Michael Keaton is hosting Saturday Night Live on October 19. The Oscar nominee has been getting lots of attention for reprising his iconic title character in the sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and is a choice selection to host after three previous appearances.
Keaton has the comedic chops to be an SNL cast member, but he never actually auditioned. There was, however, a cast member from the original Beetlejuice film who did audition for the show, and was promptly turned down.

Several of the film's more overtly comedic cast members come to mind. Catherine O'Hara and Jeffrey Jones seem like viable candidates. Alec Baldwin is one of the most beloved hosts in SNL history, so he too would make sense. The only Beetlejuice star who auditioned for Saturday Night Live, however, was Geena Davis.

The new iteration of “The Office” at Peacock has found four more cast members.
Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Tim Key, and Eric Rahill have all joined the untitled series. They join previously announced cast members Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Melvin Gregg, Chelsea Frei, and Ramona Young.
Ikumelo, Edelman, and Rahill will also be writers on the series in addition to appearing onscreen. Exact character details are being kept under wraps. Ikumelo recently won the BAFTA Award for female performance in a comedy program for “Black Ops,” while Edelman just won an Emmy and Special Tony award for his comedy show “Just for Us.”
As has been previously reported, the show is not a reboot or spinoff of “The Office,” but rather a new mockumentary show with a new cast set in the same universe. It is rumored to be currently titled “The Paper” but no official title has been announced.

Before she was starring in movies, hosting her own talk show and publicly feuding with garbage people, Rosie O’Donnell began her career in show business as a stand-up comedian. In fact, back in the ‘80s, she won Star Search five times.
But as O’Donnell just recounted on David Duchovny’s Fail Better podcast, her first attempt at stand-up didn’t go so well — mainly because she ripped off another comedian’s entire act.
O’Donnell only became a comic after Richie Minervini, then the owner of The East Side Comedy Club on Long Island, approached her after witnessing the teenager get big laughs during a high school performance. (Note to any modern club owners out there: Randomly approaching minors following school productions probably wouldn’t fly anymore.) Minervini told O’Donnell: “I own a comedy club, I think you’d be a great stand-up comic.”

Exclusive: Coming off a two-season run on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, Molly Kearney has been tapped to star in CBS’ single-camera comedy pilot Dmv, from Dana Klein, Kapital Entertainment, TrillTV and CBS Studios. As they make the transition from late-night to primetime with Dmv, Kearney is joining another SNL alum, Tim Meadows, who had been previously cast in the pilot alongside Colin From Accounts co-creator and star Harriet Dyer.
Prolific comedy director Trent O’Donnell (Ghosts) is set to direct and executive produce the Dmv pilot, written by Klein based on author Katherine Heiny’s short story.
Dmv is a workplace comedy set at the place everyone dreads going most: the Dmv. Our quirky and lovable characters are making minimum wage, doing a thankless job where customers are annoyed before they even walk in the door. Good thing they have each other.

Tom Hanks – a name that immediately evokes warm, honey-flavored feelings of comfort and delight when it comes to the world of show business and entertainment. Pair that with Steven Spielberg and you get an Oscar-winning, Emmy-grabbing work of art that can cast a mile-long shadow over every other project coming out of the studio lineup in the same year.
In 1998, the iconic actor-director duo made history by marrying their talents in Saving Private Ryan after an incredible lot of hemming and hawing. Like us mortals, Spielberg and Hanks too were afraid of ruining a good friendship by adding business into the mix. But like all functional relationships, their adventure stood the test of time, though not without a few disagreements first.

How would you define “locked in”? Sure, we know it’s a matter of staying focused on the task and letting nothing get in your way. But how would we describe that in movies and TV? What examples would you give? Well, in a recent social media trend, fans are putting their money on some of the biggest names in the history of entertainment.
Last week, X user jayjjalen asked followers to “define ‘locked in’”, resulting in millions of views and thousands of replies. The real catch here is that the “locked in” phase must have been consecutive and uninterrupted. In other words, if there was one slip-up via a box office bomb or creative flop, it doesn’t count – that is, they weren’t truly “locked in.”

Matt and Ross Duffer struck gold when they created the supernatural drama Stranger Things for Netflix. That series is set in the 1980s, a period the Duffers are clearly enamored with. The show is coming to an end with a final season to air hopefully next year, but the brothers have other irons in the fire, including a new Netflix show called The Boroughs.
The Duffers will only be involved in a producing capacity; showrunning duties will fall to Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, the guys behind the canceled-too-soon series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Ben Taylor will direct several episodes including the pilot, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
But I still see the Duffers' fingerprints all over this show, which is about "a group of unlikely heroes" living in a retirement community who must "band together to stop an otherworldly threat from stealing the one thing they don't have — time.

"A League of Their Own" was one of those movies that always seemed to be airing on cable when I was growing up -- and I mean always. It's not a dad movie, per se; technically, its nearly all-women cast makes it the opposite of one. Yet, it hits a lot of the same pleasure centers. It even stars America's Dad himself, Tom Hanks! At the time, though, the actor was coming off a string of box office misfires and was far from the national treasure that he is today. Hence, he asked his old buddy Penny Marshall -- who had directed him in the 1988 hit "Big" (a problematic fantasy-comedy that I still have a soft spot for) four years earlier -- to cast him in "A League of Their Own," hoping it would change his fortunes. And boy, did it ever.

A little piece of Hollywood history is gonna. The baseball field where A League Of Their Own and several other movies were filmed was decimated in a fire overnight. Just before midnight on Thursday, it was reportedly engulfed in flames. The 1930s ballpark was unable to be saved and there is an investigation underway. Here are the details.
Jay Littleton Ball Park Goes Up In Flames
Local reports say that the fire started at the Jay Littleton Ball Park in Ontario, California around 11:30 p.m. Firefighters responded to the scene, but the historic ballpark was already engulfed in flames.
The fire seemed to originate from the stadium and dugout, which was featured in films like A League Of Their Own. Unfortunately, nothing could be done to save the ballpark.

Tom Hanks’ A League of Their Own character famously said, “There’s no crying in baseball,” but folks might make an exception today. A baseball park east of Los Angeles that has been a popular filming location for movies and TV shows was badly damaged in a fire overnight.
Along with the Penny Marshall-directed 1992 pic that starred Hanks, Geena Davis, Rosie O’Donnell, Madonna and Lori Petty, the park also has hosted film shoots for such features as the 1988 Charlie Sheen-John Cusack Black Sox movie Eight Men Out and the 1992 biopic The Babe starring John Goodman as Babe Ruth. It also has been used for numerous TV commercials, the city said.
The blaze was reported around 11:30 p.m. Thursday at Jay Littleton Ball Park in Ontario. An Ontario Fire Department spokesperson told Key News Network that the fire was fully involved when the crews reached to the scene.

Queer film fans in Los Angeles are feeling the summer void left by the beloved Outfest, which paused its programming last year amid financial issues and staff layoffs and has yet to resume. But a new film series, called Queer Rhapsody, looks to fill that crater across five venues July 19-28 — and with curation from the UCLA Film and Television Archive and one of Outfest’s former own. Even if they aren’t looking just to replace the 40-year-long legacy of L.A.’s oldest film festival. Plus, Queer Rhapsody is decidedly a series, not a festival.
With a focus on liberating narratives and a program of more than 50 narrative and documentary features and shorts, Queer Rhapsody opens at the Hammer Museum’s Billy Wilder Theater with Drew Denny’s “Second Nature.” Narrated by Elliot Page, the documentary follows trans trailblazer and evolutionary biologist Dr. Joan Roughgarden, who meets with...

Music icon Madonna is no stranger to the film side of entertainment. The singer would crossover into movies on many occasions, including starring in a variety of projects like Body of Evidence, A League of Their Own and Dick Tracy. For a time, she would even be married to director Guy Ritchie, who she made a film with called Swept Away. In the past few years, Madonna had been reportedly developing a biopic about herself in which she would be in the rare position to both write and direct. Early last year, the project would not come together and she scrapped the project just ahead of her world tour.
Deadline is now reporting that the 80s pop icon teased on her Instagram that the project is once again in development. Madonna posted a slideshow that featured a series of pictures of her working on a typewriter and her table is littered with screenplay pages.

Legend has it that every turning point in American history was marked by the presence and influence of an elusive and mythical Forrest Gump. Tom Hanks’s 1994 film, directed by the legendary Robert Zemeckis, was powerful enough to move souls and shape ideas even decades after its critically acclaimed release.

Although Forrest Gump developed into an instant classic and a global phenomenon upon release, the film was shrouded in troubled production and studio politics at the time of its making. From problems related to the rights to the IP to slashing of the film’s budget, the uphill battle that Hanks and Zemeckis weathered to get Forrest Gump on the road is a tale in and of itself.

Tom Hanks has been one of the most celebrated actors in the industry, with his performances in numerous acclaimed films like Forrest Gump and Cast Away. However, his career took a turn for good in the 1990s, when he earned acclaim for his movies like A League of Their Own and Sleepless in Seattle.

The latter was a huge blockbuster and is still considered to be one of the most successful romantic comedy films of all time, marking the beginning of Hanks’ modern era of filmmaking. However, that might not have happened, as the filmmakers initially considered Dennis Quaid to star alongside his ex-wife.
Tom Hanks Almost Lost His Sleepless in Seattle Role to Dennis Quaid
Director Nora Ephron initially set her sights on casting Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in the 1993 romantic comedy. However, the script and storyline underwent changes with various directors and actors involved during that period.

With prominent supporting roles in classics like “A League of Their Own” and “Dick Tracy,” as well as the lead in the screen adaptation of the musical “Evita,” Madonna’s film career is well-established, but might never have happened without her star turn in the 1985 cult comedy “Desperately Seeking Susan.” A modern farce set in the scuzzy beauty of ‘80s New York City, the film follows a straight-laced housewife and a bohemian drifter who become intertwined in a criminal plot involving a pair of stolen earrings. While the film is led by actress Roseanna Arquette, it quickly became known as the “Madonna movie,” with her character’s fashion sense — which mirrored Madonna’s own — and her free-spirit energy coming to define the popular culture of the era.

As a kid growing up in the nineties, a movie that always got a ton of play in my household was Penny Marshall’s A League of Their Own. I have fond memories of seeing it in theaters as a ten-year-old in the summer of 1992, and it’s a movie I only revisit from time to time. So, I’m pretty happy to hear that my next revisit will be in glorious 4K, with Sony revealing that the movie’s coming out on 4K disc this September, with a fully loaded special edition.
For those who may not remember the film, it’s based on the real-life All-American Girls Baseball League, which sprung up during World War II, as most male players were overseas fighting the war. In the film, Geena Davis (in an iconic performance) plays Dottie Hinson, who, along with her sister Kit (Lori Petty), becomes a star player for the Rockford Peaches.

If one were to rank all the major streaming services by queerness, Amazon Prime Video would be a pretty tough one to pin down.
On the one hand, you have to give credit where credit is due: One of the service’s very first stabs at original programming was “Transparent,” which in turn was one of the first shows to star a trans main character. That show now has a lot of baggage, but it’s hard to its understate historical significance.
Beyond the thorny topic of “Transparent,” Prime Video does have a good track record of releasing shows with LGBTQ characters and centering their narratives on queer themes; in particular, many of their shows focus on queer women, refreshingly avoiding the centering of gay men that defined queer TV for decades. This spring, the streamer dropped a phenomenal limited series retelling of David Cronenberg’s “Dead Ringers,” starring Rachel Weisz as twin lesbian gynecologists.

Tom Hanks is known as the ‘Dad of Hollywood’ due to his penchant for choosing good-guy roles in his movies. The actor has worked with acclaimed directors such as Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Robert Zemeckis, and more in his extensive filmography. He even won the Oscar twice in a row for his performances in Philadelphia and Forrest Gump.
Having established himself as a legendary actor in Hollywood history, Hanks has extensive knowledge in performing and even gave a small exercise for this generation’s most beloved ‘Tom’, Tom Holland. The Spider-Man: Homecoming star was given an exercise that tested his skills by the veteran actor while on The Graham Norton Show.

“Let’s face it, I had a bad script,” director Michael Bay said on the commentary track of his debut feature film, Bad Boys. Bay isn’t wrong. Bad Boys relies on buddy comedy tropes already established in 1974’s Freebie and the Bean and 1982’s 48 Hrs., complete with nonsense plot points. “But I had real comic talent in my two stars.” Bay of course means Martin Lawrence and Will Smith. Drawn from the popular sitcoms Martin and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Lawrence and Smith saved the movie from the clunky script with their easy chemistry and comic timing.
At one point, however, Bad Boys had two very different stars in mind with a comic chemistry unlike that of Lawrence and Smith.

Madonna‘s movie A League of Their Own received a warm reception from audiences. On the other hand, the “Like a Prayer” singer publicly criticized the movie. She didn’t think it lived up to two classic movies that she considered works of art. However, the Queen of Pop didn’t completely dismiss A League of Their Own.
Madonna said ‘A League of Their Own’ ‘candy-coated’ a fascinating story
A League of Their Own is loosely based on the history of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which paved the way for a lot of women’s sports leagues. During a 1992 interview with The Guardian, the Material Girl said the film reified the concept of the American Dream. She was asked if the movie was “phony.” “It depends on who’s telling the story,” she said. “There are people that have their own views of America.

Madonna is the Queen of Pop, but she generally wasn’t the Queen of Movies. For every hit like Evita she starred in, the Material Girl starred in four or five embarrassing flops.

The writing for the cancellation has been on the wall. Despite rave reviews, High School last aired in October 2022 with the formal decision to cancel the show coming nearly two years after the fact.
Sources say Amazon-owned Freevee wanted to renew High School for a second season, with executives in late 2022 expressing enough optimism for showrunner Clea DuVall to open a mini-room to craft a sophomore run. Ultimately, sources say the completion rate for High School left Freevee and Amazon execs little choice but to cancel the series despite the fact that scripts for an entire second season had already been completed.

It can be extremely disappointing to get into a show only to have it canceled. But the more competition there is among TV networks, streaming platforms and production companies, the harder they are on shows that don't seem to bring in nearly enough viewers to be considered profitable.
Unfortunately, many great TV shows are overlooked today simply because they're cut too early. So, if you are willing to brace yourself and deal with the fact that you may never know the true finale, here are 8 amazing series that are worth every minute spent in front of the TV.
Firefly (2002-2003)
It's hard to say that the cancellation was unjustified, as Firefly premiered to very low ratings. However, it wasn't even given a chance to intrigue viewers, as the show was misadvertised and the network decided to air episodes out of order, making it difficult for viewers to get into the story.
