Warning: This post discusses the events of last night's episode of The Knick, so tread carefully. Variety reports that Cinemax has ordered a premiere script and season outline for the third season of its early-20th-century hospital drama The Knick, which may come as a surprise to some viewers as last night's episode ended with the death of series lead Doctor Thackery (Clive Owen). Variety's report, however, doesn't imply that Cinemax is going to mimic any of that Jon Snow business. Owen told Variety that he only planned to do two seasons of the show, so Thackery will probably stay dead. And while the series itself was initially built for a two-year arc, according to a statement from Cinemax, all-star director Steven Soderbergh and creators Michael Begler and Jack Amiel have been discussing ways to continue the story. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Amiel went into more detail »

One of the most relaxing (until the finale) and adorable reality franchises on TV is losing a judge. TheWrap reports that Graham Elliot is leaving Masterchef and Masterchef Junior at the end of this season. Graham appeared on Masterchef since its debut in 2010 and on the ever-charming Junior since 2013. “I learned so much from the people I got to work with and it has been a true honor to share my love of cooking with the audiences who have allowed me into their homes over the last 6 years,” Elliot said in a statement. “I remain committed to using my passion for cooking as a way to entertain and teach people of all ages, and will be making some exciting announcements about the next steps of that journey in the new year.” Fox will announce a new judge in 2016. »

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler strolled on to the “Saturday Night Live” stage this weekend as if they owned the place. Given how good their installment of “SNL” was, it’d be nice if they actually did — if not now, maybe some day down the road. They’re not just naturals at all things “SNL,” they’re a ridiculous amount of fun to watch together.

Political jabs, a revival of their Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton impressions and a pointed (if brief) dig at Bill Cosby were among the Dec. 19 highlights, as were visits from pals like Amy Schumer and Maya Rudolph. It’s hard to think of any 2015 TV moment that was more joyous than watching Fey, Poehler, musical guest Bruce Springsteen, plus Paul McCartney, the cast of the show and the E Street Band singing “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” just before the credits rolled.

There are some Saturday Night Live hosts — Donald Trump, Paris Hilton, most pro athletes — that make you say “blerg” before they’ve uttered a half-dozen words of their opening monologues.

Others — like this week’s double-threat Amy Poehler-Tina Fey combo — come with far greater expectations.

And while the stars of Sisters got off to a tepid (although by no means terrible) start with their opening monologue — more on that here — it didn’t take long for them to crush it like a mallet bearing down on an aluminum can. Dare I say they »

For the first time in recent weeks, “Saturday Night Live” relied on its own cast and hosts to open a show, rather than surprise cameos.

Hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler reprised their old impressions of Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton, respectively, in a program that made the most of the cast and avoided what has been a recurring technique in recent weeks, when “surprise” guest stars have boosted the show’s opening moments. Just last week, Will Ferrell, an alumni of the program like Fey and Poheler, turned up in the show’s opening moments to revive his famous impression of George W. Bush. In the week prior, Michael Meyers, another famous former cast member, made an appearance during the host’s monologue.

The show’s “cold open” this week made fun of the recent Republican debate televised by CNN, with veteran Darrell Hammond, a former cast member, coming »

The holidays are a time to revel in the company of old, much-missed friends — so what better time for Saturday Night Live grads Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to do a victory lap at their old stomping grounds?

The opening monologue began with the actresses riffing on their long friendship and quickly segued into an original, bipolar Christmas song that had Poehler delivering a boppy pop jam and Fey intoning a somber religious hymm.

As the Democratic Debate got under way tonight in Manchester, New Hampshire, it initially seemed as if former Secretary of State and Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley might agree on more issues than not. And ABC News moderators David Muir and Martha Raddatz moved very quickly early on to address events over the last couple of days involving Sanders and Clinton — the voter data breach involving members of Sanders’ campaign… »
