Ryan Reynolds Backs LeVar Burton as New Jeopardy! Host
Ryan Reynolds is throwing his support behind LeVar Burton as the new host of Jeopardy! following the ouster of Mike Richards. The actor cryptically addressed the Reading Rainbow icon’s campaign to helm the game show on Twitter by comparing the situation to his role as Deadpool. “Pretty consistently from 2013 to 2015 Deadpool would explode on Twitter with fans wanting me to play him. It was awkward because I agreed with them but the studio didn’t see it. Ultimately the fans won and the rest is glorious history. I’m forever grateful,” he tweeted on Friday before adding a cheeky “Hi @levarburton” at the end.

FX Drops Tense New Trailer for American Crime Story: Impeachment: Watch
“Hi, handsome.” FX unveiled a brand new full-length look on at the upcoming season of American Crime Story: Impeachment. Telling the story of the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, the trailer centers around the friendship between Beanie Feldstein’s Monica Lewinsky and Sarah Paulson as Linda Tripp, with the latter becoming the White House intern’s confidante regarding her secret affair with President Bill Clinton (played by Clive Owen). “I have to admit, you’re a knockout; you must be dating some big D.C. player,” Paulson-as-Tripp says to a coy Lewinsky. “Tell me about him. Someone from work…Someone important?” Advertisement Related Video The trailer then pivots to show Tripp betraying Lewinsky by recording their conversations and turning the tapes over to the FBI. “Monica can never find out,” she ...
8 Actors Who Got Extremely Famous After Their Characters Exited The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead has been on the air so long, it’s hard to believe there was ever a time when it wasn’t. When it premiered in 2010, it singlehandedly revived the zombie genre (and AMC, finally giving them the ratings hit that critical darlings like Mad Men and Breaking Bad struggled to provide). The show, along with Game of Thrones, also ushered in a new era of prestige genre series, where the goofiest sci-fi, fantasy, and horror premises are elevated by feature-quality budgets and large ensembles of Hollywood’s hottest actors. Since its Frank Darabont-produced beginnings, in fact, The Walking Dead has practically acted as a clearinghouse for new, exciting talent. The show, at least in its prime years, delighted in building up a rotating roster of main characters it could kill off (or othe...
2021 Emmy Awards Attendees Need Both Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination and Negative Test
The day after Los Angeles topped 4,000 new COVID-19 cases for the first time since January, the Television Academy announced that everyone attending the 2021 Emmy Awards must provide proof of full vaccination in addition to a negative COVID test. The requirement is stricter than most other live events in the pandemic era, as many venues have mandated one or the other but not both. The Primetime Emmy Awards take place Sunday, September 19th at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT. The audience has been limited to just nominees and a guest, and they will be required to take a COVID test on or after Friday, September 17th. If you’ve been following venue testing closely, you’re probably used to thinking of testing windows as either 72 hours or 48 hours. The maximum testing window for the Emmys would be 6...

New Jeopardy! Host Mike Richards Faces More Scrutiny Over Past Sexist Comments
What is: another scandal for $1000? Mike Richards, the newly-named Jeopardy! host set to replace the late, great Alex Trebek, is facing a new round of backlash over his past comments about women. According to reporting by The Ringer, the comments in question stem from Richards’ own podcast, The Randumb Show, which he hosted from 2013 to 2014 while working as an executive producer on The Price is Right. The TV executive is heard in one particular episode referring to his co-host and former assistant Beth Triffon as a “booth hoe,” “booth slut,” and “boothstitute” during a discussion of her past work as a CES model. In another, he lambasts a photo of his co-host and her female friends, calling them “really frumpy and overweight” and saying, “They all look terrible in the picture…They look fat...

Will Ashley’s Crush On Nelson Blow Up Her Challenge Game?
All is fair in love, war and The Challenge? Not quite the case for Ashley “Millionaire” Mitchell, who admitted on the latest episode of Spies, Lies and Allies that she might just be catching feelings for (gasp!) Nelson. But now that the crush has spilled over into semi-heartbreak (and a consequent blowout with Berna), will Ashley be able to refocus on the game en route to her third potential championship? Ashley, who’s been romantically linked to Jamie, Tony and Kyle across her Challenge career, set her sights on Nelson instead, at the top of Season 37. Ashley said she and Nelson had begun to develop a friendship (with occasional benefits) after becoming neighbors in Texas, and slowly, Ashley (though she admitted such behavior was not in her best interest) began to catch feelings. “I know ...
Larry David “Screamed” at Alan Dershowitz in Martha’s Vineyard Store: “You’re Disgusting!”
A reminder that Larry David wore a MAGA hat on Curb Your Enthusiasm to make an ironic point: The comedian reportedly openly screamed at Alan Dershowitz in public after bumping into him in a store. David and Dershowitz were once pals, both staunchly Democratic, but apparently the Seinfeld creator took issue with the law professor’s involvement in Trump’s first impeachment defense. According to a report by Page Six that was confirmed by Dershowitz himself, the two crossed path at the Chilmark General Store on Martha’s Vineyard. When Dershowitz approached David, the latter tried to walk away, but the former pressed on. “We can still talk, Larry,” Dershowitz reportedly said. “No. No. We really can’t,” replied an increasingly irate David. “I saw you. I saw you with your arm ...
Eminem to Star as White Boy Rick in 50 Cent’s New Show BMF
50 Cent is working on a new TV series called BMF about the legendary Black Mafia Family for Starz. Today, he revealed that Eminem will join the cast as a guest star for arguably the most fitting role of his career: White Boy Rick, the infamous Detroit teenager turned undercover FBI informant. This is Eminem’s first TV part since he played a fictionalized version of himself in Entourage in 2010. He also had a role as himself in Funny People (2009), an uncredited cameo in 2014’s The Interview, and he made a prank phone call for Crank Yankers in 2004. Considering White Boy Rick’s pivotal role in taking down the BMF, this might be Eminem’s meatiest role since 8 Mile. BMF is inspired by the true story of two brothers from southwest Detroit who became one ...
