Michael Che is generally the better half of Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update desk, and not just because saying otherwise is a good way to get yelled at on Instagram (no offense to Colin Jost, but he has this whole… Colin Jost thing going on). Thanks to HBO Max, though, Che is stepping away from the desk and…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: With the release of Andy Samberg’s Palm Springs and the latest Ghostbusters sequel getting pushed to 2021, we’re highlighting movies starring Saturday Night Live alumni…

Mark your calendars for July 20 because Happy Endings is BACK, babies. Per Variety, the full cast of the internet’s favorite canceled-too-soon sitcom will reunite for the special, which features all-new scripted material. Similar to NBC’s recent Parks And Recreation reunion (which now feels like it happened a year and…

It’s been long enough now that the people whose faces we recognize from old memes are ready to embrace their stardom, either getting out there to share their origin stories with the world or, as in the case of that baby from the Success Kid photo, getting old enough that they’re able to articulate what it’s like to…

Black-ish creator Kenya Barris has accomplished something that not too many in his position, past or present, have managed to accomplish: He has developed multiple, successful spin-offs of a popular sitcom. That’s no easy feat, and we can appreciate a good idea that continues to bear fruit. So while we have to tamp…

Even more so than in previous seasons, the third outing of HBO Max’s Search Party (formerly TBS’ Search Party) challenges its audience’s allegiance to its privileged protagonists. As Dory Sief (Alia Shawkat) and Drew Gardner (John Reynolds) stand trial for murder, you may have found yourself questioning whether or not…

Hong Kong Disneyland is shutting down again following a surge of 52 new cases of COVID-19 in the city, reports CNN. Disneyland’s China outpost reopened on June 18 with new sanitization and social distancing guidelines, but the surge of new cases has forced the company to re-close. Perhaps Hong Kong Disneyland could’ve…

As most of us brace ourselves for a return to societal lockdowns (lockdowns many of us never really left in the first place, if we’re being honest), it’s probably good to keep our sense of perspective about the pandemic’s effects on our lives. Sure, interminable months of self-quarantining in close quarters with loved…

The second season of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers TV series received a sudden shakeup when the actors for Jason, Trini, and Zack left due to contract disputes. At the time, their characters were written off by attending a peace conference in Switzerland, paving the way for Rocky, Aisha, and Adam to take their…

Glee never had a shortage of characters, and when Naya Rivera made her first appearance in the pilot, she was basically a featured extra. But even when she was simply dancing backup to Dianna Agron, there was something undeniably magnetic about her performance as brutally honest sophomore Santana Lopez. And when the…

Some people know Emily Mortimer as one of Mary Poppins’ former charges. Others know her as Em from her semi-autobiographical HBO comedy Doll & Em, or from her roles in films like Hugo, Match Point, Lars And The Real Girl, and Shutter Island. You might even remember her as Phoebe, Jack Donaghy’s very delicate fiancé…

Back in 2010, the internet was temporarily amused by the so-called “Kung Fu Bear.” As impressive as this furry warrior was, all he really did was play aimlessly with a stick for a few minutes. He didn’t show any signs of taking his studies further, progressing beyond the staff and into the more advanced martial arts…

“Ben Stone once said I’d have to decide if I was a lawyer who was Black or a Black man who was a lawyer. All those years I thought I was the former. All those years I was wrong.”

Look, nobody would be at all surprised if popular vote winner and career politician Hillary Clinton were uninterested in helping us out right now. That is, if she were like non popular vote-getter and dictionary illustration of soulless narcissism and petty middle school bullying Donald Trump. But, as former Secretary…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, July 14. All times are Eastern.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, former MythBusters host Grant Imahara has died. The news was confirmed by a statement from a Discovery representative, referring to Imahara as an “important part of our Discovery family and a really wonderful man.” A cause of death was not given, but THR’s sources say he died…

An unexpectedly huge shake-up is happening at ABC’s Dancing With The Stars, and not the kind of shake-up where a celebrity gets pretty good scores from the judges but fails to get any votes from the viewers and gets sent home, because that happens all the time. We’re talking legitimately unexpected (and not, for the…

We need victimhood to be this perfect thing, don’t we? So far, Arabella, Kwame and Terry have all been “perfect” victims. Their attacks were all examples of crimes perpetrated by strangers and there’s little that gets in the way of the audience feeling sympathy for them. In reality, victimhood is not this simple.…

It shouldn’t be particularly surprising to find out that the Hamilton cast recording album has exploded in popularity ever since the musical premiered on Disney+, with Rolling Stone saying its sales went up 1,000 percent between June 26 and July 9 (as compared to the previous two weeks). That merely speaks to the…

The Clone Wars may be over, but as is always the case in the Star Wars universe, nothing ever really ends. Today, Disney announced a new animated spin-off of The Clone Wars called The Bad Batch, focusing on the eponymous group of elite clone commandos that were first introduced in the final season of the parent show.…

Ah, the ’90s.

In May, we reported that Michael Bay was going to produce a movie called Songbird that takes a Paranormal Activity or Cloverfield-style approach to a global pandemic, telling a story about citizens in the virus-ravaged Los Angeles of 2022 where lockdowns were rolled back too early and the virus came back stronger than…
