Yes, “I’m going to freak out!” The future Mr. and Mrs., who are the first lovebirds from the show to embark on life together as husband and wife, revealed their life-changing news during tonight’s inaugural reunion. How did the two — who met during Season 1 of the series when he was a producer on the show and disclosed their romance on the Season 3 premiere to quite the reaction — unveil their news? It began with host Jeannie Mai posing this question to Madisson: “You were very adamant that you wanted to settle down with Ish and start a family. Are you any closer to your dream life?” “I don’t know why don’t you show them,” Ish responded...

The West Wing Cast to Reunite for One-Off HBO Max Special
Be still, my liberal heart. The cast of The West Wing is reuniting after 17 years for a one-off special on HBO Max later this year. Martin Sheen, Bradley Whitford, Allison Janney, Richard Schiff, Rob Lowe, Dulé Hill, and Janel Moloney, along with The West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin, will all come together for a special theatrical stage presentation of the season three episode “Hartsfield’s Landing”. The episode — which sees Josh (Whitford) obsess over the voting results in a small New Hampshire town — is an apt choice given the reason for this reunion. The special serves as a voter awareness campaign benefiting Michelle Obama’s When We All Vote non-profit, with the goal of increasing participation in the upcoming 2020 election. Obama herself will deliver a “special message” d...

MTV is marking National Recovery Month with a brand-new, limited series — and a first look can be seen below. 16 and Recovering, a four-part docu-series premiering on September 1, is a brutally honest wake-up call in the tradition of 16 and Pregnant, which helped reduce teen pregnancy to record lows (National Bureau of Economic Research).

It’s Jeff Daniels’ Comey Vs. Brendan Gleeson’s Trump in Trailer for The Comey Rule: Watch
James Comey (Jeff Daniels) faces off against Donald Trump (Brendan Gleeson) in the new trailer for the Showtime limited series The Comey Rule. The two-episode series premieres on September 27th. Based on Comey’s book A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership, The Comey Rule dramatizes the former FBI director’s attempts to document Russian meddling in the 2016 election, as well as the illegal actions taken by Trump to cover it up. The series is written and directed by Billy Ray, best known for scripts for other based-on-a-true-story tales like Captain Phillips and Richard Jewell, as well as the 2021 Hunger Games prequel. As the trailer reveals, Ray has chosen not to modify Daniel’s appearance, perhaps with the understanding that both he and Comey are generic white guy...

Danbury, Connecticut Renames Sewage Plant in Honor of John Oliver
For the last several years, John Oliver has been in a tiff with the city of Danbury, Connecticut. It’s not entirely clear what prompted his war of words, but on at least two occasions in the last three years, HBO’s Last Week Tonight host has ruthlessly mocked the New York metropolitan suburb. In 2017, he took aim at Danbury for going to absurd lengths in hopes of winning a bid to be Amazon’s headquarters. In a more recent episode, in which he explored racial disparities in the jury selection process of two Connecticut cities, Oliver again singled out Danbury. “If you’re going to forget a town in Connecticut,” Oliver remarked, “why not forget Danbury? Because, and this is true, fuck Danbury!” “I know exactly three things about Danbury,” Oliver added. “USA Today ranked it the ...

He wrote: “OK, I got a little carried away watching #Bbnaija guys. What I said really wasn’t cool, and I acknowledge it so it’s deleted. “Just a little reminder to all of us to remember that even though it’s a show, they’re real people. So make una no vess #BBNa...
Cheers Bar Closing Permanently Due to Coronavirus
The coronavirus pandemic has forced countless businesses to close their doors due to a sudden lack of income. Unfortunately, that list now includes the replica bar from Cheers in Boston, Massachusetts. Cheers sits inside Faneuil Hall Marketplace as an exact replica of the NBC sitcom’s joint. The spinoff location first opened in 2001 to immediate praise and has since become a constant fixture in both the city’s bar scene and its tourism industry. Tom Kershaw, the founder of the Cheers bar, said he tried everything he could to salvage the spot. “I have faced, and pulled through, many kinds of downturns and upticks in the economy within the last 20 years Cheers Replica Bar at Faneuil Hall Marketplace has been in business,” he said in a press release. “Sadly, the COVID-19 pandemic, combin...
