Nicki Minaj knows Sean “P. Diddy” Combs well, as they’re both massive stars in the hip-hop industry. Diddy had one child with ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton. Fans know he throws huge “Sweet 16” birthday bashes for his kids. Minaj once reflected on how she was Justin Combs’ date for his 16th birthday party. However, her late appearance didn’t impress Diddy. Here’s what she said.
Nicki Minaj once explained that Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs was ‘so mad’ at her for arriving late to his son’s birthday party
Today, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ son, Justin Combs, is 30 years old — and he likely remembers his date to his lavish “Sweet 16” birthday bash. Diddy invited Nicki Minaj to perform at the party. At the time, Minaj was also Justin’s date.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito appeared together in 1988’s buddy comedy movie Twins, produced and directed by Ivan Reitman. The story follows two fraternal twin brothers, streetwise Vincent and intelligent but naïve Julius, who were separated at birth.
The movie, upon its release, was a commercial success, and the audience lauded the performances of the actors. Despite being a commercial success, the movie received mixed reviews from critics. Arnold Schwarzenegger, in an interview, recalls the prank he played on Danny DeVito while they were filming Twins.

Lorne Michaels is an expert at celebrating the legacy of “Saturday Night Live.” The show’s creator has produced variety specials for the NBC program’s 15th anniversary, 25th anniversary and 40th anniversary, so the upcoming 50th season should have a highly entertaining spectacle. Nothing less than a three-hour event would be expected, but how else should “SNL” celebrate the golden anniversary season, which would begin in the autumn of 2024 and continue through May, 2025?
Here is our exciting, fun suggestion for a way to go above and beyond for the live special. Over the course of a 20-22 episode season, NBC would certainly have almost every episode featuring the current cast along with hot guest hosts and musical guests. However, for the other five episodes spread out over several months, devote an entire 90 minutes to each previous decade. Invite back the biggest cast members from a decade along with well-known guest hosts and music stars.

It’s a feat only 29 other SNL cast members have pulled off: With tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Live, Heidi Gardner has appeared in 500 sketches.
That’s according to longtime SNL statistician Mike Murray, who hosts The Saturday Night Network’s weekly SNL by the Numbers podcast. (Full disclosure: The Snn is LateNighter’s podcast partner.)
Tonight’s game show sketch “Couple Goals” was Gardner’s 500th sketch.
Gardner, who’s in her seventh SNL season, is only the 30th cast member to hit the 500 sketch milestone, an honor she shares with two other current cast members, Mikey Day and (of course) Kenan Thompson, whose 21 seasons on the show put him at the top of the list.

Diarra From Detroit is, at various points, a hard-boiled mystery, a quarter-life crisis comedy, a complicated love triangle (that’s occasionally a quadrangle), and an ensemble hangout show about a group of longtime friends. Some of these elements in theory make sense together — though in theory they should not all fit within the same series. But the reason Diarra, which debuted last week on the BET+ streaming service, is among this year’s most pleasant TV surprises is how much it all makes sense when you watch it.

Conan O’Brien made a late-night appearance at the Eighth Annual Love Rocks NYC Benefit Concert For God’s Love We Deliver at Beacon Theater in New York City.
The comedian sported a black suit with a black graphic t-shirt while posing with his fellow comedian friends Tracy Morgan, Martin Short and Jim Gaffigan.
In June 2021, O’Brien said his final farewell to late-night TV after three decades.
O’Brien started his career as a comedy writer and worked his way up to late-night TV.
The comedian began his tenure as this host for NBC’s Late Night in the early 90s replacing former Late Show host David Letterman and then moving up to The Tonight Show. After being fired from The Tonight Show, he made the switch to TBS hosting his self-titled late-night show, Conan.

Dave Grohl paid tribute to his one-time Nirvana bandmate Paul McCartney (technically, it’s true!) with a rendition of “Live and Let Die” at the Love Rocks NYC benefit concert Thursday night, March 7.
The Foo Fighters frontman gave a characteristically full-throated performance of McCartney’s hit 1973 James Bond theme song. Though he strained a bit to hit some of the high notes during the ballad-y sections and left the “You know you did” refrain to the backing vocalists, he attacked the hard rock portions the way only Dave Grohl can.

The first "Saturday Night Live" episodes of 2024 were underwhelming. The writers weren't able to do much with Jacob Elordi other than thirst after his handsomeness, and Dakota Johnson didn't bring much to the table other than enthusiasm for Justin Timberlake being there and a great roast of herself and Please Don't Destroy. The episodes were so bad that we didn't even do full reviews of them.
Thankfully, "SNL" finally picked up the slack with the third episode of the year, hosted by Emmy-winner Ayo Edebiri, the co-star of FX's hit series "The Bear." With a history in stand-up comedy, Edebiri has the perfect background for a late night sketch comedy series, so it should come as no surprise that she easily fit in with the rest of the "SNL" cast and delivered a fantastic episode.
So let's dig into the highs and occasional lows of Ayo Edebiri's episode of "Saturday Night Live.

Actor, writer, comedian and producer Tina Fey is returning to the small screen to co-write and star in The Four Seasons, an adaptation of the 1981 film of the same name which was written and directed by Alan Alda, who also starred alongside Carol Burnett, Len Cariou, Sandy Dennis, Rita Moreno, Jack Weston, and Bess Armstrong.

It was fantastic to see Danny on Broadway in “I Need That”. He and Lucy and everybody involved kept the audience entertained, laughing and loving every minute – one of the best plays I’ve ever seen, a true spectacle with heart!!

Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger has shared a photo on his Instagram posing with his ‘Twins’ co-star Danny DeVito, 79, and DeVito’s daughter Lucy DeVito, 40, on the set of their Broadway play ‘I Need That’.
“My brother! It was fantastic to see Danny on Broadway in ‘I Need That’,” Schwarzenegger wrote in a caption to the photo, reports People magazine.
Arnold further mentioned: “He and Lucy and everybody involved kept the audience entertained, laughing and loving every minute – one of the best plays I’ve ever seen, a true spectacle with heart!! I can’t wait to work together again.”
Schwarzenegger and DeVito famously co-starred in 1988’s ‘Twins’, a buddy comedy that centred around the pair as genetically engineered fraternal twins separated at birth.
The movie grossed $111 million at the domestic box office upon its release and was the fifth highest-grossing film released that year, per Box Office Mojo.

Every now and then a clip pops up on the internet involving a celebrity that makes you go, Yeah, that’s me! That’s the case with an interview with Eddie Murphy from just earlier this year, in which he revealed that he and Tracy Morgan constantly text each other lines from the original Planet of the Apes.
In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Eddie Murphy was asked about his texting habits with pal Tracy Morgan, with the late night talk show host asking the comedian to give him some examples of their exchanges. Murphy first came up with – while mimicking Dr. Zaius (as played by Maurice Evans) and mock-texting – “Where is your nest at?” to which Morgan will text back, “Thank God for calling me Taylor”, as spoken by Charlon Heston’s George Taylor. Murphy also remembered watching Planet of the Apes repeatedly, even owning the action figures – well,...

ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff, who was severely injured in a roadside bombing while covering Iraq in 2006, is returning to the country — and the exact spot where he was hurt — in a new special. ABC News Studios’ “After the Blast: The Will to Survive,” which chronicles Woodruff’s journey back to where it all happened, will premiere Nov. 10 at 8 p.m. Et on ABC and stream on Hulu the following day.
Woodruff was ABC’s “World News Tonight” anchor with Elizabeth Vargas in 2006, when he and cameraperson Doug Vogt suffered a near-death experience during a roadside bombing. Vargas simultaneously went on maternity leave and departed the newscast; Charles Gibson then took over “World News.”

It took three weeks, multiple votes, and multiple candidates, but Republicans in congress finally elected a new Speaker of the House this week, selecting Mike Johnson for the job. Tracy Morgan swears it could’ve been him — especially with George Santos’ endorsement.
Stopping by “The Tonight Show” on Thursday, Morgan blew Jimmy Fallon’s mind when he admitted that he’s not only into politics, but firmly believes he could bring politicians across the aisle to work together.
“Yeah, I could’ve been speaker! My game is good!” Morgan said. “How you think I got my wife to marry me? Lying! She did not want to know the truth about me. I’m telling you, who could get the Democrats and the Republicans together better than old Tray-Bae?”
Through his trademark fit of laughter, Fallon agreed, applauding the comedian’s desire to help. But, Morgan took things one further, joking...

Tracy Morgan paid tribute to his longtime business manager Mark Landesman on Wednesday, admitting, “I don’t know where I’d be without you, bro.”
Landesman was recognized with THR‘s Business Manager Icon Award at its annual Power Business Managers breakfast, where Morgan, his client of 20 years, presented him with the honor.
At the podium, Morgan joked, “Whenever I want to buy a new Ferrari, Mark is always here to say, ‘No, Tracy.’ If it wasn’t for Mark, I would’ve had 26 Ferraris and a terrible tax problem.” He also teased he’s previously asked if he could buy the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building and the Staten Island Ferry — the last of which he was told, “No Tracy, my other client Pete Davidson already owns it.”
Though the Ml Management founder has a long list of star clients, the two have a particularly deep bond, as...

CAA’s Ted Chervin joined The Hollywood Reporter senior business editor Ashley Cullins on Wednesday for a keynote conversation at THR’s annual Power Business Managers event to discuss the intertwining of Hollywood and the sports world.
Chervin acknowledged that there’s been a breakdown of barriers between sports and entertainment, and even within entertainment itself, because of “a combination of the democratization of information with social media and other ways that people have of accessing both information and opportunities,” as well as the realization that sports is, essentially, entertainment.
The success of Ted Lasso and the resulting increased American interest in soccer was one such example, as Chervin — who counts Ted Lasso co-creator Bill Lawrence as his first client — recalled that when trying to sell the show they encountered “a lot of skepticism.”
“Nobody wanted it: Netflix passed, Amazon passed, HBO Max passed, Apple bought it I would say reluctantly.

Even though we're not done with Halloween, Disney isn't wasting anytime digging back into the world of Santa Claus with a second season of the Disney+ original series "The Santa Clauses." Tim Allen is back as jolly old Saint Nick, and now he's focusing on turning all the happenings at the North Pole into a family business. Elizabeth Mitchell is still as supportive as ever as Mrs. Claus, Cal Calvin Claus (Austin Kane) is preparing to eventually become Santa Claus at some point with a little Santa training program, and Sandra Calvin Claus is helping out in the background by taking care of the reindeer and whatnot.
Of course, getting the North Pole in shape for Christmas isn't their biggest concern; there's trouble brewing in the form of another Santa Claus. Eric Stonestreet ("Modern Family") is playing Magnus Antas or The Mad Santa. Apparently, he thinks Scott Calvin's version...
