WARNING: Season 4, Episode 4 spoilers ahead
The fourth episode of “The Boys” Season 4 has landed, and it's already being regarded as the best of the season so far. With a stellar 9.1 star rating on IMDb, the episode titled “Wisdom of the Ages” has fans buzzing about its shocking twists and turns. The episode centers around Vought's new show "Truth Bomb" hosted by the supe Firecracker (Valorie Curry). While the Boys attempt to blackmail Firecracker, she outmaneuvers them by leaking the details herself. Having turned the tables, she then calls out Starlight (Erin Moriarty) with another shocking allegation.
Meanwhile, A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) goes snooping around Homelander’s apartment, snatching a vial of Compound V and coming face-to-face with Ashley (Colby Minifie), who’s also doing some creeping of her own. Both are putting themselves at considerable risk, as Homelander (Antony Starr) has been on a rampage killing Vought employees.
One of the more gripping storylines involves Butcher's (Karl Urban) deteriorating health condition. With a mysterious worm-like creature burrowing into his brain, speculation is rife that his previous use of Compound V has given rise to a sentient illness. The parallels to the animated "Diabolical" spin-off series could hint at darker consequences ahead.
Meanwhile, the supe-killing virus fans first saw in “Gen V” raises concerns about its potential impact on newly powered characters like Hughie's father (Simon Pegg). If released, the virus may strip their abilities or lead to fatal outcomes. The episode's closing moments suggest Hughie's mother slips his father Compound V after Hughie gets cold feet.
As of this writing, “Wisdom of the Ages” is the third-highest rated episode of the series on IMDb. The top-rated episode is Season 3’s “Herogasm” at 9.6/10, followed by the Season 2 finale “What I Know” at 9.4. The high rating for the mid-season episode is a good sign for the season’s progression, as the first three episodes’ average of 7.6 was well below the overall series average of 8.7.

Conan O’Brien Reflects on ‘Hot Ones’ Appearance: ‘Many of My Friends Went Online and Thought I Died’
Back in April, Conan O’Brien took the internet by storm with his unhinged appearance on “Hot Ones” with host Sean Evans, where he faced down the wings of death with brash abandon.
“Many of my friends went online and thought I died,” O’Brien said recently for a profile in The New York Times.
Dousing extra hot sauce on already blazing wings, O’Brien licked and chewed like a beast, mocking the conceit of the popular talk show while at the same time visibly struggling with the effects of the heat.
“My father, who I love, once said that if you agonize enough — he used the word ‘agonize,’ I’ll never forget — if you agonize long enough, eventually ideas will come,” said O’Brien, drawing a link not only to his willingness to cause physical harm to himself for a laugh in this instance, but over his entire career in general and even further back.

Jamie Kellner, who made his name as the only exec ever to create two broadcast networks — Fox and The WB (both of which also achieved profitability under his watch), died Friday at his home in Montecito, Calif. He was 77. Kellner had a tremendous impact on the television business in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s, and was considered an entrepreneur at heart as he built Fox and The WB, and then independently created the Acme Communications stations group, and for a time ran Turner Broadcasting as chairman and CEO (succeeding Ted Turner).

A big reason FX’s “The Bear” has blown up in the way that it has is for how the show connects us to each character and even the actors and actresses who play them, many of whom have been working for a long time, but are only getting their due now. One such presence on the show is Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who plays Richie, but has also been seen in films like “The Royal Tenenbaums” and television shows like “Girls.” In a recent interview with The Guardian, Moss-Bachrach shared his feelings on the overnight success of the series and how his newfound fame has started to affect him in daily life.
“I was on top of a little mountain outside Kyoto and a Korean couple came up to me and were saying how much they love the show,” he said. “I get a lot of comments. People yell ‘Cousin!’ at me all day.

Yellowstone‘s future is looking more clear now that we know for sure Kevin Costner won’t be returning, but it’s a disappointing future knowing that the main character won’t be back for the final episodes. Yellowstone tracks the Dutton family, a family of ranchers who have been overseeing their family ranch for generations. John Dutton (Costner) is the latest family patriarch fighting to keep the ranch running and protect the land from modern capitalistic forces. The threat came home in Season 5 Part 1, which aired in 2022 on Paramount Network, when John and daughter Beth (Kelly Reilly) prepared to square off with son Jamie (Wes Bentley) after he went ahead with his efforts to remove John from the governorship, a “declaration of war,” as Beth called it. Now, that war will be waged without John. (Or could he perish because of it?) Paramount announced in May 2023 that Yellowstone would...

Before Jake Lacy graduated drama school, he had to make a huge decision: picking his stage name. Born Jameson Griffin Lacy, he planned on using his given moniker throughout his career. But, after seeing his decision, his dean questioned him: “Who is this Jameson? You’re the most Jake person I know!”
Lacy, who plays Troy Delaney on potential Emmy nominee “Apples Never Fall,” said on an episode of the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast that he thinks plenty of actors are pigeon holed in the industry, but he can chameleon around and play a multitude of characters: “I’ve never been a star.

Even though Jodie Foster worked with multi-take director David Fincher on “Panic Room,” that doesn’t mean she necessarily enjoys that kind of process. Speaking with Jodie Comer for Interview magazine, Foster admitted that she tends not to get too in her own head about acting and, at one point in her career, would even insulate herself from her co-stars.
“I’ve always made movies by myself, where it was just about my character, and I didn’t have to deal with the other actors,” Foster said. “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to understand that was selfish of me, jealously guarding something that I didn’t want to share. Now I’m learning to enter in and say, ‘How are we together and dynamic?’ Instead of it all being about me. It has been so interesting, because now I meet all these actors that do everything differently.

Thirty years ago, General Hospital‘s creative team – at the time, Wendy Riche, executive producer, and head writer Claire Labine – brought the Nurses’ Ball to daytime TV. Hosted by Lucy Coe, played by Lynn Herring, the event brought citizens of Port Charles together as they lent their impressive musical talents to a worthy cause. Other daytime dramas had addressed the issue of AIDS/HIV before, starting with nurse Noreen Donovan (Marilyn McIntyre) on Loving, but General Hospital told an ongoing story with the Nurses’ Ball. A year after the first Nurses’ Ball in 1994, the show took Robin and Stone’s love story in a powerful direction when Stone (Michael Sutton) died from AIDS, and Robin (Kimberly McCullough) was diagnosed as HIV-positive. TV Insider chatted with Scott Barton, the show’s former publicist, who had previously worked with Elizabeth Taylor (ex-Helena Cassadine) in 1985 on the Commitment to Life fundraiser for AIDS...

Should his NCIS character die, Wilmer Valderrama wants to go out in a blaze of glory. The actor revealed his idea for NCIS Special Agent Nick Torres’ possible death while speaking at a recent Monte-Carlo Television Festival panel, according to People. “Like Denzel Washington in Training Day — just go out,” Valderrama said, referring to Washington’s corrupt cop, Det. Alonzo Harris, dying in a Russian mafia ambush in the 2001 film. “I think not being the bad guy, of course I’d like to die as a good guy,” Valderrama added. “But defending my family somehow, just in a storm of bullets. I just see a storm of bullets just washing over me, just dying heroically with violins in the background and the rain is pouring.” Mike Coppola/Getty Images Costar Brien Dietzen suggested “some white doves” for that death scene, but Valderrama thought that image seemed “a little too Nicolas Cage.

Critics called the premise “ludicrous,” “idiotic” and “ill-conceived.” With that start, the team of us that launched “Suits” on USA Network never expected the show to become a global phenomenon.
When the series debuted on June 23, 2011, we were nervous about its prospects. A series about a fake lawyer from the network that just brought you Dule Hill in a series about a fake psychic. Seriously?
So how did Suits, in its “third life”, become one of the most-binged series despite the array of options available to viewers? More importantly, what can we learn from its late-stage popularity?

Many of us know Jean Smart for her hilarious, yet touching turn as Deborah Vance on the hit Max comedy “Hacks” or her alluring take on Laurie Blake aka Silk Spectre on HBO’s “Watchmen” television series, but she has been working regularly since the ‘80s with her big break coming on the sitcom “Designing Women.” Despite the steady paycheck provided by the show, Smart said in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter that it wasn’t what she wanted in her career.
“I think I didn’t want to get used to such an easy schedule and money,” Smart said. “By season two, we were working only 30 hours a week! I thought, ‘This is fun, but not why I became an actor.’ So I left and was immediately offered a TV movie role playing Aileen Wuornos, America’s first female serial killer. (Laughs.) I remember asking the producer why he thought of me.

Jess Vestal knows by now that Harry Jowsey is not her Perfect Match, but for much of the Netflix dating show’s second season, she thought the two of them had a chance at a happily-ever-after. “I do think people can change. I don’t know if that was the best example of it, but I do believe that,” Jess told People in a post-finale interview. “I feel like at some point, I’d like to think everyone has to grow up. I’d like to think when someone says they want to settle down, and they want to have a family, and they want to get married, that they mean that. So I just took what he said at face value.” Netflix Jess and Harry broke up for good after filming, and the Season 2 finale revealed that he had lied to her and had, in fact, kissed costar Melinda Berry during the competition.

I knocked on the door, and there he was. He was tall and a very large person, not like many actors and not at all what I expected. He had a huge presence and his voice moved through you, not in a threatening way, but in a way that almost reverberated your energy.

The United States Postal Service is paying tribute to Alex Trebek with a new Forever stamp — but you won’t see the late Jeopardy! host’s face or his famous mustache on the design. Instead, the stamp is formatted like a clue from the long-running syndicated game show. It reads: “This naturalized U.S. citizen hosted the quiz show ‘Jeopardy!’ for 37 seasons.” Underneath, written upside down, the stamp shows the correct response: “Who is Alex Trebek?” The design is fitting: As current Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings recalled in a Time tribute, Trebek always considered the game to be the star of the show, not himself. Usps Each sheet of 20 stamps resembles the game board from the Jeopardy! set, with the categories “Entertainment,” “Game Show Hosts,” “Famous Alexes,” and “Forever Stamps” shown above the stamps and a photo of Trebek to the left of the grid.

Survivor alum Drew Basile is applying that show’s “outwit, outplay, outlast” philosophy to Jeopardy!

Sitting in an office as transparently fake as any late-night talk show set, Julio Torres pitches his idea of Crayola’s next great crayon color: clear. The executives across from him are dubious, even angry at his proposal. “Clear isn’t a color,” one shouts. “If it isn’t a color, what do you call this?” Julio asks, gesturing to absolutely nothing. “Call what?” the suit asks. “The space between us — the emotional space,” Julio says, before waxing poetic (as he has before) about a clear glass of water, clear smells, and the clear memories all around them. “Some things aren’t one of the normal colors,” he says. “They don’t play by the rules of the rainbow. […] To color something clear is to acknowledge that some things are different, and that’s just fine.”

The executives across from him are dubious, even angry at his proposal. “Clear isn’t a color,” one shouts. “If it isn’t a color, what do you call this?” Julio asks, gesturing to absolutely nothing. “Call what?” the suit asks. “The space between us — the emotional space,” Julio says, before waxing poetic (as he has before) about a clear glass of water, clear smells, and the clear memories all around them. “Some things aren’t one of the normal colors,” he says. “They don’t play by the rules of the rainbow. […] To color something clear is to acknowledge that some things are different, and that’s just fine.”

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the Doctor Who Season 1 finale “Empire of Death.”] Well, the good news is we now know who Ruby’s (Millie Gibson) mother is after the Doctor Who Season 1 finale, “Empire of Death.” The more frustrating than bad news? The mystery of Mrs. Flood (Anita Dobson), Ruby’s neighbor who knows about the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and has spoken directly to the camera more than once now, continues.

When it comes to the family at the center of HBO‘s hilarious Danny McBride comedy The Righteous Gemstones, music is a key component to their bond, but how does the distinctive sound of the megachurch-set series come together? Music Supervisor DeVoe Yates and Composer Joseph Stephens are two of the creatives helping to bring the cheery musical numbers and compositions together along with the more epic and holy-sounding tunes set against the show’s more dramatic moments. Season 3 had its fair share of music moments between Uncle Baby Billy’s (Walton Goggins) Bible Bonkers and the introduction of the Montgomery family. Among one of the first performances of the season though was the inclusion of “There’ll Come a Payday,” the old gospel song Billy sings by the pool at Zion’s Landing, the religious resort the Gemstones opened in Season 2. When it came to selecting the song, Yates says,...

In April 2019, New York magazine published “Larry Ray and the Stolen Kids of Sarah Lawrence,” a shocking account of a group of bright college students who fell under the influence of a classmate’s father and did everything he asked of them, no matter how vile — ultimately resulting in his incarceration for sex trafficking, extortion, and conspiracy. As a Sarah Lawrence graduate, director Elisabeth Rohm read the article with intense interest. “It could have happened to me,” she told IndieWire. “I felt so strongly about that.” Rohm immediately saw the potential for a compelling feature film, but it would take several years of script development and untangling of legal issues for the story to finally make it to the screen.
The result was worth the wait. Lifetime’s “Devil on Campus: The Larry Ray Story” is easily one of the best TV movies in years, a tonally complex and expertly...

Apple TV+ brought viewers to Palm Royale earlier this year, making way for a strong ensemble of empowering female characters, among which included Leslie Bibb‘s Dinah Donahue. Becoming Maxine’s (Kristen Wiig) first reluctant friend of the season, Dinah is initially harsh to the newcomer until she helps her access an abortion, a next-to-impossible task in the 1969-set comedy. Realizing she might be able to trust Maxine to an extent, Dinah may be blackmailed into sponsoring Maxine at her ultra-exclusive club, but over time their dynamic transforms into something resembling a friendship. When it came to taking on the role, Bibb says, “There’s this vulnerability underneath her that I was always trying to find. I think that that’s who we all are as people. Nobody’s just an a**hole. There’s a reason we all have some trauma that led us to this point in our lives.

Billy Zane makes his Lifetime movie debut in the network’s new original film Devil on Campus: The Larry Ray Story, premiering June 23. The movie is based on the true story of Larry Ray, an ex-con who moved in with his daughter at Sarah Lawrence College and started a cult that included many of his daughter’s friends. Ray’s crimes were exposed in a New York Magazine article, and he’s since been sentenced to 60 years in federal prison. Zane and director/executive producer Elisabeth Rohm spoke with TV Insider about exploring Ray’s twisted crimes and what happened to his victims. “What I really enjoyed and understood up front why this was absolutely the right place to tell this story was the restraint shown by the platform and the network,” Zane said. “Had it been in the hands of any other streamer, I think it would be too salacious,...

Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini explores the wild tale of Sherri Papini’s 2016 disappearance, her return, and her false kidnapping claims being exposed years later. Her now ex-husband, Keith Papini, tells his side of the story for the first time and reveals how Sherri’s lies affected him and their family. TV Insider spoke with the documentary’s filmmakers, Erin Lee Carr and Michael Beach Nichols, as well as executive producer Allison Berkley about the biggest questions we had after watching the three-episode docuseries. How many times was Sherri contacted about participating in the documentary? Sherri did not participate in the documentary. At the end of the third episode, the filmmakers noted that Sherri was contacted several times, but she never responded. “I was in charge of basically trying to get in contact with Sherri,” Carr told TV Insider. “I really thought I was going to do it.

In Episode 3 of “Presumed Innocent” (“The Discovery”), showrunner David E. Kelley turns the heat on Jake Gyllenhaal’s Rusty Sabitch, Chicago’s slick chief deputy prosecutor suspected of brutally murdering his pregnant mistress and colleague, Carolyn (Renate Reinsve). It kicks off with Rusty receiving the shocking text —”You were there, I saw you” — which places him at the scene of the crime, denies him an alibi, and further points to his guilt.
For editor Philip Neel (Episodes 3 and 6), this was a great entry point for cutting Rusty’s obsession with Carolyn and how it spiraled out of control in a twisted confluence of sex, politics, power, and love. “Nobody writes better courtroom drama than David Kelley,” Neel told IndieWire. “And he made a lot of changes.

“Only Murders in the Building” will be getting even more murder-solvers with a meta twist.
The upcoming fourth season of the beloved Hulu series will star Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, and Eva Longoria as the film adaptation versions of Steve Martin’s Charles, Martin Short’s Oliver, and Selena Gomez’s Mabel, respectively.
Levy, Galifianakis, and Longoria were all previously announced as cast members, but there roles are now confirmed. All actors are playing versions of themselves.
Of course, Levy, Galifianakis, and Longoria are no strangers to TV. Levy led Emmy-winning viral series “Schitts Creek,” while Longoria appeared in the iconically camp ABC drama “Desperate Housewives.” Galifianakis starred alongside Ted Danson in the cult HBO comedy “Bored to Death,” another show that combined elements of comedy and murder mystery.

Host and showrunner Jeff Probst previously told TV Insider that one player from Season 46 is likely getting an invitation to return: Q Burdette, the controversial but entertaining player from the most recent season whose strategy was to sow chaos and take advantage of unrest. “Q is a great example of a player whom we really wanted on the show and we never saw this part of his game at any point during the casting process,” Probst told us. “He’s so unpredictable and so electric and polarizing.

Lady Whistledown would be enjoying every bit of this! After the release of Part 2 of Bridgerton Season 3, fans began speculating that “romantic” and “intimate moments” between Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) were deleted from the final cut. A fan, who dubbed themselves “Lady Whistleblower,” started a Change.org petition and alleged that four specific Polin scenes were nixed, including an “angry kissing scene,” a scene in “in bed together talking about publishing Colin’s manuscripts,” Colin “whispering sweet nothings” to Penelope in front of the mirror, and a “long intimate montage in Episode 8.” The fan claimed that these scenes were viewed by those who had access to episodes in advance. The petition has gotten over 67,000 signatures. It’s unclear where fans got this information from, and two of these scenes were in Season 3. Colin definitely whispered “sweet nothings” to Penelope in front of the mirror in Episode 5, and...

The Star Wars prequels did plenty of wrong (from the dialogue to the pacing), but they got plenty right, too. Arguably the best thing George Lucas came up with for the prequels was the idea of the Jedi Order as a corrupt religious cult, an organization that indoctrinated their members and tied them up in bureaucracy and red tape.
This idea has only grown over time, with titles like The Clone Wars and The Mandalorian adding to the Jedi just being the worst. Now The Acolyte is here to present a brand new era of Star Wars, one that still shares one big thing with the prequels — the Jedi Order still sucks, and it’s always sucked.
