It’s Day 2 of the Upfronts and Amazon is making its primetime debut.
The streamer is already making news with a series order for a Nic Cage-from Spider-Man noir live-action drama, a Jeopardy! spinoff and a slew of sports docs including a third season of Coach Prime.
There have also been renewals for The Boys and Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
This comes after Tom Brady was in the huddle for yesterday’s Fox Upfront and NBCUniversal held their annual ad blowout at Radio City Music Hall.
Held at Pier 36, Amazon kicked off thirty minutes late with thousands of people lining up outside a construction site to get in.

Amazon is stacking up its unscripted orders.
The streaming service has ordered two new nonscripted series; it has ordered a U.S. version of British format Buy It Now hosted by Curb Your Enthusiasm star Jb Smoove and Nick Cannon is hosting holiday event Wish List Games.
Elsewhere, it has added names to Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, hosted by Travis Kelce.
This comes after the streamer ordered Pop Culture Jeopardy!, a spinoff of the iconic gameshow.
Amazon has largely struggled in the unscripted world and has had few breakouts so is evidently trying to bolster its slate.
Buy It Now comes from The Traitors producer Studio Lambert and is based on a Channel 4 daytime format that seasoned and budding entrepreneurs try to win a place in the Buy It Now store featured on both Amazon.com and within the Prime app.

Just when the Tennessee Titans were just starting to make some noise in the NFL since Chris Johnson rushed for 2,000 yards in his rookie season, the Titans have run straight into a brick wall. Just a week removed from a stunning performance against the visiting San Diego Chargers (aside from a few maddening inconsistencies), quarterback Jake Locker was turning in his greatest performance under center.
In one half of play, Locker was turning heads with three touchdowns against a tough New York Jets defense, helping the Titans start off with a commanding 24-6 lead. But in the third quarter, the last thing that Titans fans needed to see happened.
On the beginning of their second drive in the third quarter, Jake Locker suffered two big hits from Jets defensive linemen Muhammad Wilkerson and Quinton Coples. After Locker’s attempted pass to Nate Washington was ruled incomplete, Titans fans watched as...

As we all know, there are film fans everywhere, even (especially?) in the world of sports. That works out well, since athletes are granted a public forum with which to showcase their movie fandom that maybe, say, systems analysts or accountants are not. (Sorry, systems analysts and accountants.)
But while athletes (or coaches) paying homage to their favorite films is nothing that's necessarily new, those instances have come in varying degrees of devotion. Here, we have nine memorable cases of sports mimicking movies, either in front of the camera or on the field.
1. Falcons Tight End Tony Gonzalez Pulls an 'Anchorman'
The NBC Sunday Night Football intros are a double-edged sword: they're great in that they get you pumped for the game to a unique degree, but also silly in that they allow the players to do basically whatever the hell they want (see also: Randy Moss claiming to have...

Bob Costas and NBC fired over their rundown on the gridiron action: "Thursday night in Green Bay, the NFL opener was wild and dramatic, but, in a sense, it all went according to form.

The Chiefs were 7-1 at Arrowhead last season, but this afternoon, the Bills . 4-12 a year ago -- stampeded into Kansas City and blew out the home team, with Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing for four scores.

Your NFL Week 4 Recap, in the form of wacky photos, dumb Photoshops, and incredibly in-depth game film analysis: Broncos 26, Titans 20 Raciest moment of the week: Titans defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil gave the finger to a ref after a call he didn’t like, as seen here on SportsCenter: It’s bad enough the dude has a super-blurry right arm, but now you’re gonna fine him for it? Pretty cruel there, NFL. Even if his blurry gesture is in fact plagiarizing the Aerosmith “Cryin” video. Falcons 16, 49ers 14 This game topped the Raiders’ missed field goal from Week 3 as the most painful loss of the season; up by 1 point with under 2 minutes left, San Francisco cornerback Nate Clements intercepted a pass which would’ve sealed the game, but Falcons receiver Roddy White caught him from behind and stripped the ball, the Falcons recovered, then drove back down the field for a winning field goal.
