Zero out of 10 dentists recommend following Sarah Silverman’s bedtime routine.

Tonight’s installment of Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney touched on a topic that roughly 12 percent of Americans will find to be all too relevant: “Why Can’t I Sleep?” The insomnia-focused episode featured a blindfolded Mulaney talking through the sleep habits of his guests, his fans and his sidekick alongside an unreasonably handsome neuroscientist, and the seemingly mundane subject brought out some batshit insane stories from the group, such as when Richard Kind revealed that he once took a nap in the bathroom during a date.

But of all the bizarre and unhealthy sleep routines featured on tonight’s Everybody’s Live, stand-up legend Sarah Silverman had by far the most inadvisable and inimitable strategy for falling asleep every night. As she explained to the panel, Silverman starts her wind-down by flossing her teeth, then she smokes weed,...

On tonight’s episode of Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney, Richard Kind revealed the secret of his sexual prowess: power naps.

With his Netflix talk show, John Mulaney wants to reimagine the late-night format through the lens of sheer insanity, an ambition he could only achieve with the help of the single most chaotic side-kick in show business. Kind, 68, has committed to the bit of Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney so hard that he has often stolen the entire show, such as when he broke Pete Davidson by screaming “He’s in the Order of the Gash!,” or when he threw on his finest ripped T-shirt to perform a perfect Bill Belichick parody.

Then, during tonight's episode of Everybody's Live, the topic of sleep trouble perfectly segued into what Mulaney is calling “my favorite Richard Kind story of all time” as the veteran stage and screen actor revealed...

Note: This story contains spoilers from “Poker Face” Season 2, Episode 3.

Any “Poker Face” fan would have expected the second installment of the Rian Johnson-created series to play out in a similar way to last season: Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie Cale travels across the country in her Plymouth Barracuda solving murders before the finale sees her come face-to-face with the current antagonist.

But, instead, “Poker Face” threw out the rule book and eliminated the threat looming over Charlie from mob boss Beatrix Hasp (Rhea Perlman) in just the third episode of the season with an FBI string gone wrong that puts Beatrix into witness protection and Charlie without a hit on her head.

“When we started talking about different options of a … through-line, I don’t think any of them really excited us creatively,” showrunner Tony Tost told TheWrap. “We’re under that assumption that you have this big bad...

The first season of Rian Johnson and Natasha Lyonne's Poker Face drew praise that was universal, giving it a near-perfect score of 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. Season 2 has since debuted with its first three episodes, and the new season is off to an incredible start with a score that's even more impressive.

Currently, Season 2 of Poker Face has a perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Like the first season, Lyonne has drawn a lot of praise in particular for her performance as Charlie Cale. The new season's guest stars are also getting some high marks. While the 100% score could potentially drop if future episodes are not as well-received, there's no doubt that the second season couldn't be off to a better start.

"Poker Face Season 2 doesn’t just match the first season, it confidently surpasses it," reads a review by Discussing Film critic Nicolas Celgadillo. "The Peacock series firmly solidifies its own unique rhythm,...

Richard Kind, the voice of Bing Bong in the Inside Out franchise, has explained why his character wasn't present in the recent sequel. He spoke about the character, playing the role, and why Bing Bong didn't need to come back for Inside Out 2.

Per Screen Rant, Kind revealed that he actually has connections with Pixar Cco and director Pete Docter, but he didn't feel the need to use them to reprise his role. "There's one thing I don't do is ask friends for work, or even intimate friends for work. So, when I wasn't in Inside Out 2, it was all fine, and I couldn't have been there, because it would have been a false reality," Kind said. "We all know what happened to Bing Bong."

The first Inside Out film, which starred Amy Poehler as Joy and Phyllis Smith as Sadness, saw the emotions teaming up with Bing Bong,...

Richard Kind’s beloved Inside Out character may have missed out on 2024’s sequel, but the veteran Pixar voice actor has his own ideas for a prequel TV series. Having previously lent his vocal talents to A Bug’s Life, Cars, Cars 2, and Toy Story 3, Kind played the forgotten imaginary friend Bing Bong in 2015’s Inside Out. In a touching sequence, Bing Bong valiantly sacrifices himself to allow Amy Poehler’s Joy to escape the Memory Dump and save Riley (Kaitlyn Dias). Having been erased from Riley’s memory, Bing Bong sadly did not return for 2024’s Inside Out 2.

Speaking with ScreenRant about his appearance in Poker Face season 2, Kind spoke about his desire to reprise his Inside Out character in what he envisions as a prequel television series. Suggesting the show could follow Bing Bong and Riley when she is around three or four years of age, the...

Exclusive: Richard Kind addresses his absence from Inside Out 2, explaining why he feels Bing Bong not returning for the sequel ultimately benefited the franchise's journey so far. Kind's imaginary friend was a key character of the 2015 Pixar animated feature, being the long-forgotten companion of Riley whom Joy (Amy Poehler) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith) stumble across on their journey back to Headquarters. The 2024 sequel focuses its attention on Riley's existing Emotions as they grapple with some new Emotions joining their ranks.

While Kind sat down to discuss his appearance in Poker Face season 2 with Screen Rant, the actor revealed why he found himself omitted from Inside Out 2. Though the actor is on good terms with Pixar Cco and director Peter Docter, Kind not only had no desire to use his connections to join the cast but felt it could lessen the character's impact.

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers from “Poker Face” Season 2, Episode 3, now streaming on Peacock.

FBI agent Luca Clark (Simon Helberg) returned for more action in Episode 3 of “Poker Face,” which is in the midst of a second season boasting more murders, more Charlie (Natasha Lyonne) investigations and more guest stars — including stand-up comedian John Mulaney.

Rian Johnson’s charming murder-of-the-week show features different marquee guest stars in every episode. But since Helberg plays one of the show’s few recurring characters, he’s had a chance to grow the trajectory of Luca since Season 1.

“It’s exciting to see how he fumbles up the ladder, starting from driving around geriatric retired ex-cons in witness protection, all the way to cracking these really significant cases for the FBI and getting into the shit,” Helberg tells Variety. “As an actor, it’s a real dream because I haven’t gotten to...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Poker Face Season 2, Episode 3, “Whack-a-Mole.”] Poker Face seemingly wrapped up Season 1’s big mobster arc in Season 2’s third installment, “Whack-a-Mole,” as Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne) was kidnapped by boss Beatrix Hasp (Rhea Perlman). Used by Beatrix to try and sniff out a mole with her human lie detector skills, Charlie tried to uncover who was responsible for leaking details about Beatrix’s attempt to evade capture from authorities. Ultimately, the man responsible was her own loving husband, Jeffrey (Richard Kind), who wanted out of a life on the run. He served as an informant to Luca Clark (Simon Helberg), who promised to help Jeffrey get out of trouble if he turned on Beatrix and her crew. Meanwhile, Luca’s colleague, Daniel Clyde Otis (John Mulaney), was working with Beatrix to supply her with information, unaware that Jeffrey had flipped. When Beatrix attempted a getaway at an airport, Daniel loaded...

The NBC jury has reached a verdict, your honor, and it is bad news for Night Court fans. The reboot of the classic Reinhold Weege sitcom was firmly on the bubble for the network after drawing a more modest audience than its first two seasons under Dan Rubin. In the end, Melissa Rauch will not be returning to the bench as Judge Abby Stone for Season 4, as the series has been cancelled per Deadline. The news comes just days after Season 3 served out the final two episodes of its 18-episode sentence with a bombshell reveal that changed everything for Judge Stone.

Night Court kicked off on a white-hot note when it debuted in 2023. According to Nielsen ratings at the time, the reboot had been NBC's biggest comedy premiere since 2017, only being surpassed by the reboot of Will & Grace. Since then, the series settled into a groove, bringing zany courtroom...

[This story contains spoilers from the three-episode premiere of Poker Face season two.]

Poker Face is back and after watching the first three episodes of season two, you may be wondering if creator-writer-director Rian Johnson just resolved the show’s over-arching hook.

The first season of the murder-mystery-of-the-week show starring writer-director Natasha Lyonne introduced Lyonne’s detective protagonist, Charlie Cale, as a fugitive with an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying, which helps her solve murders that she stumbles upon. As she hit the road in her Plymouth Barracuda trying to outrun the mob boss trying to kill her (played by Ron Perlman) and his henchman (Benjamin Bratt), she solved a new murder mystery each episode. The season functioned in a standalone format, but had an over-arching big bad tying it all together, and the cliffhanger season one finale put new mob boss Beatrix Hasp (Rhea Perlman) on Charlie’s trail.

That finale set up a second...

This post contains spoilers for the first three episodes of Poker Face Season Two, now streaming on Peacock.

The first season of Poker Face had a fairly straightforward premise and structure. Each week, Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie Cale would drive into a new locale, discover that a murder had taken place, and solve it using her uncanny ability to recognize when people are lying. And then, because she was on the run from vengeful mobster Sterling Frost (Ron Perlman), she had to quickly move onto a new town.

The season finale killed off Frost,...

Charlie Cale, the human truth detector, is back for more mysteries in Season 2 of “Poker Face,” which premiered on Peacock with three episodes on Thursday. Natasha Lyonne returns in her Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated role.

The series, from “Knives Out” director Rian Johnson, follows Charlie’s off-the-grid adventures as she tries to stay one step ahead of the mobsters who want her dead. In classic “Columbo” or “Murder, She Wrote,” style, a murder just happens to occur wherever she goes.

This season boasts a tremendous who’s who of guest stars, kicking off off with “Wicked” star Cynthia Erivo. We’ll also see Lyonne reunited with her “But I’m a Cheerleader” costar, Melanie Lynskey of “Yellowjackets.”

Here’s when and were to watch all Season 2 episodes:

In the new season of the murder-mystery series Poker Face, Richard Kind makes a guest appearance as a man named Jeffrey Hasp. The husband of mob boss Beatrix Hasp (played by Rhea Perlman), he serves as the family homemaker, cooking her meals and providing a warm atmosphere for her and her hardened colleagues. But gangster life is hard, and Jeffrey's true love is the theater. After all, as he tells another character, he has appeared in numerous community theater musicals such as Cabaret and Into the Woods. Throughout the episode, Jeffrey and others specifically share their love of Stephen Sondheim, singing tunes from musicals like Into the Woods, Merrily We Roll Along, and Assassins. As an actor, Kind himself has also appeared in many...

On the previous episode of Poker Face season 2 on Peacock, Beatrix Hasp held Charlie (Natasha Lyonne) at gunpoint just seconds after she’s dismantled the threat of Fred. Now enters her biggest threat of all and the reason why she is on the run. Will Charlie worm her way out of another sticky situation? Find out in the spoilers below.

Charlie has done well so far to be stealthy enough to get away from Beatrix Hasp’s (Rhea Perlman) men, but all good luck has run out for Charlie. Hasp however isn’t looking to kill her just yet.

Spoilers for "Poker Face" season 2 follow.

"Poker Face" is back for season 2 (read our review here), and I couldn't be more delighted. Rian Johnson's wonderful little streaming series is what's called a "howcatchem" rather than a "whodunit": while there's a murder at the center of every episode, these aren't murder mysteries, at least not to the audience. Borrowing a page out of the "Columbo" playbook, each episode tells us who the killer is upfront. From there, it's up to the show's main sleuth, Charlie Cale, to crack the case. Unlike Columbo, Charlie, as played by Natasha Lyonne, isn't a professional detective. However, she does have the uncanny ability to know when someone is lying; she's basically a human lie detector. Because of this gift, Charlie is always able to tell when a killer is bending the truth, and she usually takes it upon herself to save the day...

Now that she has been caught by the mob, how will Charlie (Natasha Lyonne) get out of this one? A star-studded ensemble delivers one of the funniest episodes of Poker Face yet. Yet “Whack-a-Mole” also makes a Rhea Perlman/Natasha Lyonne scene pairing possible for a half dozen sequences. That alone makes “Whack-a-Mole” worth your time. With John Mulaney, Simon Helberg, and Richard Kind on the edge of the episode, there are plenty of laughs and strange bits to elevate this to one of our favorite comedy episodes of the year.

One year ago, Beatrix called Charlie to tell him the five families will hunt her. Charlie remembers the call and tells her to get on with it. Beatrix needs her to help evade the FBI. Beatrix’s organization has crumbled, and her remaining capos are holed up in a safe house.

In the second episode of Poker Face Season 2, Charlie’s search for a somewhat steady source of income took her to a funeral home where a film was being shot. There, she became pretty friendly with Greta, the wife of the owner of the funeral home, Fred. She really empathized with Greta, since she was in an unhappy marriage, which was barring her from pursuing her dreams. So, Charlie promised to help her get to Miami, where she would be able to put her degree in cosmetology to great use. But Fred couldn’t digest the news of his wife finally deciding to live life on her own terms and killed her while making it look like she skipped town after filming wrapped. But Charlie wasn’t happy with the vagueness around Grace’s disappearance and decided to solve the case. When Charlie finally had enough evidence to prove that Greta had been killed,...

Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for the eighth and final season of its Emmy-winning animated series Big Mouth, set to premiere globally on May 23, 2025. The trailer teases a fittingly awkward and heartfelt farewell as the Bridgeton teens confront the chaos of high school and the looming uncertainty of adulthood.

In this final chapter, Nick, Andrew, Jessi, Missy, Jay, and their hormone monsters navigate new challenges such as driving, drugs, sexual inexperience, enthusiastic consent, porn, cancel culture, and the fear of the future. Despite the turmoil, they find strength in their enduring friendships.

The original voice cast returns, including Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Jessi Klein, Jason Mantzoukas, Ayo Edebiri, Fred Armisen, Maya Rudolph, Jordan Peele, and Andrew Rannells. Season 8 also boasts an impressive lineup of guest stars such as Cynthia Erivo, Holly Hunter, Steve Buscemi, Billy Porter, and Richard Kind.

Big Mouth has been celebrated for its candid and comedic exploration of puberty and adolescence.

It's almost time to bid farewell, but not goodbye to the Bridgeton teens. Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for the eighth and final season of Nick Kroll's animated comedy Big Mouth, teasing what's to come for Nick and his friends as they navigate a whole new set of challenges as high-schoolers. After graduating from middle school back in 2023, milestones are about to hit the kids hard and fast as they not only deal with their changing bodies, but also navigate sexual inexperience, drugs, driving, porn, cancel culture, and fear of the future in a complicated environment. In the end, however, what they'll need most to survive this overwhelming time is friendship and support from each other.

The hormone monster Maury opens the trailer by describing the end of Big Mouth as "the end of a very gross era." Though their final run together will be a bit messy...

To quote Nick Kroll’s Maury, “It’s the end of a very gross era.” “Big Mouth” dropped the trailer for its eighth and final season on Wednesday, and it’s just as upsetting and surprisingly sweet as this raunchy animated comedy has always been. The longest-running scripted Netflix original will premiere on May 23.

“Do you schmucks even know why you go through puberty?” Natasha Lyonne asks as a sassy new teacher. The video then cuts to a series of embarrassing scenes, from Missy (Ayo Edebiri) accidentally farting on another student’s lunch to Jessi (Jessi Klein) panicking about her Pms. But it’s not all humiliating bodily functions. The trailer also shows Lola (Kroll) introducing Matthew (Andrew Rannells) to something called the gay pornscape, a colorful land filled with men happily exploring their various kinks. And this season has a special surprise in store for one of its main...

Poker Face is almost back for Season 2 and ushering in a whole new wave of jaw-dropping guest stars, including John Mulaney, Rhea Perlman, and Richard Kind, who feature in the episode “Whack-a-Mole,” alongside Natasha Lyonne‘s Charlie Cale. As viewers will recall, Charlie has the uncanny ability to detect when people are lying, calling “bullsh*t” whenever they do. In this exclusive sneak peek at the episode, Charlie finds herself handcuffed to the wheel of her blue Plymouth Barracuda, while mob boss Beatrix Hasp (Perlman) convenes with Special Agent Daniel Clyde Otis (Mulaney). Meeting at a gas station, Beatrix says, “The name of that rat better be in this weenies can.” “No, it’s not,” Daniel responds, “It says, ‘safe house not safe,’ though,” he adds before rattling off various perks he’s supposedly retained on behalf of Beatrix.

The Comeback Kid. Baby J. Andrew Glouberman. John Mulaney has many names in the Netflix universe, and now he’s claimed one more: live talk show host. Mulaney is hosting, co-showrunning, and executive producing Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney through his company, Multiple Camera Productions, alongside executive producers Ashley Edens, Dave Ferguson, and John Foy.

As Mulaney reminds us at the top of his monologue each week, the talk show streams “live around the world with no delay.” This 12-episode season is a continuation of John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A., which was part of last year’s Netflix is a Joke Fest. Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney, which the host himself insists will “never be relevant,” features Richard Kind as its beloved announcer; Saymo as both trusty snack-delivery robot and Richard Kind antagonizer; and a slate of rotating guest panelists who will discuss a weekly “universal” topic.

Plot: Poker Face is a mystery-of-the-week series following Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie, who has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road with her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but solve.

Review: While Rian Johnson revived the whodunit on the big screen with Knives Out and the Netflix sequel Glass Onion, his charmingly retro small-screen series Poker Face has truly proven its worth in the tried-and-true genre. Echoing classic shows like Columbo and The Rockford Files, Poker Face‘s first season centered on Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne), who solved mysteries while on the run from gangsters looking to kill her. The overarching narrative of the first season was engaging, but the standalone mysteries boasting famous guest stars turned Poker Face into must-watch programming. After a two-year wait, Poker Face is back with another ten mysteries,...

The second season of Poker Face was celebrated Thursday at the Hollywood Legion Theater where Natasha Lyonne, the star, executive producer, writer, and director, took a time-out from the premiere party to talk to Gold Derby about her upcoming movie, which has received plenty of attention this week.

Lyonne announced just days earlier that she was embarking on her feature film directorial debut, called Uncanny Valley, that would employ generative AI. Although Lyonne said she and her team would use the technology "ethically and creatively," the news was met with ambivalence due to industry-wide fear of artificial intelligence not only replacing artists but incorporating their work without permission.

Seemingly wary after some reports got it wrong, Lyonne on Thursday was cautious to note that Uncanny Valley “is not really an AI film.” Very aware of the reputation and threat the term AI carries in Hollywood, she clarified “ultimately, what this...

Had John Mulaney not wrapped up Wednesday’s show by outlining his plan to fight three 14-year-old boys, the weirdest part of the most recent episode of Everybody’s Live likely would have been the Phish-Seinfeld mash-up that nobody saw coming.

This week’s Body Double-inspired telescope bit revealed an oddly dilapidated replica of the Seinfeld apartment, which, to everyone’s surprise, was occupied by members of the band Phish, all wearing costumes and janky makeup that made them resemble the disfigured corpses of the sitcom’s four lead characters. Although, as Mulaney randomly pointed out, guitarist Trey Anastasio was not wearing a wig. “Phish is acting like Seinfeld, that’s fascinating!” sidekick Richard Kind exclaimed.

Things got even creepier when the the show began incoherently jump cutting between various takes of the Seinfeld parody, and dubbing in inexplicable existential musings like “I’m not ever going to heaven,...

While Rian Johnson fans are undoubtedly waiting in eager anticipation for Wake Up Dead Man to release later this year, they will have season two of his Peacock show Poker Face to hold them over. Offering another set of clever, funny, and exciting mysteries, season two of Poker Face sees the show and its crew take some exciting, ambitious swings that establish it as one of the best shows right now.

Poker Face Season 2 Review

Season two of Poker Face picks up with Charlie (Natasha Lyonne) still on the run from the mob, travelling across the country doing odd jobs and finding herself in trouble. Each episode, she encounters a new set of larger-than-life characters who propel her into a shocking new mystery for her to solve with her uncanny “human lie detector” abilities.

If you haven’t yet tuned into an episode of John Mulaney’s weekly Netflix variety series Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney, a sketch featuring the members of Phish dressed as the cast of Seinfeld might seem like a hallucination straight out of a jam band-inspired acid trip. But it’s actually par for the course on Mulaney’s talk show, which has quickly become one of television’s most captivating weekly watches—largely due to the wacky, absurd sketches dreamed up by Mulaney, with Netflix picking up the tab.

In the case of this week’s episode, Phish’s Trey Anastasio dressed as Jerry, Mike Gordon as George, Jon Fishman as Elaine, and Page McConnell as Kramer attempted to act out a Seinfeld scene. The bit started with Mulaney observing the band through his telescope, while sidekick Richard Kind wondered aloud if it was...

Everybody is talking about Bill Belichick’s girlfriend and the strange timeline of their relationship. John Mulaney knows what that’s like — and he has notes.

When the host of Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney divorced his first wife, multimedia artist Anna Marie Tendler, in January of 2022, he discovered that a huge portion of his fandom had very strong feelings about his personal life that bordered on hysteria, especially in regards to his new relationship with his current wife Olivia Munn. Widespread and unfounded speculation about the origins of the Mulaney-Munn connection dominated discussion about Mulaney both on social media and in the tabloids, and for a time, gossip about Mulaney’s personal life overshadowed his actual body of work in all online forums.

So, when the legendary, 73-year-old football coach found himself on the front page of every gossip magazine following a bizarre CBS interview that his 24-year-old...

After exploring the pitfalls of puberty for eight seasons with the adult-animated series Big Mouth, the show’s creator, Nick Kroll, and his talented team will escape to the forest for a new show called Mating Season. Today, the official Big Mouth Twitter account shared a teaser image for Mating Season featuring four smiling critters with suspicious smiles, dead-eye stares, and come-hither grimaces.

According to reports, Mating Season is a romantic comedy exploring relationships from an animal’s point of view. The new show, launching in 2026, revolves around “a cast of bears, raccoons, deer, foxes and a host of other horny, lovable forest critters, as they navigate love, sexual relationships and the universal need to hook up and find a partner.”

Titmouse is the studio with Nick Kroll, Mark Levin, Jennifer Flackett, and Andrew Goldberg executive produce alongside Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina, who serve as executive producers.

Raunch-fest Big Mouth may be coming to an end, but its creators already have their next horny series lined up: Rom-com Mating Season is set to hit Netflix in 2026, TVLine has learned.

Created and executive-produced by Mark Levin, Jennifer Flackett, Andrew Goldberg and Nick Kroll, the series will be set in the animal world and “star a cast of bears, raccoons, deer, foxes and a host of other horny, lovable forest critters, as they navigate love, sexual relationships and the universal need to hook up and find a partner,” according to its official description.

George Clooney had a busy Broadway day and we have all the photos!

The Oscar-winning actor is currently starring in the play Good Night, And Good Luck and he has been breaking box office records on an almost weekly basis, bringing in the biggest-ever grosses for a play.

George kicked off his day on Thursday morning (April 24) by playing in the Broadway League’s annual softball tournament alongside the cast of his play.

Later in the day, George went to the iconic restaurant Sardi’s for the unveiling of his caricature, which his good friend Richard Kind revealed for him.

At 7pm, George was back on stage for a performance of the play.

Good Night, and Good Luck is a stage adaptation of George‘s award-winning movie of the same name, which he wrote and directed. Check out the official production photos.

George Clooney received his Sardi’s caricature Thursday after making his Broadway debut in Good Night, and Good Luck this spring.

When asked to sign his portrait, Clooney quipped: “You got it. Brad Pitt.”

Clooney also joked about the difference in hair color between the portrait, which features his natural gray hair, and his current hair, which is dyed black for his role as Edward R. Murrow in Good Night, and Good Luck.

In addition to making his Broadway acting debut, Clooney co-wrote Good Night, and Good Luck with Grant Heslov after the two had penned the 2005 film version. The play, which opened at the Winter Garden Theatre on April 3, follows Murrow and the staff of CBS as he takes aim at Senator Joseph McCarthy.

Sardi’s, a well-known restaurant in the theater district, typically honors select Broadway stars by presenting them with caricatures that are then featured in the restaurant for decades to come.

On Wednesday evening, shortly after Ayo Edebiri made her entrance through the remarkably heavy doors of Everybody’s Live With John Mulaney (a feat even fellow guest Conan O’Brien struggled with on the same episode), she got comfortable and opened an envelope containing a review of the show she wrote for Letterboxd. Since 2018, the Bear star has reviewed movies on the movie-journaling social network, many of which have gone viral.

Fortuitously for Mulaney, she seemed to like his freewheeling talk show, comparing watching it to crack, y’know, in a good way.

Film stars might seem to be making some inroads with this year’s New York Drama League Awards nominations – George Clooney, Robert Downey Jr., Paul Mescal, Mia Farrow and Jake Gyllenhaal, among others, are all accounted for – but stage stalwarts like Amber Gray, David Greenspan, André De Shields, Beth Leavel, and Idina Menzel are certainly well represented.

Sarah Hyland (The Great Gatsby) and Orville Peck (Cabaret) announced the 2025 Drama League Award nominees this morning at an event held at Lincoln Center’s New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. The Drama League awards cover both Broadway and Off Broadway. The awards will be presented at the 91st Annual Drama League Awards Friday, May 16, at the Ziegfeld Ballroom.

The Drama League previously announced the 2025 Special Recognition Award Recipients: Tony and Olivier Award winner Lea Salonga will receive the Award for Distinguished Achievement in Musical Theater; Director Whitney White (and multiple...

Exclusive: Daniel Lombroso, the journalist and director who helped build the Oscar-nominated video departments of The New Yorker and The Atlantic, has teamed with veteran comedy producer Kerry Mack to launch new documentary production company Outerboro Films.

Based in Brooklyn, the studio will focus on stories that go inside the fringe to capture the absurdity of modern American life. Its first feature out of the gate is You’ll Be Happier, a doc on the world of male penis enlargement, with the backing of executive producers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato of World of Wonder, as well as EPs Penny Lane, Gabriel Sedgwick, and Marcus Gershenberg, and the production company Madhouse Films.

Following a gay Texas businessman striving to make penis enlargement as common as Botox, You’ll Be Happier is currently in post and will be ready for a 2026 festival run.

"Inside Out" is an emotional movie. Disney Pixar's internal gut-check of a film hit audiences of all ages in all the feels, leaving them wet-eyed as they processed through pre-teen Riley Anderson's internal struggles — a journey that is relatable on some level to anyone who calls themselves human. While the movie doesn't leave a dry eye in the room, it turns out that it could have cranked the waterworks up even higher if one death scene had been allowed to play out as originally planned.

We're talking about the tragic ending of one Bing Bong, the fantastical made-up friend from Riley's childhood, voiced by Richard Kind. In the final version of the movie, Bing Bong realizes that his weight (despite being mostly made of cotton candy) is preventing Joy (Amy Poehler) from escaping the gloomy Memory Dump on his rainbow-powered rocket-wagon. He encourages her to try one more time...

As John Mulaney’s weekly Netflix talk show Everybody’s Live continues its deliberately chaotic 12-episode run, one of the few stabilizing factors has been sidekick and announcer Richard Kind.

Thankfully, Kind hasn’t been relegated to the sidelines, he’s participated in some of the show’s funniest bits, including when he behaved like Gene Simmons for an entire episode allegedly due to an oddly specific Kiss-related head injury.

Kind held the same role in last year’s iteration of the series, Everybody’s in L.A. But when it was confirmed that Mulaney’s unhinged show would be returning for a longer run in 2025, Kind’s name wasn’t included in the announcement, prompting some fans to threaten to “riot” if he wasn’t involved.

Well, it seems that the reason why Kind wasn’t name-checked in that press release is that nobody involved with Everybody’s Live...
