Erin O’Malley, a veteran television producer and director who worked on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “New Girl,” has signed with CAA for representation.

O’Malley started her career on Larry David’s HBO sitcom as a co-producer on its third season. She stayed on through Season 8, working her way up to producer and then executive producer. O’Malley returned to the series for Season 10 as a director and scored a best director of a comedy series nomination at the DGA Awards.

She continued to work with some of comedy’s most prominent voices, producing Sacha Baron Cohen’s HBO series “Da Ali G Show” and Comedy Central’s “The Sarah Silverman Program.” Plus, O’Malley climbed the ladder at “New Girl,” moving up from a producer to co-executive producer to an executive producer across seven seasons of the Zooey Deschanel-led sitcom. She also directed 10 episodes of the Fox comedy.

Frank Baum's 1900 children's novel "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" has had an incredible life well beyond its original intent. First, there was a Broadway musical adaptation in 1902, and then in 1939, it was adapted into the film "The Wizard of Oz" starring Judy Garland. Since then, there have been numerous excellent and unique reinterpretations of Baum's story, ranging from 1978's "The Wiz" (a movie musical featuring an all-Black cast) to the wildly successful "Wicked" franchise based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, which has since given rise to a major musical film version starring Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Jeff Goldblum. "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" is wildly adaptable because of its rather simple plot structure and hugely recognizable elements, and since it's been in the public domain since 1956, people have had a lot of time to create their own visions of this classic fantasy adventure.

Indeed, there have...

Jonathan Scott is sharing an update on his and Zooey Deschanel‘s wedding planning.

If you didn’t know, the 47-year-old HGTV star and the 45-year-old New Girl actress got engaged in August 2023 after four years of dating while on a family vacation in Scotland.

In a new interview, Jonathan explained why he and Zooey haven’t started planning for their wedding yet.

“So no, we have not actually made any plans yet, which, it’s been two years now since I proposed,” Jonathan added.

Exclusive: Hot on the trail of a strong weekend opening of The Naked Gun, the ’80s prime time procedural T.J. Hooker will be next procedural in line for promotion to an action comedy movie. Netflix has collared screen rights to the venerable cop drama, with Jarrad Paul & Andy Mogel tapped to write. The film will be produced by Sophie Cassidy and Matt Crespy for 2.0 Entertainment, Adrian Askarieh for Prime Universe Films, and Alex Westmore for Vali Vista Films.

The original series premiered in March 1982 on ABC and ended its five-season, 91-episode run in 1986, with its final season airing on CBS. The show starred William Shatner as Sgt. T.J. Hooker of the Lcpd, a hard-nosed veteran reeling from a divorce from his wife and the loss of his partner in the line of duty. Principled, moral, and driven to fight crime, the former plainclothes detective returns to uniform to...

500 Days of Summer is one of the most iconic rom-coms ever created, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. But little do people know that the cult classic foreshadows Amazon Prime Video’s The Summer I Turned Pretty. Given how Tom and Summer in the film started out as ‘just friends’ which soon turned into a casual friends-with-benefits situation with no strings attached, the same is how Taylor (Rain Spencer) and Steven’s (Sean Kaufman) relationship turned out to be.

Moreover, in both the film and the series, the relationship becomes more passionate before the cracks begin to appear. In 500 Days of Summer, Tom and Summer part ways, realizing they are not good for each other. The same seems to be unfolding in The Summer I Turned Pretty for Taylor and Steven, although Taylor is trying to get him back despite Steven rejecting her.

This parallel becomes intentionally ironic once noticed.

Cameron Crowe’s beloved coming-of-age rock drama Almost Famous has officially landed on Pluto TV this August — and if you’ve never seen it, or it’s been a while since your last tour with Stillwater, there’s no better time to hop on the bus. Released in 2000, Almost Famous is widely regarded as one of the greatest music films ever made. Based on Crowe’s own teenage years as a journalist for Rolling Stone, the movie follows 15-year-old William Miller (played by a wide-eyed Patrick Fugit) as he gets the assignment of a lifetime: to hit the road with a rising rock band in the early 1970s and write about it. The result is a brilliantly heartfelt, hilarious, and regularly heartbreaking look at fame, fandom, and the bittersweet nature of growing up.

Crowe, who won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, based the story on his real-life experiences touring...

Zooey Deschanel is one of the most stunning actresses in Hollywood, so it’s only understandable how she’s the talk of the town every now and then. But the reason she’s currently making rounds on the internet is that she looks pretty much unrecognizable.

Allow us to walk you through it: You must be used to seeing the actress in bangs and glasses, a look that is particularly associated with her role as Jess in New Girl. Now imagine her without those very bangs and glasses that you’re so used to seeing her in — that’s exactly where she became unrecognizable.

As of late, images of Deschanel — one in her bangs and glasses and the other without them, featuring her in a different hairstyle altogether — have been going viral on the internet. And, since then, fans have been finding it hard to recognize the actress and believe...

It's no secret that working at Saturday Night Live means trying to be creative in perhaps the most high-pressure environment in television. For some cast members, that pressure can be very motivating. But for The Bear's Abby Elliott, it felt more like a threat.

Elliott joined Saturday Night Live during season 34, making history as the child of a former SNL cast member. Her father, Chris Elliott, spent one season on the show in season 20. Her tenure on the show was marked by a string of celebrity impressions, including Angelina Jolie, Katy Perry, Khloe Kardashian, and Zooey Deschanel.

But the dream job on SNL could feel much more like a nightmare for Elliott. Things can get a little cut-throat at the show as performers compete to get their material on air or find a way to become a favorite of the writers.

Matthew McConaugheyused to be a rom-com legend before he was Coop in Interstellar. He made movies with leading ladies like Kate Hudson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and one of his most underrated rom-com adventures is Failure to Launch. McConaughey plays Tripp, a man in his 30s, who lives with his parents despite being a ladies' man, and his parents (played by Kathy Batesand Terry Bradshaw) hire Paula (Sarah Jessica Parker) to get him out of their home.

It isn't the best romantic comedy of all time, but the movie is genuinely funny. But with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 23%, you'd think that it was responsible for the death of someone's mother. Yes, you have to experience a naked Bradshaw while watching the movie, but it does have an all-star cast. Alongside McConaughey and Parker are Bradley Cooper, Zooey Deschanel, and Justin Bartha as Tripp and Paula's friends,...

Note: while we make sure not to give away major plot points here, the very nature of this article requires a spoiler warning for season four of "The Bear."

Ever since its second season, "The Bear" — the Emmy-winning comedy that's a co-production between FX and Hulu — has made a habit of bringing on huge, high-profile guest stars to pop up from time to time. Honestly, on many levels, it makes sense to bring in big actors to show up occasionally on "The Bear." Because the main focus is centered around the titular sandwich shop turned fine dining destination in Chicago — run by Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), his "cousin" Richie Jermovitch (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), Carmy's right-hand woman Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri), and a handful of their friends — it's easy enough to bring in a few Oscar winners to play fellow chefs (which Olivia Colman did in seasons 2 and 3) or a...

All of America—and basically the entire world—knows how important the Fourth of July is for the country: It’s Independence Day, and it commemorates the ratification of the Declaration of Independence by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. However, reality TV star Kim Kardashian holds a grudge against it.

Around three years ago, the media personality, socialite, and businesswoman all in one, really stood up to ask the Fourth of July to be canceled. But she wasn’t the only major personality to have done that, as numerous other celebrities also joined her in standing for the motion. But, of course, it wasn’t without a very valid reason.

Every once in a while, there comes a movie whose concept is so wild that you have to see it to believe it. 20 years ago, a sci-fi comedy called The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy debuted in theaters, and it provided a different approach to stories that take place outside planet Earth. If you've either never watched it or completely forgotten about it, you will be glad to know that the Infinite Improbability Drive is directing the movie to Hulu on July 1.

Before NCIS made her a household name, Sasha Alexander had already made waves on the big screen. Nearly three decades ago, the actress shared the spotlight with comedy legend Jim Carrey in Yes Man, a movie that would go on to become a cult classic. Not only that, but with its hilarious premise and storytelling, the movie pulled in a massive $223 million at the box office.

While Carrey led the charge with his acting chops, Alexander made her presence felt in a movie that still holds up as a fan favorite today. Let’s dive deeper!

Long before Kate Todd in NCIS, Sasha Alexander had a scene-stealing role in Yes Man

Long before NCIS skyrocketed her career in the television genre, Sasha Alexander had a small but meaningful role in a Jim Carrey movie that went on to become a box office hit. The movie was the feel-good rom-com Yes Man,...

Sad news has washed ashore as word spreads about the passing of Brian Wilson, the co-founder and primary songwriter of the Beach Boys. In a post shared on Instagram, Wilson’s grief-stricken family delivered the tragic news, saying, “We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away,” they wrote. “We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world.” The post concluded with “Love & Mercy,” a nod to the title track of Wilson’s first solo album.

Kelsey Grammer has inhabited Dr. Frasier Crane on television for over 40 years (though not consecutively). Starting with his first appearance on "Cheers" in 1984, the acclaimed actor has taken the beloved psychiatrist from the friendly bar in Boston where everyone knows your name to his hometown of Seattle for a long-running spinoff and back to Boston for a short-lived (but hopefully extended) stint as a Harvard professor. He even stopped by Nantucket for an Emmy-nominated appearance at the tight-knit commuter airport on "Wings."

In all those years as Dr. Crane, Grammer has acted alongside a number of incredible guest stars. In fact, he encountered multiple in a single episode of "Frasier" since many prominent performers and personalities appeared as callers on the good doctor's popular radio show. Iconic "Superman" actor Christopher Reeve, rock music icon Eddie Van Halen, sitcom royalty Mary Tyler Moore, and prolific director Penny Marshall were just a...

There are few things network execs enjoy more than crossover episodes, especially now that franchises like Law & Order and One Chicago have taken over broadcast TV. Just this past TV season, ABC saw a couple surprising crossovers: 9-1-1 and Doctor Odyssey, and Abbott Elementary and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Whereas some crossovers come off as blatant ratings grabs — and some seem slipshod in their execution — the following exemplars excelled through their ambition, humor, or narrative significance. Some crossovers told epic tales across several episodes, others were just one-episode masterpieces, and yet others delighted us with cameos. Here are our favorite TV crossovers. 10. Brooklyn Nine-Nine & New Girl New Girl’s Jess (Zooey Deschanel) didn’t have the easiest time in New York — or, rather, a New York-styled Hollywood backlot — especially when Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Jake (Andy Samberg) commandeered and crashed her car. But the real highlight of the...

I don't care what anybody says, the first two seasons of Elizabeth Meriwether's "New Girl" should be in the pantheon of the funniest sitcoms about roommates. I never thought the concept of three (and at times four) weirdo dudes living with a silly-girly chick could be as hilarious and bonkers as seen in Fox's TV series. It's a shame the show couldn't maintain that initial freshness and goofiness throughout its 7-season run, eventually turning into an insufferable, painfully unfunny, and mawkish mess in its last three seasons — at least for me, and I was a huge fan!

But seasons 3 and 4 are still plenty of fun — even if not on the same level as the previous two — and have their amusing highlights I can never get tired of. One of those is season 4's fourth episode, "Micro," which brings us to the very reason you clicked on this article.

Apple TV+ is still relatively new in the streaming industry, and despite having made a name for themselves by producing quality content that people talk about to no end, the Apple-owned streaming service has produced some shows that don’t get talked about much, but not because they are bad, but because they are overlooked. On one hand, Apple TV+ has produced extremely popular shows like Ted Lasso and Severance; on the other hand, it has brilliant but nowhere near as popular shows like Drops of God and Slow Horses. That’s why we decided to compile a list of all the brilliant shows that have been overlooked by the masses.

In this week’s season finale of The Simpsons, Bart and Lisa’s interest in The Itchy & Scratchy Show begins to wane, prompting them to seek out other potential TV replacements. Lisa gets really into Quirk Girl, a not-so-subtle New Girl spoof that actually features the voices of stars Max Greenfield and Zooey Deschanel, who “made it okay for cute girls to be pretty.”

Bart, on the other hand, is watching a new animated series called Screaming Friends, which is full of gratingly loud oddball cartoon characters. “The jokes are great, but what I love is the storytelling,” Bart tells Marge.

Screaming Friends is clearly a parody of Smiling Friends, the beloved, and intensely bizarre Adult Swim series. But fans of the show aren’t exactly thrilled about the apparently uncomplimentary send-up.

Most of the complaints seemed to suggest that the overly-simplistic pseudo-reference was an example of the show being out-of-touch,...

Beloved Fox sitcom New Girl is getting a belated spoof from one of its network brethren, and two of the show's stars are along for the ride. Zooey Deschanel and Max Greenfield will lend their voices to this week's episode of The Simpsons. "Estranger Things," the thirty-sixth season finale of the undying animated series, will air this Sunday night on Fox and stream on Hulu the next day. Entertainment Weekly has a first look at Deschanel and Greenfield's appearances on the series.

In the clip, Lisa (Yeardley Smith) is watching the sitcom Quirk Girl on her tablet; she describes it as being "from the golden age of television: 2013." A thinly-veiled parody of New Girl, it stars a Deschanel lookalike who, Lisa gushes, "made it okay for cute girls to be pretty." Greenfield voices her roommate, the slick ladies' man Schultz, who's just borrowed a dog to help him pick up women.

From ‘Say Anything’ to ‘Palm Springs,’ Hulu nail every era of the rom-com.

Rom-coms are my favorite genre because when they really work, they deliver one of the best story experiences. Put simply, they both make me laugh and move me emotionally. Now, I’m not talking about the made-for-tv kind with generic meet-cutes and soft lighting, but the real deal: big-screen, laugh-out-loud, emotionally layered stories that actually stick with you.

So I started digging across the streamers, looking for the good ones. And while it’s obviously subjective, the best collection I found was on Hulu. Not the most rom-coms, but the right ones for me — a killer mix of 2000s nostalgia, indie hits, and buzzy modern entries that all hit that sweet spot. Here’s why Hulu is the best streamer for rom-com lovers who want quality, not quantity.

Everything you need to know about the best streamer for rom-com movies.

Jess and Schmidt from New Girl are reuniting - kind of. For seven seasons, Zooey Deschanel and Max Greenfield played Jess Day and Schmidt on the Emmy-nominated Fox series New Girl. To say that Jess’s character was quirky may be an understatement. The show begins with a newly dumped Jess, a young teacher, moving into a loft with three guys, and antics ensue. New Girl ran for seven seasons from 2011 to 2018.

Now, Deschanel and Greenfield (The Neighborhood) are essentially reprising their New Girl roles, but with a twist, in the Season 36 finale of The Simpsons,airing on May 18. Per Entertainment Weekly, Deschanel and Greenfield are parodying their characters in the episode. A clip of the scene can be watched below.

Growing up, Jim Carrey was The guy—king of rubber-faced chaos, delivering punchlines with the energy of a Red Bull-fueled cartoon. I was obsessed. I watched The Mask before a school exam once and spent the whole week annoying everyone by reenacting it.

Whether it was the wild antics of Ace Ventura, the idiotic brilliance of Dumb and Dumber, or the raw heart in Eternal Sunshine, Carrey could do no wrong. So when I recently rewatched Yes Man, ice cream in hand, expecting feel-good vibes.

Yeah, big mistake. The age gap? The zero-spark romance? It was giving cringe. Let’s unpack this misfire.

Thunderbolts*director Jake Schreier finally has addressed why one founding member of the Thunderbolts team in the comics is not present in the MCU film. At D23 in 2022, Marvel Studios officially confirmed the lineup for the Thunderbolts team, which consisted of characters present in the film who had been introduced in projects like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Black Widow, and even Ant-Man and the Wasp. Yet one name was notably absent, Baron Helmut Zemo, played by Daniel Brühl. Zemo is the founding member of The Thunderbolts in the comics, who originally were a team of villains passing as heroes to the general public.

Speaking with Dexerto, director Jake Schreier acknowledged fans' disappointment that Baron Zemo is not on the Thunderbolts* roster. Despite The Falcon and the Winter Soldier characters Bucky Barnes / The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) and John Walker / U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell) returning, it appears that even early on in development,...

We're a few years removed from its ending, but "New Girl" had a very healthy run on Fox, airing seven seasons from 2011 to 2018. The vast majority of those 146 episodes centered on Zooey Deschanel's hijinks as Jess in her loft apartment in Los Angeles alongside her roommates, Nick (Jake Johnson), Schmidt (Max Greenfiled), and Winston (Lamorne Morris).

The apartment in question is, in some ways, the typical sitcom apartment, much like the ones from "Friends," in that it seems far too expensive for the characters to actually afford. But this is television, after all, and it doesn't have to obey the laws of reality. Still, for fans of the show, it's probably worth wondering how much Jess and the gang would have had to pay to actually live in that apartment. Los Angeles is famously one of the most expensive cities in the U.

Goggins and Affleck play Donnie and Joe Emerson, whose album wins acclaim decades after it was made, but it’s rather a mono film

Newcomer-fans of Walton Goggins, sharing gifs of his stunned expression in The White Lotus, might want a look at this interesting but flawed movie: a heartfelt but frustratingly ponderous true-life story from the music world in which Goggins stars with Casey Affleck. Donnie and Joe Emerson were two brothers from Washington State who self-recorded an album in their teen years in 1978 called Dreamin’ Wild; it bombed, leaving crippling debts for their poor dad (played by Beau Bridges), who’d taken out bank loans to build them a log-cabin recording studio – but the record is then rediscovered 30 years later by vinyl hipster connoisseurs who can hardly believe the Emerson boys’ untutored rock genius.

The film insightfully shows how this deferred fame is not all good news; it...

When you want your funny bone tickled, a few actors come to mind who have delivered brilliant comedies time and time again, but if you are talking about the big three of modern comedy, then Will Ferrell is definitely one of the guys up there. He is known for his ability to bring a bumbling, flamboyant, and unusual personality to the characters he plays; the Step Brothers star has made a career filled with laugh-out-loud moments that fans continue to cherish to date.

When you think about Will Ferrell’s movies, it is likely that his legendary comedies like Anchorman, Elf, and Step Brothers come to mind. While these movies establish his status as a comedic genius, his filmography is far more diverse than people realize.

In the debut of the darkly comic new FX miniseries Dying for Sex, Molly (Michelle Williams) learns that her breast cancer has returned and is now terminal, then thinks on her nonexistent sex life with husband Steve (Jay Duplass) and declares, “I’ve never even had an orgasm with another person. And now I’m gonna die.”

What follows is an alternately hilarious, bawdy, and sad attempt to solve the former problem before the latter befalls her.

For a show that featured a lot of death, "Bones" sure did have a lot of heart. A series doesn't run for 12 seasons without an effective emotional core, after all, and "Bones" certainly managed to maintain a soft spot, even as Emily Deschanel's Temperance Brennan and David Boreanaz's Agent Seeley Booth inspected some of the most horrific corpses you've ever seen on TV.

One nice behind-the-scenes aspect of the series to offset the ongoing corpse inspections was the fact that the "Bones" cast often included family members of the stars and the show's creator, Hart Hanson. David Boreanaz's father, Dave Roberts, appeared in an uncredited cameo as an FBI agent, while Hanson's own father, Paul, showed up as a vending machine repairman. But it was during one Christmas episode that we got perhaps the most notable family-member appearance in the series.

Back when New Girl first aired in 2011, we as audiences were introduced to Zooey Deschanel’s eccentric teacher Jessica Day, who moved into an apartment loft with three single men, following her bad breakup.

And in the aftermath of her relocation, it was the unexpected events and the roommates/dysfunctional family dynamics that turned the sitcom into a major hit.

Alan Ritchson tells the amusing story of how he scored a role onNew Girlas a man with a micro-penis. The Reacher star is as huge as can be right now, both in terms of physical bulk, and when it comes to his acting career. But there was a time before Ritchson was quite so big, when he was willing to take on just about any job, including a small part in a sitcom playing a man with an unfortunate condition.

Ritchson’s New Girl season 4 guest spot as Jess’s poorly-endowed paramour gave the future action hero a memorable early-ish role, and as it happens, the story behind how he got the role is itself memorable, as he recalled during a recent appearance. Ritchson begins his story by recounting the time he was trying his hand as a screenwriter and needed a nocturnal pick-me-up (via Wired):
