Sailor Moon set the standard for magical girl, shojo, and romance anime. It follows Sailor Moon's love story with Tuxedo Mask in their current lives, and in their past lives as princess of the Moon Kingdom and prince of Earth. They have a swoon-worthy story, where they meet as their celestial alter egos, and they immediately feel a pull toward one another.

Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask have a bit of a tsundere dynamic in the '90s anime adaptation, and tsundere romances will always be popular in romance anime. After the first story arc, their romance becomes more nuanced. Their romance is so iconic that it popularized certain character tropes and inspired elements of future romance anime.

Already a beloved figure among the San Diego Comic-Con set for fixture for his work as the title character in Marvel’s The Punisher, Thomas Jane is back. This time, he’s armed with news he is bringing his horror comic book series The Lycan to Comixology Originals. Jane is doing it through Renegade Entertainment, the company he co-founded with Courtney Lauren Penn, who are producing Season 2 of the Prime Video show Troppo, in which Jane plays disgraced ex-cop Ted Conkaffey. That drama premieres today on Prime Video.

With The Lycan, Jane takes on the new role of comic book editor.

Ever since Kurt Cobain’s death in 1994, Nirvana fans have hypothesized about the music he would have made had he lived. But other than “You Know You’re Right,” the scabrous, throat-shredding meditation on confusion that Nirvana recorded a few months before his suicide, and a few comments he told confidants about potentially collaborating with R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe or going completely solo, he mainly left behind question marks.

Now an organization has created a “new” Nirvana song using artificial-intelligence software to approximate the singer-guitarist’s songwriting. The guitar riffs vary from quiet,...

Lilly Singh returned with her NBC late-night show A Little Late for the first time in eight months.

The Canadian comedian filmed the 1:30am show at a house in LA, making it more topical than season one, with interviews done virtually.

Opening with a sketch about how she would be able to cope without making the show in a traditional studio with a live audience, she joked, “That sounds a lot like YouTube and I don’t know if I have enough experience.”

Season one of A Little Late with Lilly Singh, which ran from September 2019 through May 2020, was filmed in advance, meaning that some of the later episodes aired during the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. She addressed not being on the air in nearly a year. “We thought we were so smart, we’d bank this evergreen content, we can air it whenever, it will always make sense.

The diversity of late-night writers rooms is not a new topic of conversation.

For years, these shows have been accused of being too white and too male, and while that still might be the case, there has been improvement across the board both in terms of gender and ethnicity. Progress is being made, slowly, in the right direction.

So, it was nice to see, earlier this week, that the new team behind the scenes at NBC’s A Little Late with Lilly Singh was incredibly inclusive.

Chelsea Davison, taking over from Sean O’Connor, leads a gender-balanced and diverse writing team of Vannessa Jackson, a former writing apprentice on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert; Sabeeh Jameel, who was a researcher on The Opposition with Jordan Klepper; Romen Borsellino, co-creator of Freeform’s Kal Penn Approves This Message; Nimesh Patel, a former writer for Saturday Night Live who was discovered by Chris Rock; Nelu Handa,...

A Little Late with Lilly Singh will look a little different when it returns in January with a new set and a whole team behind the scenes.

Neil Punsalan, who was recently showrunner of Comedy Central series Doing the Most with Phoebe Robinson, is taking over showrunning duties from Aliyah Silverstein. John Irwin, who was also an exec producer on Season 1, also has exited.

Chelsea Davison, who has written for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Lights Out with David Spade as well as the first season of A Little Late, becomes head writer, replacing Sean O’Connor.

She is the only remaining writer from Season 1, other than Singh herself, with a new writing staff including Vannessa Jackson, Sabeeh Jameel, Romen Borsellino, Nimesh Patel, Neuli Handa and Natasha Vaynblat.

Polly Auritt, who works with Singh at her production company Unicorn Island Productions, also will exec produce with Singh, and Davison is co-exec producer.

“A Little Late With Lilly Singh” will have a whole new look for Season 2 — and a new writing staff, including Chelsea Davison as head writer. She replaces Sean O’Connor.

Staff writers for Season 2 are Vannessa Jackson, Sabeeh Jameel, Romen Borsellino, Nimesh Patel, Neuli Handa and Natasha Vaynblat. Neil Punsalan is showrunner.

They’re all new — the only carryover writers from Season 1 to Season 2 are Singh and Davison.

The second season of the (very) late-night show will be relocated to “a Los Angeles-based house,” NBC said on Tuesday.

We checked — it’s not Lilly’s home.

“Swapping out a traditional stage for a Los Angeles-based house as the show’s location will give Lilly more space to break the rules and embrace imperfection,” the show’s press release reads.

In addition to sketches, interviews and Singh’s take on current events, Season 2 will also “go behind the scenes,” letting “audiences into...

While we wait for the second season of NBC’s A Little Late with Lilly Singh, its star’s new special has begun streaming on the sibling Peacock.

Lilly Singh made a surprise announcement on social media today, saying that her special Sketchy Times with Lilly Singh is available for free on Peacock. In a nod to her YouTube roots, the late-night host notes that she played all but of the characters in the show that was filmed entirely at her home during the pandemic:

Surprise! #SketchyTimes is now streaming For Free on @PeacockTV. It's as simple as download & watch. Shot completely during the pandemic, in my house and I play every character (except one…)

A Little Late With Lilly Singh will debut Monday, Sept. 16, making Singh the only woman hosting a late night show on the broadcast networks.

Roommate comedies in some form have been dominating entertainment basically since Three's Company, but when they work, they work. Sean and Jilly Move In is as simple as it sounds. A couple decides to move into together to save their relationship. And simple it is. So simple in fact, the actors shamelessly wear microphones placed strategically sometimes on their arms to pick up sounds from two actors at once—ah, the joys of love-budge web series making. But somehow it is easily forgivable as Sean O'Connor and Jillian Federman have an easy, engaging, and entertaining demeanor, and you'd rather hear what they have to say, even if they are wearing microphones on their arms.
