Jim Carrey, Chris Rock, John Mayer, and John Stamos lead an all-star tribute to the late Bob Saget in a new Netflix comedy special out tomorrow, June 10.

“Let me spill the tea, ’cause I feel like nobody’s asked me about this before,” says Deleesa St. Agathe, laughing. St. Agathe is the mom of two small children and a lifestyle influencer with more than 333,000 followers on Instagram, but she’s perhaps best known as the winner of Season 2 of The Circle, Netflix’s hyper-addictive reality series about a group of contestants in a social media network called The Circle. (The Circle does not exist outside of the confines of the show itself.) Contestants periodically rank each other based on likability...

There are few things John Oliver delights in more than ripping on AT&T, which ultimately owns HBO and Last Week Tonight, and which Oliver likes to refer to as “business daddy.” So when Oliver gave viewers a brief history lesson about how the U.S. government has historically moved to break up harmful business monopolies, he naturally focused on AT&T, which until the 1980s had a monopoly on all telephone service in the country. He pointed out that once AT&T was broken up, prices dropped and innovation soared, resulting in advancements...

Netflix has officially confirmed what millions of viewers have long suspected: Squid Game will return for a second season. The series’ writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk announced the news Sunday in a letter to fans, noting that the global popularity of the South Korean show paved the way for a Season 2. “It took 12 years to bring the first season of Squid Game to life last year. But it took 12 days for Squid Game to become the most popular Netflix series ever,” Hwang wrote, providing a slight tease at next...

This post contains spoilers for the third season finale of Barry, which is available now on HBO and HBO Max. The Barry Season Three finale, “Starting now,” takes its title from a running gag in the Season One finale, where hitman/actor Barry (Bill Hader) kept insisting that he was going to live a violence-free life from that moment onward, only for more opportunities for murder to come up, most notably when he chose to kill cop Janice Moss after she figured out about his day job. When Barry said “Starting…...

Weekend Update tackled the confirmation of new Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and Will Smith’s 10-year Oscar ban on the latest episode of Saturday Night Live. “Justice Jackson was honored Friday at a White House ceremony and said ‘We have come a long way toward perfecting our union,’ which is a direct quote from Ben Affleck’s proposal to J. Lo,” Colin Jost quipped. After touching on Mitch McConnell and Tom Cotton’s reaction to Jackson’s confirmation, Weekend Update noted that Barack Obama returned to the White House this week for...

“People say Hawkins is cursed,” Finn Wolfhard’s Mike Wheeler ponders in the latest Stranger Things trailer. “They’re not way off.” In the first full-length preview of the long-running series’ fourth and penultimate season, the crew bands together to save the hellish city from complete, monstrous ruin once more. In the trailer, the brave high schoolers try their best to readjust to day-to-day life in the aftermath of their most tumultuous and traumatizing battle yet, one which resulted in greater loss than they had ever experienced. But the transition from encountering...

A review of this week’s Winning Time, “Memento Mori,” coming up just as soon as I ask not to be buzzard fucked… Two of the three main stories of “Memento Mori” involve making the best of a bad situation in the moment, while the third seems to involve someone taking advantage of a great situation and instead making the worst possible choice. The hour is primarily concerned, unsurprisingly, with the aftermath of Jack McKinney’s brutal bicycle accident from the end of “Pieces of a Man.” Though Jack looked near death...

Curb Your Enthusiasm is still going strong as Larry David reveals that the improvisational comedy series will return for a twelfth season. The actor, who stars in the series derived as a follow up to the 1999 HBO comedy special Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm, revealed the news at an HBO Max-presented Directors Guild of America Emmys event hosted by Rich Eisen. So, I was honored to emcee an @TheEmmys panel for “Curb Your Enthusiasm” tonight here in LA with most of the cast and asked Larry David the ultimate...

John Oliver began his show by discussing the vile Russian propaganda the country’s state-run television networks have been spewing since the invasion of Ukraine, then transitioned to a totally different topic: vile American propaganda. Specifically, the ooze aired on One America News Network, or OAN, which famously became Donald Trump’s favorite source of policy guidance once Fox News got too liberal for him. As an example of the network’s programming, Oliver brought up “pillow prince Mike Lindell’s election fraud documentary, ‘Absolute Proof.’ And yes, I am using the word ‘documentary’...

After six seasons of anticipation and teases, Better Call Saul has finally confirmed the moment fans of the Breaking Bad spinoff have waited for: The return of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.  It was long-rumored that the characters played by Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul would eventually appear during Better Call Saul, a prequel series of sorts. With the Bob Odenkirk-starring show entering its final season, AMC revealed the return of the meth-making duo in a tweet Saturday. “They’re coming back,” the tweet announced alongside a photo of Pinkman and...
