Conan O’Brien Stole the Show at the 2021 Emmy Awards: Watch
If there was one MVP at the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday night, it was undoubtedly Conan O’Brien. While the talk show legend’s eponymous TBS late-night show, which aired its series finale in June after 11 seasons, was nominated for Outstanding Variety Talk Series, he didn’t even have to win in order to steal the spotlight throughout the telecast. “Conan is the best part of this show and he hasn’t even been on stage,” one viewer captioned a clip of O’Brien hilariously trolling Television Academy chairman Frank Scherma by standing and saluting throughout his speech. Wanda Sykes simply tweeted, “Conan is giving no F’s tonight!” with a cry-laughing emoji.

Kim Kardashian Says Daughter North Is a “Goth Girl”
Sure, North West might be the child of one of the most high-profile couples of the 2010s, but rest assured that her upbringing is totally normal: She runs around the house with her siblings, she visits her dad Kanye at work, and she goes through fashion phases that she’ll certainly look back on in embarrassment one day. In a recent interview on the final season of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, mom Kim Kardashian said the 8-year-old has officially gone “full goth.” In the interview, Kardashian discussed the varying budding interests of her four children. While her three younger kids — Chicago, Psalm, and Saint — are into more standard preoccupations like Paw Patrol and tiny Birkin bags, the eldest Kardashian-West child is taking an edgier route. “She’s into Hot Topic, and she puts fak...
Can The Floribama Family Leave Behind Their ‘Petty Bullsh*t’?
The MTV Floribama Shore fam has returned to their Southern roots. But is the familiar territory — plus a few farm animals — enough to keep the peace this time around? During tonight’s season premiere, the roommates made their way to Athens, Greece Georgia for a stay at a fancy resort house (resident goats included). The crew opted to cast aside any unresolved issues after COVID and quarantine cut their Lake Havasu vacation short last season. Everyone — even Aimee’s new pet pig, Princess Goddess Piggy Tutor May Massengill Hall Johnson — seemed ready for a fresh start. “We kind of left everything scattered and scrambled, you know, like a Waffle House omelet,” Codi said. “I think this vacation could be a clean slate for everyone.&#...

Giancarlo Esposito to Star in Netflix’s Heist Series Jigsaw
Netflix has been quietly working on a new heist series called Jigsaw — no, it’s not related to the infamous Saw villain — and it looks like they’ve found one of their leading men. Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito has been tapped for the action-drama show, which is a loose adaption of a real-life event when $70 billion in bonds went missing in Manhattan during Hurricane Sandy. According to Deadline, Jigsaw tells the story of the largest heist ever attempted and the revenge, lies, and loyalties that surround it. Each episode of the show will take place at a different point in the heist’s timeline, extending as far back as 24 years before the gig to one year after the heist. Netflix described it as a “nonlinear approach to storytelling in a way where viewers are in control.” Joining the E...
When Allies Attack: What Will Happen To Fessy And Josh On The Challenge?
It started, as a handful of fabled Challenge fallouts before it, with a collection of misplaced pizza slices. And now, former BFFs Josh and Fessy have come to blows. But can they make nice before their Big Brother estate totally goes up in flames, or is this bromance finally broken up for good? Since Fessy tossed the Vet Truce out the window by voting Amber (an alleged part of his Big Brother alliance, no less) into The Lair alongside Hughie, Josh — Amber’s partner — has been reticent to trust his former friend. Josh insisted that Fessy demonstrated total disregard with his vote, and on the latest episode of MTV’s competition series, he said Fessy could choose to apologize or suffer the consequences. “He does what’s best for Fessy…[but] we deal with all the backlash,” Josh lamented to Fess...
Netflix Offers a Kid-Sized Companion to Kevin Smith with He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Review
The Pitch: In the realm of Eternos, in which high technology and magic exist hand-in-hand, prince Adam (Yuri Lowenthal) lives as a villager on the outskirts of his society, with no memory of who he is and the destiny he is to fulfill. But when he runs across a thief named Teela (Kimberly Brooks), who’s just betrayed the villains who hired her to steal a mysterious, powerful sword, he soon learns the sword grants him the Power of Grayskull, a heaping helping of muscles, and the incredible powers of He-Man.

Norm Macdonald Tributes: Adam Sandler, Conan O’Brien, & More Honor Comedian
As news of the death of actor and comedian Norm Macdonald at 61 years old reverberates throughout Hollywood, countless tributes have poured in from fellow comedians and actors. “Every one of us loved Norm,” remembered Macdonald’s Saturday Night Live castmate Adam Sandler. “Some of the hardest laughs of my life with this man.

Love u pal.” “I am absolutely devastated about Norm Macdonald,” said Conan O’Brien. “Norm had the most unique comedic voice I have ever encountered and he was so relentlessly and uncompromisingly funny. I will never laugh that hard again. I’m so sad for all of us today.” Advertisement Related Video “In every important way, in the world of stand-up, Norm was the best,” former Lat...
Norm Macdonald’s 5 Most Memorable Moments
No one did comedy like the late Norm Macdonald, because no one understood comedy like Norm Macdonald. He was a stand-up not just first and foremost, but in his entirety. Hollywood often balked at his ability to headline a movie or TV series, and that was likely just fine with him — his craft was the joke, not “acting.” “There’s a craft to comedy that’s not an art,” he told Larry King in 2018. “Because the craft is this: You have to make the audience make a specific noise at a specific time all together. Art is open to interpretation; stand-up comedy is not. You must get the exact same — it could be silence, it could be anger, it could be anything — but you have to have that same noise from every single person in the audience. If it’s mixed, you’re dead.” That idea that the comic had to eli...
R.I.P. Norm Macdonald, Beloved Comedian Dead at 61
Norm Macdonald, the beloved comedian and former Saturday Night Live cast member, has died at the age of 61 following a nine-year private battle with cancer. “He never wanted the diagnosis to affect the way the audience or any of his loved ones saw him. Norm was a pure comic,” Macdonald’s friend and producing partner, Lori Jo Hoekstra said in a September 14th statement announcing his death (via Deadline). “He once wrote that ‘a joke should catch someone by surprise, it should never pander.’ He certainly never pandered. Norm will be missed terribly.” With a quick wit but painfully slow delivery, Macdonald was known for long walks to bamboozling simple, left-field punchlines. His “Moth” joke, delivered during a 2009 appearance on Conan, is a particularly beloved example of his tension-snappin...

Tommy Lee Is Actually “Cool” with Hulu’s Pam & Tommy Sex Tape Miniseries
Hulu is creating a series titled Pam & Tommy, focusing on the tumultuous relationship between Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee — specifically the events surrounding their infamous sex tape. While it can be assumed that the story is one that the couple wouldn’t necessarily want to be told, Lee is “cool” with the upcoming miniseries. The film stars Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes in the Marvel Universe films) as Lee and Lily James (Downton Abbey, Cinderella) as Anderson. Images shared on social media earlier this year show the two actors looking very much like the real-life former couple they’re portraying. As the story went, Tommy and Pamela got married in Mexico in 1995 after knowing each other for just a few days. A sex tape of their honeymoon was appare...
