Paley just announced a summer-long World Cup celebration, with an exhibit spotlighting US Soccer & the WC, livestreams of every WC game in our theaters & a 5/21 kickoff event with Alexi Lalas & Fox Sports soccer analysts to screen the new Summer of '94 doc www.paleycenter.org/events/paley...

In 2 weeks, the day before Stephen Colbert’s Late Show farewell, I’ll revisit the greatest late night talk show farewells ever, including Carson, Letterman, Conan & Larry Sanders. My guest will be legendary TV journalist and late night historian Bill Carter www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

On the heels of yesterday's surprise prequel episode drop, FX says the fifth - and final - (eight-episode) season of The Bear will debut on June 25

If you're a fan of Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone or just TV in general, you are definitely going to want to read this terrific book

Very important for The Pitt viewers:

Fine, first *TV* project they worked on together (aside from that Picket Fences cameo)

Doing my final prep for this talk, which is on Thursday and will include a few highlights from last weekend's Scrubs PaleyFest LA panel—and clips from a WILD revival that I'd somehow never seen until now. If you're in NYC on Thursday, I hope you can stop by! www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

I was a huge fan of this first season, which is packed with incredible performances from all of its leads. Not sure why it took real-life spouses David E. Kelley and Michelle Pfeiffer so many decades to make something together, but it was worth the wait.

My fellow Paley curator Ron Simon did a great curator conversation with Morgan Neville about his Lorne Michaels doc that comes out next week. Lorne famously doesn’t read/watch any projects he participates in but was a surprise attendee at last night’s premiere—and told Morgan he liked the film.

One week from today, I'll be talking about the history of TV revivals, including a few you probably forgot about, with plenty of clips from the shows themselves, as well as several Paley events from over the years. Hope you can make it!

A phrase I’ve never heard while traveling until today: “This is a very light flight…”

We’re set my next Conversation with a Curator talks at Paley: join me Thurs 4/16 for Back from the Dead: The Art of the TV Revival. I'll trace the fascinating history of TV revivals, from The Honeymooners to the new iterations of Scrubs and Malcolm in the Middle www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

I wrote this a decade ago: no, one billion people do not watch the Oscars qz.com/182355/no-on...

Looking forward to giving this talk on Thursday. It will be packed with unforgettable Academy Awards clips—including one that you aren't able to (legally) see anywhere else

Join me for my next Conversation with a Curator talk on Thurs 3/12, as I trace the evolution of the Oscars telecast and look back at the most memorable—and most infamous—Academy Awards moments of all time (and yes, that includes Rob Lowe/Snow White) www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

I did some press about Paley's incredible new Survivor exhibit. In this AP video, I talked about some of the exhibit highlights apnews.com/video/surviv...

I echo everything that has been said about James Van Der Beek—particularly how underrated his work was in Don't Trust the B---- in Apt. 23. RIP

I appeared on WNBC's New York Live today in NYC to talk about this year's Super Bowl Commercials — just like I used to do back in my Adweek days youtu.be/s9AY1q5J8yk?...

Tough back to back Super Bowls for guys named Drake

The 4K feed of the Super Bowl isn’t showing any local market ads - just endless NBCU promos

Some things never change…

Tomorrow afternoon I'll be flashing back to my Adweek days as I talk about the most memorable Super Bowl commercials of all time & a few wild ones you may have never seen. I hope you stop by if you're in midtown Manhattan www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

On the heels of last week's Conversation with a Curator Paley talk about the Super Bowl Halftime Show, I'll be at it again on Thursday, talking about the most memorable Super Bowl commercials of all time (& a few fun ones you may have never seen). I'm putting my Adweek past to good use for this one

There was nothing that Catherine O'Hara couldn't do onscreen. This is heartbreaking variety.com/2026/tv/news...

If you are in NYC on Thurs, swing by the Paley Museum for my look back at how the Super Bowl Halftime Show evolved from an afterthought to music's premier showcase, with excerpts from the best, worst and most controversial Halftime Show performances of all time www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

Oh yes, I'll be showing clips from both the In Living Color Super Halftime Party, and the official "Winter Magic" Halftime Show that aired on CBS that year

I'm putting the finishing touches on my Super Bowl Halftime Show Conversation, and I'm so excited to share these halftime highlights (and lowlights) next Thursday—including several wild clips that you definitely have to see to believe. Hope to see you there! www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

We just announced our next big Paley exhibit, celebrating 50 seasons of Survivor. Coming next month! www.paleycenter.org/events/paley...

We’ve set my next three Conversation with a Curator talks at Paley. On Thurs 1/29, I’ll look at how the Super Bowl Halftime Show became music’s premier showcase, and screen some of the most unforgettable (& controversial) Halftime Show performances of all time www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

Season 2 of The Pitt is just as incredible as Season 1 was, so this is very welcome news indeed

So glad this is coming back for a second season - and if you haven't watched Season 1 yet, what are you waiting for?

There’s been such overwhelming interest in Paley’s Stranger Things event tonight with the cast and the Duffer Brothers that we will be livestreaming it. Tune in around 7:45 ET www.youtube.com/live/ClUJ-9C...

If you read one U.S. president's remembrance of Rob Reiner today...

We are setting the bar very high as we announce the first shows that will be a part of PaleyFest LA 2026: The Pitt, Shrinking and Nobody Wants This www.paleycenter.org/events/paley...

I love the NBCU comms holiday party for many reasons, but this view of the Rockefeller Center tree is always near the top of the list…

This feels like a good time to point out that Apple News+ (either solo or better yet as part of the Apple One bundle) is one of the best deals in media as it gives you access to dozens of amazing publications (including Sam's)

From New York to Newark for my second big event of the day: the annual @montclairfilm.bsky.social fundraiser

This was such a fun event. Thanks to @connorratliff.bsky.social making this an unforgettable afternoon—and to everyone who came out to watch with us. I’m with Connor: I don’t think I’ll be able to watch the Special in full again bc it will never be as enjoyable as it was in that packed theater.

Tomorrow in NYC at the Paley Center: a rare chance to see the notorious Star Wars Holiday Special on a big screen with an audience! Post-screening, a convo between me & Paley Center curator Jason Lynch! 1pm screening! 3pm convo! www.paleycenter.org/events/paley...

Never thought we'd see the day...

If you're looking for something fun to do in NYC on Sunday, join me and @connorratliff.bsky.social as we explain how exactly The Star Wars Holiday Special happened. But first, at 1, see the Holiday Special the way it was (not) meant to be seen: in a packed theater www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...

We are closing 2025 out with a bang: Paley is hosting the cast and creators of Stranger Things on Thursday 12/18. This will definitely sell out before it gets to the public sale next week, so if you aren't already a Paley member, join for a earlier shot at tix www.paleycenter.org/events/paley...

Hope you can join me and @connorratliff.bsky.social at 3 pm on Sunday to talk about The Star Wars Holiday Special—and if you come early, at 1, we'll be screening the Holiday Special in full from the Paley Archive. More info: www.paleycenter.org/events/conve...
