Jay Leno should have known what he was getting into when he told the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation that today’s comedy has become “just really political.” Comedians who clearly state their positions are alienating half their audiences, he complained. “Why not try to get the whole? I like to bring people into the big picture. I don’t understand why you would alienate one particular group — or just don’t do it at all... Just do what’s funny.”

The blowback was immediate. John Oliver heard the interview and decided, “I’m going to take a hard pass on taking comedic advice from Jay Leno.” And his old Daily Show partner, Jon Stewart, had no patience for Leno’s idea of avoiding “jokes about things you actually think.”

“The whole thing,” Stewart said, “is fucking ridiculous.”

Others, including Cracked, wasted no time reminding Leno that he’d made plenty of alienating,...

David Muir cemented himself as a TV news crush with one of his most recent Instagram uploads. The ABC World News Tonight host shared a picturesque snap of himself smiling while driving a boat via Instagram on Sunday, July 27. “Is it really nearly august already ,” he captioned the snap, in which he sported a navy polo shirt and black sunglasses for his day out on the water. Celebrities and fans flooded the post’s comments with their love for the photo. “Hello @gq,” Kelly Ripa wrote, to which Monica Lewinsky replied, “… but also yes!.” The Real Housewives of New York City alum Kelly Bensimon dropped several fire emojis in the comments section, while one fan wrote, “The camera loves you …and we do too! .” “What a stud.

Amanda Knox is looking to break free from the one thing that defines her — but first, as the actress playing her says in the trailer, she has to go back.

“Many people think they know my story. But now, finally, it’s my turn to tell it,” says Grace Van Patten in the role of Knox for Hulu’s forthcoming limited series The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.

In the first footage (below), the Tell Me Lies star makes her debut as Knox for the series that also boasts Knox as a producer behind the scenes, along with Monica Lewinsky.

Jay Leno believes that late-night shows such as the recently canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert lost their way when they started being too critical and “alienating” in their political humor, as opposed to the welcoming and uncontroversial way he called Monica Lewinsky a slut every night on national television.

Over the last few days, Leno’s recent and extremely poorly timed interview about the state of late night in 2025 has empowered the online right and enraged the left as the former Tonight Show host declared to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation that today’s late-night hosts are struggling because they picked sides in politics, unlike himself. In case the irony and hypocrisy of Leno claiming that partisanship ruins comedy in a conversation with the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation wasn’t nauseating enough in a vacuum, there’s also Leno’s long history of picking sides — usually conservative ones...

Jay Leno believes late-night TV comedians have become too politicized — and that they risk losing half the viewing audience by “cozying up to one side or the other.”

“To me, I like to think that people come to a comedy show to kind of get away from things, you know, the pressures of life, whatever it might be,” Leno said in a recent interview with David Trulio, president and CEO of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute. “Now you have to be content with half the audience because you have to give your opinion.”

Leno didn’t name names. But the current roster of late-night hosts — Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Jon Stewart, John Oliver, Seth Meyers and more — has routinely mocked President Trump and the Maga movement. To be fair, they have also opportunistically lampooned Democrats.

Leno’s impression is that late-night TV these days skews toward specific political viewpoints.

As Y2K nostalgia continues to dominate elements of Hollywood, one pop culture sensation of the era could make a comeback.

Following “a few false starts” over the years, Celebrity Deathmatch creator Eric Fogel recently discussed the possibility of rebooting his claymation series that originally ran on MTV from 1998 to 2002.

“That’s the beauty of the show — it’s timeless. These matches are iconic,” he told People. “You could literally open Google and type a few words, and you’ll get a whole bunch of new Celebrity Deathmatch ideas. It’s an evergreen concept.

“I was just browsing this morning. Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel hate each other. You know, Will Smith and Chris Rock probably still hate each other? Taylor Swift and Kanye West is still a match I’d like to visit in the ring. It feels like there are still some unresolved issues there.”

Fogel continued, “It’s such a fertile,...

Kesha reveals her beauty secret: a facial treatment with salmon sperm that promises radiant and rejuvenated skin.

Kesha recently surprised many by revealing one of the most unusual treatments she has tried to keep her skin glowing: salmon sperm. During an interview on the podcast Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky, the 38-year-old singer openly discussed her personal care routine, including this curious beauty technique that has gained popularity among celebrities.

In the middle of a conversation about her career, her relationship with her mother, and her new album titled . (Period), Kesha shared a detail that caught many people’s attention. Lewinsky casually mentioned that some people use salmon DNA as a facial treatment, to which Kesha immediately responded, “I’ve had salmon DNA on my face.”

Lewinsky, surprised, complimented her complexion: “Did you like it? Well, your skin looks beautiful.” Kesha, laughing, credited the results to this peculiar treatment: “Thank you.

For the duration of her years-long legal battle with Dr. Luke, Kesha lived in two separate realities cosplaying as one. In one, she was locked in litigation with the producer, born Lukasz Gottwald, who countersued her for defamation after her lawsuit alleging sexual, physical, and emotional abuse was dismissed largely on the grounds that they were too old. In the other, she was still handing over music to his label Kemosabe Records and performing songs that used her voice — which she had no legal rights to — for audiences full of fans and supporters.

Amanda Knox, bestselling author, journalist, and exoneree, announces the launch of her new podcast Hard Knox with Amanda Knox, a weekly show that explores the deep questions of how we survive—and grow—through life’s most disorienting challenges.

After five successful years producing the story-driven Labyrinths podcast, Knox is pivoting the focus to an ideas-first show where she engages with thinkers, artists, and survivors about resilience, meaning, and transformation. Each episode confronts the philosophical terrain of adversity—examining trauma, healing, stoicism, Zen, and the ethics of survival—with unflinching clarity, emotional intelligence and her trademark wit.

“After years of telling stories—my own and others’ —I realized I wanted to spend more time on the ideas underneath the narrative arcs," Knox says.

“Hard Knox is a space to think out loud about what hardship teaches us, what justice demands of us, and how we live with what we can’t undo.

What does it mean to be the President of the United States? Are you the leader of the free world, the responsible holder of the highest status in the land, a role model to one and all? Or are you a power-hungry despot, a selfish apex of broken ideals of exceptionalism and imperialism? Or is it somewhere in between? Or does it change from person to person?

These are big questions for a big office, questions that have been explored in various movies throughout the years. While there are a litany of interesting movie presidents in bangers like "Dave," "Idiocracy," and "Fail Safe," some of our most direct interrogations have come when filmmakers and performers set their sights on the real-life rulers, donning prosthetics and turning history into drama.

So turn in your ballots and enroll in those electoral colleges. These are the 12 best movies about presidents, ranked. Some of them criticize,...

“Tell me everything,” Barbara Walters used to urge her TV guests. She believed she could coax the truth out of anyone, whether revered or disgraced, and so did her viewers.

Her confidence would be challenged today when every fragment of news, even neighborhood trivia, disappears in a blur of distrust. Since viewers no longer believe what they hear, she’d wonder, might her interviewees become too constrained about what they say?

President Trump distrusts the news media so intensely he limits his announcements to his website, even when they’re nakedly bogus (“lasting disarmament”?) .

If that revered truth-teller Walter Cronkite were alive today it’s doubtful whether even he could cast a clear focus on Gaza or Tehran, on Zelenskyy or Netanyahu. Frustrated, he might even unleash AI on Ice just to see what emerges.

Media reporting on immigration purges is so distrusted that entire new layers of fact-finders have...

The teaser trailer for The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox sees Grace Van Patten as Amanda Knox, fighting for her life.

The series is based on Knox’s harrowing journey to prove her innocence and regain her freedom after being wrongfully imprisoned for her roommate’s murder. Knox, a Seattle native, was studying abroad in Italy at the time. After being initially convicted for murder in 2007, she was later acquitted by Italy’s highest court in 2015.

“Many people think they know my story, but now it’s my turn to tell it,” Van Patten’s Knox can be heard saying in the footage (below), which debuted during game five of the NBA Finals on Monday.

“A limited series inspired by the story of how Amanda Knox was wrongfully convicted for the tragic murder of her roommate, Meredith Kercher, and her 16-year odyssey to set herself free,” the show’s logline reads.

The documentary Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything is a film much like its subject: sharp, uncomfortably direct, and possessed of a ferocious intelligence that refuses to settle for simple answers. It presents a life that was a constant negotiation between a public persona of empathetic inquiry and a private reality of steel-willed ambition.

Here was a woman who did not just report on the seismic cultural shifts of the 20th century; she was one of them, a genuine trailblazer who shattered the stained-glass ceiling of broadcast news with methodical determination.

Yet the film does not sanitize its subject. It understands that the same person who could disarm a dictator with a disarmingly human question could also maintain a perplexing, decades-long friendship with the political fixer Roy Cohn.

The film sets its hook not by promising a tribute, but by promising a full accounting of a deeply complicated and significant American figure.

A documentary is shedding light on Barbara Walters’ early career, and it’s not the inspiring story you might expect. While she went on to become one of the most respected journalists in television history, her big break at NBC came for a surprising reason. Apparently, NBC hired her not because of her talent or potential, but solely because she came at a low cost.

Well, this was definitely a startling contrast to the legacy she eventually built, further reminding us how often success stories begin in unexpected ways. Let’s dive deeper!

The truth behind Barbara Walters’ first big break at NBC

Barbara Walters is remembered as a television legend, known for being a fearless interviewer who sat across from presidents, movie stars, and royalty. But a new documentary, Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything via USA Today, reveals that her journey to the top wasn’t as glamorous as many believed.

It’s a familiar routine: Famous person dies and each network’s news division works quickly to cobble together (or finish off) a tribute special that answers a few basic questions — “Why was this person significant?” mostly — in a satisfying way that can be delivered within days of the death.

Tribute packages like that aren’t really “documentaries,” but they serve a valuable purpose for grieving or simply curious fans.

The problem with Jackie Jesko’s new documentary Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything, premiering at Tribeca ahead of a Hulu launch, is that for much of its 95-minute run, it feels exactly like one of those immediately posthumous overviews.

Especially in its first half, Tell Me Everything tries to emulate the iconic television journalist by guiding audiences through basic information, and eventually asking the tough questions, or at least touching on provocative issues. But it only rarely pushes deeper than hero worship.

Miley Cyrus is reflecting on a scandal that lost her a major movie role!

The 32-year-old singer and actress appeared on the Tuesday (June 10) episode of Monica Lewinsky‘s Reclaiming podcast. During her episode, she opened up about trying to move past being a Disney Channel star and the challenges she faced in her career.

Keep reading to find out more…

According to Miley, she had been cast as Mavis Dracula in the animated film Hotel Transylvania. When photos at her then-boyfriend Liam Hemsworth‘s birthday party went viral, she says she was fired from the role. The role eventually went to Selena Gomez.

“I, as a joke, got my boyfriend a penis cake for his birthday and I got fired,” Miley said on the podcast episode. “I was the lead actress in Hotel Transylvania, and they fired me and replaced me because I had made an inappropriate, adult joke.

Barbara Walters didn’t set out to become a pioneer for females in media. The legendary broadcast journalist and “The View” creator was simply trying to survive as a woman in a male-dominated industry.

“She’s mentioned in the same sentence as feminist icons, but she wasn’t a crusader. She wasn’t Gloria Steinem,” says Jackie Jesko, the director of “Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything,” which premieres on Thursday at Tribeca Festival. “She wasn’t doing it for other women. She was doing it for herself.”

That doesn’t make Walters — whose career took off at NBC as the first female co-host of “Today” and shaped history again at “ABC Evening News” as the first female (and highest-paid) network news anchor — any less of a trailblazer.

“We shouldn’t require that of our feminist icons,” the director says. “She made it possible for other women, and she loved that once she realized it,...

Miley Cyrus has been an absolute icon ever since she stepped into the entertainment industry as the wide-eyed Miley Stewart in Hannah Montana. It didn’t take long for the singer to build herself a fanbase that stretched across continents, but things took a turn for her in 2013, with the release of her highly controversial album, Bangerz.

Bangerz was a complete 180 from the image fans were so used to. While I’d say the songs were bangers on their own, it was her provocative image that received criticism from some Og fans. Now, Miley Cyrus is opening up about how that era affected her personally, causing trouble back home and in her love life.

Miley Cyrus addressed the long-rumored divide within her family during an episode of Monica Lewinsky’s podcast, Reclaiming, saying she made a purposeful effort to mend the broken relationships after a “dark” decade.

Cyrus explained that after her parents’ divorce in 2022, “half of [her family members] weren’t speaking to each other” — and things were so bad that they were past the point of needing therapy.

“We’re so messy, we didn’t even do any of that,” she said, reflecting on the aftermath of her parents’ long, rocky relationship. “Just to get...

It’s no secret that Sophia Bush did not leave Chicago Pd and the One Chicago franchise on the best of terms. Bush departed the series after four seasons of playing Detective Erin Lindsay on NBC’s hit police drama, and it’s honestly amazing that she stuck with the show for as long as she did, considering everything she had to endure behind the scenes.

Bush has opened up about her experience on the show before, but her newest comments paint a truly heartbreaking picture of just how rough things were for the beloved actress.

During a recent appearance on Monica Lewinsky's podcast, Reclaiming, Bush opened up about how her bucket list show brought about a traumatic experience where she experienced "every kind of abuse.”

“I was in this great place [after One Tree Hill], and I was ready for what was next. And I did this comedy that I loved … for CBS.

One Tree Hill and Chicago P.D. star Sophia Bush has emotionally reflected on the abuse she suffered on the set of one of her shows. Bush shot to global fame in her breakout role of Brooke Davis in the CW smash-hit teen drama One Tree Hill, before a starring turn as Erin Lindsay in Chicago P.D., and a recurring role as Dr. Cass Beckman in Grey's Anatomy season 21. She also co-hosts the podcast Drama Queens, with former One Tree Hill co-stars Bethany Joy Lenz and Hilary Burton.

In a recent interview on Monica Lewinsky's podcast Reclaiming (via YouTube), Bush opened up on her traumatic experiences on the set of a show she doesn't specifically name. Bush details that she received "every kind of abuse" from an older man during her time on one of her shows. Bush discusses her time on One Tree Hill, and her first experience of workplace trauma,...

Actress Sophia Bush alleged she was was on the receiving end of “every kind of abusive” treatment while filming a television show.

The One Tree Hill veteran made the claims during an episode of Monica Lewinsky’s podcast Reclaiming that was released Tuesday.

While Bush did not name the show, she gave several context clues (such as the date she left the series) so that one might assume she was talking about her years on NBC’s hit procedural Chicago P.D., where she played Detective Erin Lindsay. She left the show after 84 episodes and has previously described it as a grueling experience.

“I was in this great place [after One Tree Hill], and I was ready for what was next,” Bush said. “And I did this comedy that I loved … for CBS. Then I went to work on this other show that was on my bucket list and then I had this whole other trauma.

There is a very basic (and very dumb) question right at the heart of MTV's 1998 animated series "Celebrity Deathmatch": Who would win in a fight? It was a series based very directly on conversations held while extremely high while talking about one's favorite/least favorite celebrities, and who would best whom in hand-to-hand combat. "Celebrity Deathmatch" visualized such fights in a well-organized, animated pro-wrestling ring, where the celebrities in question could outwardly murder each other. For anyone who has ever taken a big bong rip and asked, "You think Marilyn Manson could take Charles Manson in a fight?", "Celebrity Deathmatch" was the series for you. 

The series was created by Eric Fogel, who had created the MTV animated series "The Head" (the one that aired with "The Maxx"), and the pairings he and his writers invented were often ingenious. The fight between Penn & Teller and Siegfried & Roy is a fun one.

While accepting a Gracie award for her work on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” Molly McNearney took the opportunity to directly address the pressure women often face to look perfect.

“I’m not saying this for sympathy. Jesus, do not give me sympathy,” McNearney said Tuesday night at the 50th annual Gracie Awards held at The Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire Hotel. “You might be feeling the same [insecurity] right now, and I need us to realize together — close your ears — it doesn’t fucking matter! It doesn’t matter. We’re all too hard on ourselves. We’re gonna take all this off in a couple hours, unless you’re married to Jimmy Kimmel.”

Hosted by actor and comedian Fortune Feimster, the evening celebrated this year’s winners chosen by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation, which honors women’s voices in media. Top winners included “Dune: Prophecy,” Cristin Milioti, Kathy Bates and Megan Thee Stallion,...

Steve Martin is clearly a man of many talents. He’s a stand-up comedian, an actor, a Grammy-winning musician and hands down the world’s greatest cat juggler.

Martin is also an accomplished writer. In addition to penning the screenplays for several of his films, including Roxanne and L.A. Story, he has a long list of published works consisting of essays, short fiction and novels. Most of his writing has been collected and re-published in the new book Steve Martin Writes the Written Word, including his 2000 novella Shopgirl. Somehow Martin resisted the urge to edit out the scene in which a woman risks a Uti by shaving her pubic hair with toilet water.

One story that may be of particular interest to comedy fans is Martin’s condensed script for a nonexistent episode of I Love Lucy. But unlike most episodes of the classic show, this one is all about oral sex.

Monica Lewinsky has something to say to Halle Berry!

Alex Cooper, the star of the hit podcast Call Her Daddy, is a golf widow on weekends, but she’s making it work as she expands her empire into television.

“I’m obsessed with reality TV. My poor husband. Well, actually not my poor husband, Matt, you’re fine. He golfs every Sunday, and I have 19 hours to binge [TV]. Obviously, there’s nothing better than sitting down and binging The Bachelor or whatever show you’re about to watch. I have been obsessed with reality TV all the way back to Laguna Beach, like, bitch, I’ve been there in that sh*t, and I loved it, and I am now excited to be able to produce something myself,” she said.

Cooper was speaking with Rob Mills, EVP, Unscripted and Alternative Entertainment, Walt Disney Television, at Hulu’s Get Real event, which brought together all of its reality talent.

Molly Ringwald’s candid remarks on why the 1985 classic The Breakfast Club should not get a remake have sparked a backlash after the actress claimed that the movie lacks the diversity needed to resonate with today’s audience.

Starring alongside an ensemble cast, including Emilio Estevez, Paul Gleason, Anthony Michael Hall, and Judd Nelson, Ringwald portrayed the role of Claire Standish, a spoiled, wealthy girl in the movie. However, despite its high acclaim and enduring popularity, she defined the movie as racist and sexist, stirring controversy as it celebrates its 40th anniversary.

As you start to look through the list of Ryan Murphy shows, you’ll find that there are way more than you initially thought. He’s the man behind Glee, Scream Queens, American Horror Story, and so much more. There’s simply no way that you can watch everything in a short space of time, and there are some shows just not as good as others.

How do you know if something is worth watching or skipping, though? After all, something can seem great from the premise, but then you get into two episodes and realize that it’s just not what was promised. The good news is I’ve watched the majority of his shows now, and I can tell you the ones that just don’t quite hit the mark. I have the four that you definitely want to watch, and the three that are just worth skipping.

Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual assault victim, Virginia Giuffre, is still at Perth Hospital in Australia more than ten days after she was involved in a car accident in which she was hit by a bus.

Virginia Giuffre Said She’s Gone Into Kidney Failure

Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked as a teenager by known sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to have sex with Prince Andrew, claimed the doctors told her she only had four days to live.

She said she had gone into kidney failure and was being transferred to a specialist in urology. She revealed a selfie from her hospital bed, disclosing her severely bruised face.

However, since then, the bus driver, multiple witnesses, and the Australian police have come forward to state that the accident wasn’t nearly as severe as she had claimed it was.

Veteran BBC journalist David Dimbleby interviewed Bill Clinton for TV in 2004 and enraged the former US president with questions about his denial of his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

This weekend, Dimbleby – who was for a long time the BBC’s premier broadcaster of public events including general elections and royal ceremonies – shared that he had raised the subject of oral sex with Clinton to win a bet with a friend. The broadcaster told The Times newspaper about why he had asked Clinton – who initially denied sexual relations with Lewinsky – whether oral sex did not count as sexual relations.

“That was a bet actually, the oral sex thing,” Dimbleby revealed. “A friend of mine said, ‘I bet you a bottle of champagne you won’t ask him about that.’ And I said, ‘I bet you do.’ It didn’t go down too well.”

During the interview for the BBC’s flagship current affairs show Panorama,...

Before John Hughes ever met young Molly Ringwald, he wrote the screenplay for Sixteen Candles while staring at her headshot. Flattering? Yes. Creepy? Also yes.

The two shared an agent, and Hughes chose her picture to inspire his new script. “Over the Fourth of July weekend, he put that up on his bulletin board above his computer station,” Ringwald told Monica Lewinsky on a recent episode of her Reclaiming podcast. “And he wrote this movie. When it came time to cast it, they said, ‘Who do you want?’ He said, ‘The girl that I wrote this about.’ And so we met.”

How did the teenager feel about being a grown man’s muse? “He told me that story, but when you’re that age, I had nothing really to compare it to,” Ringwald said. “I mean, I’d done more movies actually than John had at that point. But I was still only 15 years old.

Exclusive: Rebecca Wisocky (Ghosts), Joe Lanza (The Americans) and Crosby Fitzgerald (Palm Royale) are set for key recurring roles opposite Grace Van Patten and Sharon Horgan in Hulu‘s Amanda Knox limited series.

Amanda is based on the true story of how Amanda Knox was wrongfully convicted for the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher and her 16-year odyssey to set herself free.

Wisocky will play Cecilia, an American in prison who moves into Amanda’s (Van Patten) cell to take care of her. Lanza portrays Chris Mellas, Amanda’s stepdad who found love later in life with Edda (Horgan) and is a strong presence in Amanda’s life.

Monica Lewinsky stated that former President Bill Clinton should have dealt with the aftermath of their affair by resigning. “When you look back once the news broke and how everything was handled by media and the White House, how do you think it should have been handled,” the podcast host Alex Cooper asked Lewinski. “Have you thought about that?”

“I think that the right way to handle a situation like that would have been to probably say it was, you know, nobody’s business and to resign, you know, or to find a way – to find a way of staying in office that was not lying and not throwing a young person who was just starting out in the world under the bus,” Lewinsky declared.

“And at the same time, I’m hearing myself say that, and it’s like, Ok, but we’re also talking about the most powerful office in the world,...

Monica Lewinsky is reflecting on her treatment in the media, including late night hosts like Jay Leno.

The 51-year-old activist and author spoke out in the latest episode of Call Her Daddy, out now, and addressed backlash and jokes at the time when she was embroiled in the affair scandal with then-President Bill Clinton, who was her 49-year-old boss at the time when she was a 22-year-old intern in the White House.

“The men told a lot of jokes, right? So, the late night hosts,” she began.
