The Challenge‘s Season 37 Champions Won By Just 10 Seconds
After many weeks of gameplay and 30 deactivated agents, only 10 seconds separated the two new Challenge champions and the second-place finalists in a photo finish for the ages. So which Spies, Lies and Allies man and woman came out on top, and which lost out on a huge cash prize by only a hair? The second part of the Season 37 finale picked up with the newly formed Purple and Orange Cells battling for first-place finishes. TJ warned the remaining eight finalists that whichever team completed the first day in second place would face a penalty, and after free dives that left Nelson breathless, marches up mountainsides with huge missiles and beans-in-a-can dinners that preceded a sleepover in a cave, Orange Cell — which struggled to keep up — discovered just how punitive the consequence would...
Jeff Garlin Pushed Out of The Goldbergs Following Multiple HR Investigations
Jeff Garlin is exiting the long-running sitcom The Goldbergs following multiple HR investigations into his on-set behavior. The 59-year-old comedian has been accused of creating a hostile and demeaning work environment, with one anonymous source saying, “He is extremely verbally and emotionally abusive.” Deadline reports that the decision is mutual, and that he will stay long enough to wrap his final scenes of Season Nine. The Goldbergs is one of ABC’s highest-rated comedy series, and no decision has been made about Season 10. Garlin addressed the complaints against him in an interview with Vanity Fair two weeks ago, acknowledging that he’d been the subject of HR investigations for three consecutive years. “I have my process about how I’m funny, in terms ...
Ben Stiller Directs Adam Scott in Trailer for Apple TV+ Thriller Series Severance: Watch
Work-life balance gets cut off at in the head in the new teaser trailer for Apple TV+’s Severance. Coming from first-time creator Dan Erickson, the sci-fi thriller series is directed and executive produced by Ben Stiller. (Stiller helmed six of Season 1’s nine episodes, with Aoife McArdle handling the rest.) The show centers on Adam Scott’s Mark Scout, head of a team at Lumon Industries. What exactly the company does might not be as important as how they do it: Using an invasive surgical procedure called “severance,” employees willingly have their memories split between work and home. When they’re at work, they don’t remember their personal lives, and vice versa. As the official synopsis puts it, “This daring experiment in ‘work-life balance’ is called into question as Mark finds himself a...
Catfish: The TV Show To Return — And It’s ‘Going Global’
Catfish is “going global” in the new year. MTV announced Catfish: The TV Show will return on January 5 — and for the first time, it will be an international evening of fishy internet scams. Viewers in the United States will be able to catch Season 1 of Catfish UK: The TV Show immediately following the U.S. version. As the first look below reveals, it’s “all-new lures, all-new pond”! First, on Catfish: The TV Show, Nev Schulman and Kamie Crawford are “getting to work.” In the final days of quarantine, the catfish are extra crafty, but they’re no match for the dynamic duo’s spectacular sleuthing. As restrictions eventually begin to lift, Nev and Kamie log out of Zoom and head back on the road again. Binoculars included. Then it̵...
Battle Royale: Can The Kings’ Palace Competitors Win The Challenge?
For the many championships The Challenge has awarded over the years, Laterrian, Teck, Melinda and Nehemiah collectively boast only one (three of them have yet to even see a final). But on The Challenge: All Stars Season 2, they’re proving to be a huge threat as a united front. So now that The Kings’ Palace has secured its plot in the game, can these four take less-than-majestic pasts and turn them into long-awaited crowning achievements? On the latest episode, as the foursome watched players like Brad, Jodi and Darrell maintain command over the game, Teck, Nehemiah and Laterrian made a pact to stay connected through the competition’s twists and turns, even if it meant going to battle with its toughest players. “This is the Kings’ Palace, and we’re going to preserve it and save the palace,”...
MacGruber’s Jorma Taccone and John Solomon on the Influence of Walker, Texas Ranger and Who Ruined Takes on Set
From Saturday Night Live sketch to Pepsi commercials to cult classic film to now an original series, one thing remains true about MacGruber — he just can’t be stopped. The fan-favorite character played by Will Forte, created from a grab-bag of ’80s action movies cliches, continues his journey of throat-ripping and dick-punching on Peacock in eight episodes that, according to director Jorma Taccone, held nothing back. In fact, in a Zoom interview with Consequence, Taccone said that there was nothing he, Forte, and co-creator John Solomon felt was too ridiculous to include in the series. “There was nothing that we were told no about, and there was nothing that the three of us looked at each other like, ‘We shouldn’t do this.’” As Taccone explained, the only time they were ever told “no...
How MTV Floribama Shore‘s Candace Is Giving Back This Holiday Season
When Candace Rice isn’t vacationing with her MTV Floribama Shore family, the proud Memphis native is giving back to her local community. This holiday season, the founder of the nonprofit Rice Foundation is partnering with The CB Seed Foundation and founder/actress Carrie Bernans to surprise kids from low-income zip codes with shopping sprees (with help from Target) and financial literacy boot camp. The goal of the 4th Annual Operation Christmas Giveback: helping 150 children, which may be the biggest shopping spree giveaway the city has ever seen. “Reaching our goal means seeing the hope in the eyes of children who may not have had the opportunity to believe in a man bringing them presents or to associate the holidays with big meals,” Candace told MTV News. “Most of...

The Succession Season 3 Finale Confirmed Why the HBO Series Is One of TV’s Most Fascinating Dramas
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers through the Season 3 finale of Succession, “All the Bells Say.”] One of the elements which stood out the most about Season 3 of Succession was location: specifically, a shift to the sun-dappled splendor that is rural Tuscany, site of both Lady Caroline Collingwood’s (Harriet Walter) wedding and her betrayal of her children. While the HBO series has always been aesthetically lush, with an emphasis on the elegant homes and offices in which the Roys seem born to dwell in, having some of the series’ most ugly behavior to date take place in such a beautiful place seems like the ultimate distillation of the show as a whole. The finale once again featured the Roy children coming after control of the company, this time in an effort to prevent tech mo...
Peloton Enlists Chris Noth and Ryan Reynolds for And Just Like That… Response Ad
Earlier this week, shares of Peloton dropped 11% following the premiere of HBO’s Sex and the City sequel series, And Just Like That… ***Spoiler*** In the final scene of the episode, Mr. Big (played by Chris Noth) dies of a heart attack after a 45-minute Peloton ride. The fitness company said it had approved the show’s use of the bike and an appearance by one of its instructors (Jess King), but was unaware of the storyline involving Mr. Big’s death. Now, in a clever bid to turn the publicity into a positive, Peloton has enlisted Noth himself to star in a commercial narrated by Ryan Reynolds. The ad finds North on a romantic getaway with the aforementioned Peloton instructor Jess King. “To new beginnings,” he tells her before glancing towards a pair of Pelotons. “Should we take ano...
Billie Eilish Hosts SNL: The Six Best Sketches
Billie Eilish went through a minor but impressive pop-culture rite of passage this weekend on Saturday Night Live: After appearing as musical guest in September 2019, she returned to the show for double duty, hosting and serving as musical guest. This isn’t exclusively the specialty of young, female pop stars—Justin Timberlake has famously done it, as have Mick Jagger, Paul Simon, and a bunch of others—but it does feel like a particular proving ground for that demo, especially in the past decade-plus. Double-duty gals have included Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, and Miley Cyrus, who (like Britney) has done a double-double, with two separate host/guest stints. (Cyrus must have been on hand to advise Eilish; she actually appeared in a sketch before Eilish herself did...
