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?

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...

(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...

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…...
