Late-night awards controversy continues.

HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver was pulled from consideration for the Critics Choice Awards as a result of a category change.

The organization changed the rules, stating that only shows that “involve conversation” should be nominated for Best Talk Show at the event. Oliver obviously rarely talks to anyone else on his weekly HBO show, unlike his late-night peers.

The news emerged after Hot Ones, The Daily Show, The Graham Norton Show, John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A., The Kelly Clarkson Show and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert were nominated in the category.

Instead, organizers wanted the Avalon-produced show to go into Best Comedy Series, where it would have competed with Abbott Elementary, English Teacher, Hacks, Nobody Wants This, Only Murders in the Building, Somebody Somewhere, St. Denis Medical and What We Do in the Shadows for a nomination.

Anthony Jeselnik is coming back to Netflix this fall with his latest stand-up special, “Bones and All.” The special will premiere globally on Nov. 26.

This marks the third Netflix stand-up special from the comedian. Previously, Jeselnik released “Fire in the Maternity Ward” for the streamer in 2019, as well as “Thoughts and Prayers” in 2015. His previous comedy albums were 2013’s “Caligula” and 2010’s “Shakespeare,” both of which were released by Comedy Central Records.

Jeselnik is currently on his “Bones and All” tour, which celebrates “20 years of delivering witty, boundary-pushing comedy,” according to a Wednesday press release for the upcoming special.

“Bones and All” comes from Above Average Productions. Jeselnik serves as both the special’s performer and executive producer alongside Christie Smith, Ally Engelberg and Marc Lieberman. Bill Benz will serve as its director.

Jeselnik can currently be heard on his podcast, “The Jeselnik and Rosenthal Vanity Project,” which he hosts alongside Gregg Rosenthal.

The impressive roster of guest stars on Peacock’s Emmy-winning comedy “Poker Face” continues to grow. In a recent press release, the streamer announced John Mulaney (“John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in LA”), Ego Nwodim and Sam Richardson will guest star on Season 2.

“Poker Face” is a mystery-of-the-week series following Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie, who has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road with her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but solve.

Season 1 premiered on Peacock in January 2023 to rave reviews and quickly became certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The show’s first season received four Primetime Emmy nominations, including Best Comedy Actress for Lyonne, and garnered Peacock its first Emmy win for Judith Light‘s Best Comedy Guest Actress performance.

John Mulaney, Ego Nwodim and Sam Richardson have joined the cast of “Poker Face” Season 2.

Mulaney, Nwodim and Richardson will guest star in the second installment of the Peacock mystery series, which is currently in production.

Netflix is getting in to the talk show genre. The streaming giant announced today that they are adding a weekly talk show to their line-up. Netflix funny man John Mulaney is set to host the new series, which doesn’t have an official name yet.

Netflix has had an impressive collection off stand-up comedies for quite a while now. The streamer has been featuring comedy specials for almost ten years now, and John Mulaney has always been a fan favorite.

Netflix Adds New Talk Show

Mulaney actually has several programs already available to be streamed on Netflix, including stand-up comedy routines like Comeback Kid, Kid Gorgeous, and Baby J.

In May 2023 his new series John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A. debuted on Netflix and did well. The six episodes featured Mulaney as host, and some big name guests like Jerry Seinfeld and David Letterman as guest hosts.

The comedian previously partnered with Netflix on ‘John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A.’

The ranks of late-night luminaries like David Letterman, Johnny Carson, and Conan O’Brien are going to have to make room for a new member. The Hollywood Reporter has details about a newly planned live variety talk show that Netflix plans to offer, which will feature beloved comedian John Mulaney.

Key Details: Mulaney’s as-yet-unnamed show will debut on Netflix next year. The comedian previously worked with Netflix on a live project earlier this year. Netflix is continuing to make additions to its live programming slate in 2025. Sign Up $6.99+ / month netflix.com

THR reports that Mulaney will debut the new, live talk show in early 2025. Specific details are still being held close to the vest, but Mulaney will serve as the executive producer and co-showrunner of the series, so he’ll have plenty of creative control. The series...

Everybody will be in LA every week — and by “everybody,” we mean John Mulaney, and by “in LA,” we mean “live on Netflix.”

The comedian will host, executive-produce, and co-showrun an as-yet-untitled live variety talk show on Netflix starting in early 2025, the streamer’s chief content officer Bela Bajaria announced at the Bloomberg Screentime conference on Thursday (via The Hollywood Reporter). The show will build upon the success of Mulaney’s Emmy-nominated talk show “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in LA,” the live format Netflix launched earlier this year.

That show did six live episodes featuring sketches, field pieces, celebrity interviews, musical guests, and more. And now Netflix officially wants more.

“We have a long relationship with John, and we have done the stand-up specials, and during Netflix Is a Joke Festival this year, he did a live talk show called ‘Everybody’s in LA,’” Bajaria said at the conference. “I...

The Comeback Kid. Baby J. Andrew Glouberman. John Mulaney has many names in the Netflix universe, and he’s about to claim one more: live variety talk show host. On Oct. 10, Netflix announced an order for a new live variety talk show by the comedian, set to premiere in early 2025. Mulaney will host, co-showrun, and executive produce the show through his Multiple Camera Productions.

The announcement heralds the continuation of the partnership between Emmy Award–winning Mulaney and Netflix. As part of this year’s Netflix is a Joke Fest, he hosted the live, six-episode talk show John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in LA., as well as stand-up specials John Mulaney: Baby J (2023), The Comeback Kid (2015), and Kid Gorgeous at Radio City(2018). The comedian was also a guest on a spring 2024 episode of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman, which won the Emmy for Outstanding Hosted...

Need a zaftig character actor with a sweet smile and a can-do attitude? Richard Kind has you covered. The “Only Murders in the Building” guest star and announcer of “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in LA” is known to pop on screen left and right, with roles in multiple film and television shows over the last few years, including Apple TV+’s upcoming crime comedy “Wolfs” with close friend George Clooney. Discussing why he chooses to keep his work life so active in a recent interview with Vulture, Kind explained how, in large part, it’s just part of the practicality of being a provider.

“The big reason is I have three children in college,” he said. “I will whore myself because I have to pay for their college.”

Even when it means working on a low-budget set where “the director was the one doing the clapboard,” Kind is happy to...

In a world full of TV reboots and rehashes of the same idea, FX has started its fall with “English Teacher,” a new comedy from Brian Jordan Alvarez. The series already secured a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and has inspired posts from viewers on Twitter in TikTok.

Set in Austin, Texas, “English Teacher” follows an openly gay teacher by the name of Evan Marquez who wants to encourage his students and community to be more accepting. More often than not, that desire leads to Evan having to confront his own assumptions and being forced to chill out. Wonder who’s who in the new show filled with new faces? Here’s your guide to the cast of this comedy.

Joe Rogan is heading back on stage for another comedy special – and with “Burn the Boats,” he’s doing it live on Netflix.

The comedian and podcast host plans to shoot his third special for the streamer live on Saturday, Aug. 3 at the Majestic Theater in San Antonio, Texas. His last previous two specials on Netflix were “Joe Rogan: Strange Times” in 2018 and “Joe Rogan: Triggered” in 2016.

Rogan’s special is the latest live event Netflix hosted after “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage,” “The Roast of Tom Brady” and “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in LA.”

But how do you watch the special, what time does it start, and can you watch it if you miss the live premiere? Everything you need to know is answered below.

What time does it start?

“Joe Rogan: Burn the Boats” begins on Saturday, Aug. 3 at 7 p.m. Pt / 9 p.m. Ct / 10 p.m. Et. As...

Editor’s note: This post has been updated to include more information on how the Lead Actor and Actress in a Comedy Series categories expanded.

To say these past five years have been a rollercoaster for the television industry would be an understatement. Through a global pandemic and a full work stoppage as the WGA and SAG struck for fair wages, we have seen the amount of TV shows vastly expand and contract, making each annual set of Emmy nominations feel fresh (even if some shows still win every year.)

Barely giving us a chance to breathe after the postponed 2023 Emmys happened just this January, the 2024 Primetime Emmy nominations tell a whole new, post-strike story where some of the shows that have been on the nominations bubble for years finally popped. Meanwhile new series, which usually have a premium on awards nominations, did not fare as well as expected.

Given...

As uncertainty over potential writers, directors, and actors strikes (the writers and actors would go on to strike) loomed large last spring, indie filmmakers could not get their movies off the ground. After all, why start what you might not be able to finish? Planned production days were lost, and workers were, well, not working. This spring it was déjà vu all over again, according to FilmLA’s new quarterly report.

Facing potential strikes from IATSE and/or the Teamsters, on-location shoot days in Los Angeles from April through June dropped 12.4 percent from the same period in 2023. That may be a surprising statistic considering the WGA was actually on strike for May and June of last year. Overall shoot days declined 15.7 percent from the start of the year, January-March 2024.

And if you are a worker on an unscripted TV show, well, you probably had a lot of (unwanted) time off over the past three months.

This Wednesday, over 3,300 Gold Derby users will finally come to realize the extent of their savviness in predicting the 2024 Primetime Emmy nominations. As of now, 78% of our generally predicted nominees in 25 categories have the unanimous support of our experts, editors, Top 24 users, and All-Star 24 users, but each of those subgroups retains a few unique ideas as to how the official lineups will turn out.

It’s safe to say that the likeliest surprise nominees are those who are backed by multiple Gold Derby predictor subsets despite not appearing on our main forecasted rosters. This includes editor, top 24, and all-star picks Paul W. Downs and Fumi Nikaido as well as two-list hopefuls Maya Rudolph, Christopher Lloyd, and Finn Bennett.

Most of our generally predicted winners are fully agreed upon, but several deviations are still holding strong. Within the last week, our editors broke from the crowd to champion movie/limited actress...

The 40th annual TCA Awards released its list of winners on Friday ahead of the first in-person ceremony in five years. FX’s “Shōgun” led the winners’ circle, taking home four prizes from the Television Critics Assn. — including individual achievement in drama for Anna Sawai, as well as outstanding achievement in drama, program of the year and new program of the year.

The latest season of Max’s “Hacks” also saw success with Jean Smart taking the award for individual achievement in comedy and the series taking home the outstanding achievement in comedy award, beating out last year’s winner, “The Bear,” and 2022’s winner, “Abbott Elementary.”

The TCA recognized David Lynch and Mark Frost’s mystery series “Twin Peaks” with the Heritage Award for its incredible significance and impact. The 1990 series, which was led by Kyle MacLachlan, ran for two seasons.

The annual Career Achievement award went to the late Andre Braugher,...

Exclusive: Audra McDonald (The Gilded Age), K. Todd Freeman (The Horror of Dolores Roach), Mary-Louise Parker (Weeds), Richard Kind (Only Murders in the Building) and Ben Vereen (All That Jazz) have been set to topline The Auction, a new indie from writer-director William Atticus Parker.

Described by the filmmaker as “a workplace drama with elements of fantasy and horror,” the film is a loose adaptation of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None. Further plot details are being kept under wraps.

The son of Mary-Louise Parker, William will also make his feature acting debut in The Auction and produce alongside Sabina Friedman-Seitz (Atrabilious) and Cory Asinofsky. William’s sister, Ash Parker, will write and compose an original song for the pic, with production to kick off in New York this summer.

Joe Rogan is back with his first comedy special in six years, a live event that will stream on Netflix Aug. 3 at 7 p.m. Pt.

Titled “Burn the Boats,” the special will be filmed live at the Majestic Theater in San Antonio, Texas. It’s directed by Anthony Giordano, a veteran director of televised UFC fights who has also helmed four of Rogan’s specials: 2018’s “Strange Times,” 2016’s “Triggered,” 2012’s “Live From the Tabernacle” and 2009’s “Talking Monkeys in Space.”

“Don’t get mad at me, you know why you came here. … Jokes, folks. Just jokes,” Rogan says in the trailer.

“Burn the Boats” is executive produced by Rogan, Giordano, Jeff Sussman, Chandra Keyes and Brady Nasfell.

The special joins recent Netflix live comedy events including Chris Rock’s 2023 special “Selective Outrage” and this year’s “The Roast of Tom Brady” and “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A.”

The fact that the 76th Emmy nominations voting round ended on Monday means that Gold Derby’s users have had over 10 days to make their picks in five categories that were previously not included in our predictions center. After taking very little time to form, these new consensus lineups have remained virtually unchanged for nearly two weeks, presumably because they generally consist of tried-and-true contenders and almost exclusively align with the prospect of repeat wins.

Based on the predictions of all 3,000 of our participating readers, the only major change that has occurred in the five new categories since voting opened is “Top Chef” presenter Kristen Kish’s displacement of Gordon Ramsay (“Next Level Chef”) in the Best Reality/Competition Host lineup. A closer examination of the opinions of our predictor subgroups reveals more discrepancies, including that our editors stand alone in still backing Ramsay and forecasting a second consecutive Best...

Contrary to the common story of celebrity drug addiction, stand-up comedy superstar John Mulaney says that a life in show business didn’t exacerbate his past problems with substance abuse. All fame did for Mulaney’s drug addiction was make his intervention a star-studded affair.

Before Mulaney’s personal life was front-page entertainment news and his behind-the-scenes struggle with heavy drug use were common knowledge, the legendary Saturday Night Live writer and Emmy-winning stand-up explicitly addressed his past problems with alcohol in his breakout hit special John Mulaney: New in Town. “That surprises a lot of audiences because I don't look like someone who used to do anything,” Mulaney commented after revealing that he had to quit drinking after too many binges, “I look like I was just sitting in a room in a chair eating saltines for like 28 years and then I walked right out here.”

On June 6, the 2024 IndieWire Honors ceremony will celebrate 13 creators and stars responsible for some of the most stellar work of the TV season. Curated and selected by IndieWire’s editorial team, the event is a new edition of previous IndieWire Honors ceremonies, this time focused entirely on television. We’re showcasing their work with new interviews leading up to the Los Angeles celebration.

John Mulaney is talking about Marcia Clark.

To fans of the comedian, this shouldn’t come as a surprise — the former O.J. Simpson prosecutor has been a guest on his “Oh, Hello” Broadway show, the trial popped up in his stand-up, and Clark recently appeared on Netflix’s hilarious talk series “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in LA.”

“The O.J. Simpson trial was just an all-consuming experience for me as a kid, and I could talk about it for hours and hours,” Mulaney told IndieWire during a recent interview.

Netflix’s rom-com “Mother of the Bride” and Will Forte crime drama series “Bodkin” led the Luminate streaming originals chart for the week of May 10-16, elbowing past higher-profile competition.

Two buzzy streaming original movies — Netflix’s “Unfrosted” and Amazon Prime Video’s “The Idea of You” — held up well in their second full week in release. The Jake Gyllenhaal starrer “Road House” continues to be a work horse for Prime Video, which confirmed earlier this week that a second installment is in development. A surprise on the original film chart was Netflix documentary “Living with Leopards,” which debuted at No. 7.

“Bodkin,” which revolves around a podcast crew that comes to investigate the disappearance of three people from a small town in Ireland years before, moved swiftly up the original streaming series chart, passing Netflix’s “A Man in Full.” The Jeff Daniels’ starrer came in at No. 2 in its second full week in release.

Everyone’s in the Emmy race, but Netflix and the Television Academy feel John Mulaney is better suited for a different category than intended — and that may only benefit his awards run.

Netflix’s live smash “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A,.” featuring the Emmy-winning stand-up comedian celebrating the quirks and unique personality of his beloved city, was massively popular on the platform. The streaming giant had planned to submit the show into the scripted variety category, where it would compete against the long-running “Saturday Night Live” and “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.” However, Variety has learned exclusively that Netflix and the creative team felt the show was better suited for the talk series category and, as a result, will now compete against late-night hosts such as Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Fallon.

In the meantime, correspondent Jordan Klepper will assume Stewart’s hosting duties until Wednesday evening. On Thursday, Stewart will return to the host chair.

Stewart has filled in as a temporary Monday evening host on the Daily Show for the past two months. He will continue hosting on Mondays — except for this week, when he will appear on Thursday — through the presidential election.

John Mulaney‘s new Netflix series John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in LA premiered on Monday night (May 6), and all anyone can seem to talk about is his new hairstyle. The show, which is part live talk show, part sketch show, and part stand-up comedy, features a wide range of guests. For example, Monday’s episode saw appearances from Jerry Seinfeld, Will Ferrell, St. Vincent, Richard Kind, Stavros Halkias, Natasha Leggero, Chelsea Peretti, and more. But the biggest star was Mulaney’s new cut, which was long in the back and featured 1990s-style curtains at the front. Fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the comedian’s new do, and opinions were mixed, to say the least. “I like the Clark Kent thing John Mulaney’s got going on with his hair,” one fan wrote on X. “John Mulaney’s hair in Everybody’s in LA is beautiful,...
