For Terry Crews, there are no rules. “There used to be so many rules. They used to say, ‘you can’t do TV, you must only do movies, you can’t do commercials.’” But Crews has proven you can do all of those things and more. He just joined pal Dave Bautista in The Killer’s Game (September 13). Crews loves that it’s funny, saying “to make people laugh is probably the hardest job in entertainment, because no one can agree on what’s funny.” He also loves that “it wasn’t three hours. I’ve had it with the three-hour movies.” Whether it’s acting or hosting America’s Got Talent, Crews says he polished his comedy skills in an unexpected place while in the NFL. “I honed my skills trying to make other athletes laugh in the locker room.” He’ll be putting that skill to use in the upcoming animated reboot of Everybody Hates Chris. “I have been floored by the acceptance of things I’ve done in the past that have all of a sudden become bigger.” Crews is aware how rare he has it. “I’m an old football player, so everything I’m doing is already past what anyone ever expected.”

Getting a show made is hard these days. Getting a show about unconventional families is even harder to get made. Despite these hurdles, Kit Williamson was able to do it. The end result?

Alan Scott to talk about the show, how it came about, and why it’s important now.

Mid-Century Modern Isn't the Gay Golden Girls (But They Get Why You'd Think That) 38:21

hace 10 días38:21

38:21

When Will & Grace premiered on NBC in 1998, it was groundbreaking because of the sheer lack of queer representation on network TV. Since then, numerous sitcoms have increased LGBTQ+ visibility on TV, but rarely gay characters of an older generation. To fill that void, those same Will & Grace creators, Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, developed Hulu’s Mid-Century Modern to show that while a multi-camera sitcom with three gay male leads is rare, the stories they are telling are universal. Led by Nathan Lane’s Bunny Schneiderman, Mid-Century Modern finds undergarment tycoon Bunny inviting his two best friends—Jerry (played by Matt Bomer) and Arthur (played by Nathan Lee Graham)—to move in with him and his mother, Sybil (played by Linda Lavin). It is after the passing of one of their mutual friends that Bunny opens up his Palm Springs home. Newsweek ’s H. Alan Scott chats with Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer and Nathan Lee Graham about Mid-Century Modern, how it came about, and why it’s so important right now.

Harriet Tubman Drops a Hip-Hop Album? Bob the Drag Queen’s Bold New Book 44:49

hace 10 días44:49

44:49

What if Harriet Tubman came back to modern-day America to make a hip-hop album in order to continue her work as an abolitionist? That’s exactly the world Bob the Drag Queen creates in their new novel Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert . “It is the most remarkable story in American history,” Bob says of Tubman’s life. “Harriet Tubman sees how remarkable African American culture is, what it's become, how hip-hop has saved the nation, saved the world and she wants to take part in it.” In addition to the physical book, the audio experience of the novel is just as enthralling, complete with original music. “A part of Harriet Tubman’s story is music. [She] did use music in her work as an abolitionist.” And the music included in the audiobook is “the best music I've ever written. Easily. I am so proud of this book. I cry when I listen to this music.” And true to form, Bob, a past winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race , is creating a live show based around the book. “The book really is about freedom and what freedom means to you. We get to define what our freedom is... and in this book, Harriet is trying to help people get free.” Bob spoke with Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott about how the book came about how much it would take for him to return to RuPaul’s Drag Race .

Ben Falcone Knows Funny, But Can That Translate to a Kids Book? 26:47

hace 16 días26:47

26:47

Ben Falcone isn't exactly known for making kid-friendly projects. His films with wife and frequent collaborator Melissa McCarthy are "R-rated quite often, but I do think there's a certain sweetness that we usually try to hit." And it's that sweetness he's bringing to his first kids' book, What's Scarier Than Thunder? "My secret goal is that it's something that kids will think is funny, but that parents will, too." The story follows Claire, who is afraid of thunderstorms. For future stories, Falcone sees many other things to be scared of: "Heights, first day of school, remember that one? Meeting someone new, auditions..." Another story he's actively involved with is the podcast Hildy the Barback and the Lake of Fire , which he created with McCarthy and Steve Mallory. "There's going to be a season two, so we're excited." And even though "the industry is clearly changing," Falcone says he believes in comedy. "Melissa and I, our big goal is to try to be a very small part of the bigger push to get comedies back in the theaters. I think it's so good for people to get together and laugh."

Dylan Mulvaney Knows You Want to Talk About Bud Light, and She’s Ready To 31:56

When social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, famous for chronicling her gender transition online in “365 Days of Girlhood,” posted a sponsored video promoting Bud Light, it quickly went viral, but not necessarily in a good way. “I would have never taken that offer had I known it would have brought me anything but joy.” She shares her experience in a new book Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer (March 11). “I felt so supported by the internet and in my life that I wasn’t really weighing the gravity of what working with a brand with that scope and that broader audience really meant.” But when the spotlight from “Beergate” shined on her, “there was this energy of, Do I just not talk about this? Do we pretend it didn’t happen?... No! The way that I navigate life is to share. Unfortunately, I’m addicted to oversharing and so I couldn’t not.” But with the book, a new podcast and other projects in the mix, Mulvaney is ready to focus on her ultimate goal: “This year, every decision I make is coming back to, Does this help me become a Broadway diva?” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…

'The Traitors': We Have a Winner(s)! 9:25

We've got new winners from Peacock's Traitors ! Dolores Catania, Dylan Efron and Ivar Mountbatten spoke with Newsweek about sleuthing out the traitors and why this season was so chaotically wonderful. If you watched, then you know the actual traitors were a mess. Instead of murdering faithfuls, they all seemed to be going after fellow traitors. This made for a chaotic and messy game, sending faithfuls into a confused tizzy. But Dolores, Dylan, Ivar and and Gabby Windey somehow figured out that if they stuck together, they could just let the traitors sabotage themselves. This smart move led the four of them to win it all. (They'll split the $204,300 prize.)

Jack Quaid is in the Midst of a 'Surreal' Moment with 'Novocaine' 29:54

hace 4 weeks29:54

29:54

With Novocaine (March 14), Jack Quaid is stepping into his leading man era. "It's the first time I've seen my face prominently featured on a billboard or a poster, and that is so surreal." Quaid plays Nathan, an ordinary man who turns his unique condition—a genetic disorder that leaves him unable to feel pain—into a superpower to save his girlfriend from kidnappers. "It's gross and crazy and nuts, but really, over the course of the movie, he is kind of a new babe in the woods. He's just discovering the world for the first time in a lot of ways, and he has this longing for something more." This character, who Quaid calls "the sweetest character I've ever played," comes after a string of performances in films like Companion and Scream, where Quaid played anything but a nice guy. "Once you're unburdened from the idea of likability, you can really expand and go to some weird places." But he likes that Nathan is the opposite. "Nate we're trying to make a likable character. I like that he's a very heroic character in a lot of ways, because he's risking everything for this girl."

Vincent D’Onofrio’s ‘Wild’ Journey to ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ 20:41

hace 5 weeks20:41

20:41

The path to get Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again made was a “wild” journey, says Vincent D’Onofrio, who plays Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin, the supervillain at odds with Matt Murdock aka Daredevil (played by Charlie Cox), a lawyer by trade fighting for justice. “Any time you’re involved with a project that people are digging, you just feel like you owe them so much and it really inspires you to do a great job and to do the best you can.” After a ferocious campaign from fans, Disney+ brought the series back—initially a Netflix original from 2015 to 2018. Playing a dark character isn’t really about “a love for evil” for D’Onofrio, but “a love for interesting.” As he says: “Do you remember that show Three’s Company ? At the end of all those shows, it was always just a big misunderstanding, and that’s how I like to think about how I approach parts that are so far from me...you have to love your character, and if it’s a well-written character you fall in love with it, and then I just think, this is just a big misunderstanding. I’m actually not what people think. That’s the only way.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…

Chelsea Handler Knows Who She Is: ‘My Feet Are So Firmly Planted’ 24:50

As a six-time New York Times bestselling author, Chelsea Handler knows the secret to a successful book is to stay true to herself. “All of my books are representative of where I am in my life at that time.” And “right now, where I am in my life is my feet are so firmly planted in the ground you cannot knock me over.” The comedian just released her seventh book, I’ll Have What She’s Having . “The point is to highlight how incredible your life can be when you don’t subscribe to doing what everyone tells you makes you valuable.” Between the book, her podcast Dear Chelsea and her stand-up—she has a new Netflix comedy Chelsea Handler: The Feeling and a Las Vegas residency, Chelsea at The Chelsea )—it’s clear Handler has written her own script to her career. “I feel really strongly and passionately, which I always have, that no one is in charge of me.” The former host of the late-night talk show Chelsea Lately says, “we all need a reboot for the talk show.” But in order to return to the format, it would have to “be the right set of circumstances.... I wouldn’t say never.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…

Yellowjacket’s Jasmin Savoy Brown Knows How Lucky They Are 25:26

hace 7 weeks25:26

25:26

Showtime’s Yellowjackets is really two shows in one. One is about a group of ’90s teenage plane crash survivors, and the other follows them now. The trick is finding that balance between the actors playing the same characters. “Casting just did an excellent job. They found people with similar essences,” says Jasmin Savoy Brown, who plays the younger version of Taissa. “If anyone has a harder job, it’s [Tawny Cypress, who plays Taissa’s older self], because technically, she has to play to who her younger person is, me.” Brown admits it’s “intimidating” to have the modern-day characters played by greats like Cypress, Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis and Melanie Lynskey. “All of them make it so easy. There’s no one that’s snobby or diva or rude.” And Brown, who can also be seen in the upcoming Scream 7—“I’m really honored to be playing the first out queer character in that franchise’s history”—is most aware how special this moment is. “I’m really grateful, I get to work with people who’ve been doing this for a long time, and all of them happen to be really kind.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…

Dexter: Original Sin’s Patrick Gibson Felt the Pressure Following Michael C. Hall 22:24

hace 7 weeks22:24

22:24

When you take on a role that somebody else made famous, it’s not easy. Patrick Gibson knew when he started playing a younger version of Michael C. Hall’s Dexter Morgan, a Miami serial killer, in Dexter: Original Sin, that risk is “farther to fall, in a way.” Hall “can’t even be turning in his grave,” because he’s still very much involved with the role. “It must be a weird thing to see somebody else step into that, but I have to say he was so generous and welcoming, I think because he was a part of it getting made.” What makes this origin story so fascinating is that we get to see a time when Dexter didn’t have his murders perfected. “He really is relying on his base instincts and the lessons that he’s picking up from just starting working in Miami Metro.” There’s also “a loneliness at that time of his life that I think was interesting and felt human.” And while he’s very much a psychopath, the audience is still rooting for him. “I think it’s that weird Robin Hood moral gray area.” Gibson is ready for season two. “So much happens in season one, but there’s also so much left unresolved.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…
