“We have a new slogan this year at ABC ,” Jimmy Kimmel said today as the closing act at the Big 4 network and Freeform’s upfront presentation in New York. “Our new slogan is Forward Together,” the longtime late-night host added before revealing his teeth. “Hillary Clinton had a yard sale, and she let us have that for almost nothing.” Besides also saying “our President is a lunatic, and we are all going to die,” Kimmel kept his promise to go light on Donald Trump and politics and focused his firepower on the fast-changing television business. Following a sugary introduction by ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey and a greatest-hits montage, the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host came out onstage at Lincoln Center’s David Geffen Hall with a dose of reality and one-liners after the network strutted its stuff for nearly an hour in front of advertisers. Swiping at his own bosses with the likes of “somehow we have more people watching this upfront than most of … [Read more...] about Jimmy Kimmel Rips “Stupid Shows”, Slaps Big 4 Nets In Strong Upfronts Return

Who doesn’t miss seeing James Gandolfini onscreen? The Drop , a potent, propulsive crime drama, gives us one more chance to salute the formidable talent of a remarkable actor who died in June 2013 at age 51. Gandolfini is dynamite in his final screen role, as Marv, a small-time crook who runs a Brooklyn dive bar that serves as a money drop for Russian wiseguys. The bartender, Marv’s cousin Bob (a transfixing Tom Hardy), goes along with the scheme until he’s pushed too far. Working from a taut script by Dennis Lehane ( Mystic River ), director Michaël R. Roskam ( Bullhead ) makes every brutal, bracing minute count as Bob takes a stand with the help of a damaged woman (a very fine Noomi Rapace) and a rescued pit bull. Lehane based the script on Animal Rescue , his short story about redemption, not just for the dog but for Bob. Hardy, a British actor of uncommon versatility, from The Dark Knight Rises and Inception to his tour de force in Locke, takes a slowburn approach to … [Read more...] about The Drop

Calling Dr. Mark Greene. Please report to the Broadway stage. ER star Anthony Edwards made his Broadway musical debut Friday night as “Dr. Walker” in the Tony-nominated Girl From The North Country . With several members of the company out of the show because of Covid-19 infections, Edwards stepped in at the last moment (and after only an hour of rehearsal time) to ensure that the show would go on. He starred opposite his wife, Mare Winningham, who was recently nominated for a Tony Award for her role. Lead producer of Girl From The North Country Tristan Baker made a pre-show announcement to express his gratitude to the production’s swings and understudies, and let the house know they were in for an extra special show. Baker asked if “There was a doctor in the house” to play the role of Dr. Walker this evening, before surprising the audience with the news that TV doctor Anthony Edwards would be their special guest star. Edwards was apparently a hit. He was met … [Read more...] about ‘ER’ Star Anthony Edwards Joins Tony-Nominated ‘Girl From The North Country’ On Broadway

You studied the ways of the Force, right?” asked Che. “Ok, relax nerd,” replied Baby Yoda. “You know what an ayahuasca retreat is?” Baby Yoda explained that he basically did that, “but with a bunch of pills and week”—and instead of a spiritual guide walking him through it, his “boy Tom Holland got on the aux cable.” “It sounds like a great time,” said Che. “Just make sure you stay safe, man.” “Nah, don’t tell me what to do,” snapped Baby Yoda. “But … [Read more...] about ‘SNL’s Weekend Update: Baby Yoda Returns To Promote ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’, Talks Up “Spiritual” Awakening
