In recent years, it’s been a popular trend to cast a well-known star as the host of a game show, especially a new one. Often, this has been seen as a way to garner good ratings and get people interested in the show. However, Fox First Run has recently announced the end of two of their star-studded game shows.

One Show Had Recently Seen The Launch Of A UK Version

Fox First Run serves as the Fox Corporation’s syndication branch. The division was founded back in 2019.

Recently, it was announced that Fox First Run wouldn’t be renewing a few of its show. Notably, this included two game shows that both had a well-known actor as its host: Pictionary and Person, Place or Thing.

According to The U.S. Sun, one of the two Monday to Friday game shows ending is Pictionary, which is hosted by actor Jerry O’Connell.

Disney’s planned Tangled live-action remake may have found the perfect actress to play Mother Gothel! Here’s what we know!

Like it or not, Disney’s live-action remakes aren’t going away. The company seems obsessed with making a live-action version of just about every major animated movie in its catalog. It’s not just the classics like Snow White, The Little Mermaid, or Beauty and the Beast either.

Moana is shooting a live-action version with Dwayne Johnson reprising his role as Maui. This summer sees the live-action Lilo & Stitch movie. Disney is also planning a version of Tangled, which makes sense as the 2010 film was one of the bigger hits of that decade.

The take on the Rapunzel myth had a good storyline and wonderful songs. It also boasted one of the best Disney animated villains ever, Mother Gothel. The twisted sorceress presented herself as a mother to...

With CBS’ The Talk soon coming to end, fans are starting to wonder what the last episodes are going to be like. Co-host Jerry O’Connell has recently spoken out about what it’s like working on the show during its final days. In particular, he addressed rumors on what the crew is going through as the show is reaching its final episode.

Jerry O’Connell Joined The Talk Back In 2021

O’Connell first came to prominence as a child actor in Stand By Me. He’s also had notable roles in shows like Sliders and Crossing Jordan, as well as films like Scream 2, Joe’s Apartment, Jerry Maguire, and Kangaroo Jack.

Back in 2021, O’Connell joined The Talk as a permanent co-host, filling in for Sharon Osbourne. He would also go on to perform hosting duties for Pictionary and The Real Love Boat, the latter of which he co-hosted with his wife,...

On a recent episode of ABC’s 911, Bold and the Beautiful alum Jennifer Finnigan guest starred with a familiar face—her real-life husband, Jonathan Silverman. They have been together for 20 years and married for roughly 17 years. So, it was a lot of fun to see them play a contentious couple on the hit Ryan Murphy series that moved from Fox to ABC this season.

Divorce 2024 Style

What was fun about this particular guest star appearance was knowing that Finnigan and Silverman were married in real life. In the episode of 911 titled “Confessions,” they were a husband and wife negotiating a tricky divorce. And, of course, it was messy, toxic, and chaotic.

Silverman’s character had hooked up with his attorney. On top of that, every time he sneezed, Finnigan’s character knew he was lying. That was his big tell. Unfortunately, for the husband, that would be his undoing.

Agatha All Along proved early on it's unlike other shows in the MCU. One scene in the first episode challenged a Disney taboo.

Agatha All Along has almost finished its run, but its dark themes and engaging characters created a cult following. Kathryn Hahn previously asserted the show wouldn't get a second season, but Agatha could still return in another MCU show or film. Her ruthlessness and shamelessness make her a formidable villain, even a Big Bad like Dormammu, Hela, or Dar-Benn. Hahn told the Jennifer Hudson Show she proved her commitment to the role with one risqu moment in the first episode. Hahn broke down that sequence, revealing its description in the screenplay was different from what they filmed for the episode.

But it is her personal life that draws the most attention even though she likes to keep things private.

Jill Hennessy's exit from Law & Order as Claire Kincaid was due to a fear of being typecast after three seasons. Kincaid's shocking death in a car accident on the show impacted characters long after she left, especially Briscoe. Hennessy has since diversified her acting roles in movies and TV, including starring in Crossing Jordan and creating The Acting Class.

Here's Claire Kincaid's shocking exit from Law & Order explained. The original series of Law & Order arrived in 1990 and would spawn a robust franchise that runs to this day. The show is a procedural with a unique structure, with the first half of a typical episode following detectives investigating a case and arresting a suspect. The second half then follows efforts by the District Attorney's office to prosecute said suspects for their crimes. Law & Order came to an end in 2010 after 20 seasons and a staggering 456 episodes.

Sony Pictures Television is shuttering its TriStar TV banner.

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that TriStar TV exec vp Jennifer Turner and senior vp development Nicole Norwood are leaving as the division is being folded into the larger Sony TV fold. No additional layoffs are expected to come as part of the move.

Reps for Sony declined comment.

The decision to absorb TriStar TV into the larger Sony Pictures Television fold comes at a time of industry-wide consolidation as streamers, networks and studios alike right-size their programming and staffing needs in an era of belt-tightening following the end of the Peak TV phenomenon.

TriStar TV’s mission was to champion diverse, authentic characters and underrepresented voices. Those values have since been incorporated into the larger studio, overseen by Katherine Pope, to whom Turner reported. Sony Pictures Television Studios’ drama department will now oversee the development of current TriStar TV projects.

A new “Heroes” reboot series is in development from creator Tim Kring, Variety has confirmed.

The reboot, titled “Heroes: Eclipsed,” is set years after the events of the original superhero series, as new evolved humans are discovering their powers. Kring is executive producing “Heroes: Eclipsed” with his manager, Mosaic’s Jordan Cerf. Casting has yet to be announced.

“Heroes” ran for four seasons on NBC from 2006 to 2010, and starred Hayden Panettiere, Jack Coleman, Milo Ventimiglia, Masi Oka, Zachary Quinto, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Ali Larter, Adrian Pasdar and Greg Grunberg. Kring then worked on the 2015 limited series “Heroes Reborn,” with Coleman reprising his role as Noah Bennet. Zachary Levi, Robbie Kay, Kiki Sukezane, Ryan Guzman, Rya Kihlstedt and Judith Shekoni also starred in “Heroes Reborn.”

Gary Graham, who starred as the human detective who partners with an extraterrestrial newcomer to solve crimes on the Fox sci-fi television franchise Alien Nation, has died. He was 73.

Graham died Monday of cardiac arrest at a hospital in Spokane, Washington, his wife of nearly 25 years, Becky Graham, told The Hollywood Reporter.

In the Star Trek universe, Graham played the Ocampan community leader Tanis on Star Trek: Voyager in 1995; recurred as Ambassador Soval, a Vulcan ambassador to Earth, on Star Trek: Enterprise, from 2001-05; and portrayed the first officer Ragnar in Star Trek: Of Gods and Men (2007) and Star Trek: Renegades from 2015-17.

Graham also stood out as a sleazy dealer of porn films in the Paul Schrader thriller Hardcore (1979), starring George C. Scott, and he was the older brother of Tom Cruise’s character in Michael Chapman’s All the Right Moves (1983).

Heroes was a surprising show in the early 2000s from producer Tim Kring for both its genre content and serialization. The character of Claire Bennet was integral to the story, but she wasn't a damsel in distress and was instead striving for autonomy. Her first heroic "mission" involved protecting the women in her school from an all-too common kind of predator.

This article discusses scenes of sexual assault and intimate partner violence.

Two years before Iron Man would vault ensemble superhero universes into the highest echelons of pop culture, a television show on NBC tried to assemble its own Avengers. Created by Tim Kring, Heroes was a broadcast television drama that was ahead of its time in a lot of ways. One example of how the show didn't fall into the common tropey traps of mid-oughts TV and genre stories is in general is the importance of high-school cheerleader hero,...

The movie follows Justin Kemp, played by Nicholas Hoult, who while serving as a juror in a high-profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma — one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict–or free–the wrong killer.

There are a handful of shows in the history of television that make an impact so large that it shapes TV for decades. Mash, Cheers, Babylon 5, and Buffy are a few that come to mind. But one the most memorable, was a series about people stranded on a desert island no, not Gilligan’s island and no, I am not talking about survivor either.It was of course Lost. This series was not a silly TV show, it was a game-changer. It wasn’t focused on storylines but rather a perfect combination of characters and mysteries. Lost is one of those series that still sparks strong emotions from people. Many people love it or hate it. But is the hate for this show misplaced? Is it really that bad or could Lost be one of the greatest TV shows of all time? Let’s explore the Island in this...

Perhaps you’ve heard but it’s been a very Suits summer.

Despite airing its final episode in September 2019, USA Network’s legal procedural Suits has been the talk of the streaming world ever since its first eight seasons arrived to Netflix on June 17. All nine seasons have been streaming on Peacock for far longer but Netflix, as the biggest streaming service, tends to drive the most attention. Per Nielsen, Suits has already broken its own streaming record with 3.7 billion minutes viewed the first week of July and viewership intensity doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.

The potential reasons for Suits‘ surge in popularity are manyfold. While the dual WGA and Sga strikes shouldn’t have led to an extended pause in summer content in theory, some studios have juggled their schedules a bit to weather the storm for the fall season. Additionally, Suits‘ basic cable format...

Mark Margolis, the actor best known for playing Hector "Tio" Salamanca on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, has died.

According to reports, the star passed away Thursday at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City following a short illness.

He was 83.

"He was one of a kind," said manager Robert Kolker of Red Letter Entertainment, according to Deadline.

"We won't see his likes again. He was a treasured client and a lifelong friend. I was lucky to know him."

Margolis' television career kicked off with a role on Guiding Light, but he went on to appear in countless projects.

The Equalizer, Oz, Kings, and FX's American Horror Story: Asylum, Crossing Jordan, Californication, Person of Interest, Gotham, and The Affair are just some of the shows he appeared in.

He most recently played Carmine Conti on Showtime's Your Honor, which recently wrapped its two-season run on the premium cabler.

Mark Margolis, a veteran actor with hundreds of credits dating back to the 1970s but perhaps best known for his Emmy-nominated portrayal of cartel don Hector “Tio” Salamanca on TV’s Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, died Thursday at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City following a short illness. He was 83.

His death was announced by son Morgan Margolis, the CEO of Knitting Factory Entertainment. Morgan Margolis said he and Mark’s wife Jacqueline were at his bedside at the time of death.

“He was one of a kind,” said manager Robert Kolker of Red Letter Entertainment. “We won’t see his likes again. He was a treasured client and a lifelong friend. I was lucky to know him.”

Born on November 26, 1939 in Philadelphia, Margolis briefly attended Temple University before moving to New York City to study acting, first under Stella Adler at the Actors Studio and subsequently...

We’re sad to report that beloved actor Mark Margolis died at 83 on Thursday. He is known for his show-stopping roles in movies like Scarface and Darren Aronofsky’s Pi, Requiem For A Dream, and The Fountain. On the television side of the industry, Margolis’ credits are incredibly impressive, covering an expansive spectrum of memorable roles and one-off characters. A valuable film, television, and stage player, he’s best known for his break-out role of Alberto “The Shadow” in Scarface and recently as the character Hector “Tio” Salamanca in the TV series Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

Margolis passed away August 3, 2023, at Mt. Sinai Hospital in his beloved and longtime home of New York City, with his wife Jacqueline and Morgan at his bedside, following a short illness.

“He was one of a kind. We won’t see his likes again. He was a treasured client and a lifelong friend.

Mark Margolis, who portrayed the menacing, bell-ringing Hector Salamanca in “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul,” died Thursday at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City. He was 83.

His son, Morgan Margolis, announced the news.

As the former drug kingpin who continues to hover over the Albuquerque meth trade from his nursing home, Margolis left an unforgettable mark on the Vince Gilligan television universe with barely any dialogue. In 2012, he was nominated for an Emmy for his performance in “Breaking Bad.”

He returned as Hector “Tío” Salamanca for five seasons in the Bob Odenkirk-led prequel series “Better Call Saul,” where he infused a rich backstory into the character.

Born in 1939 in Philadelphia, Margolis moved to New York at a young age to pursue acting. With an early interest in theater, he landed roles in productions such as “Infidel Caesar” on Broadway. He would go on to appear in more than 50 Off-Broadway plays,...

The cast of Apple TV+’s “Platonic” was all smiles and laughs as they celebrated the premiere of their rom-com, but the Wednesday night carpet was clouded by Hollywood’s ongoing writers strike.

Some of the show’s stars including longtime friends Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, and Carla Gallo revealed their thoughts on the face off between the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers while walking the green carpet outside of Regal LA Live theater in downtown Los Angeles.

“I’m personally distressed by not having any sense of how successful these shows and movies we make for streaming services are,” said Rogen. “The secretiveness only makes me think that they’re making way more money off of all of us than they want to share with anybody. These executives are making insane salaries that you would only make if you are running an incredibly profitable business.

Part of what makes the modern classic ABC sci-fi mystery drama "Lost" so unclassifiable is its resistance to genre categorization. Because the show was a network drama in the early 2000s, its early seasons ran over 20 episodes, and even its shorter back half seasons went fairly long too. Those viewers who are used to the modern HBO/Netflix/streamer-of-your-choice model of rarely hitting 10 episodes for a season of genre television may be overwhelmed by the embarrassment of riches promised by a season of "Lost."

For a show about plane crash survivors on a magical island, it often found intriguing detours and tangents, using a flashback device to tell new stories about a given character's past, with some striking a comedic tone, some scary, some deeply tragic. By the middle of the show's third season, in fact, that device was becoming a burden – even co-showrunner Damon Lindelof was getting bothered by...

Mark Strong (1917), Jade Anouka (His Dark Materials), and Chris Mason (Broadchurch) have been added to the cast of the the HBO Max series Dune: The Sisterhood (which is a prequel to the Dune feature films), joining previously announced cast members Emily Watson (Punch Drunk Love), Shirley Henderson (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), Indira Varma (Obi-Wan), Shalom Brune-Franklin (The Tourist), Sarah-Sofie Boussnina (The Colony), Faoileann Cunningham (The Northman), Aoife Hinds (Normal People), Chloe Lea (Foundation), and Travis Fimmel (Raised by Wolves).

Michael B. Jordan has gone from child star to teenage heartthrob to Hollywood heavyweight before our eyes. An immensely talented actor who had his breakthrough in 2013's "Fruitvale Station," Jordan is one of the most in-demand actors working today. A favorite among cinephiles, Jordan has been recognized by critics groups around the world; he also received a Screen Actors Guild Award for his turn as the unrelenting yet sympathetic villain Killmonger in "Black Panther," which he shared with the rest of the film's cast.

But Jordan does more than just act. He produced 2019's "Just Mercy," and he's set to make his directorial debut with 2023's "Creed III." In fact, his turn as Apollo Creed's son, Donnie, helped solidify him as a bonafide star — we can't wait to see what he does behind the camera. Before "Creed III" hits theaters, here are the 12 best Michael B. Jordan movies, ranked from worst to best.

All of the cast members announced for the HBO Max series Dune: The Sisterhood (which is a prequel to the Dune feature films) up to this point have been for female roles – which makes sense, since the show is going to be about “a mysterious order of women”.

John Oliver was left in hysterics after Stephen Colbert joked that Liz Truss was responsible for “killing the Queen” with her notoriously bad curtsy.

The Tory leader met Queen Elizabeth II on 6 September as one of her first acts as prime minister, during which she was pictured awkwardly curtsying for the monarch.

Two days later, the Queen died at Balmoral, with her funeral taking place on 19 September.

On Monday (7 November), British comedian Oliver was a guest on The Late Show, when Colbert asked him about the UK’s rapid recent run of prime ministers.

Colbert asked him for information about Rishi Sunak, who Oliver said was “wealthy beyond any real realistic expectation”.

“How’s his curtsy?” Colbert asked. “Because I don’t know if you saw Liz Truss’s curtsy, but it killed the queen. Her curtsy killed the queen.”

Oliver burst out in a fit of laughter and banged on the desk in hysterics.

In NBA 2K23, Locker Codes are redeemable phrases that provide players with in-game rewards for free, a feature prevalent throughout the series and continuing in November 2022. A significant focus in NBA 2K23 revolves around gaining cards of superstar basketball athletes in myTeam modes for a unique roster that dominates either online or offline through the court. Additionally, Locker Codes allow players to increase the size of their collection without the somewhat tedious grind that can plague the later stages of NBA 2K23. The introduction of Locker Codes from NBA 2K13 has seen continual monthly updates to these special earnings, bringing a constant incentive for players to utilize this system.

As of November 2022, only one Locker Code is available this month, tied to Halloween-related card packs in NBA 2K23. Following NBA 2K23's available Locker Codes for October, this code may only be redeemed within a certain amount of time before expiring.

One of the co-hosts of the new CBS reality dating show The Real Love Boat is Jerry O'Connell, who has had a long career as an actor before becoming a reality television host. The Real Love Boat is the newest CBS reality show and is part of the network's new reality block on Wednesday nights, airing between CBS mainstays Survivor and The Amazing Race. The show, named after the classic 1970s series The Love Boat, is similar in format to several reality dating shows, the key difference being that it takes place on a cruise ship that makes stops at many romantic locations in Europe. O'Connell co-hosts the series with his wife, model and actress Rebecca Romijn.

Seal Team‘s sixth season may have just started, but after that wild premiere, we need more — and we should be at least getting a movie. Paramount+ announced in February that it would be expanding the military drama’s universe with a stand-alone film, from the series creative team of David Boreanaz, Christopher Chulack, and Spencer Hudnut. So, when we caught up with Hudnut recently, we tried to find out more about it as what the future holds for Seal Team. Plus, get a tease for how the current season ends and more. Can you say anything about the movie? Spencer Hudnut: Not really at the moment. We just wrapped Season 6 a week ago in Jordan. So we’re just kind of focused on having a great launch of this and hopefully giving the fans a great season. And then after that, movie, Season 7, there’s a lot more stories...

So, it’s one of the last Summer weekends as the time for vacation getaways dwindles down to less than a month. And the same goes for the virtual trips at your local multiplex, where we get to look in on a group of old friends who have gathered at a lush spot to chat about the past, plan for the future, eat, drink and be merry thanks to some “substances” and some “party games”. So, could this be a modern-day spin on The Big Chill (minus the opening funeral) with scandals and secret “hook-ups”? Or does it take a dark turn into And Then There Were None territory with an Agatha Christie-style “whodunit” and,more importantly, “who’s next”? That’s just what the characters in this week’s ensemble thriller have to ponder while having to step around and try not to join the Bodies Bodies Bodies.

“Well, Jordan and I will look at a map and then try to figure out where the show will pay for us to go that we really want to go,” says Ian Berger. He’s a supervising producer and segment director for “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” and the co-executive producer, co-writer, and director of “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers The Globe – Hungary for Democracy.” It’s not hard to see why they picked Hungary as their destination; it has become American conservatives’ model for how to roll back democracy here at home. Watch out exclusive video interview above.

“I started finding articles about this connection between the American conservative party and their interest in Hungary,” Berger explains. At first he didn’t think much of it, but “then I found out this young Republicans group endorsed [Hungarian president] Viktor Orban, which sounded weird. And then...

The Cannes Film Festival’s iconic red carpet played host to a rare form of protest on Sunday, as a feminist collective unleashed smoke bombs and unrolled a list of murdered women just before the world premiere of Ali Abbasi’s serial-killer drama “Holy Spider.” And if the demonstration’s cause was only too just, its context was all too uncommon, since these protesters were seemingly there to support, not oppose, Abbasi’s violent and disturbing film.

To follow up his Un Certain Regard-winning “Border,” the Iran-born Denmark-based director has burrowed into a chilling bit of true-crime from his native country, reimagining the 2001 case of a religious fanatic who slaughtered 16 young women and using that premise to explore systemic misogyny writ large. He does so by turning the murder thriller upside down, telling a story where the killer’s identify is never in doubt and his intentions are always crystal clear,...
