Liam Neeson is currently promoting his new movie, The Naked Gun, and recently talked with The Rolling Stone about his long career and the film. When asked about the best advice he ever received, Neeson shared, “Stay poised, an old professional actor told me once, right.” He also reflected on the ups and downs of acting, saying he wishes someone had told him “the highs would’ve been great, and the lows would have been very low.”

Talking about success, Neeson remembered a saying: “It’s terrible when people are talking about you, and it’s even worse when they’re not talking about you.” He also named one of his acting heroes from the past, Spencer Tracy, who he admired for being genuine on screen. “He was always so real. Without putting on false noses and strange accents and all this sort of shit — he was just always present and real,...

More than 30 years after the “Naked Gun” franchise enjoyed its “Final Insult” in 1994, arguably the world’s most beloved slapstick spoof film series is back for another slice of straight-faced silliness — and to test the contemporary box office waters of big-screen comedy.

Leslie Nielsen, whose legendary turn as bumbling L.A. detective Frank Drebin still has fans merrily reciting his most famous lines, died in 2010. For Paramount’s new reboot “The Naked Gun,” out Aug. 1, Liam Neeson has been recruited to follow in the Canadian icon’s deadpan footsteps as his equally incompetent (but decidedly less silver-haired) detective son, Frank Drebin Jr.

Also starring Pamela Anderson and directed and co-written by The Lonely Island’s Akiva Schaffer, the legacy sequel to the original three films is awash in visual gags, absurd one-liners, terrible driving, comically Ott action scenes, sexual innuendo, at least one montage featuring an angry snowman and more...

The Naked Gun, a legacy sequel and the fourth installment in the comedy franchise, almost took a very different turn. A decade ago, the plan was to reboot it with Ed Helms in the lead. But now? It’s hard to imagine any version without Liam Neeson’s iconic take on a 21st-century Frank Drebin. His comic timing in the new film is impeccable.

Spoiler Alert !!!This article contains spoilers for The Naked Gun (2025).

That said, original creator David Zucker reportedly distanced himself from the project—likely due to director Akiva Schaffer’s influence. Schaffer, who rose to fame as a founding member of The Lonely Island alongside Andy Samberg, brings a more absurdist, pop culture–infused tone than the traditional Zaz style allows.

The story follows Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. (Neeson), who stops a robbery and is trying to track down a henchman (Kevin Durand), who stole a piece of equipment labeled “P.

The Hangoverstar Ed Helms has recently spoken about how his mother cried watching the film for the first time. Along with Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis, Helms helped make this Todd Phillips classic one of the most popular comedies of the 2000s, as his characterization of the dentist Stu was an essential part of the movie’s wild dynamic.

Telling the story of a bachelor party gone wrong, The Hangover was a raunchy glimpse into the most outrageous side of human debauchery as a group of friends wake up to a missing groom with no memory of the night before. Given Helms’ conservative upbringing, he was understandably nervous about how his family would react. See Helms' full comments below.

“I grew up in a kind of a repressed Southern home. Politically, very progressive, but still a very socially conservative kind of environment.

And so ‘The Hangover’ is nuts. That’s...

Ed Helms certainly did not end up having the career that his parents envisioned for him. “The Hangover” — and its two sequels — are about as far from traditional, buttoned-up, family-friendly comedy as a movie can get, and this ran precisely counter to Helms’ upbringing, as he shared with host Ted Danson on the SiriusXM podcast “Where Everybody Knows Your Name.”

“I grew up in a kind of a repressed Southern home. Politically, very progressive, but still a very socially conservative kind of environment,” Helms said (via Variety). “And so ‘The Hangover’ is nuts. That’s not what they raised me to do, to be in a movie like ‘The Hangover.’ So my parents — at that point they’d seen me do crazy stuff on ‘The Daily Show’ and ‘The Office’ — and so there was some sort of acceptance already, but, still, I was nervous for my parents to see ‘The Hangover.'”

Paramount Pictures has released a brand new poster for The Naked Gun, giving fans the first official peek at Liam Neeson’s return to comedy. The movie is coming to theaters on August 1, 2025, and it’s being called a “legacy sequel” to the original film series, continuing where things left off after Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult, which came out in 1994.

Via Paramount Pictures

This time, Neeson is playing Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., the son of the iconic cop character originally played by Leslie Nielsen. The film is directed by Akiva Schaffer, who also helped write the script with Dan Gregor and Doug Mand. Schaffer is known for his work on Popstar and Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, so this movie looks like it’ll be heavy on the laughs and over-the-top action.

Paramount Pictures has just released the new official poster for The Naked Gun, giving fans a new look at Liam Neeson stepping into the shoes of Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. The action-comedy film is coming to theaters on August 1, 2025.

This new movie is being called a legacy sequel, continuing the story from Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult, which came out way back in 1994. Now, over 30 years later, the franchise is back with a fresh lead and some new faces, but it’s still full of the same silly and chaotic energy the old films were known for.

Liam Neeson stars as Frank Drebin Jr., the son of the original detective made famous by Leslie Nielsen. The cast also includes Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Kevin Durand, Danny Huston, and Moses Jones. Wrestling fans might be surprised to see Cody Rhodes in the lineup, along with appearances by Liza Koshy,...

Ed Helms is recalling how nervous he was for his “very socially conservative” parents to see 2009’s The Hangover.

The actor recently appeared on SiriusXM’s Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast, where he looked back at the R-rated comedy that also starred Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis.

“I grew up in kind of a repressed Southern home. Politically, very progressive, but still a very socially conservative kind of environment,” Helms explained to host Ted Danson. “And so The Hangover is nuts. That’s not what they [his parents] raised me to do, to be in a movie like The Hangover.“

“So my parents — at that point they’d seen me do crazy stuff on The Daily Show and The Office — and so there was some sort of acceptance already, but, still, I was nervous for my parents to see The Hangover. I was like 35 when that movie came out, and I...

Ed Helms recently stopped by SiriusXM’s “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” podcast, hosted by Ted Danson, and remembered how nervous he was for his parents to see “The Hangover,” Todd Phillips’ 2009 R-rated comedy blockbuster, which paired Helms with Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis. Helms said his upbringing made a movie like “The Hangover” an absolutely nuts choice for his family.

“I grew up in a kind of a repressed Southern home. Politically, very progressive, but still a very socially conservative kind of environment,” Helms said. “And so ‘The Hangover’ is nuts. That’s not what they raised me to do, to be in a movie like ‘The Hangover.’ So my parents — at that point they’d seen me do crazy stuff on ‘The Daily Show’ and ‘The Office’ — and so there was some sort of acceptance already, but, still, I was nervous for my parents to see ‘The Hangover....

The Peacock mockumentary series “The Paper” officially has a premiere date.

The show, which serves as a followup to “The Office,” will debut its first four episodes on Sept. 4, followed by two new episodes every Thursday through Sept. 25.

The official logline for “The Paper” states, “The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it.”

The cast of the series includes Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Oscar Nuñez, who is reprising his role from “The Office,” Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, and Tim Key.

In a trailer played at the NBCUniversal upfront presentation, it was revealed that the show takes place in the offices of the Toledo Truth-Teller. The documentary crew makes their way around the room, revealing that Oscar (Nuñez) is now working as an accountant for the paper.

The date is set for when the first issue of the Toledo Truth Teller will arrive. Peacock has officially announced that Greg Daniels and Michael Koman's long-awaited The Office spin-off, The Paper, will arrive on the platform on September 4 with a four-episode premiere to acclimate viewers to the frenzied new newsroom setting. New episodes will then follow every Thursday through September 25. Domhnall Gleeson is set to lead a new cast of white-collar workers — along with the returning Oscar Nuñez — who are all being documented by the same crew that last captured the daily happenings at Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch under Michael Scott (Steve Carell) 12 years ago.

Although The Paper will look to capture the same comedic vibes as its predecessor, it's also meant to highlight new workplace challenges and characters within its setting. The series takes the documentary film crew to a once-legendary Midwestern newspaper that, according to the official poster,...

Ed Helms admitted that because he was raised in a “repressed Southern home,” he was worried to show his parents “The Hangover.”

While talking with Ted Danson on the “Everybody Knows Your Name” podcast, Helms explained that he grew up juggling a complicated relationship with comedy due to his upbringing. Thankfully, the art form was something that got him through some more “toxic” aspects of his childhood.

“I think that has a much more complicated origin in growing up in a very sort of repressed Southern home with some toxic elements to it and comedy being a kind of way out of tough situations, or a way to handle tough people or a way to fix things,” Helms said. “My dad was a very complicated guy, who was brilliant and had some demons, but he was also insanely funny.”

The “Office” alum had found comedic success by his 30s, but...

Social media star-turned-actor Andrew Bachelor has joined Shamier Anderson in the upcoming Paramount+ and GameTV satirical mini-series Hate the Player: The Ben Johnson Story.

Bachelor, also known as King Bach, will play U.S. sprinter Carl Lewis, a fierce rival to Canadian Ben Johnson (Anderson) who in 1988 cheated his way to a gold medal in the 100 meter final at the Seoul Olympics.

Bachelor starred in Netflix comedy Coffee and Kareem, alongside Taraji P. Henson, Ed Helms and Betty Gilpin, the Netflix horror The Babysitter: Killer Queen with Jenna Ortega, and the romantic comedy Holidate with Emma Roberts and Kristin Chenoweth.

Bachelor will bring his real-life sprinting background while attending Florida State University, and that of his athlete father in Jamaica, to the role. “Carl Lewis was a hero of mine — not just because of his dominance, but because he excelled in multiple events, just like I did. The rivalry between...

One of the best stars from Brooklyn Nine-Nineis officially stepping away from comedy. Craig Robinson, known for his role as Doug Judy in the successful comedy starring Andy Sambergand Melissa Fumero, has announced that his time as a comedic performer has come to an end. Robinson will now focus on a small business he intends to open soon. The announcement might come as a surprise to fans who were expecting to see the actor in other successful television comedy projects.

In Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Craig Robinson stole every scene he was in as Doug Judy. Much to Captain Holt's (Andre Braugher) dismay, Jake Peralta (Samberg) continued to trust the unpredictable criminal played by Robinson. Throughout the many seasons of the series, Judy continued to work alongside Peralta before stabbing him in the back. Doug Judy announced he was moving to Amsterdam with his wife during his last appearance on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

A brand-new Naked Gun movie is on the way, and this time Liam Neeson is stepping into the world of silly crime-fighting as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. The film is set to come out in U.S. theaters on August 1, 2025, and it promises a mix of throwback jokes and new characters that aim to bring back the goofy fun of the original films.

The director is Akiva Schaffer, who also co-wrote the script along with Dan Gregor and Doug Mand. According to Paramount Pictures, this will be the fourth movie in the series, following 1994’s Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult.

Instead of a reboot, it’s being called a legacy sequel, meaning it continues the story but with a new generation. Neeson plays the son of Leslie Nielsen’s iconic detective character.

The next chapter in the Naked Gun series is on its way, and fans have plenty to look forward to. The new movie is called The Naked Gun, and it brings back the famous goofy police comedy but with fresh faces and some familiar ones too.

Directed by Akiva Schaffer, who also helped write the script with Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, this film acts as a legacy sequel to Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult from 1994. It is the fourth movie in the franchise and stars Liam Neeson as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr.

The film is set to hit theaters in the United States on August 1, 2025, courtesy of Paramount Pictures.

Exclusive: Miguel Arteta, the Independent Spirit Award winner behind titles like Beatriz at Dinner and Chuck & Buck, has found his next project in Sleep Toward Heaven, a feature adaptation of the bestselling debut novel by Amanda Eyre Ward, which he’ll helm as writer-director.

Published in 2003, Sleep Toward Heaven tells the story of three disparate women, whose lives collide in the aftermath of a crime during a brutal Texas summer. The critically acclaimed novel launched Ward’s career as a New York Times bestseller, which has seen her novels land on Reese’s Book Club and be optioned by wiip, Fox Searchlight and Sandra Bullock.

Said Arteta, “Amanda’s novel feels as resonant and necessary as it did when it was first published – maybe even more so, as we long to find humanity and connection in a fractured world. I wanted to adapt the novel myself because I fell in...

Paramount has released an official trailer for The Naked Gun. The movie serves as a reboot of the film trilogy and short-lived TV series that starred Leslie Nielsen.

Liam Neeson is the only man with the particular set of skills necessary to update Police Squad for the 21st century. After the Taken franchise cemented Neeson as one of this generation's leading action icons, the actor has starred in several successful movies for the genre, such as The Grey, Non-Stop, Run All Night, The Commuter, and Cold Pursuit. However, The Naked Gun is the first action movie to really make good use of Neeson's comedic skills, with the actor starring in the reboot as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Nielsen's character of the same name. While the official trailer features a lot of the same footage and jokes from the teaser trailer, there are still plenty of new laughs to go around.

Get ready to rock out with your Glock out. Liam Neeson's Frank Drebin Jr. is on the case in the first gag-filled trailer for The Naked Gun. The reboot of the slapstick comedy series will hit theaters on August 1, 2025. In the trailer, Drebin Jr. is the son of the franchise's original protagonist, Frank Drebin Sr., and he's just as violent, accident-prone, and generally ridiculous as his predecessor. Now, he's on the trail of a murderer, thanks to femme fatale Pamela Anderson, but that plot's just an excuse for a series of slapstick gags in the goofball spirit of the franchise.

As he crusades for justice, Drebin pokes fun at Neeson's tough-guy image, beating a man with his own severed arms, pulling his sidearm to get into a bathroom, and interrogating a suspect who did twenty years for "man's laughter." But his new case is no joke: if Drebin can't...

For some sad reason, Netflix has chosen to delete more shows than normal in the third week of the month. While 18 series or movies leaving the streaming isn't nearly as bad as the end of any given month, it's still a lot.

Perhaps the biggest loss of the week is that the first eight seasons of Dexter are leaving. There have been two sequels to the series, Dexter: New Blood and Dexter: Original Sin, but neither of those is available on Netflix either.

The first three seasons of The Equalizer are going away, too. The Queen Latifah-led series has five seasons total, but there will be no more. The show was canceled after its fifth season, and the finale aired on May 4, 2025.

When Roseanne Barr was fired from the rebooted Roseanne in 2018, the producers decided that, in order to continue, the series would need to change. Instead of the sarcastic loudmouth Roseanne Conner as the center of her family, John Goodman’s Dan Conner, Laurie Metcalf’s Jackie Harris and Sara Gilbert’s Darlene Conner stepped in to fill the void, making it a show with a bit less attitude and an increased focus on grief in light of Barr’s character’s death. These changes allowed the show — now rebranded as The Conners — to last for seven seasons.

However, not all shows are smart enough to fully pivot after a cast departure. Instead, many just end up replacing that person with a new character who has pretty much the exact same personality. The hope, presumably, is to keep whatever dynamics a show already possesses.

Here are some of the best — and worst — examples…...

Some shows never really leave us, and Cheers was definitely one of them. For many fans, it wasn’t just a sitcom – it was a cozy corner of television where friendships grew, and regulars became family. Many tuned in just to hear the familiar cheer of “Norm!” as George Wendt walked through the bar doors. While he didn’t say much, his presence was enough to keep the viewers hooked.

Wendt’s recent passing on May 20, 2025, is a reminder of how deeply these characters and the actors behind them have become a part of our lives. While Cheers ended all the way back in 1993, there are several shows that give out the same vibe and Lol moments. So, let’s take a look at some of the most binge-worthy shows that bring out the same energy that made Cheers so unforgettable.

The 2017 animated sitcom Big Mouth has been serving weird and raunchy storylines since its inception. But in Season 6, they just took things to the next level by not only dropping a random plot twist but also bringing in an unexpected mix of celebrities into a boy-band drama.

Blow Up The Chat, a new comedy movie inspired by The Hangover, is in the works and has its eyes on a major lead star. The Hangover trilogy stars four best friends as they retrace their drunken antics and lost memories from the night before. All three movies were released from 2009 to 2013 from director Todd Phillips, who went on to helm Joker.

The R-rated trilogy remains one of the biggest and most beloved comedy sagas of all time. The Hangover holds 79% critic and 84% audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes while the two sequels are rated "Rotten" by both.

According to a Patreon post from scooper Daniel Richtman, Warner Bros.' new comedy movie Blow Up The Chat is eyeing Oscar-nominee Adam Driver for the leading role. The report marks one step forward to delivering fans a spiritual successor to one of the most iconic comedy franchises of all time, The Hangover.

NBC's upcoming The Office reboot, titled The Paper, is slowly rounding out its cast. Domnhall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore will lead the new series. It has already been confirmed that Oscar Nunez will reprise his role as Oscar from The Office in the new reboot. Oscar is the only original actor confirmed to appear in the reboot, so far. The new series will follow a failing Midwestern newspaper company that tries to save itself by hiring new volunteer reporters. But one of those volunteers could be a Cornell University graduate, as Ed Helms is the latest The Office star to address the new reboot.

Ed Helms recently appeared on The View (via TV Insider), and was asked whether Andy "The Nard Dog" Bernard would be back in The Paper. Helms began by saying that he was currently unaware of Andy returning for the upcoming series. "I have zero intel on that,...

Will the ‘Nard Dog rise again in The Officesequel series The Paper? Ed Helms isn’t quite certain one way or the other, but he remains hopeful. While swinging by The View, the actor faced questions about his potential return to the Greg Daniels-developed universe that once gave us the many different and entertaining personalities in the NBC hit series. “I have zero intel on that, I’m sorry to say,” Helms told the hosts of the daytime series.

“And I also don’t know yet if Andy will be making an appearance. I haven’t heard. No one’s called.”

Manifesting the energetic, harmony-creating character’s return, Helms said that he “hopes” the creative team will find some space for Andy, adding, “I’m just gonna float that energy out there right now.” Whether or not he makes an appearance in The Paper, Helms remains certain that the...

Ed Helms starred as Andy Bernard on The Office for seven seasons before the show came to an end in 2009. But will his character be making a return in the follow-up series, The Paper, which began production last year? “I have zero intel on that, I’m sorry to say,” Helms said on the Tuesday, April 29, episode of The View. “And I also don’t know yet if Andy will be making an appearance. I haven’t heard. No one’s called.” However, he said he “hopes” to bring his character back, if possible. “I’m just gonna float that energy out there right now,” the actor added. “Greg Daniels is making this show. It’s gonna be great. It’s gonna be incredible.” So far, the only cast member from The Office who’s confirmed for The Paper is Oscar Nuñez, who will be reprising his role as Oscar Martinez.

It’s been 12 years since The Office ended, yet here we are, still quoting Michael Scott at inappropriate moments, debating whether Jim was a good guy, and still feeling secondhand embarrassment from Scott’s Tots. Some shows fade into the background, but this one? It’s forever stapled (probably into Jell-o) in our hearts.

Where else could you find a boss who accidentally declares bankruptcy out loud, a beet farmer enforcing office martial law, and a receptionist who somehow puts up with all of it? From Kevin’s tragic chili spill to the utter enigma that was Creed, The Office was a chaotic masterpiece. And let’s be real, no actual workplace has ever lived up to the madness of Dunder Mifflin.

So, what do we miss most? The pranks? The cringe? The world’s most awkward romance? All of the above.

Live with Kelly and Mark did not live up to its name recently when fans tuned in at the beginning of a new week, only to be met with a “prerecorded” disclaimer at the bottom of the screen.

While Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos typically prerecord most end-of-the-week episodes to take extended weekend breaks, things were different this time.

Kelly and Mark jet off to Palm Springs during these weekend breaks or travel to Michigan to see their son, Joaquin Consuelos, at the University of Michigan.

As Monsters and Critics reported, even their trips to Michigan may end since Kelly and Mark’s son is graduating soon.

Kelly and Mark took extra time off and prerecorded their show, not because of Palm Springs or Michigan, but because of another frequent stop for the jet-setting couple.

Kelly shared on her Instagram account that she and Mark took a work trip to their beloved Italy,...

Tina Fey and Steve Carrell meet up while hitting the black carpet at the premiere of their new series The Four Seasons held at DGA Theater on Thursday (April 24) in Los Angeles.

The 54-year-old comedian and actress co-created the upcoming comedy series, which she also helped write and executive produce.

Also in attendance were Tina and Steve‘s co-stars Will Forte, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Marco Calvani, Erika Henningsen, Tommy Do, Chloe Troast and Cole Tristan Murphy, as well as Tina‘s husband Jeff Richmond, who is an executive producer on the series. Co-creators Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield stepped out as well.

Showing their support for the upcoming Netflix show were several former co-stars and friends, including Amy Poehler, Ed Helms, Jack McBrayer, Craig Robinson, Thomas Lennon, Stephanie Styles and The Office‘s Creed Bratton.

“The Four Seasons” may be about three couples who make up a close-knit friend group but at its core, it’s a show about chosen families. That remains true for the superstar cast as well, who discussed growing into a family themselves at the Netflix premiere on Thursday night in Los Angeles.

“From Day 1 — you hear it a lot, but it’s actually true this time — we definitely loved each other from the get-go,” Steve Carell told TheWrap. “It was a great, great experience. It’s true, very special.”

Carell stars alongside Tina Fey, Will Forte, Marco Calvani, Kerri Kenney-Silver and Colman Domingo (who was not present for the DGA red carpet and two-episode screening).

Modern comedy legends turned out for the premiere of Netflix’s new miniseries The Four Seasons on Thursday night in Hollywood.

Co-created by Tina Fey, the show follows a group of longtime friends and middle-class couples as they vacation together at different times of the year. Adapting the 1981 Alan Alda rom-com of the same name gave Fey the opportunity to curate a cast full of comedy heavyweights, as well as new and old film legends. The show's stars bonded fast, according to Kerri Kenney-Silver, who plays hesitant housewife Anne.

"We had a crew member say to us on the second day, 'Tell me about where you guys rehearsed or where you've worked together before,' and I was like, 'I've never met any of these people ever before in my life," she told Gold Derby on the carpet. "Some of the group had not met before. It’s all in the writing.

It’s the Inverse Law of Entertainment: All musicians want to be comedians, and all comedians want to be musicians. Most comics aren’t blessed with musical talent, but some still get a taste by appearing in the videos of their favorite artists. Saturday Night Live cast members, probably thanks to their musical heroes guesting on the show, get more chances than most.

1988’s The Naked Gun is making a comeback, but will it capture the same magic as the original? Most comedies now feel the need to sneak in a life lesson, and silliness, wordplay, or casual gags have largely been pushed aside. The Naked Gun, however, worked because it didn’t particularly care too much about those things. It just wanted to be funny.

With Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson stepping into the franchise as fresh faces, the 2025 Naked Gun reboot is officially set to hit theaters on August 1, 2025. Originally scheduled for July 18, 2025, the release date was shifted by a couple of weeks, likely to accommodate studio scheduling conflicts, including the rescheduling of Vicious, another Paramount project. Here’s everything we know so far about the new Naked Gun.

The hilarious riff on procedural cop shows initially started out as "Police Squad!," a hilarious six-episode television comedy series from David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker whose only crime was being ahead of its time. Although the triage had no such luck making it play to audiences on the small screen, the short-lived series proved to be incredibly successful in movie theaters in the form of 1988's "The Naked Gun," which brought back Leslie Nielsen to reprise his role as the bumbling Detective Lt. Frank Drebin.

The David Zucker-directed film not only jumpstarted Nielsen's comedy career after his memorable role in "Airplane!," but it also led to two sequels: "The Naked Gun 2 ½: The Smell of Fear...

It looks like The View has quietly slipped into a short hiatus, and as usual, fans are buzzing with questions. Whispers about the future of key co-hosts—including the ever-iconic Whoopi Goldberg—are growing louder, especially as contract renewal details remain under wraps.

But while the cameras may be off for now, the fans aren’t exactly left in the dark. Dedicated viewers have figured out how to stay a step ahead, even scoring chances to see their favorite personalities live.

What’s Happening Behind the Scenes?

Whoopi Goldberg, once known primarily for her award-winning acting and stand-up career, has worn the hat of co-host on The View since 2007. Over the years, both she and fellow co-host Joy Behar have occasionally stepped back from filming.

That’s not particularly unusual—they’re both on a flexible four-day work week. But fans did notice something rare recently: Goldberg taped an episode on a Friday,...

Filming has begun in Edmonton on Smudge the Blades, a sports dramedy from writer-director Cody Lightning. The feature centers on the Treaty 6 Blades, an under-18 Indigenous hockey team facing their last season in a rough northern Alberta league.

Lightning stars as Willie Gladue, a Zamboni driver who finds himself behind the bench as the team’s unexpected coach. Schmieding plays a hockey mom who becomes his love interest.

Lightning, who also co-wrote the script with Samuel Miller, described the significance of the setting and subject matter. “Rez hockey in Canada is bigger than high school football in Texas,” he said. “I’m so honored to have this incredible cast to bring to life the experiences of Indigenous hockey players, on and off the ice.”

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a police procedural workplace comedy series created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur. The Fox and, later on, the NBC series is set in New York City.

Only one man has the particular set of skills to lead the new The Naked Gun movie. Liam Neeson succeeds Leslie Nielsen as Lt. Frank Drebin in the first trailer for the hotly-anticipated action comedy reboot.

The official teaser trailer for the new The Naked Gun begins with Drebin foiling a bank robbery after sneaking into the building disguised as a schoolgirl licking a lollypop. After taking care of the robbers, one of the hostages asks who he is, with Neeson's character responding, "Frank Drebin, Police Squad." He then breaks the fourth wall by looking directly at the camera and uttering, "The new version." The teaser then confirms that it will actually be a legacy sequel to the original film trilogy, with Neeson and Paul Walter Hauser playing the similarly named sons of Nielsen's Frank Drebin and George Kennedy's Captain Ed Hocken, respectively. The trailer even manages to...

An official trailer for “The Naked Gun” reboot is here, and brings with it a special set of skills: absurdist comedy, glossy action aesthetics, Liam Neeson in polkadot briefs and a school girl uniform and, naturally, an O.J. Simpson joke.

Neeson stars as Frank Drebin Jr., the son of legendary goofball cop and franchise father Leslie Nielsen. In a brief clip shared online and at CinemaCon, the annual convention of movie theater owners, Neeson brings Nielsen’s brand of crimefighting to a new generation of audiences.

In the midst of a tense heist where police officers are attempting to seize bank robbers, we see a little girl with an oversized lollipop casually walk through the standoff.

“What do you want, little one?” asks a bad guy toting a machine gun. “Your ass,” says the child, before ripping off a face mask to reveal Neeson. The lollipop stick becomes a deadly...

Paramount Pictures dropped the first look at the studio’s “The Naked Gun” remake on Thursday with the film’s first trailer, introducing Liam Neeson as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., the son of the iconic comedy character played by Leslie Nielsen in the original franchise.

Akiva Schaffer, one third of The Lonely Island, co-wrote and directs the film which follows Drebin Jr. as he leads the Police Squad and, of course, must save the world.

While a teaser was released on YouTube, attendees at CinemaCon got to see an early look at an upcoming full trailer in which Neeson teases his past work in the “Taken” films, warning that when you take a life, there’s no going back. “It’s a moment that makes you say…that was awesome!”

And in a biting moment, as we see members of the Police Squad cry over a picture of the deceased Captain Ed Hocken,...
