Warning! Spoilers ahead for the Frasier season 2 finale.

The Frasier revival's season 2 finale wraps up a slightly improved sophomore year by sticking to its signature storytelling approach. It's no secret that when the Paramount+ reboot of the beloved sitcom was announced, it was met with a divisive response considering the risks of bringing it back. It didn't help that the majority of its original ensemble isn't involved, including David Hyde Pierce's Niles and Jane Leeves' Daphne. The Frasier season 1 finale effectively addressed the show's premise, which was about Frasier reconnecting with his son, Freddy. However, Paramount+ deemed that the series deserved at least another year.

Frasier performs a duet with a character who may be his daughter in a new clip. Frasier season 2 is a continuation of the reboot of the iconic 1990s sitcom, which premiered on Paramount+ in 2023. The show sees Dr. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) returning to Boston and attempting to bond with his adult son Freddy (Jack Cutmore-Scott) after taking a job as a Harvard professor. The main cast of the show also includes Toks Olagundoye, Jess Salgueiro, Anders Keith, and Nicholas Lyndhurst.

Entertainment Weekly has now shared an exclusive clip from the upcoming Frasier season 2 episode "The Squash Courtship of Freddy's Father," which is set to premiere on Thursday, October 10.

The Frasier reboot is back with its second season on Paramount Plus. Later this season, viewers will see Dr. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) return to Seattle, where the original series was set. For those who haven't kept up with Frasier following the original show's conclusion, the iconic television character now resides in Boston, where his character was first introduced during Cheers' third season. Frasier's visit to his native Seattle, which occurs in the October 31 episode "Thank You, Dr. Crane," paves the way for Peri Gilpin's Roz Doyle to have a more prominent role in the reboot. Now, while speaking with Parade Magazine, Frasier star and executive producer Grammer shared why the revival needed to return to this familiar setting:

"It has something to do with getting Roz to Boston because we had to have a reason for her to come back. An organic, good reason for her to come back,...

When Star Trek: Picard returns for season 3, there will be a new voice for Starfleet's 25th-century computers, which is an inevitable change.

This “Party” is over.

Fox has opted not to make any more episodes of “Party Over Here,” the network’s most recent attempt to get back into the sketch comedy game. The show, which aired earlier this year, came from the Lonely Island and showrunner Paul Scheer.

“Party Over Here,” Fox’s new late-night sketch-comedy show, took on the issue of gender inequality in Hollywood on Saturday night. To go by what Nicole Byer, Alison Rich and Jessica McKenna had to say, it’s all a matter of keeping up appearances. The show stars took the stage and explained everything. “As women in comedy,” Rich said, “we’ve been getting a lot of questions about how we broke the glass ceiling and got our own TV show.” The reason was simple. Byer said: “We showed up to all our network meetings dressed like this.” The trio then introduced a backdrop of a.

With the help of Flyte, they manage to hitch a ride with private pilot Jamari (Nicole Byers). The only problem is Jamari is not the most experienced pilot. In fact, she had two “tiny crashes” earlier in the.

Near the start of the debut episode of their sketch show “Party Over Here,” stars Nicole Byer, Jessica McKenna and Alison Rich appear on stage in front of a studio audience, proudly announcing the kickoff of their 25th season. It may be the funniest joke of the premiere — not because it’s a particularly hilarious bit but because it’s hard to imagine viewers giving this meager series that long of a run. Only mildly amusing and tending toward broad, obvious gags, this Fox late-night program, which is executive produced by the Lonely Island, could develop and grow in confidence over time.

“Party Over Here,” the Fox network’s late-night sketch-comedy show premiered on Saturday night, and the featured bits hinted at a show that will be full of sex, sarcasm and bodily functions. In other words, just what you would expect from the guys behind the Lonely Island comedy trio — “SNL” vets Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone — who created the show with “Fresh Off the Boat” star Paul Scheer. In this clip, from the show’s debut episode, stars Nicole Byer, Jessica McKenna and Alison Rich try to impress their three mentors, the Lonely Island guys, who remain impassive and.

In a promo for Fox’s new sketch comedy program Party Over Here, executive producer Paul Scheer (The League) says he wanted to create a show “that felt like the live comedy that’s going on in New York.” Co-creator Andy Samberg probably should have informed him that there’s already a show like that, and Ariana Grande is currently hosting.

Fox is moving back into the sketch comedy genre with a new series conceived by comedy troupe The Lonely Island and actor Paul Scheer.

The show, "Party Over Here," will air on Saturday nights at 11 p.m., and be produced by the Lonely Island trio -- Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone -- and Scheer. The four comedians won't star on the program, but Scheer (who currently stars on ABC sitcom "Fresh Off the Boat") will direct.

Instead, "Party Over Here" is led by an all-female cast, including Nicole Byer ("Girl Code"), Jessica McKenna (an alum of comedy troupes the Groundlings and Upright Citizens Brigade), and Alison Rich (a former "Saturday Night Live" writer).

Additionally actor/comedian Paul Scheer ("The League," "Fresh Off The Boat") will also serve as an executive producer and direct some episodes. The new series premieres March 12th.

The Lonely Island, that ragtag trio of musically silly SNL alums Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer, is getting its own Fox sketch series entitled Party Over Here. Though the trio itself won't appear as regular cast members, they'll produce the show, which so far stars Jessica McKenna, Nicole Byer, and Alison Rich. It will air on Saturday nights, but it won't conflict with SNL since it's slated for an 11 p.m. slot.  This is all well and good, but more importantly, it's an opportunity for me to point out the single best moment in any Lonely Island video. You may have your preferences like Michael Bolton's tribute to Jack Sparrow or Justin Timberlake's special, phallic present, but I am telling you those are incorrect. The greatest moment in the Lonely Island oeuvre occurs at 0:45 in the following video, entitled "J*zz in my Pants."   The...

A decade after starting their TV careers at Saturday Night Live, the Lonely Island is getting a Saturday-night sketch show of their very own. The Hollywood Reporter writes that the comedy threesome will collaborate with Paul Scheer in producing a half-hour sketch comedy series for Fox called Party Over Here. The title comes from the name of the group's "development venture" with the network and also, possibly, "Whoomp! (There It Is)." None of the Lonely Island guys will be a part of the show's ensemble — which so far includes Nicole Byer, Jessica McKenna, and Alison Rich — nor will they be directly competing with SNL, as Poh will air at eleven. Still, if Lorne Michaels takes this news better than Johnny Carson did, we'll know late-night really is a nicer place.

Fox is jumping back in the late-night arena with the launch of Party Over Here, a sketch comedy series from Saturday Night Live alums Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone of The Lonely Island. The show, which the trio will executive produce with Paul Scheer (The League), will debut on March 12, airing Saturdays from 11-11:30 Pm. It will star up-and-coming actress/comedians Nicole Byer of MTV’s Girl Code, Jessica McKenna (Riot) and Alison Rich (Resident…...

If Saturday Night Live‘s 90-minute broadcast doesn’t satisfy your need for sketch comedy on the weekends, Fox just came up with the perfect solution.

The network has greenlit Party Over Here, a half-hour Saturday-night series produced by comedy trio The Lonely Island (Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone) and Paul Scheer (The League).

Fox is about to reap the benefits of its pact with Lonely Island guys Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone. The network is also moving back into the sketch comedy space, ordering Saturday late-night effort Party Over Here from the trio and Paul Scheer. The four will executive produce the new half-hour series, set to debut Mar. 12, though they naturally won't be part of the cast. That will be comprised of Nicole Byer, Jessica McKenna and Alison Rich. “When we first conceived this idea, we thought of it as a spinoff of Empire,” Samberg, Schaffer

TV show description:

This unscripted comedy series is based on the Australian TV show called Slide Show and is hosted by Rove McManus.

Each episode features a group of regular players -– including John Ross Bowie, Jamie Denbo, Brian Palermo, Jordan Black, Jessica McKenna, Meryl Hathaway and Rob Gleeson -- as they improvise a series of comedy improv sketches and games.

The players must think on their feet as they face unpredictable song, dance, and sketch challenges -- often while navigating the show's trademark set (which tilts at...

Fox has cancelled Riot, their new comedy improv series, after four episodes.

Hosted by Rove McManus, Riot is an unscripted show that pairs guest celebrities with a group of regular players for comedy song, dance, and sketch challenges. The regulars are John Ross Bowie, Jamie Denbo, Brian Palermo, Jordan Black, Jessica McKenna, Meryl Hathaway and Rob Gleeson.

The show debuted in mid-May to a dismal 0.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.34 million viewers. The numbers have gone up and down since then but have all been terrible.

The network has pulled the show from the schedule effective immediately, along with I Wanna Marry "Harry". The four remaining episodes may surface at some point in the future but there are currently no plans. Reruns of Fox comedies will fill the timeslot for the time being.

What...

Fox is hoping that viewers find their new Riot TV series to be hilarious so that they keep watching each week. However, television is a serious business and it's the ratings that matter. Will Riot be a ratings success and be renewed for a second season or, will it be cancelled instead? Stay tuned.
