When you open your Peacock mobile app this summer, you might see the AI likeness of TV host Andy Cohen pop up on your homepage. In an announcement on Friday, NBCUniversal said Cohen's avatar will serve as a guide through Peacock's 'infinitely swipeable' feed of clips from Bravo shows, like Love Island, The Real Housewives series, and Below Deck.
Since its 1996 debut, Access Hollywood has aired nearly 12,000 episodes. Yet its most infamous segment was one that never made it to broadcast: in October 2016, weeks before the presidential election, The Washington Post obtained footage of then-candidate Donald Trump making lewd comments about women to Access Hollywood host Billy Bush.
J.J. Foley's Cafe invites Patriots fans to pack the South End bar Friday with jerseys and signs to cheer on the team that had a helluva turnaround season, putting the Pats back in a spot they're familiar with: the playoffs. The 'Today' show, NBC Boston's Priscilla Casper, Patriots cheerleaders, and mascot Pat the Patriot will take part in a team send-off to Denver, where the Pats face the Broncos Sunday.
Of course I want you watching CNN and I want you listening to me on SiriusXM, but, my God, use the clicker. I don't go to bed without sampling all of the news and opinion that's all around me because it's so easy to get bunkered into, you know, a silo of your choosing and think you're getting competing opinions when, in fact, you're not.
Hours before the episode went live, however, CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss made the decision to pull the report. The move sparked outrage within CBS News and across the media industry, with some accusing Weiss of yanking the segment because it would make President Donald Trump look bad. In a company memo, Weiss explained that her decision was motivated by the fact that the segment did not include voices from the Trump administration.
Weiss originally postponed the segment because she believed, at present, we do not present the administration's argument for why it sent 252 Venezuelans to CECOT. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, who reported on the story, was furious slamming the move as a political decision and arguing that Weiss's reasoning was flawed. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story, Alfonsi wrote, in an internal memo of her own.
It's been one blunder after another during the early days of the Tony Dokoupil era at CBS Evening News. From night one, the flagship broadcast of the Eye's news division has been marred by technical mess-ups, bizarre attempts to suck up to the Trump administration, low-key humiliation by President Trump, and an anchor who seems to think he has earned the right to pontificate at the end of the show like he's a latter-day Cronkite.
"Sup, playa," Rob says as he reveals to the always-befuddled Eric that he's not only a Traitor but a Traitor seeking to recruit him to his ranks. And how do you say no to "Sup, playa"? With death as the only other option, Eric is, of course, onboard to become a Traitor, which means he has to murder - and the three people that our new Traitorous pairing is choosing between are Natalie, Dorinda, and Stephen.
The Cold War was largely an exercise in futility. Soviet spies surveilled American agents embedded in Russia; said American agents knew they were being stalked, recorded, and quietly threatened. Stateside, it was the same game of paranoia - and in the end, it's hard to say what actual fruit was borne of it. That irony is the one thing - maybe the only thing - that Ponies understands intimately.
A familiar face joined the "Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions" on Monday night. "Abbott Elementary" star Lisa Ann Walter got her chance to play after winning "Celebrity Jeopardy!" in 2024. Walter couldn't participate in the tournament last year due to the writer's strike and scheduling conflicts. But it was an incorrect question that may get her into some trouble with her adopted city of Philadelphia. The answer was: "In the 18th century, it was America's biggest port, trading for linen and tea; Later it traded for Steve Carlton & Roy Halladay."
