Also, @mairalg.bsky.social talked with John C. McGinley and Judy Reyes: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

If I have to read one more headline with the phrase “breaks silence,” I’m gonna also break silence.

How did those Bad Bunny-themed, anti-ICE towels get into the Super Bowl?

I do love a Muppet. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I was on the verge of ugly crying.

Catherine O'Hara's death is shocking because of how vibrant she was onscreen. She was brilliant recently in "The Studio" and in "Schitt's Creek," but also in earlier work like "Beetlejuice," "Home Alone" and so much more. For any elder millennial, this hits hard. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

In this essay by "Dark Winds" showrunner John Wirth, he writes about the moment he had to escape the Palisades fire that consumed his home and destroyed it a year ago. I appreciate him sharing this vivid recollection. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Emily is one of the best and I’m so glad I get to work with her often.

Because it was such a standout year for TV, there were some scenes and episodes that we felt were worth highlighting from 2025. Can you believe Severance, The Pitt, Jimmy Kimmel, SNL's 50th season and the creepy bat baby from Welcome to Derry were all this year? www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

The amount of pacing I do when I’m writing is equal to the number of words I actually wrote.

One of the most delightful shows on TV with one of the most delightful couples. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I always look forward to @robertlloyd.bsky.social thoughtful compilation of his favorite shows of the year. Plus, we've linked all his reviews to them if you want to read more. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Happy Stranger Things Thanksgiving Eve to all who celebrate www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Yes, we know who True's dad is, but did you know she also speaks Elvish? She talked to us about the improvised line that surprised even Elijah Wood in last night's episode of I LOVE LA. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Art critic Christopher Knight is retiring from the @latimes.com at the end of the month. A huge loss for us. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Sometimes in L.A., a Marty Supreme blimp flies over your house.

I am so deep in the lore of Stranger Things now that I may never emerge, much like the Mind Flayer in Vecna.

The excellent documentary CHEER broke the myth of what cheerleading was and who could participate. Now comes STUMBLE, NBC's new mockumentary, loosely adapted from the docuseries. I spoke to the creators and Monica Aldama about making the show: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Here's how the passing of Prop. 50 will shift your congressional district left or right, according to a Times analysis of recent election results prior to Nov. 4

A small army is racing against time and Trump to preserve U.S. history Over 1,600 volunteers have created private archives with more than 50,000 photos and videos of museum exhibits before Trump’s directives take effect. www.latimes.com/california/s...

California voters approved Prop. 50. Here's a look at the percentage of "yes" votes by county, with 25.1% precincts reporting as of Nov. 4, 8:18 p.m.

I’m listening to WNYC’s election coverage (never stopped even after moving to LA) and the most interesting calls have been from parents who say they were persuaded by their children to vote for Zohran Mamdani. It shows that those dinner table conversations can sway people.

Rhea Seehorn spoke to us about leading Vince Gilligan's new series "Pluribus" and some of life's existential questions. This is a really enjoyable read. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

It's a horse. It's a dinosaur. It's Jeff Koons. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

"After Emmys, I get to take it easy for a few days." ABC suspends Kimmel's show. 24+ hours later, we've published multiple stories. Here's the latest on what the late night hosts said.

The Gilroys are quite the team on "Andor." www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

It is 3 p.m. on Emmys day and I am running on a peanut butter english muffin and vibes. But my exhaustion is your gain with our live coverage. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

The Times' @villarrealy.bsky.social is hanging out with @michaelurie.bsky.social as he gets ready for the Emmys tonight. Follow along in this diary of his day. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Ego Nwodim is the latest SNL cast member to announce she's leaving. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

My editing queue is nearing about 20 slugs, it can only mean one thing: Emmys are upon us.

I'd like to commend the agent/rep for Fontaines D.C. for managing to get "Starburster" in multiple shows this year, including some coming this fall. It's become the dramatic needle drop to, "Oh shit, this actor/character/scene is going a whole other direction."

Ah! I interviewed Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and the great Luis Guzmán for LA Times. The first part of WEDNESDAY Season 2 is out next week. We talked about their beloved characters and their thoughts on navigating this uncertain industry: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

On the heels of the new HBO documentary about Billy Joel (Part 2 is out Friday at 8 p.m. on HBO and HBO Max), our music critic @mikaelwood.bsky.social ranked Joel's 43 Hot 100 hits. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

“A suggested title for any upcoming films, books or TV series that are set in the dog days of 2025? ‘The Summer I Learned to Capitulate.’ July is shaping up to be a bend-the-knee month like no other …” @lorraineali.bsky.social

In essence, Jon Stewart on Monday night told people like LA Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong to “go f**k yourself” for corporate cowardice—and then handed one of them a comfortable platform on national television minutes later. www.status.news/p/jon-stewar...

Myself and @villarrealy.bsky.social wrote about why Ozzy Osbourne was one of the best TV dads. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Another piece for a Friday, on Stephen Colbert, past, present and ? www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Not good news for late night TV.

I did an audible "OMG!" when Esther text me this screenshot. Come for the story, and stay for Danny's crocs: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I really enjoyed editing this profile of Kevin Williamson by @ashleyspencer.bsky.social. The creator of "Dawson's Creek" and "Scream" is channeling his family's story into the new Netflix series "The Waterfront" that's loosely based on his father. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I asked ICE if they had given Dr. Phil a heads up about the raids, and one might think that to be the case since he was there before the operations on Friday. They did not comment and referred me to Homan/the White House.

During the height of the pandemic lockdowns, actors Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody began shooting videos for social media with their son, Gideon. That inspired "Seasoned," but the show was shelved. Now they're hoping a screening at Tribeca will help find it a home. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

If you grew up in a Latin household, you probably know about Chespirito. But if you didn't, like Pablo Cruz Guerrero, there's no better time to get acquainted with "Little Shakespeare," Roberto Gómez Bolaños. A new Max bioseries depicts the Latin American icon: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

That was a bit short lived.

Honestly, the wait for this John Mulaney fight was worth it if it meant BONE THUGS N HARMONY actually made it to the stage, and they performed The Crossroads!!!!

When Richard Kind offers to sit on THE car for a shoot, you kindly take him up on it. We spoke to him about tonight’s EVERYBODY’S LIVE finale and places he loves in L.A: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

If you're a millennial who went to college in the early 2000s, OVERCOMPENSATING will feel familiar and hit you with waves of nostalgia and cringe, in the best way possible. @bmanuel.bsky.social spoke to Benito Skinner and Wally Baram about their starring roles. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Max is HBO Max, again. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
