Twenty years after its first season aired on MTV, Clone High has returned to the airwaves to make audiences laugh, shiver and cry. Season 2 sees angst-filled teens Abe Lincoln (Will Forte), Joan of Arc (Nicole Sullivan) and JFK (Christopher Miller) revived in the modern era, facing a new world of changing social landscapes and new technology. Joining them on this journey are new clones of Frida Kahlo (Vicci Martinez), Harriet Tubman (Ayo Edibiri), Confucius (Kelvin Yu) and Christopher Columbus (Neil Young), who tries to distance himself from his controversial "clonefather" by taking the name Topher Bus.

However, not all of Clone High's main students have made the transition to 2023. Ghandi (Michael McDonald) has been written out of the series, owing to the controversial nature of the character. His absence is explained by the rest of the cast simply forgetting to unfreeze him along with the other students. Cleopatra, meanwhile, has made the jump to modernity,...

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller admitted that Clone High's controversial first season and cancelation almost ended their careers.

After making its debut on MTV, Clone High was embroiled in controversy due to the animated sitcom’s depiction of Gandhi, which led to a hunger strike in India. Because of this intense response, the network had no choice but to pull the series from broadcast. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, long-time collaborators Lord and Miller opened up about the aftermath of Clone High’s 2003 cancelation, revealing that it definitely impacted their mental health with Lord recalling how he "had to go to a psychiatrist" because he hadn't slept in seven days.

“Clone High,” the animated MTV cult classic about a high school devoted to teenage clones of historical figures from creators Phil Lord and Chris Miller (the “Spider-Verse” franchise) and Bill Lawrence (“Ted Lasso”), returns with new episodes on Max 20 years after the cancellation of its sole season. The core group has thawed to confront a more complicated world of social media and new cultural norms, where “Riverdale” has replaced “Dawson’s Creek” as the coming-of-age template, complete with slightly more adult humor and even sillier situations — and fewer executive notes since the creators now wield greater power.

Back are Abe Lincoln (Will Forte), Cleopatra (Mitra Jouhari replacing Christa Miller), JFK (Chris Miller), and Joan of Arc (Nicole Sullivan). They are joined by new clone classmates Harriet Tubman (Ayo Edebiri), Frida Kahlo (Vicci Martinez), Confucius (Kelvin Yu), Topher Bus (Neil Casey as a canceled Christopher Columbus), and Sacagawea (Jana Schmieding). However, party...

The following article contains minor spoilers for the first two episodes of Clone High Season 2, now streaming on Max.

Say whaaaaaat? Clone High co-creators Phil Lord and Chris Miller have opened up about why the show's Max revival is keeping Gandhi on ice for now.

During an interview with TVLine, Lord pointed out that Gandhi is the reason Clone High was canceled in the first place. "[W]e didn't want to have it canceled again before it even started," he said. Miller added, "We're stupid, but not that stupid." MTV's Clone High famously ended on the cliffhanger of all the clones being frozen in ice. The first two episodes of Max's revival series reveal that while most all of them were thawed out, Gandhi was left in the freezer. That said, the possibility exists that fans haven't seen the last of Clone High's resident party animal.

After 20 years, “Clone High” has returned with a second season after the teen animated series about a high school for clones of famous historical figures was revived by Max.

Created by Bill Lawrence, Chris Miller and Phil Lord, the show picks up two decades later after Abe (Will Forte), Cleo (Mitra Jouhari taking over for Christa Miller), JFK (Chris Miller) and Joan (Nichole Sullivan), among others, were frozen in the season 1 finale before the show was canceled over controversy related to one of its central characters, a young version of Gandhi (originally voiced by Michael McDonald).

While the series sees the main foursome returning after being thawed out in a very special season 2 premiere, Gandhi is not among them. In fact, the character is no longer part of the series, with “Clone High” revealing that he is still frozen.

Although he doesn’t physically return, there are several nods to...

There’s a funny little irony to the very existence of Max’s Clone High. Originally created for MTV in the early aughts, the animated comedy centers around a bunch of teenagers who are genetic copies of notable historical figures, reborn for a new era. Now the series itself has been resurrected with much the same DNA (creators Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Bill Lawrence all return, as do most of the voice cast), but in a whole new environment. But just as characters like Abe Lincoln (Will Forte), Joan of Arc (Nicole Sullivan) and JFK (Miller) adjust to their new normal, so too does Clone High, serving up a new season that feels every bit as silly and sharp as the show did the first time around.

Clone High couldn’t have known it at the time, but its first-season finale offered the perfect setup for a revival. In the 2003 episode,...

"Clone High" was a clever, silly animated show about genetic clones of famous historical figures — like Abe Lincoln, George Washington, and Marie Curie — getting sent to high school for an experiment. It served as a parody of high school dramas of the early 2000s like "Dawson's Creek" and "The O.C." And yet, the show quickly built an entertaining high school story of its own that was just as compelling, with the high concept shenanigans also letting the interpersonal romances breathe and shine.

The show was unceremoniously canceled by MTV due to both low ratings and protests about the portrayal of Gandhi in the series. Since then, creators Bill Lawrence, Phil Lord, and Chris Miller have all gone on to do rather impressive things. Lawrence co-created "Ted Lasso," and Lord and Miller helped revolutionize American animation with "Into the Spider-Verse."

But now, the clones are finally thawed, and "Clone High" is back,...

Kennedy joined by the likes of Frida Kahlo and Christopher Columbus, the latter of which are voiced by Vicci Martinez and Neil Casey, respectively.

Phil Lord and Chris Miller, directors of hits like "21 Jump Street" as well as the producers of "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," are at the top of the food chain in Hollywood these days -- but it wasn't always that way. Earlier on in their careers, when they were green, they made a little animated show called "Clone High" for MTV that, despite gaining critical acclaim and a loving audience, lasted just one season. Now though, the show is coming back on HBO Max, and we've got a brand new teaser trailer for the revival of this cult classic.

Lord and Miller have put their powers to use to bring back their beloved series, with original voice actors Will Forte and Nicole Sullivan returning as well. Lord is also back as Scudworth, Miller as JFK and Mr. B, Christa Miller as Candide Sampson, Donald Faison as George Washington Carver, and Judah Miller as Scangrade.

The Clone High revival is coming to HBO Max. The streaming service released the first photos and revealed the cast of the adult animated series set in a high school attended by young clones of historical figures, including Abe Lincoln, Joan of Arc, Cleopatra, and JFK.

The satirical comedy series aired for one season of 13 episodes on MTV during the 2002-03 season. It was pulled off the air when there was a controversy surrounding the portrayal of Gandhi.

Created by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Bill Lawrence, Will Forte, and Nicole Sullivan starred in the original series, and they are returning for the revival. Ayo Edebiri, Mitra Jouhari, Vicci Martinez, Kelvin Yu, Neil Casey, Jana Schmieding, Sam Richardson, Mo Gaffney, Al Madrigal, Danny Pudi, and Emily Maya Mills are joining the series.

Images for the upcoming Clone High reboot reveal a first look at some new and returning faces. Created by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Bill Lawrence, the adult animated series premiered on MTV back in 2002. It centers on a high school full of clones, including those of Abraham Lincoln, Joan of Arc, and Cleopatra, revealed to be part of an experiment run by the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures. Despite its cancelation after only one season, the show had acquired a strong fanbase and in 2021, it was announced that a Clone High revival would debut on HBO Max.

Now, HBO Max is providing a first look at Clone High's characters in a new set of images revealed at WonderCon.

Long before Phil Lord and Christopher Miller became household names with "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" and Bill Lawrence took the sitcom world by storm with "Ted Lasso," the trio was responsible for a controversial animated comedy that lasted just one season. "Clone High" was a wild idea; a high-concept animated MTV sitcom about a high school full of clones of famous people that also served as a parody of teen shows at the time, it ultimately went off the air after its depiction of a clone of Gandhi inspired a hunger strike in India, according to Grantland.

Despite its short shelf life and bumpy history, "Clone High" achieved a bit of a cult status after it ended, and now, it's set to return with a stellar new cast and a few fan favorites. A first look at the upgraded version of the series debuted at WonderCon, where stars Nicole Sullivan...

For the uninitiated, Clone High is an animated comedy about a high school populated by teenage clones of significant historical figures.

A hotline to help detained immigrants seek legal counsel was allegedly shut down by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement less than two weeks after it was referenced on “Orange Is the New Black.”

The California-based Freedom for Immigrants nonprofit hotline was shut down on Aug. 7, according to a statement released by the group that operates the service. Since 2013, the toll-free hotline has been available to immigrants who are held in the United States’ immigration detention facilities. American prisoners have a right to a lawyer and a free phone call but detained immigrants do not have the same privileges, though they can make a free call to an Ice-approved list of legal services.

“Orange Is the New Black” dramatized how that situation impacts detainees in the recently released Season 7. Freedom for Immigrants was name-dropped in the series when Maritza Ramos (Diane Guerrero) called the hotline to find legal aid for her immigration hearing.

Calls are ongoing for the reopening of a toll-free hotline for detained immigrants that was shut down after it was featured in a episode of Orange Is The New Black.

The California-based Freedom for Immigrants says the hotline was shut down on August 7, about two weeks after the July 26 premiere of the final season of Netflix’s Orange Is The New Black. It had been featured in the fifth episode of the final season, in which Maritza, played by Diane Guerrero, who has been detained by Ice, discovers a toll-free hotline she can call to get a free lawyer. As she joyfully tells Gloria about the hotline, Gloria quickly warns her, “You have to be careful, though. Apparently if they figure out that you’re using the hotline, Big Brother shuts it down.”

And lo and behold, that’s what happened, in real-life.

The hotline had been featured in a various other episodes as well.

Weeks after Orange Is the New Black referenced a toll-free hotline that helps immigrants in detention centers obtain legal counsel, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) allegedly shut down the number.

Freedom for Immigrants, the California organization that created the National Immigration Detention Hotline in 2013, says the number was nixed on August 7th, roughly two weeks after the premiere of the Netflix series’ seventh season. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the show features a storyline in which two characters, Blanca and Maritza, end up in deportation proceedings and other people at the...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for the finale of Orange Is the New Black!

The finale of Orange Is the New Black season six was one of the most memorable episodes ever, and that's in part to learning the fate of Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson (Danielle Brooks). She was found guilty of Correction Officer Desi Piscatella's death and sentenced to life in prison. So if there's one question we had while watching season seven, it's if Taystee would get the justice she deserved.

At the beginning of the season, Taystee has a hard time coming to terms with her reality. She tries to buy the drugs that killed Daddy (Vicci Martinez) so she'd die, too, but Dayanara Diaz (Dascha Polanco) won't give them to her. Taystee gets desperate and makes a noose out of her bed sheet. She starts choking, but doesn't go through with it. However, Daya lets Taystee work for her...

[Editor’s note: The review contains spoilers for “Orange Is The New Black” Season 7, Episode 1: Beginning of the End.]

The final season of “Orange Is the New Black” arrives on Netflix today and spoiler alert: Things get emotional.

Episode 1 kicks off with Piper (Taylor Schilling) trying her best to adjust to her newfound freedom — but as we’ve seen with other characters over the years, life outside Litchfield Correctional Facility isn’t exactly easy. Besides living with her brother, his wife and their infant daughter in a cramped apartment, tension with her father, money troubles, and being on probation add to Piper’s roadblocks. The latter provides a keyhole-sized look into the struggle that real ex-cons face with acclimating back into society while caught in the financial spin cycle of struggling to survive. Granted, Piper got herself into this mess so there’s no feeling sorry for her — at least she’s physically free.

Orange Is the New Black has locked up its Litchfield set for the last time.

The veteran Netflix series wrapped production on its seventh and final season on Tuesday, and the cast of Jenji Kohan's prison dramedy has been marking the bittersweet milestone on social media.

Kohan shared an image of the final cast and crew photo taken on the New York set (in what looks to be the Litchfield Max setting of season six). Video of the moment was shared by castmember Vicci Martinez on her Instagram story.

The creator and showrunner captioned the group shot of her ensemble cast ...

Beverly McClellan, the third runner-up during NBC’s inaugural season of The Voice, died on Oct. 30 following a battle with cancer. She was 49.

According to The Blast, McClellan passed while surrounded by friends and her wife Monique. The singer had been diagnosed with Stage 3 endometrial cancer that had metastasized to her colon, bladder and intestines.

Born in Kingsport, Tenn. and raised in Gate City, Va., McClellan’s pre-Voice accomplishments included winning the New York National Music Festival in 2004 as Best Overall Performer among 500 contestants. She had recorded five independent albums without having been signed by a record label when she auditioned for The Voice.

They say old habits die hard, but they die even harder in Litchfield Maximum Security Prison. During season six of Orange Is the New Black, fans are introduced to yet another charming leading lady of lock-up, and she goes by the name of Daddy - well, Dominga Duarte - played by actress and The Voice competitor Vicci Martinez. During episode six, "State of the Uterus," we learn more about Daddy's background and what lands her behind bars in the first place. Surprisingly enough, she's *kind of* doing the same thing in Litchfield that she was doing before prison, and let us be clear: it is still very illegal.

Daddy's smooth yet felonious former ways of life are revealed during one of the many season six flashbacks, and well, there's no better way to put this . . . she was a pimp. She may have said, "Nobody f*cks with Daddy. And...

First came Co Bennett and Daya, then Co Coates Donuts and Pennsatucky, but outside of Litchfield, there's a guard-inmate relationship that Orange Is the New Black fans are swooning over. Dearest reader, we have a feeling you'll do the same. Co McCullough (Emily Tarver) and season six's newest bad girl, Daddy (Vicci Martinez), might seem like an unlikely match behind bars, but in real life, they're not only dating, but they're in a band together!

"We are super in love," Vicci told The News Tribune, a local newspaper from her hometown of Tacoma, Wa, about her relationship with her costar. "And we have a music group together. I've started to do music again. She's fulfilling my fantasy of doing duets together."

For Emily's birthday last month, Vicci posted a photo kissing her girlfriend with a caption that could melt even the coldest of hearts. "Happy Birthday to the woman of my dreeeeaaammmzzzz!

Season six of Orange Is the New Black brings new relationships, new flashbacks, and a whole lot of new drama, but one new character in particular steals the hearts of viewers and a few inmates, and that's Dominga Duarte aka Daddy. Daddy may be a drug-smuggling, problem-causing character, but she always looks out for her team, who she calls "Daddy's girls." Upon binge-watching the new season of the show and climbing out of a serious internet hole we're not ashamed of, we discovered that Daddy - actress and singer Vicci Martinez - appeared on season one of NBC's The Voice, where she came in third place.

Martinez was on Team CeeLo, and we are seriously blown away by her incredible voice. She's a powerhouse leader with a huge heart while playing Daddy, but the multifaceted artist is so much more, surprising all of us that Oitnb is her first major acting role.

Not sure where you've seen Orange Is the New Black's newest cast member? It's probably not her acting chops in a prison jumpsuit that caught your memory but likely her voice. Vicci Martinez, who plays the role of Daddy this season, is actually an established singer-songwriter with 10 albums, two EPs, and four chart-hitting singles under her belt. As a singer, songwriter, and now actress, she's quite the triple threat.

Martinez has appeared on all the singing shows: American Idol, Star Search, and even The Voice. She worked with mentor CeeLo Green on the latter back in 2011, placing third and landing a deal with Universal Republic.

When Orange is the New Black Season 6 premieres on Friday, July 27, the easy life of minimum security will be over.

Opening about a week after the riot that was the focus of Orange is the New Black Season 5, only about half of the central characters make it to the maximum security arm of Litchfield Penitentiary.

The rest are in the wind, perhaps to be shuffled in somewhere down the line or never to return.

The sixth season will continue following the lives of those involved with Litchfield, but this is the first time the I've wondered how the stories get decided.

Not everyone makes it to Max, and there are a few characters whose absence is noticed.

It was hard to know how “Orange is the New Black” would — or could — come back after its fifth season, which was as ambitious as it was ultimately disastrous. The show became as scattered and chaotic as the inmate protest-turned-riot it was trying to depict, sending every character spinning seemingly for the sake of it. By season’s end, two guards had died and the inmates were rounded up and shipped off to different prisons.

It’s understandable why, after four similarly structured seasons, the show was tempted to slow the story down to follow just a few extraordinary days in the characters’ lives. But in the end, the result was too thrilled with its own daring to make much sense. So the question was how Season 6 could recover without ditching its ongoing storylines and starting over with a whole new cast.

Nope, somehow NBC’s reality singing juggernaut combined all my least-favorite Blind Audition elements — formerly famous person taking a second swing at success; backstory tugging at the heartstrings; the entire coaching panel devolving into noisy hype; the contestant herself using the word “journey” — and made me fall for it...

Avery Wilson, Jacquie Lee, Vicci Martinez and Craig Wayne Boyd returned to The Voice stage, as both Team Xtina’s Kimberly Nichole and India Carney found themselves in the bottom two on The Voice Top 6 Elimination Show.

The post ‘The Voice’ Recap: A Team Xtina Frontrunner Is Sent Home, Craig Wayne Boyd Returns appeared first on uInterview.

Tonight's elimination show, kicked off with Jacquie Lee performing "Tears Fall." Then , host Carson Daly, revealed that Sawyer Fredericks was safe this week. From there, Avery Wilson hit the stage to perform "If I Have To." After that, Carson revealed that Meghan Linsey was safe ,tonight, before Vicci Martinez sang "Bad News Breaker." Shortly after Vicci's performance, Carson revealed that Koryn Hawthorne was safe. Then Craig Wayne Boyd hit the stage to perform "I'm Still Here." Shortly after that, Carson let everyone know that Joshua Davis was safe. which meant that India Carney and Kimberly Nichole had to sing for the instant save. India Carney sang "Perfect." Kimberly Nichole sang "Seven Nation Army." Then finally, after the last break of the night, Carson revealed that India Carney won the instant save, leaving poor Kimberly Nichole on the outs and going home.

Maybe it’s time to stop saying The Voice does nothing to promote its alumni (even though none of ’em have achieved Carrie Underwood- or Kelly Clarkson- or even Chris Daughtry-level success).

Sure, Tuesday’s Top 6 results featured a random (and interminable) interview with the cast of the Entourage movie (did I hear The One With the Hair call it a “bigger, more epic, better… fantasy ride”?). But the one-hour telecast also made room for performances by four former contestants — Season 1’s Vicci Martinez, Season 3’s Avery Wilson, Season 5’s Jacquie Lee and Season 7 champ Craig Wayne Boyd.

Who says there’s no life after The Voice?

Season 5′s Top 5 results telecast felt like an aggressive response to the blogosphere complaint that NBC’s reality-singing behemoth has yet to produce a viable chart-topper — this week’s Top 10 iTunes milestones for covers by three current semifinalists notwithstanding. (Cue Xtina rageface, followed by an indignant, “Excuse me, but I’m No. 10 on Billboard right this very second, bitches!” No, girl, we’re talking about contestants, not coaches.)

Back in 2010 we heard about the out frontwoman of a band in Ann Arbor, Michigan that had a killer voice and was a devoted Skins fan. Then 24 and a student at the University of Michigan, Michelle Chamuel spoke with us about being a musician, rather than "a lesbian musician" or a "Jewish artist." "It's not one and alone," she told us. "I think of myself as a musician. I'm not in to labels, which makes it so that I don't live by them anyway, so I'm not trying to fit into a category. I think people should do whatever they want."

Three years later, Michelle Chamuel was standing on a stage in Los Angeles waiting to be told if she was the winner of The Voice. Although she took second, Michelle's send-off was a happy one as she cheered for the winner, 16-year-old country singer Danielle Bradbery,...

This summer is the most lesbonic summer in the history of television. Between The Voice, The Talk, The Rachel Maddow Show, Ellen, The Fosters, Pretty Little Liars, Mistresses, Defiance, R&B Divas, Degrassi, True Blood, Warehouse 13, and an honorable mention to Rizzoli & Isles, we are everywhere all the time. So we asked our writers: What's your favorite leztastic thing happening on TV right now?

Erika Star: Michelle Chamuel has been the best part of my (pre) summer, and I drank an entire celebratory bottle of champagne Tuesday night to prove it. The folks on The Voice brought home the fact that she nailed the inner beauty contest, which is valid, but she's also gorgeous, wildly talented, and gorgeous. Not getting first place did wonders for Clay Aiken, Vicci Martinez and Jennifer Hudson's careers, and if her coach, or my squeals of delight,...
