General Hospital (Gh) spoilers and recaps note that the Friday, May 16 episode was explosive! If you missed today’s show, no need to worry … Cts has you covered!

Lulu Spencer Is Relentless In Her Pursuit For The Truth

General Hospital spoilers and recaps reveal that Friday’s show will pick up where the Thursday, May 15 episode left off.

Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) will be at the coffee shop with Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) talking about how she believes Giovanni “Gio” Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) is Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Brook Lynn Quartermaine-Chase’s (Amanda Setton) son, when … Blq and Gio walk in!

Gio questions if they are talking about him, and Cody is able to recover by saying they were chatting about Rocco Falconeri’s (Finn Carr) alcohol poisoning. This is when Gio apologizes for not calling either Lulu or Dante.

Lulu says it’s...

General Hospital Spoilers report that ever since Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) returned to Port Charles, fans have eagerly awaited the possibility of him and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) reuniting.

With Carly and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) officially over, the path seemed clear for Jason and Carly to finally give in to their undeniable chemistry.

But for some reason, they’re still dancing around each other, and it might be because the show has a more dramatic plan in mind.

Could the only way to make their eventual reunion palatable be to pull them farther apart?

Carly and Jason’s latest decision to stay out of each other’s personal relationships — particularly after Jason’s disapproval of her romance with Wsb Chief Jack Brennan (Chris Mckenna) — may be setting the stage for a deeper conflict, and perhaps one that might throw a wrench into any potential future for them together.

Jason...

General Hospital spoilers and updates tease that Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) could rescue Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) from a deadly syringe, possibly loaded with digitalis, or even polonium.

Will Sonny’s former wife step up as a hero and confront the dangerous intruder threatening him?

A Menace Dressed In Scrubs Approaches Sonny In His Hospital Bed

The latest weekly preview video features a woman entering Sonny’s hospital room disguised in scrubs. It appears that Colette Moreau (Mercedes Lopez Renard) is planning to impersonate a nurse in her latest plot to eliminate Sonny.

No matter who Colette is truly allied with or what drives her actions, it looks like she intends to go after Sonny with a syringe filled with a lethal substance.

Since Sonny will be in a vulnerable state in his hospital bed at that point, he will be in urgent need of help. This is when Carly might make her move,...

General Hospital spoilers and updates for Tuesday, April 22 tease important questions, tough love, and ending a war.

Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) asks important questions, Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) gives some tough love, and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) wants to end a war!

Important Questions

Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) confides in Curtis, likely about the risky operation that Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) insists on having.

Curtis asks her if that’s something she can do, possibly referring to living with herself if she can’t stop Kai and something going terribly wrong.

The operation is barely past the experimental stage, but then so was Curtis’ and it made him walk again-but there wasn’t the bad track record like this one has.

Portia had advised Kai against it and Trina and Kai had a rather tense discussion about it at lunch one day. So now she’s talking to Curtis about what she should do.

Singer-songwriter-musician Janis Ian celebrates her 74th birthday today.

For most of those years, 60 of them in fact, she has been famous, having rocketed to renown at age 14 with her precocious debut single “Society’s Child,” a song about what was at the time the very taboo subject of an interracial romance. As she enters her mid-70s, Ian is the focus of the new documentary Janis Ian: Breaking Silence, a film directed by Varda Bar-Kar that charts the remarkable trajectory of her life and career.

Bar-Kar (Fandango at the Wall) says the inspiration to make the film came after a period of personal reflection.

General Hospital spoilers claim Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) are teetering on the edge of something big.

Could this be the moment that reignites the legendary CarSon flame? Spoilers are dropping hints of vulnerability, shared secrets, and a pull that neither can ignore.

With danger lurking and hearts on the line, is this the setup for a reunion we’ve all been dreaming of, or just another tease in their rollercoaster saga?

It wasn’t long ago that these two reluctantly paired up in the public eye to give the cover of an alibi after Sonny shot FBI Agent John ‘Jagger’ Cates (Adam Harrington). They were hardly thrilled with the arrangement, so why would their feelings toward one another change now?

Carly Pushes Pause

The walls are closing in on Carly, and who better to turn to than the man who has seen her at her best and worst?...

Dana Carvey has a long comedy history with Johnny Carson, from wowing the host on early Tonight Show appearances to angering him with that Carsenio character on Saturday Night Live, an impression that made Carson seem old and out-of-touch. Decades later, Carvey still does Carson in his act, including a running bit about the late-night host getting pulled over for drunk driving.

While Carson had real-life DUIs, the gag is mostly a goof on old-timey drink names and inane cocktail bars: “Sorry, Officer, I had a Strawberry Boom Boom at the Winking Rat.” Or: “I had a Feisty Feather at Slippery Tim’s.” Carvey is still improvising variations on the joke, he told David Spade on their Superfly podcast this week, revealing which improvised version killed the hardest at a recent appearance: “I had a Double Leaky Giraffe at the Desperate Sponge.”

Carvey goofing on Carson’s under-the-influence excuses sparked...

General Hospital spoilers and updates reveal an important question needs to be asked about two former flames. Do Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) belong together?

Fans React On Social Media

Fans of Gh are buzzing on social media following the poignant moments shared between the exes in the March 19 episode.

Could these scenes suggest that Carly and Sonny are still destined for each other; upon learning that Carly had been hospitalized, Sonny rushed to her side without hesitation.

Carly welcomed him with a warm smile as he inquired about her situation-later, Sonny became emotional, expressing his deep-seated fear of receiving such distressing news again.

During the drive, he confided his worries about how the children would cope without their mother. Sonny pondered aloud, “What will I do without you?;” just then, Carly grasped his hand firmly, assuring him that he wouldn’t be able to shake her off so easily.

Season 5 was when it all came together for "Seinfeld." It was no longer a cult sitcom that couldn't crack the Nielsen ratings' top 20, but an appointment-viewing smash that finished third for the year overall. The following year, it would become the number one show on the air.

Why did it take so long for "Seinfeld" to break through to the mainstream? For starters, it truly lived up to its reputation as a show about nothing. While we now look at the season 2 episode "The Chinese Restaurant" as one of the greatest sitcom episodes ever, NBC executives sought to bury it because they thought an entire story built around the main characters waiting for a table was too slim of a narrative to appeal to viewers. When your network doesn't believe in your show, it's hard to build an audience.

"Seinfeld" needed to get traction in the popular culture, which shouldn't...

‘General Hospital’ two-week spoilers promise that the next two weeks in Port Charles will be filled with excitement, romance, and intrigue.

Several couples celebrate Valentine’s Day as fun surprises are in store for the viewers. There will always be some danger that will keep fans on the edge of their seats. Here are the spoilers for February 17th to 28th

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Week Of February 17th to 21st:

CarSon fans will love it when Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) have a deep conversation. Will Sonny tell his favorite ex-wife about his heart condition?

Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) gives Carly a Valentine’s Day gift. The two of them bond, but something interrupts their night together.

Spoilers hint that Brennan may get caught with his recruitment of Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), and putting her life in danger to “test” her may not sit well with Carly.

‘General Hospital’ (Gh) spoilers indicate that Gh fans received a very unwelcome surprise when they learned on February 3rd that Charles Mesure opted to leave the role of Jack Brennan.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Chris McKenna Stepped Into Brennan’s Shoes

The news was shocking, combined with Mesure’s replacement already in play, as Chris McKenna would debut on the soap the next day.

Fans felt cheated that they waited eagerly for Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Brennan to get together, and all they got for their time and investment was that epic first kiss.

While the kiss was worth the wait, fans expected Carly and Brennan to take their relationship to the next level; of course, with Mesure in the role, the chemistry between Carly and Brennan was off the charts.

Now fans are wondering whether the soap should cut its losses and elect not to pair Carly and Brennan...

When David S. Ward's "Major League" slid into multiplexes on April 7, 1989, a lot of people wrote it off as a pro baseball clone of the minor-league-set "Bull Durham." A wise veteran catcher (Tom Berenger) with bad knees looking down the barrel of a forced retirement? Check. A screwy rookie pitcher (Charlie Sheen) with a flamethrower for an arm and no semblance of control? Check. A superstitious slugger (Dennis Haysbert) who demands to sacrifice a live chicken to get him out of a hitting slump? Check.

The very existence of these familiar elements was enough for many of the nation's critics to dismiss "Major League" as a meatheaded comedy. Moviegoers did not concur. The film grossed $50 million in the U.S. on an $11 million budget, and earned an A- CinemaScore before turning into a home video/pay cable sensation. By the time the next baseball season rolled around, "Major League" was considered a full-fledged,...

If you wanted to work with the great Betty White at any point throughout her extraordinary 70-plus-year career, your best bet was to offer her a television gig. Starting with the talk show "Hollywood on Television" in 1949, White made the small screen, and America's living rooms, her home via sitcoms, game shows, and appearances on late night programs like "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson." White was a delightful presence with killer comedy timing, her secret weapon being that daffy persona that often bubbled over with surprisingly scalding wit. You never knew what was going to come out of White's mouth, and that made her one of the medium's unlikeliest stars (though her presence was once ratings poison for "Bones").

This isn't to say White didn't do movies. Her first credited appearance didn't arrive until 1962, when she played a U.S. Senator from Kansas in Otto Preminger's terrific "Advise and Consent.

41 years ago, HBO, then the most subscribed-to pay cable network in the United States, decided to expand its original programming (which consisted largely of stand-up comedy specials and boxing) with the uplifting, based-on-real-life film "The Terry Fox Story." Though it didn't set the world on fire, the movie did receive decent reviews, which gave competing premium cable channels the itch to try their hand at making movies of their own.

And so, in 1984, Showtime took a crack at film production with a zany comedy called "The Ratings Game." While this film was notable at the time for being the channel's first original movie, it's now most significant for being Danny DeVito's directorial debut. If this is the first you're hearing of "The Ratings Game," there's a good reason for that. It's a sporadically funny film based around a dated Nielsen ratings scam that's basically Mel Brooks' "The Producers" for television.

Kreskin (aka The Amazing Kreskin), the renowned mentalist who had his own TV programs in the 1970s, has died. He was 89.

Kreskin’s family announced the news in a statement posted on social media on Tuesday. “It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of The Amazing Kreskin, born George Kresge, at the age of 89,” the statement reads. “Performing for all of you brought immense joy to his life, and it was something he deeply cherished. The family kindly asks for privacy during this difficult time.”

From 1972 to 1975, Kreskin hosted the television series “The Amazing World of Kreskin,” which was broadcast in Canada on CTV and distributed in syndication in the U.S. He then entertained studio audiences with “The New Kreskin Show” from 1975 to 1977.

In his 1991 book “Secrets of the Amazing Kreskin,” he explained that he is “not a psychic, an occultist or fortune teller. I am not a mind reader,...

The Amazing Kreskin, the mentalist who became a popular television fixture in the 1970s, died Monday, his family announced. He was 89; his cause of death has not been made public.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of The Amazing Kreskin, born George Kresge, at the age of 89. Performing for all of you brought immense joy to his life, and it was something he deeply cherished. The family kindly asks for privacy during this difficult time,” his family said in a statement posted on social media.

Born George Kresge in Montclair, New Jersey in 1935, he died at his home in Caldwell, New Jersey, according to his manager.

When creating his act as a young man, he was inspired by the comic strip “Mandrake the Magician,” about a crime fighting illusionist. He would always insist that what he did involved no supernatural powers or real magic. “I am not a psychic,...

"Seinfeld" might've gone out on top of the Nielsen ratings in the spring of 1998, but it took the show five seasons to crack the top ten, in part because its network, NBC, couldn't make heads or tails of the series.

Jerry Seinfeld, who co-created the show with his stand-up comedy pal Larry David, was anything but edgy. He was an observational comic with a gently absurdist bent, pointing out all of humanity's little quirks and peccadilloes. He stopped by "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" frequently, and gradually became a mainstream-friendly stand-out amid the crowded 1980s stand-up scene.

So why did NBC struggle to identify its ratings-topping potential?

Because "Seinfeld" was edgy, mean even, and its serrated comedy was primarily the invention of David, whose shamelessness permeated the character of George Costanza (Jason Alexander). All four major characters on Seinfeld — Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer — were deeply selfish and generally unpleasant people.

Legendary comedic actress Teri Garr, known for her memorable supporting turns in films such as Young Frankenstein, Tootsie and Mr. Mom, died Tuesday following a long battle with multiple sclerosis. She was 79.

Garr died “surrounded by family and friends,” her spokesperson told People.

Teri Garr, the comic actress and singer who brought her buoyant personality to “Young Frankenstein” and was Oscar-nominated for “Tootsie,” died on Tuesday in Los Angeles after a long battle with Ms. She was 79.

An influential performer to comedians including Tina Fey, Garr was a familiar face in dozens of TV shows and films of the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s. The actress revealed in 2002 that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and she suffered an aneurysm in 2006.

After starting her career as a dancer, Garr first gained attention as Inga, the saucy assistant in Mel Brooks’ 1974 “Young Frankenstein,” who greeted Gene Wilder’s Dr. Frederick Frankenstein with the memorable “Vould you like to have a roll in ze hay?”

On “Friends,” she played Phoebe Abbot in three episodes in 1997 and 1998.

In Steven Spielberg’s “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” Garr was the wife of Richard Dreyfuss’ character. She...

"Seinfeld" was famously a grower in terms of popularity. The sitcom struggled in the Nielsen ratings throughout its first three seasons before rising in season 4 and, finally, becoming the juggernaut that it would continue to be until the gang called it quits at the end of season 9.

To get there, Seinfeld and co-creator Larry David had to tweak the formula a little to set the show apart from more amiable hit sitcoms like "Cheers" and "The Cosby Show." For folks familiar with Seinfeld's stand-up through his appearances on HBO comedy specials or "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson," this irascibility was surprising. Sometimes, the show got downright mean — never nastier than the dispatching of George's bride-to-be Susan (Heidi Swedberg) in the classic episode "The Invitations."

Seinfeld himself got more acerbic than he had been in his act, but, because he was not and has yet to be a versatile actor,...

‘General Hospital’ (Gh) spoilers reveal that Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) has had two significant relationships in her life for years: her ride-or-die Bff, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), and her ex-husband, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Sonny Coerced Carly Into Helping Him With An Alibi

Sonny recently shot and killed Agent John “Jagger” Cates (Adam Harrington) and coerced Carly into providing him with a less-than-believable alibi.

Sonny had the bright idea to pretend he and Carly hit the sheets in Tracy Quartermaine’s (Jane Elliot) bed during the murder.

When Sonny and Carly went downstairs, he pretended to adjust his clothes so everyone would think they had slept together.

Carly felt she had no choice but to go along with it. If she’s caught lying, she could get into serious trouble. To make matters worse, Killer Miller informed the pair that if they wanted to make this alibi look real,...

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers tease that Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) caused a scene at the Q mansion when they acted as if they did the deed in Tracy Quartermaine’s (Jane Eliott) bed. Which has by now been burned to the ground.

The act was all for show, but let’s break down what happened and why, and where this eye-opening act could lead. There’s never a dull moment in Port Chuck!

General Hospital spoilers – CarSon Fans Enthused

Sonny needed an alibi for John Cates’ (Adam J. Harrington) murder and Carly was his best bet. It was a dark and stormy night when Sonny dispensed some vigilante justice into Cates’ chest. Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) stumbled upon the morbid scene and eventually his mom Carly agreed to be her ex’s alibi.

Carly was in the main house when Sonny shot his enemy at the Q.

This past weekend, Jason Reitman’s Saturday Night premiered at the Telluride film festival, and has been mostly earning praise from critics, including some rumblings of possible Oscar contention. Although at least one review wasn’t so kind, calling it “109 minutes of tedious SNL cosplay.”

While much of the movie is being heralded for its apparent authenticity, as Vulture’s review revealed, there are a few moments that seem out of step with the historical record, including a scene in which Lorne Michaels receives a threatening phone call from Tonight Show host Johnny Carson, who calls the SNL producer a “benchwarmer” and “a stalking horse.”

Rolling Stone also noted in their review that the movie version of Michaels only landed the 11:30 p.m. Saturday night time slot “because NBC was beefing with Johnny Carson, and this was supposed to be the network’s way of gaining leverage in their negotiations with him.

With the exception of a few soap operas and public affairs programs, no TV show has been on the air longer than NBC’s Saturday Night Live, which will embark on its 50th season Sept. 28. And as we approach the 76th Emmys, which will take place just a few weeks before that, it is the most celebrated show in the history of that event. Indeed, SNL holds the records for most Emmy nominations with 341 (Game of Thrones is second with 159) and wins with 89 (GoT is second with 59). And Lorne Michaels, its creator and overseer for all but five of its seasons, holds the record for most Emmy noms for an individual with 106 (Sheila Nevins is second with 77) and has racked up the second most wins for an individual with 21 (behind only Nevins’ 31).

Given that history, it may be hard to feel sorry for SNL and Michaels when it comes to the Emmys — but this year,...

‘General Hospital’ (Gh) spoilers suggest that when it comes to soap opera couples, fans can sometimes be divided over who belongs with whom.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Carson Fans Want To See Them Reunite Pronto

Truer words were never spoken when it came to femme fatale Carly Spencer (Laura Wright). She would probably have chemistry with a cucumber if given a chance.

Carly is just one of those characters whom fans tend to root for despite her shortcomings. While some want to see Carly with her former flame, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), others swear Carly deserves better and should be with her ride-or-die bestie, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton).

With Sonny and Carly, one could argue that fans have been there, done that, and bought the T-shirt. However, there is also a reason they always seem to find their way back to each other.

No matter how much cheating, lying, and deception between them,...

When Bob Newhart died July 19 at the age of 94, the world lost one of the last remaining comedians of a certain era. Predating “Saturday Night Live” and more contemporary avenues for comedy, the Chicago-born master of dry, deadpan wit came up through stand-up sets in his city, growing into a familiar face in the ’60s with appearances on variety series such as “The Ed Sullivan Show” and “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In.” His debut live album “The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart” was what shot him into full superstar status, becoming the first comedy album to receive the Grammy for Album of the Year; a feat most comedians ever seem unlikely to repeat today.

Of course, nowadays Newhart is remembered most vividly not for his live work but as one of the great stars of the sitcom genre. He had two short-lived series (“Bob” and “George and Leo”) that sputtered after...

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers note that while Jack Brennan is a bonafide villain in the land of Port Charles, it’s hard for fans not to utterly adore the charming and handsome former Wsb head and Pikeman criminal.

While he’s in prison right now, everyone knows that anything is possible in daytime drama, and the prisoner could easily get an early release in the days and weeks to come.

Actor Charles Mesure recently spoke with Soap Opera Digest (Sod) to talk all things Jack Brennan, and the character’s love life came up.

General Hospital Spoilers – Possible Romantic Options For Jack Brennan

While talking to Sod, Mesure offered some hints as to who Jack could end up with, should a romantic opportunity come knocking.

Comic legend Bob Newhart has passed away at the age of 94. His longtime publicist, Jerry Digney, confirmed to the Hollywood Reporter that Newhart died in his Los Angeles home on Thursday, July 18, following a series of short illnesses. As a young man, Newhart served in the Korean War and briefly worked as an accountant, before switching careers and becoming the famous stand-up comedian and actor we've come to know and love.

He first came to prominence in 1960 with his comedy album, "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart," which he followed up with "The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back." His most famous recurring stand-up schtick was playing the straight man to an implied funny man, often pretend-talking on the phone and letting us imagine what the other person was saying. You can see this clearly in his famous routine, "Nobody Will Ever Play Baseball," where he plays a games manufacturer listening to Abner Doubleday,...

It’s a fine line between genius and madness, and an even thinner, barely visible gossamer thread that demarcates genius and being categorized as difficult. Faye Dunaway has been labeled both, though in a competition between those two descriptives, “difficult” often had a three-to-one lead. Most documentaries about legendary stars would sand off its subject’s rough edges and try to present the most hagiography-friendly version imaginable. Faye, much like the force of nature (note that we did not say maelstrom) at the center of this movie, takes a bumpier road less traveled.

Ruth Westheimer, who brought frank talk about sex into America’s living rooms for the first time as radio and television talk show host Dr. Ruth, has died. She was 96.

Westheimer died on Friday at her home in New York City, a spokesperson told the New York Times.

The diminutive educator with a thick German accent was known for dispensing explicit, down-to-earth advice on matters that weren’t previously discussed on-air.

Westheimer hosted at least five shows on Lifetime and other cable stations from 1984 to 1993, and wrote dozens of books on sex.

The college professor was already in her 50s when she started her radio show on New York radio station Wyny in 1980. She later said that being middle-aged probably helped her be accepted as an expert rather than a sex object, as discussing erotic pleasure was largely taboo on radio and television before her show.

Grab your quiver of trick arrows and prep a boxed Macaroni and Cheese pot because Kate Bishop and Clint Barton could return for Hawkeye Season 2. A target with a rumor at its bullseye is making the rounds today, with whispers of Marvel developing a follow-up to 2021’s Hawkeye series on Disney+. The rumor comes from industry scooper @MyTimeToShineH, who says Marvel plans to put Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop and Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton at the center of an outrageous plot with The Raid-like elements.

Okay. The last time someone told me something would feel like The Raid, we got 2021’s Mortal Kombat, which was fun, but saying it’s like The Raid is crazy talk. So, pardon me if I’m skeptical. Anyway, @MyTimeToShineH says Hawkeye has been renewed for a second season, with Clint’s brother, Barney, playing a significant role. “The season will be inspired by The Raid,...

General Hospital predictions wonder which lady Sonny Corinthos will wind up with after he recovers from his bipolar breakdown on the ABC soap opera.

Sonny Corinthos Out of Control on General Hospital

Currently, on Gh, Sonny Corinthos is in the middle of a bipolar spiral and getting worse by the day. He thinks he’s fine because he’s taking his medication as he should. However, he’s unaware that Valentin Cassadine is strong-arming his doctor into cutting his dosage down significantly.

Valentin needs Sonny to be erratic and irrational. That way, he can get him out of the way and take over his territory to move merchandise for Pikeman. So, Sonny is spiraling out and the people that know him best are suspicious. But, of course, he’s pushing them away on General Hospital.

Eventually, something so terrible is going to happen that he will be forced to get help.

Based on the 2013 novel by Lori Nelson Spielman, The Life List‘s logline is as follows: When Alex Rose’s (Carson) mother sends her on a quest to complete her childhood bucket list, it takes her on a journey that will make you both laugh and cry as she uncovers family secrets, finds romance, and discovers herself along the way.

Richard Lewis, the wild, eccentric, ultra-neurotic stand-up comedian and comic actor who most recently served as a semi-regular alongside Larry David on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” is dead. He was 76. Lewis suffered a fatal heart attack Tuesday night less than a year after announcing in April 2023 that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and was retiring from performing stand-up comedy. Lewis’ death was confirmed by his publicist Jeff Abraham, who noted, “His wife, Joyce Lapinsky, thanks everyone for the love, friendship and support and asks everyone for privacy at this time.”

He appeared this month on the 12th and final season of “Curb” after begging off of the show in its 11th season while recovering from a series of surgeries. But he wound up shooting a scene in an episode that year, anyway.

Bradford served as Carson’s head writer from 1970-75.

“As head writer on The Tonight Show, he was admired and beloved by his fellow writers for both his pitch-perfect sense of humor and his relatively-sane leadership style in a job (and profession) which tended toward the weird and chaotic,” Bradford’s family said in a prepared obituary. “Above his desk at The Tonight Show was a sign that read: ‘It left here funny.’”

Bradford later served as head writer for “The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers” between 1986 and 1987. He also wrote episodes for “Mash” and “Three’s Company.”

Before becoming a staff writer, Bradford began his career as a comic. He appeared at nightclubs and opened the show for...

Shecky Greene, the legendary standup comedian known for his long tenure as a Las Vegas headliner and for working with Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, died Dec. 31 at his home in the city. He was 97.

Greene’s wife of 41 years, Marie Musso Greene, confirmed his death to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Greene was a regular on the TV talk show and guest star circuit in his 1960s and ’70s heyday, when he often sported a comb-over haircut and wide-lapel suits. Earlier in his career, he came to represent the epitome of the Rat Pack-adjacent comedian in a tux, delivering lightly risque or edgy anecdotal stories and zingers on stage.

Greene was known for his many appearances on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” and for working as the opening act for Sinatra in Miami and Presley in Las Vegas. During the 1962-63 season, he played a recurring character on the...

When Byron Allen was just 14, he started doing stand-up comedy. Four years later, in 1979, he became the youngest comedian to appear on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.” It was a launching pad for an entertainment career that included a stint on “Real People,” a lead role in “Case Closed,” a TV movie he co-wrote and a syndicated late-night show bearing his name.

But all along, Allen had his eyes on a much bigger prize. “Growing up in Detroit, I was fascinated by Berry Gordy and Henry Ford,” says Allen. “I read about them and about John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie. They were my heroes. I studied them and knew I wanted to build something big and iconic. That was always my desire.”

That something proved to be Allen Media Group, which encompasses Entertainment Studios (founded 30 years ago as Cf Entertainment) and its expanding portfolio — the company owns 10 cable networks,...

Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel were always known for their brutal honesty when it came to film criticism. But the time they bashed “The Three Amigos” to Chevy Chase’s face once led to an unexpected realization about why people were drawn to their show.

This latest story appears in Matt Singer’s new book “Opposable Thumbs: How Siskel and Ebert Changed Movies Forever.” Ebert and Siskel appeared on the December 12 episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” in 1986. Chase was also a guest on the episode to promote his new Christmas comedy, “The Three Amigos.”

During the show, Carson asked the film critics to pick a movie “that is really so bad.” Ebert didn’t hesitate before slamming the very movie Chase was there to promote.

“I can’t really recommend ‘Three Amigos,'” Ebert said at the time, eliciting a round of boos from the audience. “It...

Chicago – When a smart and ambitious California girl moves from her “one horse town” to early 1970s Los Angeles, what better way to break into the show business than being an NBC-tv Studio Page for “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” and other programs of the era. Author Shelley Herman tells “My Peacock Tale.”

Ms. Herman recalls the almost impossible-to-imagine situations behind the scenes amidst a “who’s who” of 1970s entertainment culture. From a trip to see Elvis in Las Vegas that led to Shelley getting into the NBC-tv Page program to literally “breaking a leg” in an encounter that brought her an indelible moment with a musical hero, she also had an insider’s perspective on the historic feud between Joan Rivers and Johnny Carson (when Rivers left her “Tonight Show” gig for her own talk show). “My Peacock Tale” tells all in the interpersonal, professional, and emotional...

When it comes to inspiration for his new hosting job on Netflix's Easy-Bake Battle, Queer Eye's Antoni Porowski admits he looks more towards Ina Garten than he does Gordon Ramsay. Antoni has been Queer Eye's food and wine expert since the Queer Eye For The Straight Guy revival debuted on Netflix. While fans eagerly await the New Orleans-set Queer Eye season 7, Antoni has taken on a new role as the host of Easy-Bake Battle, eschewing his epicurean station on Queer Eye for that of culinary-competition judge and host.

In an interview with Et Canada, Antoni spoke about the icons he modeled himself after when going from expert to presenter for Easy-Bake Battle. The first suggestion during the interview was that Antoni looked to Gordon Ramsay for inspiration, which drew stunned disbelief from the Queer Eye host. Antoni explained that he cannot be Gordon because "I apologize for taking...

Kelly Carlin’s involvement in the HBO documentary “George Carlin’s American Dream” was essential to the entire project getting made. Her participation helped to get a lot of personal material of her father’s included in the final cut and also netted her credit as an executive producer of the project. If it ends up winning Best Documentary or Nonfiction Special at Saturday’s Creative Arts ceremony, she’ll be one of the people collecting an Emmy and in doing it will have done something her dad was never able to do.

While George Carlin did receive six career Emmy nominations for his stand-up specials, it took the TV Academy many years to nominate him in the first place. His first HBO special, “On Location: George Carlin at USC,” premiered on the pay network in 1977 but his first nomination wouldn’t come until 15 years later in 1992 with his eighth HBO special,...

The teenage comedian who built an empire; the media mogul who became an activist. Byron Allen, chairman and CEO of Allen Media Group (Amg) and Entertainment Studios, is a big thinker who takes his cues from the likes of Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller.

But it isn’t blind ambition that has pushed Allen to acquire 27 ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox network affiliate broadcast stations, 12 24-hour HD television networks, The Weather Channel, Black News Channel (which he folded into network and website The Grio), digital network HBCUGo and a number of online destinations. His professional conquests have always aligned with his personal goal of promoting racial equality. To enact change, you have to be at the top of the food chain.

“Don’t just play the game, own the game,” Allen told TheWrap for this week’s Office With a View.

NBC is considering handing over its 10 p.m. primetime programming hour to local stations, Variety has confirmed.

Insiders say that this conversation has happened multiple times over the past 10 years, and emphasize this is not the first time the option of ceding time to affiliates has been discussed at the broadcaster. Instead, this is just the most recent in ongoing explorations and it could lead to no changes at all.

Additionally, sources say NBCU is not mulling this as a cost-cutting move that would lead to less programming, but one that might be made to best utilize the broadcast brand and relationship with affiliates vs. its streaming and cable options.

It’s important to note that new speculation surrounding a 10 p.m. hour change, which comes just ahead of NBC launching its fall lineup Sept. 19, does not impact any new and returning series airing during that time period, at least for now.
