Whoopi Goldberg is back on The View Monday after sitting out for two weeks following a suspension due to the “hurtful” comment she made about the holocaust several weeks ago. “Welcome to The View. And yes, I am back,” she said, opening Monday’s show. “There’s something kind of marvelous about being on a show like this. We are The View and this is what we do. Sometimes we don’t this as elegantly as we could, and sometimes, well yeah.” "Welcome to The View, and yes, I am back." — Whoopi Goldberg...

It’s a group of strange ads that perfectly encapsulate the strange times we find ourselves in. For Super Bowl LVI, everyone from Zendaya to Paul Rudd, the kids from The Sopranos to Doja Cat, and even Kanye West himself popped up to hawk everything from Cryptocurrency, burgers, and hard sodas. From the ones that perhaps made us shed a tear to the spots that made us cry from laughter, here are the best, the worst and the “What the….” ads of 2022. Best: Coinbase “QR Code” Much like a Super...

The Sopranos lives! Or, at least, Meadow and AJ Soprano still do, in a Super Bowl commercial helmed by none other than Sopranos creator David Chase, in which Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Robert Iler reprise their roles as Tony Soprano’s children, Meadow and AJ. The involvement of Chase (and, for that matter, original Sopranos director of photography Phil Abraham) may not exactly place the Chevy Silverado commercial into official Sopranos canon, but it’s as close to a sequel to the iconic HBO gangster drama as we may ever get. (Well, it’s...

If the title of People Just Do Nothing doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about the cult-hit BBC series, consider the events of the pilot: Out of the gate, we see four boys banging away at their pirate radio station, Kurupt FM, assaulting everyone within a half-mile radius of their block tower with a barrage of British rave tunes. When a hostile neighbor threatens violence, Grindah — the self-proclaimed “Greatest MC in the Galaxy” and “general” of the group — demurs from confrontation, instead castigating his BFF DJ...

FX’s beloved comedy-drama Better Things is wrapping up with its fifth and final season — and Pamela Adlon is back to finish her role as Sam Fox, the single mom of three who rarely has time to focus on herself. (Relatable, huh?) On Wednesday, FX released the season’s official trailer as viewers got a sneak peek at Fox’s attempt to actually live her life to the fullest. Backed by the optimistic, sun-kissed “The Garden” by the Happy Fits, the trailer follows the mom as she sees her daughters start to come of...

AMC has announced when Better Call Saul will return for the first part of its sixth and final season, as well as a trio of short-form series inspired by the Breaking Bad spinoff. The first seven episodes of the acclaimed Bob Odenkirk-starring drama arrive weekly on AMC on April 18, with the final six episodes set to premiere in the summer starting July 11. Better Call Saul previously shared a brief teaser for Season 6, which Odenkirk stated was “a helluva great season. Our best…” Someday…SOON. It's a helluva great...

Now this is a story all about how… to stream the Fresh Prince reboot Bel-Air. Decades since the original first aired, the new show — based on Morgan Cooper’s fake trailer from 2019 that went viral — gives the popular Nineties sitcom a dramatic new angle, with familiar characters like Will, Carlton and Uncle Phil returning for an hour-long series that offers a grittier look into life from...

Cheer‘s Jerry Harris pleaded guilty to child pornography charges on Thursday, changing his original not guilty plea in a Chicago court. He faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years in prison if convicted as charged. In a statement to Rolling Stone, Harris’ attorneys wrote that Harris “wishes to take responsibility for his actions and publicly convey his remorse for the harm he has caused.” Harris, who had become a beloved character on the Netflix cheerleader docuseries for his boisterous personality and heartwarming backstory, was arrested by the FBI in September...

It’s certainly been a football season to remember, from the stark shadow of coronavirus that hung over pretty much everything, to the retirement of the NFL’s favorite son, Tom Brady himself. It was a rollicking few months that has culminated into yet another Super Bowl, the 56th annual big dance, as the eyes of the nation watch the Los Angeles Rams play for a second championship title as...

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission. Super Bowl Sunday is about a lot more than just football — there’s the catchy commercials (and the teaser trailers for said commercials), the halftime show, and loads of go-to game day snacks. But there’s another big game happening this weekend, and it’s not the Los Angeles Rams facing off against the Cincinnati Bengals. February 13 is all about Team Ruff versus Team Fluff, aka the annual Puppy...

Bob Saget died after accidentally hitting his head, his family said in a statement on Wednesday. The late comedian and Full House star was found dead in his Orlando hotel room on Jan. 9. A cause of death had not been released at the time and authorities said they found no signs of foul play or drug use. In a statement on Wednesday, Saget’s family thanked fans for the outpouring of love they’ve received. “Now that we have the final conclusions from the authorities’ investigation, we felt it only proper...

From time to time, a video will go so viral that it helps its creator get a job in the TV or movie business, like when Sarah Cooper’s Trump impressions on social media landed her a Netflix comedy special. It’s far rarer, though, for the viral video to simply be adapted into a real product for a legacy media company. This is famously how Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s video Christmas card for a Hollywood executive became South Park, and now it’s how Morgan Cooper’s fake trailer for a dramatic...

Amy Schumer’s Life & Beth is coming to Hulu next month — and its joke-stacked, silly trailer gives a look inside her character Beth’s shenanigans. Beth works as a wine distributor and has a longterm relationship with a wealthy guy, who’s not all that. “My boyfriend always says I seem like I’m a hundred, but at this point I’m just following him around like some sad-” she says, before another character adds, “loser.” Needless to say, Beth is “ready for a new start.” (And he doesn’t take the breakup so well.)...

The fourth season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is just days away — and fans of the show are getting a final preview of Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) owning her star power before the show returns to Prime Video on Feb. 18. “You know what’s great about me? It’s when I’m me,” says Midge during breakfast with her manager Susie (Alex Borstein). “Every single show, I’m gonna say exactly what’s on my mind.” The trailer then shows clips of an angry Midge doing exactly that as she performs, flips waiters’ trays of...
