Kaitlin Olson and Daniel Sunjata in ‘High Potential’ episode 10 (Disney/Carlos Lopez-Calleja)

The murder-of-the-week at the center of ABC’s High Potential episode 10, “Chutes and Murders,” is introduced when two little girls literally collide with a dead body. A playground slide turns into a murder scene when the girls find their passage blocked by a corpse.

Nannies reveal the dead woman is Tara Foley, also a nanny who frequents the park. The medical examiner tells the detectives a heavy blow to the head killed her. Her attacker hit Tara nearby, and then she crawled into the slide to escape. She died around 10pm, and unfortunately, there aren’t any CCTV cameras nearby.

The nannies reveal a weird guy had been hanging around the park, and he seemed interested in Tara.

Morgan (Kaitlin Olson) has been quiet during all this, but Tara’s dinging phone is driving her crazy. She puts...

It looks like High Potential is, once again, back to putting the case of Roman’s disappearance on the back burner. This series is amazing, but it’s playing a game of chicken with the audience.

Not that I’m complaining or anything, but a little consistency goes a long way. If you’re anything like this TV Fanatic, you like your loose ends wrapped up nicely in a bow.

High Potential has delivered one amazing episode after another with a cast of incredibly talented actors — not to mention writing that takes audiences on an emotional roller coaster.

What more could the executives at ABC need to give a knock-out series like this the go-ahead for another season? Hell, give High Potential a multiple-season renewal.

If for no other reason than for some assurance that we will see some of the hilarious characters introduced in High Potential Season 1 Episode 10 again.

Exclusive: Under the radar rom-com 40 Dates and 40 Nights has wrapped production in Houston, with cast including Bailee Madison (Pretty Little Liars), Joel Courtney (The Kissing Booth), Annie Potts (Ghostbusters), Jai Rodriguez (Bros) and Luxy Banner (The Get Together).

The story revolves around Leah Jones (Madison), who is navigating the challenges of dating. Gigi (Potts), her grandmother, bets her a full year’s rent if she can prove love isn’t out there after 40 consecutive dates.

Andy Delaney directs from a script inspired by true events from Sarah “Howie” Howard. Vance Howard is executive producer for Lucky Number 8 Productions. The film is a co-production between Lucky Number 8 and Rebellium Films (Cottonmouth), produced by Randy Wayne and Madison, with co-producers Sandler Weinberg and Sarah Howard.

Supporting cast includes Jack Schumacher, Eric Nelsen, Bethany Geaber, Mia Challis, Sterling Knight, Mark Hapka, Jeremy Culhan and Randy McDowell.

When the cast and creators of Queer Eye met with Vice President Kamala Harris in her ceremonial office on Thursday, there was very quickly a reminder that the show’s impact was far greater than style guidance.

Marking Pride Month, Harris called the series “groundbreaking” in that it raised the consciousness of the LGBTQ+ community.

She met with executive producers David Collins and Michael Williams, current cast members Karamo Brown and Jonathan Van Ness, and original cast members Carson Kressley and Jai Rodriguez. The show launched on Bravo in 2003 and then returned on Netflix in 2018.

Kressley said, “One of the most grateful things I have for that show is that so many young people come up to me today … and say, ‘Your show helped me come out because it allowed a safe dialog with my family to say, ‘Oh, he’s Ok’.”

He even said that some had told him...

After Showtime canceled Uncoupled after saving it from cancellation at Netflix, cast members are mourning the Neil Patrick Harris comedy series on social media. “Welp, I guess I’m not going to NYC in May to shoot,” Jai Rodriguez, the former Queer Eye for the Straight Guy star who played pal Jonathan #2 in Uncoupled, wrote in his Instagram Stories, according to Deadline. Dan Amboyer, who played love interest Luke in the series, also reacted to the surprise cancellation on Instagram. “Sad that there won’t be a season 2 of #Uncoupled after all,” he wrote on Friday. “Thankful for my experience, would have loved to see this story go on. Had my eyes set on it as soon as I heard about it, originally. One of my favorite projects (to be a small part of) — and a meaningful moment for me to finally play a gay role on screen. Magic people,...

Following Showtime’s decision not to proceed with a new season of Uncoupled after Netflix’s cancellation, the series’ cast is breaking their silence.

Jai Rodriguez, who played Jonathan #2, took to social media to share his thoughts about the show getting canceled for good.

“Welp, guess I’m not going to NYC in May to shoot,” Rodriguez posted on Instagram Stories.

The Neil Patrick Harris-starring comedy created by Darren Star and Jeffrey Richman premiered all eight episodes of the first season on July 29, 2022. In January 2023, Netflix canceled the series after a single season. However, a month later, Showtime stepped up and picked up a second season of the comedy, which had been delayed due to the writers’ strike.

Following the show’s demise, Dan Amboyer, who played Harris’s love interest, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram.

“Sad that there won’t be a season 2 of Uncoupled after all,...

If you’re disappointed by Showtime’s decision to un-renew Uncoupled, you’re not alone.

The Neil Patrick Harris-led comedy dropped its eight-episode first season on Netflix in July 2022, only to be canceled by the streamer in January 2023. Showtime announced plans to save the series a month later, formally ordering a second season, but that decision has since been reversed.

The event, held outside Project Angel Food's Hollywood kitchen in a ballroom under the stars, featured a performance by multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, Jewel and an elegant dinner prepared by Los Angeles’ renowned Angelini Osteria. Funds raised from the Angel Awards will support the organization’s operating costs, as Project Angel Food prepares and delivers over 125,000 meals every month to people living with life-threatening illnesses at zero cost.

Introduced by actor and comedian Steven Weber and media personality Rachel Lindsay, Chief Executive Officer of Project Angel Food Richard Ayoub kicked off the evening with remarks to welcome guests.

Project Angel Food announced last week that it will honor Sheryl Lee Ralph with the inaugural Sheryl Lee Ralph Legacy Award at the highly anticipated Angel Awards on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023, in Hollywood

AIDS activist, artist and author Mary Fisher will receive the 2023 Angel Award, a distinction previously bestowed on Judith Light, Elizabeth Taylor, George Michael, Sharon Stone and Whoopi Goldberg, among others. Multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated singer and mental health pioneer Jewel will perform in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of her second studio album Spirit, which has sold more than 3.7 million copies.

Project Angel Food is finalizing its Angel Awards lineup, securing a program that will feature Emmy Award winner Sheryl Lee Ralph, singer, songwriter and activist Jewel and activist, artist and author Mary Fisher.

Ralph will receive an inaugural prize named after her — the Sheryl Lee Ralph Legacy Award — designed to honor her longtime support of Project Angel Food and decades of leadership and activism in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Ralph got involved with Project Angel Food more than three decades ago after having just moved to Los Angeles following the success of Broadway’s Dreamgirls. As the story goes, she saw volunteers circulating around a church kitchen that served as the headquarters for Project Angel Food at the time when the organization was serving hundreds. She decided to get involved as she knew so many people impacted by the disease. She also co-founded the Diva Foundation which raised...

In 2003, five gay men with massive star power set breakout network Bravo ablaze. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy was a groundbreaking series not only for Bravo but it also changed the face and feel of reality television.

The magic behind the series was the playful and sometimes sarcastic exchanges between the five stars, Aka the “Fab Five” and how they related to their designated episodic “straight guy.” Interior design guru Thom Filicia said the spiciness in their banter is one big reason why the series worked so well.

‘Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’ set the tone for reality tv

“I think when we started in reality television, it was a little bit of the Wild West,” Filicia told Showbiz Cheat Sheet in 2021. “It wasn’t defined yet. It could be anything we wanted it to be. There was no network that was kind of giving us a bit...

The 2003 reality series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy set the Bravo network on fire and to celebrate its fabulousness, Bravo will replay a 20th anniversary marathon of the series on Thursday, July 13.

The Emmy Award-winning series launches a supersized marathon from 6 Am – 9 Pm Et/Pt on Thursday, July 13.

The all-day event will feature fan-favorite episodes from the beginning and culminate with its 10-year reunion special, according to Bravo.

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy aired on Bravo from 2003-2007 and followed the original “Fab Five” – Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, Carson Kressley, and Jai Rodriguez – as they performed a “make-better” on someone by upgrading their wardrobe, renovating their home, and offering lifestyle advice.

Not long after Bravo canceled Queer Eye for the Straight Guy in 2007, the show’s creators thought their showbiz careers were over. Despite masterminding one of the 21st century’s seminal reality TV hits, David Collins, Rob Eric and Michael Williams — the team behind Scout Productions, founded in 1994 as a scrappy indie film outfit based out of Boston — were struggling to find another hit now that they’d been rebranded as unscripted lifestyle guys. “In 2004, we won an Oscar for The Fog of War and an Emmy for Queer Eye,” Collins says. “Two years after that, we could not get arrested. There was a moment where I was like, ‘All right, am I going to become a barista?’ “

Today, Scout is one of the most prolific nonfiction development companies in Hollywood — all thanks to a call Collins received in 2016 from WME agent Nir Caspi looking to shop titles that would...

ABC’s Modern Family could have looked a lot different if Jai Rodriguez from Queer Eye ended up with the role of Cameron Tucker.

Actor Eric Stonestreet was ultimately cast, but Rodriguez auditioned and admitted he played the role completely wrong. He recently recounted how his audition fell flat and that Stonestreet was perfect for the role.

Jai Rodriguez just finished ‘Queer Eye’

“I come to LA and Modern Family is brand new and the casting director is so excited to bring me in for this role to play Cam,” he recalled on the Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef podcast. “Now I had just come off Queer Eye. I had just come off playing a nonbinary character in Zanna Don’t. I had just come off playing a drag queen. So eight years of Lgbtqia stuff and here’s a gay role.”

Bravo‘s Original Queer Eye for the Straight Guy star Jai Rodriguez recalled being coached to audition for the 2003 series and that they were paid even less than a first season original Real Housewife. But were they?

Jai Rodriguez was encouraged to lie about his age and background for the ‘Queer Eye’ audition

“I got an audition for Queer Eye. I sat across from a woman like this. And she asked me to take her on a romantic date as a divorced dad living on Long Island. What would be our New York City date? And I knew the city like the back of my hand,” he recounted on the Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef podcast.

“So I gave her this flowery description of all the unique things we do and she loved that.

The Queer Eye season 7 premiere on Netflix is reigniting interest in the Fab Five, and it's time to discuss the current ages of cast members Tan France, Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness, Bobby Berk, and Karamo Brown. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy premiered in July 2003. On the Emmy-winning show, five gay men helped straight men by giving them makeovers, along with advice about everything from home décor to diet. Back then, Ted Allen, Carson Kressley, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, and Jai Rodriguez were members of the Fab Five. The show retired in 2007, but made a comeback with a new and diverse cast in 2018.

Similar to the original Fab Five from Queer Eye, the new cast also revamped wardrobes, redecorated homes, and offered advice on grooming, lifestyle, food, and wine. The show was set in Atlanta, and the Fab Five met everyday heroes who were nominated by their friends and family.

Bowen Yang is not only the breakout star of Saturday Night Live, where he’s hilariously embodied everything from a downed Chinese spy balloon to a Ron DeSantis-roasting gay Jafar, but he’s also one of the stars of Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens, a Comedy Central series from Awkwafina (real name: Nora Lum) based on her life growing up as an Asian American in Queens, New York. Yang plays Edmund, Nora’s cousin who, like Nora, has been raised by her father (Bd Wong) and grandmother (Lori Tai Chinn). Edmund,...

Thanks to the success of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and its spinoffs, drag has hit the mainstream in recent years — and at the same time, is under attack in the U.S., with several Republican-run states having introduced legislation to ban drag while scaling back hard-fought Lgbtqia+ rights.

Queens throughout America are fighting back, and have assembled a star-studded array of talent to participate in the “Drag Isn’t Dangerous” telethon, set to stream live at DragIsntDangerous.com on Sunday, May 7.

“According to the ACLU, there are currently 467 bills in the United States legislature targeting the Lgbtqia+ community,” notes the telethon’s website.

Season 3 sees Nora deal with the conflicts of life, as season 3 “explores themes of identity and success.”

Her cousin Edmund, played by “SNL” star Bowen Yang, attempts to help her discover new hobbies like reading – which Nora immediately rejects when she can’t name a single book. By the end of the teaser, her grandmother, played by Lori Tan Chinn, joins in on suggesting hobbies for her granddaughter to enjoy with the family.

Awkwafina may be heading under the sea for “The Little Mermaid” and fighting Dracula in “Renfield” this spring, but at heart, the BAFTA nominee is still Nora from Queens. Season 3 of the star’s Comedy Central series, aptly titled “Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens,” will premiere on April 26. The season comes over a year after the show’s sophomore outing ended in October 2021.

Originally premiering in January 2020, “Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens” stars the “Farewell” actor as a fictionalized version of herself, in a family drama set in her home neighborhood of Flushing, Queens. The show follows Nora as she navigates her twenties in New York City, with the support of her tightknit family. Bd Wong stars as her father Wally, Lori Tan Chinn as her grandmother, Bowen Yang as her cousin Edmund, and Jennifer Esposito as Wally’s girlfriend Brenda.

Season 3 will focus on Nora as she navigates “themes of identity and success.

Comedy Central has released the first official teaser for Season 3 of “Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens” ahead of the series’ April 26 premiere date, Variety can exclusively reveal.

The television comedy “Awkafina Is Nora From Queens” draws inspiration from creator and writer Awkwafina’s life experiences growing up in Queens, N.Y. — and she’ll also make her directorial debut with Season 3. On the show, Awkwafina (aka Nora Lin) maneuvers through the hardships of young adulthood with the support of her closest family members, her father (Bd Wong), grandmother (Lori Tan Chinn) and cousin (Bowen Yang). From the looks of the teaser, it looks like their lively, eccentric family dynamic from previous seasons will still be present in Season 3.

Awkwafina is stilling facing the conflicts that come with navigating the waters of life in this upcoming season, most prominently through how she (according to Comedy Central’s logline “explores themes of identity and success.

Viewers won't be getting any resolution to Michael's quest for love... or any of the other soapy twists from the finale of Uncoupled. 

Netflix has officially canceled the Neil Patrick Harris comedy almost six months after its series premiere on the streaming service.

"Michael Lawson (Neil Patrick Harris) seems to have it all figured out," reads the official synopsis for the comedy from Darren Star.

"He's a successful New York City real estate agent with a great career, a supportive family, close friends, and a loving relationship with his partner of 17 years, Colin (Tuc Watkins)."

"But when Colin unexpectedly moves out on the eve of his 50th birthday, Michael is completely blindsided," Netflix teases.

"Overnight, he has to confront two nightmares: losing the man he thought was his soulmate, and suddenly finding himself a single gay man in his mid-forties in New York City."

If you’re an Applebee’s employee in Des Moines who wants to see Billy Eichner’s romantic comedy Bros, Guy Branum just made it a lot easier by serving it up on a platter — free of charge.

The comedian, who plays the witty best friend of Eichner’s character in the Nicholas Stoller-directed film, has bought out a showing specifically for staff at five Applebee’s restaurants in the greater Des Moines area. Locations in and around Iowa’s capital city include Merle Hay, Se 14th Street, Altoona, Jordan Creek and Ankeny locations with the screening set for Oct. 3 at 2 p.m. at AMC Classic Johnston 16 in Johnston, Iowa.

“Smile,” the horror film from Paramount and writer-director Parker Finn, made 2 million at the box office Thursday in its preview screenings from roughly 3,000 screens and that began at 7 p.m. It opens on 3,648 screens this weekend.

“Smile” opens alongside Universal’s “Bros,” the LGBTQ+ and R-rated romantic comedy from writer and star Billy Eichner. “Bros” brought in 500,000 at the box office in its own preview screenings from 2,700 theaters that began at 5 p.m. It opens on 3,350 screens this weekend.

Neither “Smile” or “Bros” is expected to break the 20 million mark this weekend, a disappointing trend for movies this month at the box office, though both have modest budgets and hope to turn a profit on the backs of strong reviews for each and some creative viral marketing, whether it’s eerily grinning fans at a baseball game or Eichner running down New York City streets with Paul Rudd and a pack of lesbians.

Exactly the kind of rom-com story audiences have seen again and again for middle-aged straight, white characters — and that Hollywood has recently shown more interest in with younger LGBTQ+ characters in projects like Love, Victor, Fire Island and Anything’s Possible — Uncoupled delivers the kind of narrative treatment middle-aged gay men are rarely on the receiving end of. And it’s arriving at a notable time for the LGBTQ+ community.

Netflix’s latest rom-com installment follows Neil Patrick Harris’ Michael, a successful, middle-aged New York real estate agent who suddenly finds himself separating from his partner of 17 years after Colin (played by Tuc Watkins) decides, without explanation, that their relationship is no longer working.
