Someone get Nick Cannon’s stork a veterinarian because that poor bird’s back probably hurts. The Masked Singer host went on the Lip Service podcast on Tuesday and answered some questions about rumors that he had some more babies on the way. “When you say ‘on the way . . . ‘ What count are you at? Let’s just put it this way . . . the stork is on the way,” Cannon said. Responding to a question that he could have three children showing up this year, he added, “I...

AMC’s new drama Dark Winds, based on Tony Hillerman’s bestselling series of buddy-cop mystery novels set on a Navajo reservation in New Mexico, is not the first television attempt at the property. Twenty years ago, PBS made a trio of TV-movies adapted from Hillerman’s books, starring Wes Studi as veteran detective Joe Leaphorn and Adam Beach as his young partner Jim Chee. While it was exciting to see an under-represented group at the center of a familiar genre, it was also a sign of Hollywood’s limited imagination when it came...

“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…...

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.

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...

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...
