Vice President JD Vance offered a lengthy social media post on Wednesday morning to explain why Republicans lost so brutally in the midterms so, on Thursday night, Seth Meyers responded with a 3-page message of his own. The NBC host read his rebuttal during his “A Closer Look” segment, after he played a clip of a CNN anchor revealing Vance’s post on-air. Printed out, the message was multiple pages. While some have criticized Vance for writing the post like he’s a pundit, rather than the VP, Meyers offered praise. “You know, whatever you think of the vice president, you got to give him some credit,” Meyers said. “He sat down, took the time to write a thoughtful reflection on the political landscape and his party’s failings, and we should applaud him for that. In fact, I’ve written a lengthy and nuanced response. I hope you will bear with me here.” With that, Meyers brought out a small stack of papers — three, in total. Of course, it was still a relatively short message. “No one’s,” Meyers read off the first page. “F–king,” off the second. “Buying it,” he finished with a laugh. Meyers took particular issue with the fact that…

Kim Kardashian is having a little friendly competition with her sisters, and apparently, their latest family rivalry involves cleavage. In a new episode of The Kardashians, the SKIMS founder joked about the revealing outfits she and her sisters have been wearing. A clip from Season 8, released on Wednesday, November 4, showed Kardashian checking out her look during a confessional interview while wearing a plunging red top. Kardashian Joked About a Family ‘B—-Off’ Kim Kardashian predicted that Kylie Jenner would win the playful competition. BY: THE KARDASHIANS/HULU Kardashian couldn’t help but notice how much attention her outfit was getting as she watched herself on the monitor. “It’s very b—-,” the All’s Fair actress said while checking out her b—– in the revealing outfit through the monitor. She then acknowledged that the neckline might be a little too much for the cameras. “I mean, this is pretty distracting,” she admitted, as a producer stepped into the frame to adjust her low-cut shirt. The conversation soon shifted to her sisters after someone behind the camera brought up another family member’s outfit. “You should’ve seen Khloé [Kardashian]’s shirt the other day,” someone off camera said, hinting that her sister’s outfit also left little…

Scarlett Johansson received quite the welcome during her latest appearance on Today.  During Thursday, November 5, episode of Today with Jenna & Sheinelle, Johansson joined Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones for the show’s Pink Chair Questionnaire segment. What started as a question about celebrity crushes quickly turned into a sweet moment for the Black Widow star. Johansson Gets a Sweet Surprise From the Hosts Scarlett Johansson was surprised when several members of the ‘Today’ crew said they had a crush on her. BY: TODAY WITH JENNA & SHEINELLE/YOUTUBE The conversation began when Johansson was asked, “Who was your first celebrity crush?” Bush Hager then turned the question around and made it clear that the actress had plenty of admirers of her own. “You are everybody’s celebrity crush,” she said. The Avengers alum seemed surprised by the compliment and quickly pushed back, saying, “No, that’s not true.” Jones wasn’t having it, as she recalled a conversation she had with the crew before the interview and explained that Johansson had already made quite an impression. “Oh yeah, it is,” Jones replied, sharing what she said earlier in the dressing room. “I think I have a crush on Scarlett Johansson; she is…

Fox has completed its $22 billion acquisition of Roku, which will cease trading on the Nasdaq starting Friday. The deal accelerates the media giant’s digital strategy and expands its business by bringing its live sports, news and local programming to Roku’s open connected TV platform reaching more than 100 million streaming households. It also supercharges Fox’s advertising business and cements its dominance in the free ad-supported streaming space. Fox already owns Tubi, which reaches a total of 110 million monthly active users. Together, Tubi and Roku accounted for 4.8% streaming viewership in August — tying with Disney’s streaming share and trailing behind Netflix and YouTube, per Nielsen. When including linear TV, the combined company accounted for 8.5% of total TV viewership for the month, making it the fourth largest media distributor behind YouTube, Skydance and Disney. “The closing of this acquisition advances the long-term strategy of FOX. Beginning today, our top priority for the combined company is to continue to relentlessly serve audiences and partners, while reinforcing the openness and choice that is the essence of the Roku platform,” Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch said in a statement. “Our shared entrepreneurial passion and clear conviction toward building the future together with our…

Simon Stone’s true-life drama, shot by Mike Eley, stars Andrew Scott as British actor Ian Charleson, who, succumbing to AIDS, throws himself into a final performance of ‘Hamlet.’

The $22 billion deal closed in less than five months. Roku CEO Anthony Wood will join Fox’s board and serve as co-chair of the company’s digital division.

Skydance’s organizational structure is beginning to take shape with co-CEOs David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz solidifying their executive leadership team.  Several departments have also started to outline their own reporting structures detailing who will be calling the shots at the combined company, though the integration of two major Hollywood studios is only just getting started and things could get shaken up even more as management looks to find at least $6 billion in merger cost savings. Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery executives at the combined company have the gargantuan task of figuring out how to work together while growing the business across streaming, TV and film, news and sports, gaming, experiences, advertising and beyond. That plan includes more than $30 billion in annual content investment while managing various commitments under a settlement with 12 state attorneys general. Also hanging over the company is an overwhelming $80 billion in net debt that will impact decision-making and creative risk-taking for the foreseeable future.  Skydance CEO Leadership Team (Illustration by TheWrap’s Chris Smith/Skydance) On the corporate side, Ellison and Kreiz’s top lieutenants include President Andy Gordon, Chief Financial Officer Dennis Cinelli, Chief Product Officer Dane Glasgow, Chief Legal Officer Makan Delrahim, Chief Marketing…

After an 11th-hour candidacy announcement and a bruising race against her close ally in City Hall and a former reality TV star, Nithya Raman will become the 44th mayor of Los Angeles next month. On a long to-do list that includes homelessness, public transit, affordability and the 2028 Olympics, there is also the ongoing decline of film and TV production in the city and the all-hands-on-deck efforts to reverse it. Raman’s connections to Hollywood were a key part of the coalition that fueled both her upset victory to join the L.A. City Council in 2020 over incumbent David Ryu and her defeat of incumbent mayor and longtime L.A. political figure Karen Bass. Her husband, Vali Chandrasekaran, is a veteran writer-producer with credits on “My Name Is Earl,” “30 Rock” and “Modern Family,” among other shows. Her celebrity donor list included Tina Fey, Cord Jefferson, Mindy Kaling, Adam Conover, Adam Scott and Colin Jost; and former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger arranged meetings for her with some of the city’s top business leaders earlier this year. Now, they and hundreds of thousands of entertainment workers and business owners that rely on the film and TV industry will look to Raman to find a…

“Stranger Things” is moving forward with a new adventure: A prequel series set in the 1950s. “Other Worlds” will take the franchise back in time 30 years to Marion, Nevada in 1955. Created by the Duffer Brothers and Kate Trefry, “Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure” takes place before the events of the flagship series and the Broadway play “Stranger Things: The First Shadow.” The first teaser for the show eerily played a 50s doo-wop song “Sh Boom (Life Could Be A Dream)” by The Chords from a boom box attached to an old bike. The camera panned up to a cloudy sky before a title card read “April 19, 1955 Marion, Nevada.” A thunderous sound broke open the skies to reveal potentially another version of the Upside Down. “‘Stranger Things’ has always belonged to the fans, and their passion made it a worldwide phenomenon. Today, on Stranger Things Day, we’re honored to partner again with Matt and Ross Duffer and Kate Trefry to give fans a new dimension of this universe to step into. ‘Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure’ takes us to the 1950s with new heroes and all the heart, mystery and spectacle of the original series.…

Alan Moore, the creator of Watchmen and V for Vendetta, is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in comics. He’s also notoriously cranky about adaptations of his work, which is why it’s so remarkable that he signed off on a stage play based on one of his lesser-known, out-of-print works. And the recording is free to the public! ‘Shadowplay 1989’ Follows a Nameless CIA Agent The film ‘V For Vendetta’ was based on Alan Moore’s work. BY: MEGA James Llewellyn Evans adapted Brought to Light: Shadowplay into Shadowplay 1989, a one-man show performed for one night only on Sunday, October 25, at The Wych in Toronto. The play is based on the 1988 graphic novel written by Moore and drawn by comics legend Bill Sienkiewicz, and it tells the story of the CIA through the eyes of an unnamed narrator in a bar. What began as an unauthorized tribute became an official adaptation after Evans reached out to Moore and Sienkiewicz about his plans and received their approval. Evans wrote the script, created the set and props, and plays The Company Man as he guides viewers through blood-soaked decades of Cold War operations. (Along the way, he bears…

Recalling the experience during his return to the stage in Los Angeles, Jones admitted that there was a moment when he genuinely believed his life was coming to an end, per the New York Post and the BBC.
