Late night TV star and former SNL regular Jimmy Fallon made his Broadway debut last night, even if it won’t be particularly a long-running gig. Fallon will do eight performances of All In: Comedy About Love, Simon Rich’s episodic tales of love that features an ever-evolving cast week after week.

The late-night talk show took his spot last night alongside Lin-Manuel Miranda, Aidy Bryant, Fallon and Nick Kroll; that group performs, sans Miranda, wrap up on February 2. (Miranda hangs around until February 16).

Proving one of the more popular, and unusual, productions of the winter Broadway season, All In began performances at Broadway’s Hudson Theatre on December 11, with a revolving cast that has included John Mulaney, Fred Armisen, Renée Elise Goldsberry and Richard Kind.

Other performances taking their turns before the production closes February 16 have been Chloe Fineman and Andrew Rannells, with Nick Kroll, David Cross, Annaleigh Ashford,...

It could practically be its own subgenre by now – the low-cost indie that gets maximum production value out of being set completely in a cabin in the woods. It’s an isolated location with a limited cast where anything can happen and the characters, left to their own devices (and usually without cell phone service), can indulge in pages and pages of budget-friendly dialogue. Maybe there’s a supernatural element or suspense undertones. Add a point if there’s a reference to Sam Raimi’s “Evil Dead” series, perhaps the ultimate cheap cabin-in-the-woods franchise.

You get that the filmmaking team behind “Oh, Hi!,” an endlessly charming romantic comedy that just premiered at Sundance, knows how embedded the cliches of a cabin-in-the-woods indie can be. It zigs where you think it’ll zag, weaponizing that knowledge and using it to subvert expectations. It constantly keeps you on your toes in a way that feels refreshing,...

David Cross is a man of discerning cinematic taste, as evidenced by the time he sacrificed a $150,000 bonus just to warn all of America not to see his newest movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked.

On the latest episode of his podcast, Senses Working Overtime with David Cross, the Arrested Development star chatted with Nick Kroll, and a not insignificant portion of their conversation was about movies.

“I have been in some good movies. I’ve also been in some shit movies,” Cross confessed while somehow resisting the urge to dunk on Chipwrecked again. Although he did admit that most of the films he’s made are actually pretty good. Like how he played Allen Ginsberg in the Bob Dylan-inspired I’m Not There. And also Allen Ginsberg’s father in the Daniel Radcliffe movie Kill Your Darlings.

“I figured you’d played the entire Ginsberg catalog,” Kroll joked. “If...

Last week, the Broadway play All In: Comedy About Love got very dramatic about money – weekly box office, specifically, with grosses topping $1 million, an impressive feat for any play not named Mary. Figure in that All In isn’t really a play at all, but a collection of readings by the short comic fiction writer Simon Rich and I thought the box office tally seemed something akin to a Christmas miracle.

Then I actually saw All In, and count me among the Rich converts. Directed by the ever nimble Alex Timbers and performed by a rotating cast of four actors – I was lucky to get the truly excellent John Mulaney, Fred Armisen, Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Richard Kind – the 90-minute All In is a perfect holiday snickerdoodle, a light and tasty snack no less funny for its brevity and lack of splashy production values.

There have been plenty of great sci-fi comedies in the last decade, from underrated gems to award winners and summer blockbusters. Sci-fi comedies are often best when they balance their two genres well. Movies like Back to the Future and Men in Black, for example, have thrilling stories and intriguing sci-fi concepts, as well as great jokes and strong comedic performances.

In the last 10 years, sci-fi comedies have been used to lovingly poke fun at the genre, but sci-fi has also been used as a guise to facilitate plenty of social commentary and satire. Movies like Sorry to Bother You, Palm Springs and The Lobster all use sci-fi concepts to show how unusual everyday life has become for people in the here and now. Other sci-fi comedies have used humor to lighten up some cerebral stories that could otherwise be too dystopian and depressing.

Sorry To Bother You (2018) A Unique...

Live from New York ... it's Broadway. Former Saturday Night Live writer Simon Rich has a new Broadway play, and he's brought in some of the show's biggest stars from past and present.

Rich spent four years as a writer on Saturday Night Live, joining the staff in 2007. He frequently collaborated with John Mulaney, writing elaborate premise-based sketches that often found their audience after "Weekend Update" when more experimental material got a chance to shine.

Now, Rich is taking his talents to broadway with All In: Comedy About Love. The play takes Rich's short stories about dating, marriage, and heartbreak and has some of his comedian friends read the stories out loud.

All In will run between December 18 and February 16 at the Hudson Theater in New York City. Performances will feature a rotating cast of four actors, several of whom have connections to Saturday Night Live.

Mulaney will perform in shows...

Note: The following story contains spoilers from “What We Do in the Shadows” Season 6, Episode 9.

From its first season, “What We Do in the Shadows” has been a show unafraid to cheekily drop big names, especially if the actors in question have a vampire on their IMDb page. And in its final season, the FX comedy embraced its chaotic, star-studded side once more.

“Come Out and Play” once again finds the Staten Island crew among the many, many, many throngs of vampires that inhabit New York, from the Meatpacking hotties to the aspiring artist vampires who have to hold down day jobs as baristas. But there’s one especially tall, pale and questioning vamp that may have caught viewers’ eyes. Here’s your guide to the “True Blood” star who’s casually in this latest season.

For comedy legend David Cross, starring in three films for the Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise was a supposedly fun thing he’ll never do again.

When the Mr. Show star and co-creator first signed on for a half-live-action, half-animated film featuring the novelty song sensations Alvin and the Chipmunks, he earned significant ridicule from the ironic Gen-x alt-comedy scene that he was supposed to represent respectfully in the mainstream. In a blog post, Patton Oswalt claimed that 20th Century Fox offered both him and Brian Posehn the role of the greedy Jett Records executive Ian Hawke in the 2007 movie Alvin and the Chipmunks, but “we both threw the script across the room in disgust. David Cross caught it.”

Well, two Alvin and the Chipmunks movies later, the disgust caught up to Cross, as he would go on to describe the making of the tropical 2011 sequel film Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked...

Nick Kroll has joined the cast of the Broadway show All In: Comedy About Love.

The comedian and Big Mouth co-creator will join the rotating cast from Jan. 14 through Feb. 2, acting alongside Lin-Manuel Miranda, Aidy Bryant, Andrew Rannells and Jimmy Fallon. He replaces previously announced cast member Sam Richardson.

The play kicks off with John Mulaney from Dec. 11 through Jan. 12 and other cast members including Fred Armisen, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Richard Kind and Chloe Fineman. All In: Comedy About Love runs at the Hudson Theatre through Feb. 16, with an official opening night on Dec. 22.

The show, written by Simon Rich and directed by Alex Timbers, features a series of humorous stories about dating, heartbreak, marriage and more, adapted from short stories written by Rich that had previously appeared in The New Yorker.

Musical duo The Bengsons (Abigail and Shaun Bengson) will be performing songs from The Magnetic Fields during the show.

Peter Sinfield, King Crimson’s lyricist, live technical wizard, and roadie, died Thursday, Nov. 14. He was 80.

Sinfield’s death was confirmed by Discipline Global Mobile, the record label founded by King Crimson’s Robert Fripp. No cause of death was given, though the statement did mention that Sinfield “had been suffering form declining health for several years.” A rep for Dgm did not immediately return Rolling Stone’s request for comment.

Sinfield played a significant role in the formation and early success of King Crimson, serving as lyricist and artistic director,...

Henry Cavill seems to be verse-jumping as he was recently seen in DC’s rival franchise, the MCU’s Deadpool & Wolverine. The actor had a small cameo as a Wolverine variant a.k.a The Cavillrine in Deadpool & Wolverine. This came after his exit as Superman from the Dceu after James Gunn took over and chose to go with a new actor instead.

Cavill has headlined The Witcher, starred in Mission Impossible: Fallout, and has played Sherlock Holmes, making him a franchise-favorite actor. While the James Bond role seems to be elusive to him, the actor had expressed interest in being a part of another legendary franchise, provided a new film met his expectations.

The nepo baby discourse as it pertains to the arts is typically a grievance-driven undertaking that allows low- to no-talent individuals the opportunity to blame someone other than themselves for their lack of success. Though there have been instances of celebrity-adjacent people receiving seemingly undeserved gigs, these are usually one-and-not-too-many-more-done deals undone by the recipient's profound absence of skill.

While Ben Stiller certainly had a leg up thanks to his showbiz parents Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, he very quickly proved to be a top-notch satirist via his short films for "Saturday Night Live" and as the producer of the brilliant yet short-lived "The Ben Stiller Show". For those who've followed his career from the start, he's more than earned his bites at the apple, which includes his transition to movie star thanks to hits like "There's Something About Mary," "Meet the Parents," and "Zoolander."

David Cross' movies and TV shows have proven he is one of the best comedy actors over the last three decades. Cross began his career in entertainment as a stand-up comedian. He got his first gigs when he was 17 and then moved to New York City the day after he graduated from high school to try to pick up bigger opportunities. It was in the early 1990s that Cross finally picked up some attention when he moved to Los Angeles and joined the emerging comedy club scene there.

Thanks to being cast on The Ben Stiller Show, Cross finally broke out. He met Bob Odenkirk, and they created Mr. Show with Bob and Dave, and the rest is history. He started picking up movie roles and then ended up cast as Tobias Funke in Arrested Development, the sitcom that he remains best known for to this day. In the later years of his career,...

Even weeks after the series finale's debut on Netflix, The Umbrella Academy season 4's Eiffel Tower plot hole is really bothering me. It's worth pointing out that I think Umbrella Academy's ending had a lot of problems. After a lot of time-hopping, intricately woven setup, there was very little pay off in the rushed, six-episode final outing. Season 4 takes place in the reset Umbrella Academy timeline the one the Hargreeves siblings made in season 3's conclusion. While the siblings lead mundane lives, a cult called The Keepers is gathering evidence of the existence of other timelines.

The Keepers' conspiracy theory hinges on the artifacts they collect objects, from newspaper clippings to Umbrella Academy-themed merchandise, that could only exist in another timeline. Although I found The Keepers' so-called "Umbrella Effect" compelling, the show's focus on shoehorning in Umbrella Academy Easter eggs might have led to the frustrating Eiffel Tower plot hole.

Seinfeld was the biggest sitcom on television during the time it aired on NBC. Created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, the show About Nothing was loved by everyone and it made the careers of Jerry Seinfeld who played himself, Julia Louis-Dreyfus who played Elaine Benes, and Jason Alexander who played the universally loved George. The series mostly followed four people hanging out and going on weird and absurdly comedic adventures. So, if you miss the hilarious comedy, unconventional but relatable characters, and timeless stories in Seinfeld, here are some similar shows you should check out next.

Although A24s Y2K has an original premise, the upcoming horror comedy also owes a creative debt to a more family-friendly spin on the same idea. It is pretty easy to work out the creative origins of A24s upcoming horror comedy Y2K. Y2K follows a pair of likable, nerdy teens who attend a booze-fueled party on New Years Eve 1999. In this movies reality, Y2Ks Millennium Bug turns out to be a very real fear as electronics all over the world go maliciously haywire at the stroke of midnight and begin massacring humans.

What follows is a classic genre mashup that blends a One Wild Night teen comedy with an apocalyptic horror. Y2K is effectively a horror version of Superbad, or an unlikely mashup of Cant Hardly Wait and Miracle Mile. While taking the robotic apocalypse of The Terminator movies and transplanting it into the world of Harold and...

Film fans were shaken earlier this year with the immensely sad news of actor Carl Weathers’ passing. The star had been a cultural icon thanks to his immaculate portrayal of Apollo Creed in the Rocky movies, as well as his run of action roles in films like Predator and Action Jackson. Weathers had recently been seen as a regular cast member in the Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian. On August 29, the actor has been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Variety reports on his former co-stars, including Sylvester Stallone and Adam Sandler, paying tribute to Weathers. In February, after the news broke of Weathers’ passing, his Rocky co-star Sylvester Stallone posted a video recalling what it was like to work with him. In his tribute, Sly stated, “He showed up at the eleventh hour with all the attributes: the body, the skill, the soul and the acting chops.

Without Chubbs Peterson, Happy Gilmore could never have become a golf champion, but without Adam Sandler, the late Carl Weathers’ Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony would feel incomplete.

On February 2, 2024, Weathers passed away at the age of 76 after a battle with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. In the following weeks, seemingly the entire entertainment industry took turns eulogizing the brawny, macho, mustachioed action star and former NFL player, but for all the mentions of Apollo Creed, Predator and Weathers’ contributions in the Star Wars universe, perhaps the most underappreciated aspect of Weathers’ career in the days following his death was his impeccable comedic acting ability, as demonstrated in films like Sandler’s Happy Gilmore.

Today, the Hollywood Walk of Fame will honor Weathers with a posthumous star placed on its iconic sidewalk stretch, and many of Weathers’ old co-stars and collaborators have submitted tribute videos for the ceremony as they remotely pay...

Carl Weathers was an unknown actor on a cattle call audition for a movie when he was introduced to the screenwriter — also a struggling nobody — and was told to do the scene with him. The writer mumbled his way through the lines and afterwards, Weathers, nervous that he blew his shot, blurted out, “If you get me a real actor, I could do a lot better.”

Turns out the writer was the actor. But fortunately, Sylvester Stallone was not insulted, and Weathers got the role of Apollo Creed, changing movie history, and his life, forever.

“He showed up at the eleventh hour with all the attributes: the body, the skill, the soul and the acting chops,” Stallone said in a video tribute after Weathers’ death in February at the age of 76. “I never could have accomplished what we did with ‘Rocky’ without him. He was magic.”

Weathers was, and always will be,...

New emails obtained by Rolling Stone and American Doom reveal how conservative Georgia election officials laid the groundwork for new controversial state election rules designed to give more power to those officials to arbitrarily refuse to certify election results.

Months before the Georgia State Election Board passed the rules, emails show a Donald Trump-supporter on the board solicited a wish list from conservative county election officials of the materials they would need.

“Thank you all for agreeing to provide input on this proposed Rule for Certification Documents needed for Superintendents prior to certification,...

Greg Fitzsimmons’ You Know Me, an exceptionally tight comedy special dropping tonight on YouTube, is one of those shows only made possible by decades of flexing comedy muscles in clubs. “I’ve been doing it for a long time,” Fitzsimmons conceded when I talked to the comic this week. “I go on the road 30 weekends a year, and when I’m not on the road, I’m in L.A. pounding out sets locally. And it’s been like that from the beginning.”

Fitzsimmons, who came up in the Boston scene alongside comedians like David Cross, Marc Maron and Bill Burr, talked to me about keeping it fresh as a stand-up, getting started in the business alongside Joe Rogan and rubbing shoulders with other notorious comedians along the way.

“I still walk on stage with a crumpled-up piece of paper with bullet points on it. I have notes where I’m trying new stuff,...

Spoilers are ahead for The Umbrella Academy season 4's ending.

The opening minutes of The Umbrella Academy season 4 reveal a big Jennifer twist that ties her to The Cleanse. Dr. Jean and Dr. Gene showcase artifacts from different timelines, some of which highlight Jennifer's connection to The Cleanse. The suitcase holds evidence of The Umbrella Effect, illustrating the existence of various timelines as well as The Umbrella Academy.

The Umbrella Academy season 4, episode 1, "The Unbearable Tragedy of Getting What You Want," reveals a major twist within the first few minutes of the show's final outing, but it's subtle enough that most viewers will miss the clue on their first watch. Picking up six years after the events of The Umbrella Academy season 3's ending, the fourth outing finds the Hargreeves siblings living their separate, mundane lives. Part of the big timeline reset at the end of the previous season required...

The Hargreeves siblings face a new threat in The Umbrella Academy season 4 without their powers in a timeline reset, reacquiring their powers along the way. Castaeda's character Diego struggles in season 4 without his powers, reverting to selfish ways and embracing his role as a father. Castaeda reflects on Diego's closure with Sir Reginald in season 3, finding peace in their relationship and the sacrifices made in the series finale.

It's time for the Hargreeves siblings to pay the piper in The Umbrella Academy season 4. Based on Gerard Way and Gabriel B's graphic novels of the same name, the Netflix show has followed the stories of Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Five, Ben, and Vanya/Viktor, the dysfunctional adopted children of eccentric billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves, who discovered their superpowers after their simultaneous immaculate births and turned them into a superhero team. Each season of the show has seen them face world-ending threats,...

Warning: major spoilers for The Umbrella Academy season 4.

Jennifer hosted the dangerous Durango particles and was key to triggering the apocalypse known as "The Cleanse." Despite her importance, much of Jennifer's backstory remains a mystery, including her connection to Ben. The Umbrella Academy season 4 saw the Hargreeves' final mission to prevent the end of the world.

The Umbrella Academy season 4 introduced Jennifer (Victoria Sawal), who had a direct connection to the Umbrellas in their original timeline and was a key element in a destructive event. After three seasons full of twists and shocking reveals, The Umbrella Academy has ended with its fourth season, which took the Hargreeves on a final mission as a new apocalypse approached. The Umbrella Academy season 4 caught up with the Hargreeves six years after Reginalds (Colm Feore) timeline reset, with the Hagreeves doing their best to live normal lives for the first time as they no longer had their powers.

As I sat down to watch the fourth and final season of The Umbrella Academy, I found myself wondering: where, when, and how did things leave off in the season 3 finale? If you're like me, watching that recap before the season begins was incredibly crucial, and the reminder got me hyped for what would be a fitting end to a show that dealt with multiple apocalypses, strange and wild characters, and a family unlike any other.

While sitting down to watch the final season, I was reminded that the Hargreeves clan ended season 3 on a rather interesting note. Daddy Hargreeves (Colm Feore), or some version of him anyway, attempted to obliterate all the Hargreeves children (and did technically kill one of them) after reneging on a plan he made with Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman). After seemingly betraying her family, Allison stepped in and made a decision that would shake the familiy to its core.

Plot: The Hargreeves siblings have scattered after the climactic showdown at the Hotel Oblivion, which completely reset their timeline. Stripped of their powers, each is left to fend for themselves and find a new normal — with wildly varying degrees of success. Yet the trappings of their uncanny new world prove too hard to ignore for very long. Their father, Reginald, alive and well, has stepped out of the shadows and into the public eye, overseeing a powerful and nefarious business empire. A mysterious association known as The Keepers holds clandestine meetings believing the reality they’re living in is a lie and a great reckoning is coming. As these strange new forces conspire around them, the Umbrella Academy must come together one last time — and risk upsetting the shaky peace they’ve all endured so much to secure — to finally set things right.

Review: The Netflix comic book series The Umbrella Academy...

The Hargreeves made the ultimate sacrifice by letting themselves be erased to save the universe. Eight golden flowers represent the Hargreeves in a mid-credits scene, honoring their sacrifice. Abigail's role in creating marigolds and durango led to the triggering of the apocalypse.

The Umbrella Academy has ended with its fourth season, which was packed with surprises, twists, and an equal parts heartbreaking and hopeful future for the universe. Based on the comic book series by Gerard Way and Gabriel B, The Umbrella Academy arrived on Netflix in 2019 and was very well-received by critics and general audiences. The Umbrella Academy season 4 caught up with the Hargreeves in Reginalds (Colm Feore) custom timeline, six years after the end of season 3. The Hargreeves parted ways to try and live normal lives, but most of them kept in touch.

After Viktor (Elliot Page) was kidnapped...

Finally, The Umbrella Academy is back! The Netflix fan-favorite has returned for a fourth and final season and all six episodes are now available to stream. The premiere, "The Unbearable Tragedy of Getting What You Want," introduces us to the Hargreeves now that they've settled into their new realities: the reset timeline where they no longer have powers. Remember when Reginald reset everything at the end of season 3? Yeah, the siblings have all but accepted they aren't superheroes anymore.

But all of that might just change in The Umbrella Academy season 4! The premiere episode is a great reminder of why we love this Netflix Original so much.

Warning: Major spoilers for The Umbrella Academy season 4 episode 1 are below.

It's been six years since the events of the season 3 finale, and the season 4 premiere opens up by introducing us to two new characters who will be very important in this installment.

The Umbrella Academy season 4 introduces the Final Timeline, reuniting the Hargreeves siblings on a mission with restored powers. New faces like Nick Offerman and Megan Mulally join the main cast in the final season, adding a fresh dynamic to the storyline. Cast members shared bittersweet feelings on the red carpet as they bid farewell to the show, teasing a season filled with human stories and surprising character developments.

The Umbrella Academy season 4 is just around the corner, and the hit Netflix show finds the Hargreeves siblings on the verge of yet another apocalypse. It just may be the last one, however, as the series enters what has been dubbed as "The Final Timeline." The Umbrella Academy season 3 finale dropped the siblings, Lila, and Sparrow Ben off in a new timeline crafted by their father Reginald, where they were left without powers and with relatively normal lives.

But the band is...

When Aidan Gallagher joined “The Umbrella Academy,” he was already a huge fan of the comic books of the same name.

But, he didn’t realize that comic co-creator Gerard Way had lead alternative rock band My Chemical Romance.

“It made like ultimate sense,” Gallagher, who plays Number Five, told Variety at the premiere of the show’s fourth and final season at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood on Monday night. “When I got the show and made that connection, I’d just channel ‘The Black Parade’ everyday on my way to set, listening to sort of get the rage and chaotic nature of Five.”

The new season sees the Hargreeves family stripped of their powers and left to fend for themselves, as a mysterious association believes they’re in the wrong timeline because of the superhero clan.

Elliot Page said it was “odd” to say goodbye to the series...

Before the Hargreeves siblings brave the apocalypse one last time, we gather them all in one place to discuss The Umbrella Academy Season 4. With eager cult members gathering in the streets, a brother on the loose and lost in love, and questions about their past still burning brightly, Elliot Page, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Aigan Gallagher, Ritu Arya, Justin H. Min, Robert Sheehan, Tom Hopper, and David Castañeda dig deep to share their thoughts and feelings about the end of an era.

During our talks with the cast of The Umbrella Academy, we explore the emotionally charged conclusion of Viktor’s confrontation with Sir Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore), the unbreakable bond between Allison and Klaus, blinking into any concert venue for an unforgettable evening, the art of physical acting, Diego and Luther’s big fight sequence, the best parts of being Klaus, Diego’s mid-life crisis, who’s the most devious prankster in the Umbrella Academy cast,...

For fans of The Umbrella Academy, Netflix's offbeat superhero show based on the comic book of the same name, we come bearing good news and bad news. The good news is that it's finally returning after over two years with a new season, but the only catch is that this marks the show's conclusion. The Umbrella Academy follows the Hargreeves family, adopted siblings with powers who, each season, must band together to save the world from the impending apocalypse and other threats.

With a strong cast, quirky storytelling, and an awesome soundtrack, it's no surprise The Umbrella Academy has been a staple for the streamer. Though the third season, which was released in June 2022, didn't live up to my expectations, I'm still excited about the fourth. I'm eager to see how the writers will tie up the storylines — especially after the timeline reset at the end of season 3 — and...

August is off to a great start with its streaming options, and we're so here for it!

Among the films playing at this year’s prestigious Venice Film Festival is a documentary called From Darkness to Light, all about Jerry Lewis’ notorious 1972 Holocaust-set dramedy The Day the Clown Cried. The film was famously never released to the public, who, to be fair, weren’t exactly clamoring for a movie in which the guy from The Nutty Professor plays a circus clown who ushers children into the gas chambers.

Lewis’ directorial catastrophe has become the stuff of legend. Hardly any footage has ever surfaced online, and reports that The Day the Clown Cried would be screened by the Library of Congress last month turned out to be false.

But despite its pop-cultural infamy, this cursed project came close to being remade with another slapstick comedian with a reputation for being a huge asshole: Chevy Chase.
