Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Thursday, where she dished that her son Miles, 5, has yet to experience the joys of eating vegetables. The model, 38, who also shares daughters Luna, 7, Esti, 1, and son Wren, 7 months, with husband John Legend, opened up about her son’s food habits alongside her “Chrissy & Dave Dine Out” co-star David Chang.“Are your kids good eaters?” Kimmel, 56, asked.“Well, my daughter and John are here, they’re in the first row,” she said as the audience cheered for the Oscar winner, 45, and Luna.The “Cravings: Hungry for More” author continued: “I always say, she goes to ‘The Voice’ all the time and she sees daddy work but she’s never really come to see me so we snatched her up from school and she came to see this.”“But Luna is the best eater.

The ABC series, set in Eisenhower-Era Milwaukee, materialized on the heels of the 1950s nostalgia craze generated by the movie “American Graffiti.“The show revolved around the all-American, middle-class Cunningham family: loving parents Marion (Marion Ross) and Howard (Tom Bosley), their good-natured teenage son, Richie (Ron Howard, who co-starred in “American Graffiti”) and his kid sister, Joanie (Erin Moran).Howard, the future Oscar-winning director (“A Beautiful Mind”), was already familiar to television viewers as Opie Taylor on “The Andy Griffith Show” in the 1960s; both Ross and Bosley were seasoned showbiz veterans whose resumes dated back to the 1950s. The supporting cast members, though, were largely unfamiliar to viewers: Henry Winkler as loyal, tough-guy greaser with a heart of gold Arthur Fonzarelli — aka “Fonzie,” aka “The Fonz” (“Aaayyy!”) — and Richie’s pals, wide-eyed Potsie Weber (Anson Williams) and wiseguy Ralph Malph (Don Most).In its third season, the series went from a single-format sitcom (shot like a movie) to a three-camera setup with episodes filmed before a live audience — adding electric energy to a surging show already ingrained in American pop culture.By its fourth season, “Happy Days” shot to No.

In a four-part series on TikTok, writer Jonathan Hurwitz revealed that in the series, McGuire (Duff) would have returned to her childhood home after her picturesque life in New York City implodes. At the end of the second episode, McGuire would receive a text message from Craft (Clayton Snyder) “and animated Lizzie faints.” Additionally, the opening of Episode 3, which had not been filmed, depicted Duff, 36, waking up in Craft’s bed wearing his shirt while the animated version of her character pops up with a to-do list and crosses off Craft’s name.

Pat Sajak once again caused an uproar on social media after the longtime “Wheel of Fortune” host told one player to “shut up” during Tuesday’s episode — even though he was joking. The moment came just before the show’s bonus round when Sajak, 77, was tallying up the points from the most recent round. “According to my math, by $200…” Sajak began before he was interrupted by contestant Angela Omezie, who screamed when she realized she won the round.

is hinting they may have been canned from the Max series due to their pro-Palestinian stance.“Our industry is so duplicitous” Ramirez, 48, wrote Tuesday on Instagram, the night after the 75th Emmy Awards. “While they give awards away, casting directors and agents are making blacklists of actors and workers who post anything in support of Palestinians in Gaza to ensure they will not work again,” they continued.“While they lift up some of their own clients who have spoken up against this genocide, they are firing and letting others who have smaller platforms go.”Ramirez recently participated in a Palestinian protest in Brooklyn waving a transgender flag and also took part in the Jan.

view when it comes to Gen Z. “The View’s” Joy Behar is slamming Gen Z after a report revealed that many of those born between 1997 and 2012 felt “left behind” by the current economy. The comment from Behar, 81, came after co-host Whoopi Goldberg cited a social media thread that seemed to indicate that Gen Z was worried about losing “value as they age” and that they will have “nothing to look forward to other than wrinkles, aging and death.”“Every single thing you see is anti-aging, don’t actually look the way that you are,” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin agreed.

Monday night’s Emmy Awards while accepting the award for Best Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series in “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.” She channeled Snoop Dogg, who did the same thing when he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018.“I’m a winner, baby!” Nash, 53, said emphatically. “Thank you to the most high for this divine moment.“Thank you, Ryan Murphy, for seeing me. Evan Peters, I love you.

Emmy Awards on Monday night. The cast appeared in a replica hospital room at the awards ceremony, where they presented Paul Walter Hauser with a trophy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, for “Black Bird.” “When the first episode of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ aired in March of 2005, I’m not sure Shonda Rhimes knew that she had created a show that would have a lasting imprint on television and create lifelong friendships,” Pompeo, 54, began about the show’s creator.“Over 400 episodes and counting — a tribute to everyone who has been a part of our family,” Chambers, 53, added.

Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name.And for the cast of “Cheers,” that was especially true at the Emmys 2024.Ted Danson, Kelsey Grammer, Rhea Perlman, John Ratzenberger and George Wendt reunited Monday night as part of a special tribute at the awards ceremony honoring some of the most beloved shows in TV history.Host Anthony Anderson introduced the reunion, calling “Cheers” “one of the greatest television shows of all time” before the cast appeared onstage inside a replica of the iconic Boston bar.“This feels nice to be here in front of you,” Danson said, before Ratzenberger added that the event was a “long overdue class reunion.”The cast gathered to present the Best Directing for a Comedy Series and Best Writing in a Comedy Series statuettes. Both awards went to Hulu’s “The Bear.”“Being together brings back some great memories of a show we’re all very proud of,” said Grammer.In addition to “Cheers,” “The Sopranos,” “All in the Family,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Ally McBeal,” “Game of Thrones,” “Martin,” “The Carol Burnett Show,” “I Love Lucy,” and more received special tributes at Monday night’s ceremony, which was broadcast on Fox.“It was really about, ‘How can we celebrate 75 years of television differently?’” the show’s executive producer Jesse Collins told the Associated Press before the ceremony.“The core of it,” said Dionne Harmon, another executive producer, “is really celebrating television and to honor the shows of yesterday while we honor the shows of today.”Anderson also opened up about the reunions before the telecast kicked off.

that was a nice surprise.Anthony Anderson eschewed the traditional awkward monologue on Monday night’s 75th Emmy Awards — delivering a clever salute to several classic TV shows accompanied by a piano and a “small, inclusive choir from Compton.”(“Kevin Costner is from Compton!” he joked.)That, in itself, meant the show was off to a good start — and miles away from Jo Koy’s disastrous opening monologue on last week’s Golden Globes.For a second, I thought the opening shtick, “Mister Anderson’s Neighborhood,” would rip off Eddie Murphy’s classic “SNL” sketch (“Mister Robinson’s Neighborhood“), but it didn’t — as, instead, Anderson sang theme songs from “Good Times,” “The Facts of Life” and “Miami Vice” (with Travis Barker on drums … and Anderson was sockless, just like Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas in that landmark ’80s series).And he got the walkoff music bugaboo out of the way, joking that whoever didn’t follow the acceptance-speech timing rules would have to deal with his mother and “We Are Family” co-host, Doris Bowman (“Thank Jesus and your family and wrap it up,” he implored nominees).“The Bear” star Ayo Edebiri won Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy series — repeating her Golden Globe victory — and gave a nice speech thanking her parents.Ditto for her co-star Jeremy Allen White (Best Lead Actor, Comedy), who included one-too-many “I love yous” in his.It was great to see 90-year-old Carol Burnett on stage to present the Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, won by “Abbott Elementary” star Quinta Brunson, who gave a teary acceptance speech.

channel’s most-watched show, by “Game of Thrones.”In honor of the show’s 25th anniversary, the network just dropped behind-the-scenes footage from the show that equals five hours of new content and 15 deleted scenes.

wheely vicious.One “Wheel of Fortune” contestant found herself the butt of several online jokes after she missed a very easy bonus round puzzle. Contestant TaRhea Marshall managed to make her way into the legendary game show’s bonus round Friday with a whopping $25,898, and a chance to score a brand-new car.In the final round, Marshall was presented with the customary “R, S, T, L, N, E” letters after telling the show’s host, Pat Sajak, that she wanted to attempt the show’s “Food and Drink” category.After telling Sajak, 77, that she wanted to add the letters “C, B, G and A,” the puzzle read as: ” “BAGELS & _ _ _G_N_TS.”The pottery painter was then given 10 seconds to solve the mystery puzzle. Marshall attempted to solve the puzzle by shouting “bagels and beignets” and “bagels and croissants,” but she ultimately failed.

Andy Cohen jokingly called Al Roker a “jackhole” on “Watch What Happens Live” on Wednesday.The reason? Hours earlier, the Bravo executive producer, 55, was grilled by Roker, 69, on the “Today” show about being scammed by hackers.“Today’s ‘Jackhole’ goes to Al Roker for being a troublemaker this morning on the ‘Today Show’ and asking this question after my segment about being scammed by hackers,” Cohen said on “WWHL.”During his “Today” interview with Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb, Cohen recounted how, after losing his bank card, he received an e-mail that appeared to be from his bank’s fraud-alert system.When he logged in, it allowed scammer access to his bank account.Cohen tried to log out, but the damage was done — and, he said, multiple “sizable wire transfers” were initiated from his account because he had also inadvertently given the hackers his phone number, allowing them to make the wire transactions.Roker turned to Cohen and asked if he might have been scammed by “one of the Housewives,” alluding to Cohen’s association with the “Real Housewives” franchise, whose cast members are frequent guests on “What What Happens Live.”Cohen appeared flustered by Roker’s question as Guthrie asked him “Who is the most likely?” to have scammed him.“You know — well, there is someone most likely,” Cohen replied on “Today.” “We’ll talk about that later. I’ll explain.”Roker then shrugged his shoulders and arched his eyebrows — while Cohen told him he was “a smart man.”Cohen told the “Today” hosts he filed a report with the NYPD’s cybersecurity unit but was told “when money is wired out of your account, it’s gone.”“Trust no one who calls you,” he said.
