Robyn McCall will continue righting wrongs for another season.
CBS has ordered a fifth season of The Equalizer, its drama series starring Queen Latifah (who also executive produces) as McCall, a former CIA operative turned freelance problem solver for people who have nowhere else to turn. The show is a reimagining of the 1985-89 series of the same name and not connected to the Denzel Washington-led film franchise that’s also inspired by the original series.
With the renewal, The Equalizer will pass the original series in the number of seasons it has aired (though not yet in episode count — the 1980s series ran for 88 episodes, and the current show will end this season with 56).
With the pickup of The Equalizer, CBS has only one scripted series — NCIS: Hawai’i — awaiting word on its future. The network plans to announce its 2023-24 schedule on May 2.

Dan Rather is returning to CBS News.
Nearly 20 years after stepping down as the anchor of the CBS Evening News, and 18 years after he last appeared on the network, the anchor will return to a CBS program. This time, he will be the subject of an interview on CBS Sunday Morning.
Per a release from CBS, “Lee Cowan talks with former CBS News anchor Dan Rather about his work at CBS and his life in news.”
A source confirms that it will be Rather’s first appearance on a CBS News program since he formally left the network under tumultuous circumstances nearly two decades ago.
Rather said that he was the scapegoat in a scandal over a 2004 report for 60 Minutes II on then-President George W. Bush’s military record, and the anchor subsequently sued the network for breach of contract. The 60 Minutes spin-off was canceled less than a year later.

When Ncuti Gatwa makes his first appearance as the 15th Doctor in the science-fiction series “Doctor Who,” he isn’t wearing any pants.
In a 60th-anniversary special released in December, the previous Doctor — played by series icon David Tennant — subverts the show’s long-standing practice of regeneration: Instead of simply transforming into the next Doctor, he literally splits in half, bringing Gatwa’s Doctor into the world alongside him. In the process, the two divide the clothes of Tennant’s Doctor between them, leaving Gatwa in nothing but a dress shirt and a pair of tighty-whities.
“Oh, my God, that first costume fitting!

In “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” Lucasfilm resurrected more with its 2022 series for Disney+ than just the eponymous Jedi Master, who’d gone into hiding after the events of “Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith.” The show also rekindled his greatest conflict — perhaps his greatest failure — with former apprentice Anakin Skywalker, transformed by the dark side of the Force into Sith Lord Darth Vader. And it additionally brought back multiple elements of franchise iconography that go all of the way back to the original films — in particular, the bacta tank.

Is there a rule book for comedy? It’s a question igniting fiery debates, especially in today’s era of “cancel culture” dictating the dos and don’ts of stand-up. But for Tony Hinchcliffe, the idea of conforming to these restrictions is as likely as finding a unicorn at a rodeo.
“There’s no room for victim mentality here,” Hinchcliffe tells Variety. “When you step into a dark, dingy comedy club, what do you want to see? Think about it like a strip club. Do you want to see girls in a dress? Or do you want to see nasty fucking shit?...

Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers leaves its sex on the court. In the film, now in theaters, Zendaya stars as Tashi, a former rising star on the tennis circuit who finds herself caught in the net of a love triangle between two best friends and rival players, played by Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor. Challengers is brimming with sensuality, despite not actually having any sex scenes. Instead, in Guadagnino’s hands, it’s all in the serve. He gets the audience right up to the line, but never takes them over it. It creates a hunger in the movie, an insatiable horniness that is only satisfied by the electrifying matches on the court. The sexiest scene isn’t even the much-publicized threesome scene between Tashi and her “little white boys,” as she calls them. (Though that scene is even steamier than the trailer led you to believe.) Instead, the film’s...

According to The Hollywood Reporter, CNN CEO Mark Thompson revealed the news during the network’s 9 a.m. editorial call before Harlow emailed her co-workers to confirm her decision. “Mark, Amy [Entelis], and the CNN management team have been wonderful and have given me the space to make this decision.

She became a New York-based CNN correspondent in April 2012 and, in 2017, took over as co-anchor of CNN Newsroom with Jim Sciutto.

Shortly after escaping a run-amuck spirit and sending it to the afterlife in Episode 1, the titular “Dead Boy Detectives” Edwin (George Rexstrew) and Charles (Jayden Revri) provide an unexpectedly telling glimpse into the world of the show we’re about to delve into over seven more episodes.
In their atmospheric, cluttered London office, where they hold client meetings about casual cases, such as a dead child’s living friend who seems to be possessed by a demon, Charles steps into the closet. And eagle-eyed viewers will spot an entire shelf devoted to multiple editions of the Clue board game.
The dead boys are in the details, so IndieWire had to ask co-showrunners Steve Yockey and Beth Schwartz what was behind that level of minutiae.

As reported by The Sun U.S., a fan took to the Food Network Reddit forum to ask, “What’s the grossest thing you’ve seen a contestant make on any of these shows?” That same user offered up a revolting concoction from budding chef Emily Lim on a Season 33 episode of Guy’s Grocery Games, hosted by Food Network stalwart Guy Fieri. The clip from the show’s “Flavortown Auction” episode sees Lim creating a “bountiful brunch” of canned and frozen foods. Her dish includes waffles, tater tots, mixed green vegetables, and macaroni and cheese, topped off with chili sauce and syrup from a can of fruit cocktail. Oh, and let’s not forget the Salisbury steak entree.

Poppy Harlow and CNN are parting ways after the news outlet put the veteran correspondent through a whirlwind era as one of the co-anchors of an ill-conceived morning program that was ultimately scrapped.
CNN executives “have been wonderful and have given me the space to make this decision,” Harlow said in a memo to colleagues Friday. “I am very grateful to them.”
The decision to leave was Harlow’s, according to people familiar with the matter. CNN executives had come up with a handful of ideas for a new role following the network’s decision to cancel the A.M.

Speaking on the latest episode of former footballer Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, Seales shot down claims that she was a “mean girl” on the Emmy-nominated series. Instead, she blamed Rae for not “protecting” her when it came to behind-the-scenes conflicts. “There’s a whole narrative that is completely false that people keep spinning. They keep saying, you know, that I’m this mean girl on this set, that I harmed these people on this set,” Seales said, per Decider. “I just want to point out something very basic. How can I be a mean girl on a set that ain’t my set? How?” she continued. “It’s your show.

There were plenty of options that nearly made the list, like the WB’s “Smallville,” which squandered its early potential after running just a few seasons too long. Because one of the most exciting things about these stories is that there’s a rich variety to choose from.

Pat Sajak couldn’t keep his eyes off one contestant on Thursday’s (April 25) Wheel of Fortune because of her elaborate, oversized, attention-stealing 1980s hairstyle. The contestant in question was Jennifer Klase, a married mother of two from New Palestine, Indiana, who was voted for having the “Best Hair” in high school back in the ’80s. Klase held that honor with pride and hasn’t changed her hairstyle since. “So when you like something, you stick with it, is that it?” Sajak asked (per The Sun U.S.), clearly fascinated by Klase’s wild, high-volume blond bouffant. “Stick is a good word because of all the hairspray I use,” Klase jokingly replied. Sajak remained intrigued by how Klase has stuck with the same hair-do despite the changing styles and trends over the past three and half decades. “Have you ever changed your hairstyle over the years?” he asked.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Ghosts Season 3, Episode 9, “The Traveling Agent.”] Ghosts is breaking new ground in the latest installment, “The Traveling Agent,” as do-gooder troop leader spirit Pete (Richie Moriarty) discovers his special power is that he can travel beyond the ghost boundary on Woodstone’s property.

After a bumpy outing with Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), Pete is further convinced that his power isn’t something he wants to explore further, but he’s convinced by his pals that he should embrace it.

What’s there left to fear after you’ve already died? For Richie Moriarty’s Pete Martino, the spiritual being of a 1980s travel agent and scout leader on the hit CBS comedy Ghosts, the possibilities are unimaginable.
As in, he can now actually stop dying and starting living. The nervous goody-two-shoes never really lived his own life because he was too busy making other people’s fantasies come alive (he even died by an arrow through the neck because he was helping a bunch of young scouts learn archery). Because the penultimate episode of the series’s third season, entitled “The Traveling Agent,” showed that Pete has a special power that none of the other ghosts who inhabit the show’s very haunted Woodstone Mansion seem to possess: the ability to leave the property.

John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight is now a three-time Peabody Award nominee, and the only late-night show to be recognized by the prestigious organization this year
Earlier today The Peabody Awards Board of Jurors announced this year’s 27 nominees in the Arts, Children’s/Youth, Entertainment, and Interactive & Immersive categories, and Last Week Tonight’s November 2023 episode “Israel-Hamas War” made the list.
The episode is described by the Peabodys as “clear-eyed,” and recognizes Oliver’s own statement from the show that “any conversation around [the war] has to begin with empathy.”
This won’t be the first go-round for Last Week Tonight at the Peabodys. The show is 2-for-2 in Peabody nominations and wins. It won its first in 2015, and again in 2018.
If a third win feels like a stretch, it’s worth keeping in mind that Oliver and team have also won every Emmy Award the show’s ever been nominated for–sixteen in all.

In recent years, doctors and scientists have studied the gut with renewed interest. Research has revealed that the digestive system is more than just a processing center for the food we eat, and that it has a much bigger effect on our overall health than previously thought. Issues as varied as stubborn weight gain and Parkinson’s disease can be linked to the gut, which means that understanding our digestive system — and, by extension, how it thrives or suffers based on what we eat — is crucial. In a new documentary, Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut, German scientist Giulia Enders partners with colleagues to explain how the gut works — and how to make it work for you.
