"Legendary broadcasters" Cord Hosenbeck and Tish Cattigan, who made their debut at the Rose Parade on New Year's Day on Amazon, will return as hosts on New Year's Day 2019 on Funny or Die's website and social media platforms. This will be the third special hosted by Cord & Tish -- they also hosted HBO's coverage of the Royal Wedding in May. “Once again, Tish and I are delighted to be participating in the grand tradition of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Rose Parade. We are excited for the floats, marching bands, but not the horses because I am scared of them,” said Cord. “I’m looking forward to another gorgeous morning in Pasadena full of pageantry, camaraderie and laughter!” added Tish. “And the horses really are a problem for Cord.”

Inspired by his TBS comedy, The Last O.G. Cookbook promises to give readers "mad culinary skills." “This project is really special to me,” Morgan said in a statement. “I can throw down in the kitchen, so I’m excited to put these recipes in a book packed with soul and bold in-your-face flavors. The most important ingredient is love. I want this book to not only inspire mad culinary skills, but give back to the Brooklyn community where I grew up.”

The guitarist, who left Blink-182 in 2015 to pursue his interest in aliens and paranormal activity, will produce Strange Times, a drama inspired by his childhood. DeLonge considers the show a "science fiction Disney." "The gang of characters in the story is based on the tribe of degenerate skateboarders that I grew up with — right around the same time I started my band Blink-182," he says. "The story is also set in that same town. Charlie, the main character, is a bit of myself. A boy searching for answers, trying to find a way out of suburbia, but laughing with his ridiculous, irreverent friends along the way."

Harvey recently showed up on the Ellen show with a grey beard. He explained he "was on vacation and I actually left my Just for Men at home ’cause I had been dyeing my mustache, you know, black. So I was on vacation so I didn’t dye it and the rest of it started growing in. The next thing I knew, I went, ‘Damn!' This is either going to be sexy or I’m ugly as hell!”

Richard Dormer, who plays fire sword-wielding Beric Dondarrion, warns Game of Thrones fans to not believe everything they read with regards to final season. "I suppose it’s good for the show because it gets people talking, and sometimes I suppose they even leak stuff on purpose,” he tells Sky News. “It’s all good for the show, but we find it kind of annoying because we want fans to see it on screen and go, ‘Oh my god, I can’t believe it.’ You don’t want it to be spoiled, you want it to be a piece of entertainment that is constantly keeping you on your toes.”

Writer-executive producer Caroline Dries, who wrote tonight's Part 2 of the "Elseworlds" crossover event, says in the past DC Comics placed restrictions on Batman. “DC doesn’t let you say Batman or have anything about Gotham — like it’s just off-limits," she says. But since Gotham became a Fox series, she says, “all of a sudden, we can do stuff. And for a bunch of geeks like us, you’re in Heaven. It’s (then just a matter of) trying to figure out what you want to use.” ALSO: The CW gets a ratings boost from Part 1 of the "Elseworlds" crossover.

As legendary of an actor as De Niro is, he just isn't good at live sketch comedy. Yet Saturday Night Live keeps bringing him out to play Robert Mueller. "About three minutes into this week’s Saturday Night Live cold open, all of the bad decisions the show has made during the Trump presidency slowly swung into perfect, awful alignment," says Matthew Dessum. "Watch in horror as a once-in-a-lifetime harmonic convergence between the show’s love of celebrity cameos, their weakness for reassuring their audience that everything will be okay, and their apparently difficult-to-read cue cards unleashes gravitational forces that tear the cold open to pieces." Dessum adds: "Whatever was going on with Robert De Niro is a disaster. He rarely makes eye contact with (Alex) Moffat, staring instead at what must be the cue cards, he delivers jokes like he’s reading them for the first time, and at one point it seems like he either skipped some lines or a last-minute edit rendered the dialogue nonsensical, because he answers, 'That depends on how much you want to visit your family,' in answer to a question no one asked...The result is hard to watch, but weirdly, it ends up being more honest than the sketch would have been if they’d executed it flawlessly."

The trial-focused cable channel that launched in 1991 and thrived in the mid-1990s amid the O.J. Simpson and Menendez Brothers murder trials was rebranded as truTV in 2008. According to Deadline, "Katz Networks, a unit of the E.W. Scripps Co. which operates multicast networks like Bounce, Escape and Grit, will relaunch Court TV in May 2019. Just as it did when it was owned by Turner Broadcasting, the network will be devoted to live, gavel-to-gavel coverage, legal reporting and expert analysis of trials across the country."

Hart has pointed out that he addressed his past homophobic jokes before, but those statements weren't an act of sincere contrition. As Rachel Leah notes, people outraged over his old homophobic tweets were mainly looking for a sincere apology, which Hart didn't give until stepping down. "Hart is far from the only celebrity — Louis C.K. and Lena Dunham have done this recently as well — to take the frustrating and disappointing approach that the perpetrators of harm or abuse are the ones who get to determine what accountability for that harm should look like," says Leah. "A few half-hearted justifications that the world is too sensitive now is not taking responsibility; stepping away from comedy for some months just to come back and say 'it's been a weird year' is not restitution; discrediting a black woman's sexual assault and then claiming it was a teachable moment is not redress. All of these situations show celebrities centering themselves without listening to or engaging with the communities they hurt."

The former Saturday Night Live star kept quiet in the days after the 41st president of the United States' passing. But in a piece written for The New York Times, Carvey recalls how he created his iconic impression and how it resulted in a friendship with a "lucky" 25-year friendship with George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara Bush "President Ronald Reagan was an easy target," writes Carvey. "He had an impossibly low hairline, a tan, wrinkled face, a bobbling head, and as a bonus, he called his wife Mommy. He was comedy gold. On the other hand, the first President Bush was a comedian’s nightmare. There was nothing to do an impression of — no hook. My take on him, in the early sketches, was actually kind of terrible and not particularly funny. I always had good jokes with the help of two brilliant political satirists, Al Franken and Jim Downey, but my first Bush cold opens were just O.K. Then one late Friday night on the 17th floor of Rockefeller Center, as Franken and I sat in his office racking our brains, something unexpected happened..."

Showrunner Aline Brosh McKenna says of Friday's episode: "I think he brings a different energy to the role, but that’s also because the character’s a different guy. He’s been in recovery for two years, he’s been going to weekly meetings, he’s heard a lot of stories that are way worse than his. I think it’s expanded his humanity, so we’re writing him differently. And the way we’re writing him suits Skylar very well..."

From Amazon's Jack Ryan to Matthew Weiner's "expensive mediocrity" The Romanoffs, "2018 was the year when big money became a kind of new normal on television," says Darren Franich. There was a time not long ago when TV was made cheap, "Hollywood cheap," when there was a clear distinction between movie money and TV money, says Franich. Not anymore. As his EW colleague Kristen Baldwin notes: "Not only is there more television than ever before, the television itself is more everything than ever — the episodes are longer, the budgets are bigger, the concepts are higher, the star wattage is brighter, the language is bluer. Bigger isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but bigger with no boundaries is. With countless networks and streaming platforms pumping out more and more content for our overtaxed eyeballs, it seems the industry’s latest strategy for breaking through the 'clutter' is a) throwing money at a recognizable name, and b) getting out of the way." Sure, some expensive series -- like Homecoming and and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel -- work, but there are too many shows that seem to be given blank checks to spend as much as possible, like Sacha Baron Cohen's Who Is America?, The Romanoffs and Apple’s entire original programming philosophy. Blank Check TV also extends to the TV show trend of "Unnecessary Helicopter" shots, which Franich calls the "single totem for the style of Blank Check television." Netflix, adds Baldwin, "continues to be a prime offender in this space, whether they’re leafblowing money at comedians to make late-night shows they’ll immediately cancel, or boring us to tears with the big-budget bombast of Lost in Space."

"Nothing that happened this week should have surprised anybody and yet it all played out in half-assed Instagram posts and stealthy late-night announcements," says Daniel Fienberg. "That's not how ABC and the Academy should be treating what is a crown jewel for both, nor how Kevin Hart should have treated what he called a life-long dream." Fienberg points out that it is especially mind-boggling that ABC, following its Roseanne Barr disaster six months ago, "would sign off on giving any high-profile or low-profile gig to any individual without knowing every word that person ever posted on Twitter and without a clear and immediate exit strategy in mind." It's even more shocking, he says, that ABC had no plan to deal with the controversy when it erupted on social media. As Fienberg notes, it doesn't take a publicist or crisis manager to figure out that a heartfelt apology, a donation to an LGBTQ organization and a sincere interview with a friendly media outlet would've gone a long way to putting this controversy to rest. "That's the thing," says Fienberg. "These tweets that people 'found' from Kevin Hart? Everybody knew they were there. Everybody. This was simply who Kevin Hart was both on Twitter and in his standup work less than a decade ago. He may be different now. Heaven knows that people are entitled to evolve; it's ideal. But he was still basically this same person when he first hosted the BET Awards and the first of several MTV-sponsored awards shows. Nobody takes those awards shows as seriously as people take the Oscars, nor should they, but the Academy and ABC couldn't possibly have been unaware that Hart is and was a figure with some objectionable stuff in his background — and Hart says he's apologized for this stuff in the past."

ALSO:

• Why wouldn't Kevin Hart just apologize before stepping down?: "Was he feeling that his core following would think he had sold out his beliefs for a job?" asks Mike Fleming Jr. "Does he still hold those beliefs against LGBTQs? Did he really believe that because he is also a stand-up comedian he is entitled to say insulting things to keep his standing as an edgy comic? Did he think, hell, these are just words? It is as hard to say as why he chose to actually apologize only after he stepped away from the job. In the hours preceding, he scoffed at people who didn’t think he had evolved as a 40-year-old man in the eight years since he issued those homophobic tweets. He certainly didn’t come off as contrite or sincere, mostly focused on those who cobbled together the social media missives that fueled his downfall. Hart’s unwillingness to be changeable was his undoing. What is sad is that his versatility and changeability has been one of his biggest assets. His career was built on being changeable."
• Kevin Hart is the "smarmiest, sleaziest, creepiest and unfunniest award show guest of the past decade": "The sheer jaw-dropping badness of this decision defies all logic," says Rob Sheffield. "Hosting the Academy Awards used to be one of the most prestigious, high-profile gigs in show business. How did it become a job they got so desperate to fill, they called Kevin Hart, knowing his shtick? It’s not like his sense of humor is some kind of guilty secret he kept hidden until this week." Sheffield adds: "Not a thing about this fiasco makes a lick of sense. Kevin Hart is a wildly successful movie star and comedian. He is a man of many talents. Award shows are not one of them. He is the smarmiest, sleaziest, creepiest and unfunniest award show guest of the past decade. He usually co-presents with a female movie star and slimes all over her sexually — like at the podium at the 2015 Golden Globes with Salma Hayek, when yes, he made a joke about her 'golden globes' (meaning her breasts) and she just cringed, as we all cringed for her. Salma Hayek was not anointed to host this year’s Oscars. Kevin Hart was."
• The Kevin Hart choice so discounted the Oscars’ gay viewership that it almost felt like a deliberate insult: "It’s an embarrassing tell for the Academy and ABC, an exposure of their baser motivations in this whole process," says Richard Lawson. "I don’t fault them for wanting to hire someone as popular as Kevin Hart is. I guess I do fault them, though, for not seeming to care much about who values the Oscars, who debates and predicts and live-tweets and roots and cheers along. I’m sure there are plenty of shitty straight guys, the kind who would laugh knowingly at Hart’s jokes about beating the gay out of his son, who enjoy the Oscars too. But why is that segment of the viewership so routinely favored over us?"
• Why we need to forgive Kevin Hart: "I fear we’re creating a  disastrous precedent," says Susan Fowler. "In holding people accountable for their old views — even ones they realized were wrong and apologized for — we are setting standards that nobody can meet. We cannot expect to make progress if we do not allow people the chance to grow with us."
• Don't feel sorry for Kevin Hart: "Lying in bed in a sea of plush white linens, looking dejected, Hart filmed himself lamenting those who chose to focus on his words from long ago and who refused to let him evolve," says C. Nicole Mason, adding: "Hart’s solemn indignation is a trick meant to cause us to question our moral compass and to empathize with him, the person being called to account. It is straight out of a now-familiar playbook used by powerful wrongdoers to fashion themselves as the victim and to whip up public support and empathy."

The Howie Mandel-hosted game show returned this week on CNBC after a nearly 10-year hiatus. But is Deal or No Deal out of step with the times? "In 2018, as the culture continues to grapple with the way women have been disregarded and sometimes abused by Hollywood and its machers, Deal and shows like it raise an awkward question: Is this a convention whose time is up?" asks Lara Zarum. "Series like Deal encapsulate the paradox of the modern game-show modeling gig: On one hand, it offers a stiletto-heeled foot in the door for many young women who aspire to careers in entertainment — Meghan Markle and Chrissy Teigen, among others, got their starts on Deal or No Deal. Vanna White, who has been turning letters on Wheel of Fortune since 1983, has shaped that gig into a long, multifaceted career...On the other hand, it is unclear whether those advantages are worth the broader message it may communicate in the wake of #MeToo."

The Joss Whedon trio of Buffy, Angel and Firefly -- released, respectively, last Friday, Saturday and Sunday -- combined for 949,000 views. Nearly half the total was for Buffy's first episode. "So, not really a slay," says Todd Spangler, pointing to Facebook's 185 million daily active users. "However you look at it, those aren’t the kind of TV-level numbers that Facebook execs have hoped for with the Watch strategy." Facebook users also didn't engage much with the three shows, even though the social network rolled them out with a "Watch Party" strategy.

From Netflix to Hallmark Channel to Lifetime, there are way too many dead parents in Christmas TV movies, says Brian Moylan. "There are a ton of tropes in these movies — small businesses that need saving, high-school sweethearts reconnecting, women inheriting property, single parents finding love again — and yet they all rely on a parent, spouse, or other beloved family member kicking the bucket," he says. "They say that magic always has a price, but when it comes to Christmas magic, it seems like the price is your dad (or mom!) has to die."

I hope more women in entertainment gain ownership of their work, it’s about time we get what so many of the men in this business get.”

“At this time, BET Networks will not be moving forward with a fifth season of Hit the Floor,” a rep for the cable channel said of the cheerleader-themed soap opera. “We are grateful to the most passionate fans ever who helped to bring one more season of the #DevilsNation to the screen, and the incredible cast and dancers."

"It’s the sort of balance that, really, every TV show has to find — take How I Met Your Mother’s years-long struggle to postpone revealing who the titular Mom was, or as a positive example the deft way in which every aspect of life in Baltimore was blended together on The Wire," says Liz Shannon Miller. "But shows like Manifest highlight that particular struggle, because telling relatable human stories with fantastical elements is so tricky that one moment of misalignment reveals all the flaws."

The second-year Saturday Night Live featured player was, up until a few years ago, working at a salon while performing with Los Angeles' famed Groundlings comedy troupe. Gardner spoke to Vulture about her ascent and what makes her unique. "Oh jeez!" she says. "Well, I bet anyone could probably replicate my characters because the people on SNL can do anything. I like to get pretty specific with a character. Not only behavior, but emotional. I go really deep into emotions and get as emotional as a performer as possible. I welcome it. I like to get as specific as possible to a fault. Sometimes I think about it a little too much, and I’m like, Enough!"

Past TV shows rebooted to emphasize diversity, like Charmed or the upcoming Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot are bound to be problematic, says Emma Grey Ellis. "This is where the of vast majority of woke-ified reboots fail," she says. "They respond to calls for change by retreading old ground—an insulting move on a few different levels. Reboots, remakes, and sequels abound because they’re easy to get greenlit: Executives feel safer shelling out cash for things they know have worked before, things that have a built-in audience. Which is already unsatisfying, but somewhat worse when you consider that many of these reboots have female showrunners and/or showrunners of color, some of whom have explicitly stated that doing a remake of an existing show is the only way to get their stories greenlit. The implication: Stories about women and minorities aren’t seen as marketable enough to stand on their own, unless they are standing on the shoulders of a story by and for white men. Which, even just from a box office numbers standpoint, is plainly wrong."

"In the past 30 years," says Keith Phipps, "MST3K has undergone many well-documented ups and downs—a pickup by Comedy Central, Hodgson’s departure, the addition of new host Mike Nelson, a pickup by what was then known as the Sci-Fi Channel, cancellation, years of absence, Hodgson’s return and an accompanying Kickstarter campaign, the addition of new host Jonah Ray for its two seasons at Netflix—but its core remains fundamentally the same. Dumb movies, smart jokes, repeat."

"This is (the) best #wokecharlotte ever," Davis tweeted of seeing a new "Woke Charlotte" meme. As People reports, Sex and the City fans have "created many memes of Davis’ character in the iconic show which depict Charlotte having a fierce and witty comeback to the sexiest or backward lines that were uttered by some characters in the show."

"It still feels like we're shooting in a vacuum a little bit, because it's a really intense show to shoot," says Brosnahan. "We have a lot of pages in a very short period of time, really long hours, and so we do get to escape. We got to dig deeper into almost all the relationships on the show this year, and I'm so fortunate that as Midge, I have relationships on the show with almost every other character. I enjoyed getting to work more with so much of our core ensemble, and to be able to shoot more together. That was one of the biggest differences between season one and two, is that in season two, you get to see a lot more of the whole family, and the whole ensemble together. Those scenes were fun to shoot — crazy, psychotic, but fun, just to get to see each actor and character have moments to shine."

The head of the nation's largest LGBTQ advocacy group didn't intend for Hart to step down as Oscars host. “Kevin Hart shouldn’t have stepped down; he should have stepped up,” GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement. “Hart’s apology to LGBTQ people is an important step forward, but he missed a real opportunity to use his platform and the Oscars stage to build unity and awareness.” Ellis said GLAAD would “still welcome that conversation with him.” In an interview on CNN, Ellis said GLAAD wanted this to be a "teachable moment." “This wasn’t the conclusion I think everyone would have liked,” Ellis said on CNN.

"Hart’s history might have doomed him from the start," says Sam Adams, "but he’s hardly the first prospective Oscars host with questionable material in his past—Seth MacFarlane and Chris Rock got the gig, after all—and though these may be more sensitive times, there’s also an established protocol for resolving these kinds of issues: a sincere apology, an interview with a sympathetic journalist, maybe a charitable donation or two." Hart did ultimately apologize, but only after announcing he was stepping down. Adams adds: "What Hart’s posts didn’t contain was anything resembling a genuine apology, or even a hint that he was genuinely sorry. If anything, he seemed to want an apology from other people for not already understanding what a good and happy person he is. It’s possible that no new words from Hart could have wiped away his old ones, but an act of public contrition would at least have given the Academy a leg to stand on. Instead, Hart posted a video saying he had just gotten off the phone and been told he needed to apologize to keep the job, and then signed off without apologizing—at which point both his and the Academy’s hands were effectively tied. A few hours after the second video, Hart tweeted he had 'made the choice' to step away from the hosting job and then ended up posting the apology that might have allowed him to keep the job in the first place."

Proposals from Hollywood stars on who should replace Kevin Hart ranged frokm Patton Oswalt to Kathy Griffin to Lin-Manuel Miranda to Melissa McCarthy.
