters appearing on another Trek show. TV Insider asked just that question when speaking with executive producer Alex Kurtzman ahead of Discovery‘s final episodes. “I think the chances are good,” the EP tells us, but when pressed if there have been any talks about anything, only says, “I’m not going to spoil anything for you.” Of course we immediately think of Mary Wiseman‘s Sylvie Tilly, who left the U.S.S. Discovery and has been teaching at Starfleet Academy but does rejoin her former crew during the final season, given Paramount...

The Saturday Night Live star appeared on the Tamron Hall Show on Wednesday, March 27, where he was asked about his relationship with Bynes. “I unfortunately haven’t spoken to Amanda since she was really, really young,” Thompson said. “Like when she was doing her first movies. I think the soccer movie [She’s the Man] was around that time, was the last time I actually saw her. I’m just rooting for her from afar.” According to Entertainment Weekly, Thompson also wrote about Bynes in his recent memoir, When I Was Your Age: Life Lessons, Funny Stories & Questionable Parenting Advice From a Professional Clown. “She was adorable and had a ginormous range of talent,” Thompson wrote. “She was the best, man; we were very close.

Daytime star Jeanne Cooper didn’t hide the fact that she got a facelift in 1984. She couldn’t, since footage from the procedure aired on The Young and the Restless 40 years ago, on March 28 of that year. Cooper, who played Katherine Chancellor on the CBS soap from 1974 until just before her death in 2013, said on The Talk in 2012 that the procedure was her idea. “I walked by a mirror one day and scared the hell out of myself,” she quipped (per HuffPost). “Everything that happened in that storyline was first-hand. And you saw everything as I saw it.” In a 2009 Television Academy interview, Cooper said that when she asked The Young and the Restless co-creator Bill Bell for time off to recover from her facelift, he thought that art could imitate life. “He came down to the dressing room one day, and he said, ‘Jeanne, how would you feel about...

It was five months ago that Roy Wood Jr. announced he was leaving The Daily Show after serving as a correspondent at the show for eight years.
Arguably the show’s highest profile correspondent (he had just won rave reviews after hosting the White Correspondents Dinner earlier in 2023), Wood’s departure was yet another blow to The Daily Show following a year of instability that began with former host Trevor Noah’s own abrupt departure in late 2022. A parade of guest hosts followed, then came the Writers Strike, and then–we later learned–after producers told staffers that Comedy Central was finally moving ahead with a new host (Hasan Minhaj), that decision was reversed.
Now Wood is speaking out. In a candid new interview with fellow Daily Show alum Samantha Bee on her podcast Choice Words, Wood described his decision to leave in binary terms:

Insurrectionists Need Not Apply
The fallout from NBC News’ disastrous decision to hire former Republican National Committee chair and caught-on-tape 2020 coup participant Ronna McDaniel continued on Wednesday. In addition to the former GOP operative’s threats to sue NBC in the wake of her firing after a massive public outcry (and that of most NBC on-air personalities), NBC executives are facing further scrutiny for offering a job to someone who has routinely backed up former President and January 6 insurrectionist Donald Trump’s lies about the election being stolen. (At least until McDaniel was herself fired from her RNC post by presumptive nominee Trump in favor of his daughter-in-law Lara.)

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Survivor Season 46 Episode 5, “Tiki Man.”] Do you hear that? That’s the sigh of relief I just let out watching Yanu finally win its first Immunity Challenge. Thank goodness that team caught a break; I don’t know if I could have watched another depressing Yanu Tribal Council. With Yanu out of the woods, Survivor 46 could finally focus more time on other teams, revealing their strengths and weaknesses. Nami is still undefeated, but Hunter is looking more and more like an all-around great player. Venus is still struggling with her social game, and her strategy of boldness isn’t helping her make friends. Siga, the only team not to lose a player this season so far (Nami lost Randen to a medical emergency in Episode 3), showed its cards when preparing for Tribal. A few of the contestants stood out from the pack, while others landed themselves in the bottom with shoddy strategy.

Most of us have quietly curtailed our lockdown hobbies, but internet creator Teigan Reamsbottom is still getting up at 4 a.m. to curate camp-classic pop culture video clips. He also does his best to improve the video quality using a dedicated gaming computer he’s stuffed full of Ram and a software suite that uses machine-learning algorithms to preserve the clips’ original characteristics.
In a world where movies can be vanished for tax write-offs and physical media can be scarce, it’s heartening to see pop-culture artifacts unearthed — even if it means that no ’80s or ’90s celebrity is safe.
Exhibit A: from the heyday of “Sex and the City,” an interview with Kim Cattrall where she scat sings while her then-husband Mark plays an upright bass. The clip has long been an internet fixture (it was once the subject of an exhibit at Lower East Side gallery THNK1994). It...

“Star Trek” fans got a couple fascinating details in a March 27 report by Variety on the future of the franchise on Paramount+. The biggest for sure is that the character of Rachel Garrett, the first female captain of the USS Enterprise, will be appearing in the “Section 31” direct-to-Paramount+ movie that’s going to star Michelle Yeoh.
The actress Kacey Rohl will be playing Garrett, who was the captain of the Enterprise-c in the first half of the 24th century and was the subject of one of the most beloved “Next Generation” episodes ever: “Yesterday’s Enterprise” (she was played by Tricia O’Neal in the original episode).
That time-travel episode was about how the Enterprise-c was ripped out of history at a battle with the Romulans where it was supposed to have perished; instead the ship was hurled 22 years into the future where it meets Picard’s Enterprise, the Enterprise-d. As...

The credit-ratings agency S&P Global just threatened to turn Paramount Mountain into Paramount Hillock.
Standard & Poor’s cut Paramount Global’s credit rating for senior unsecured debt to a “Bb+,” down from a “Bbb-.” Talk about “poor.” Paramount’s credit rating, which will carry through 2025, is now in what the agency considers “junk” status. (S&P Global considers any rating lower than “Bbb” to be junk grade and a “high risk.”)
Even with the downgrade to its borrowing power, Paramount Global’s stock (Para) grew on Wednesday.
In its Wednesday report (obtained by IndieWire), S&P Global cited “the ongoing deterioration of the linear television ecosystem and the elevated investments for its direct-to-consumer (Dtc) streaming model” as its reason for the downgrade. Specifically, Paramount’s Fofc/debt (free operating cash flow vs. debt) rate is “well below” 10 percent. S&P Global expects Paramount to stay there — for a while,...

You can bet you’re going to see a whole lot more ads pushing the Disney Bundle, which is the only way to get access to Hulu content via the Disney+ app (the marketing campaign is already in full swing). Disney even changed the color of its logo to a bluish green blend to let you know the app is Disney+ And Hulu merged together.
The idea is that by understanding how much content is available to you without having to swap between apps to find what you want to watch, you’re less likely to cancel. They also want more subscribers. Disney+ as of the end of 2023 has 46.1 million subscribers in the U.S. and Canada compared to Hulu’s 49.7 million.

As we first reported last week, HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher, which airs live Friday nights, began re-airing on CNN Saturday nights at 8 p.m. last weekend. But as those who tuned may have noticed, Maher’s show is bit different when it replays on the cable news network.
CNN is removing about 12 minutes from each episode of to allow for commercials,
“The second half of the panel discussion, that’s what’s gonna get the ax,” Maher told Variety. “It’s not perfect, but I’m thrilled to be on CNN. My father was a newsman… I wish my parents were alive to see this.”
This isn’t the first time that Real Time has made its way to CNN, as Maher’s post-show segment, Overtime, had aired on the news network live on Friday nights for a time beginning last year. With the move to re-air Real Time on Saturdays,...

Editor’s Note: The following post contains spoilers for “The New Look” Episode 9.
With the penultimate episode of “The New Look” comes the end of the road for Elsa Lombardi (Emily Mortimer), one of the most fascinating and fictionalized characters in Todd Kessler’s Apple TV+ series. After a fight with Coco (Juliette Binoche), a critical interaction with Spatz (Claes Bang), and a fatal overdose, Elsa is found dead while Coco weeps over her body.
But a quick scan of history reveals that Elsa Lombardi never existed. According to Kessler, Mortimer’s character is an amalgam of two figures in Chanel’s life, fused for narrative purposes to serve the series. One of those is the French-Polish musician Misia Sert, who met Chanel in 1917, and the other is British socialite Vera Lombardi, whose lifestyle inspired the House of Chanel.
The real-life Lombardi was Chanel’s way into British high society,...

His confession was only the beginning…
Robert Durst’s prison sentence is captured in the highly-anticipated “The Jinx – Part Two,” airing almost a decade after Durst infamously said on camera that he “killed them all, of course” in original Emmy-winning 2015 series “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst.”
“Part Two” is a six-episode continuation hailing from Andrew Jarecki. Per HBO, the filmmakers continued their investigation for the next eight years, uncovering hidden material, Durst’s prison calls, and interviews with witnesses who had not come forward until now for the second installment.
Durst was arrested in a hotel lobby in New Orleans following evidence uncovered by the filmmakers from the docuseries which was decades in the making. The show went on to be nominated for six Emmys, winning Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series and Outstanding Picture Editing for Nonfiction Programming.

There has been no shortage of television series centering the horrors of the Holocaust. Last year alone, Netflix’s “Transatlantic” depicted a group of resistors living in Marseille, and National Geographic’s “A Small Light” offered a retelling of Anne Frank’s experience through the eyes of Miep Gies, the woman who aided the Franks during their years in hiding. Though both of these series and those like them are important, Hulu’s “We Were the Lucky Ones,” an adaptation of Georgia Hunter’s best-selling novel based on a true story, showcases something different. The show chronicles a family torn apart by war and hatred.

Sydney Sweeney actually couldn’t be happier that “Euphoria” Season 3 — whose filming was recently delayed at HBO — will involve a time jump from Season 2.
The Emmy-nominated actress revealed in a Who What Wear cover story that the extra time between Seasons 2 and 3 of the teen drama will give the actress “more room for growth” as a person, which no doubt will be reflected in her character Cassie’s arc for the upcoming “wild” installment.
“I actually like it because there’s so much room for growth for both me as a person and also Cassie as a character,” Sweeney said.
She teased of the upcoming storyline, “It’s going to be very, very wild.”
A recent statement from HBO revealed that “Euphoria” showrunner Sam Levinson is still at work on Season 3 scripts. A network representative said that HBO and Levinson “remain committed to making an exceptional third season” and that “in the interim,...

A few glasses deep into Polly Brindle’s birthday champagne, Tyler Stanaland intently stares across a hot tub at his co-worker Alex Hall. “I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t think about us being more than friends,” he tells her in the Selling the Oc Season 2 finale. “If I’m in a crowded room and I look across and I see you, everything feels normal.”

Paramount Global’s debt rating was cut to junk status by credit-rating agency S&P Global, which cited the media conglomerate’s ongoing challenges with free cash flow generation relative to its debt.
S&P on Wednesday said it expects Paramount Global’s free operating cash flow-to-debt will remain “well below” 10% through 2025, and that adjusted leverage (debt-to-equity ratio) will stay above 3.5 times through then. The agency cited “the ongoing deterioration of the linear television ecosystem and the elevated investments for its direct-to-consumer (Dtc) streaming model” for the downgrade.

Jerry Seinfeld has been thinking about the Pop-Tart for a long time. As far back as a Late Show appearance in 2010, the comedian and actor has been stewing on the rectangular Kellogg’s snack. In 2018, he tweeted that he’d been thinking about “an invention of the [Pop-Tart] movie.” Soon, the idea spread into his work.
“[Co-writer] Spike Feresten and I, as a joke, would say to each other, ‘Let’s make a movie about Pop-Tarts,’ ” Seinfeld told Netflix. “And then when the pandemic happened and we had nothing to do, he said, ‘Let’s really write this as a movie.’ ” With Unfrosted, that long-joked-about movie is now a reality.
Unfrosted is set in Michigan in 1963, the year before Pop-Tarts hit grocery store shelves and shocked young Jerry Seinfeld into a 60-year trajectory toward this very moment. “My first memory of Pop-Tarts is, once I tasted it, I assumed...

Standup comedian, actor and Golden Globe winner Ramy Youssef is hosting SNL for the first time this weekend, and in a just-released promo featuring Kenan Thompson, the star of Hulu’s Ramy explains why he’s so honored to host the iconic sketch series.
The promo begins with Youssef explaining how he’s “honored to be the first-ever Arab host of SNL,” but then Thompson cuts him off and tells him that he’s actually not the first Arab host.
Youssef starts again and says he’s honored to be the show’s “first-ever Egyptian host” before Thompson corrects him once again, telling him he’s “not that, either.”
When Youssef tries a third time, claiming to be SNL’s “first-ever Egyptian host named Ramy,” Thompson finally reminds him that Oscar winner Rami Malek previously hosted the show (October 2021).
Youssef is unimpressed, saying, “Who cares? Being first [is] dumb anyway.

That’s right — the Korean reality competition series made its triumphant return on March 19 and is pushing the limits again.

But much is still familiar: Like before, a group of 100 diverse contestants of all ages, gender identities, and fitness backgrounds compete in various quests to determine who has the “ideal physique.” And as we’ve learned, the answer isn’t as obvious as you’d think.
