On Sunday, HBO released an "official tease" containing new footage, but not from the final season. Creators/showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss say an official full-length trailer is coming, but they would have preferred to not release one at all. “(David Lynch) was saying he wished there were no trailers,” Benioff said when EW asked about the final season trailer. “And it’s true, you could just go into a movie and see something completely fresh.” Weiss added: "I wish there were no trailers. I just want somebody to say, ‘Trust me, go see this.'” An official trailer is, however, in the works, thanks -- at least in part -- to the duos experience seeing Westworld's trailer playing in a theater. Explains Weiss: “We went and saw Ready Player One with our kids and they played the Westworld trailer and it looked great. And we’re like, ‘Ah, we should do that.'”

"It’s all settled quietly and happily for all concerned," the 66-year-old Costas tells The New York Post of his departure. Costas first joined NBC in 1979. Despite having a multimillion-dollar contract expiring in 2021, NBC didn't know what to do with Costas after he left NBC Sports' Football Night in America and NBC Olympics coverage. So Costas and NBC have reached a settlement allowing his exit from the network after four decades. “If I do anything else, it will be a hybrid of my HBO show and Later," Costas said of his future plans.

"It's strange to watch legacy shows be so slow to adapt to change," says Matt Miller, pointing out that Family Guy was making gay jokes in the recent past. "Like The Simpsons, for example, which refuses to respond to the show's Apu problem. These cartoons, which position themselves as progressive legacy comedy brands, refuse to stop old, offensive practices—displaying the same ideological stubbornness as the Trump supporters they consistently mock. Yes, Family Guy is 'just a cartoon,' but it's also a show that averages 2.5 million viewers a week, and teaches adults and children alike what humor is deemed acceptable. In a lot of ways, this show is more influential than a Kevin Hart tweet or stand-up joke from 2010. What's bizarre is that the show seems so proud to point out that it is so late to the game to have common decency. So, to say they're going to 'phase out' gay jokes is not a progressive win or a brave thing to do. Maybe just stop. It's something that the show should have done a long time ago (or better yet, never done at all)."

"That’s what is exactly going on here," says host Mark L. Walberg of the 24 singles looking for love. Walberg is reprising his hosting role on USA 15 years after the debut of Temptation Island on Fox. Asked about the differences between then and now, Walberg responds: "I don’t know if it’s too different than before. We acknowledge their journey more. It may have been the case before, but we sort of looked at them as tempters. Now we’re really looking at the fact that these people are also at a crossroads. They are hoping to find love, and it’s not so much about them trying to just break up a couple. It’s also maybe about one of these people is better for them too. I like that it’s a two-way street now." ALSO: Walberg explains the behind-the-scenes thinking of Temptation Island.

Zamata said in a recent five-minute rant about CK's act that she has no problem with comedians saying whatever they want, but there needs to be a real take. “You can’t just get up onstage and say blatantly racist, transphobic, victim-blaming statements without a punch line!

HGTV has also picked up the rights to air 100 episodes of the original Extreme Makeover: Home Edition hosted by Ty Pennington. HGTV has yet to decide who will host the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition revival. “We like to come up with our own formats and our own ideas, but every now and then, there’s something out there that just makes so much sense form a brand perspective that we have to do it,” says Kathleen Finch, chief lifestyle brands officer for Discovery, which now owns HGTV. “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is such an iconic show. It’s an emotional story centered around a house. There is real drama, and real stakes around a home being rebuilt.”

TV audiences may best know Channing for her recurring role as Aunt Sylvia Suvall on The Love Boat. Or for playing herself on everything from The Drew Carey Show to Touched by an Angel. But she was also a pioneer when it comes to TV sports. The first Super Bowls had marching bands perform at halftime. In 1970, Channing became the first celebrity to perform at a Super Bowl halftime, taking the stage at Super Bowl IV in New Orleans. Channing wasn't actually the focus of the halftime show, which still had bands, but she did perform "When the Saints Go Marchin In" and was invited back two years later. "It was like an opening night on Broadway, except we didn’t have much time to prepare for that first appearance," Channing recalled in 2016. "It felt a little like an after-thought. It must have been well received, because they asked me back two years later."

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is expected to announce she's running for president when she visits Colbert's Late Show on Tuesday. "Welcome to the Stephen Colbert primary," says CNN's Brian Stelter. He notes that in recent months Colbert has hosted Democrats with presidential aspirations, including Sen. Bernie Sanders and former HUD secretary Julián Castro last month, and Sen. Kamala Harris last week. Promoting her new memoir, Harris was given the No. 1 guest slot last Thursday, a spot usually reserved for a celebrity that typically runs for two segments. "Iowa. New Hampshire. Donor enclaves on the coasts. And... the Ed Sullivan Theater?" says Stelter. "Yes, the home of Stephen Colbert's Late Show is proving to be a key stop for Democrats who are positioning themselves for 2020 presidential bids." Stelter adds: "Colbert's studio is a logical place for Democrats to tease presidential campaign plans. He has a liberal fan base dating back to his days on Comedy Central, and that audience crystallized after Colbert took aim at then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016...Colbert's interviews with politicians have not been a drag on the show's ratings. If anything, they've been a boon."

"I’m 100 percent behind Andy,” Steve Burke tells Variety in defending Lack after a series of NBC News controversies. “When the drumbeat began of ‘You gotta fire this guy’ — a lot of that was really unfair. Matt Lauer was a grenade that we didn’t know was a grenade. I was here seven years and I thought Matt Lauer was the greatest interviewer in news.” Burke adds that it was him who ultimately signed off on bringing Kelly aboard. “Megyn Kelly was a huge talent," he says. "She was at the wrong time of day (on NBC). In hindsight we shouldn’t have done it. But it wasn’t Andy going off rogue."

Executive producer Rich Appel tells TVLine it's not that they were pressured to change when it comes to gay jokes -- it's that "we’ve changed too. The climate is different, the culture is different and our views are different. They’ve been shaped by the reality around us, so I think the show has to shift and evolve in a lot of different ways.” Fellow executive producer Alec Sulkin says: “If you look at a show from 2005 or 2006 and put it side by side with a show from 2018 or 2019, they’re going to have a few differences. Some of the things we felt comfortable saying and joking about back then, we now understand is not acceptable.”

A line in the teaser from the late Catelyn Stark "sums up all the bullsh*t I hate about the show at times and what makes it such a frustrating adaptation as a book fan," says Princess Weekes.

ALSO: Redditors are trying to comb the teaser for clues even though the footage won't be part of the final season.

"It’s a dull political thriller, predictable procedural, and an even worse horror show, and its attempts at humor feel out of whack with the overwhelmingly self-serious tone of everything else," says Kyle Fowle. "On top of all that, there’s hardly a single actor that can convey an emotion beyond being gruff. That’s not necessarily the fault of the actors, because the writing is atrocious."
