Rob Lowe believes it is a "super valid" time to make a sequel to St. Elmo's Fire.The 61-year-old actor starred in the original 1985 movie - which followed a group of graduates as they adjusted to life after college - as William 'Billy' Hicks and he's set to reprise the role of his saxophone-playing alter ego for a second movie, and he's insisted it is a great time in the characters' lives to see what they are doing now.He told People magazine: "We're working on the script, and it's really getting good."I think it's super valid to revisit those characters that continue to mean a lot to people and watch them navigate this chapter of life, because arguably this chapter of life is every bit as interesting and fraught as — 'What do I do when I get out of college?'

Stephen King published The Stand in 1978; he's said it was his attempt to create an epic in the style of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, but this is Stephen King we're talking about, so things get twisted. It's about a deadly disease that wipes out the great majority of the human population, leaving the remaining few to divide themselves into good and evil camps. There's a malevolent, otherworldly villain named Randall Flagg who I suppose is our Sauron, except he wears a lot more denim.

Anyway, The Stand has remain consistently popular for decades and has spawned two TV adaptations: one in the '90s and another in 2020. Neither version was a smash hit, but the '90s one has a cheesy charm to it; it stars folk like Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwald and Rob Lowe. The 2020 version is more of a prestige effort but ended up being less memorable,...

The Stand: Here we go again

The Hollywood Reporter dished on the details of a new adaptation of Stephen King's tome The Stand, which Doug Liman is apparently directing. And if you're thinking to yourself, "Wasn't there literally just a television adaptation? Wasn't Whoopi Goldberg in it? And that was different from the Rob Lowe one? Am I hallucinating?" Yes, you are correct. No, you're not hallucinating. And maybe go drink some water.

"There! Up in the ceiling! It's Roofman!"

Channing Tatum has teamed up with director Derek Cianfrance for the true-life crime story of an escaped convict holed up in a Toys"R"Us. The film, also starring Kirsten Dunst and Peter Dinklage, opens in theaters on Oct. 10.

After reimagining Road House, filmmaker Doug Liman is set to reboot the Stephen King story The Stand. The tale has already spawned two TV series adaptations in the past, but Liman will be making a big change with this version, as it would be a singular feature film.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Liman is attached to direct a feature film adaptation of The Stand for Paramount Pictures. Tyler Hompson of Cross Creek Pictures is also serving as a producer on the project. Currently, a screenwriter hasn't been named, but with the change in format, they may have their work cut out for them with this adaptation.

The lengthy novel has provided plenty of source material for its TV series adaptations, and it may be a challenge to effectively tell the story with the same impact condensed into one movie. According to the report, Liman's vision is for a one-off story,...

Stephen King’s “The Stand” is getting a new adaptation, with Paramount securing Doug Liman to direct the new adaptation of the author’s apocalyptic 1978 tome.

Liman will also produce along with Tyler Thompson of Cross Creek Pictures, with the two previously collaborating on “American Made,” the based-on-a-true-story drama starring Tom Cruise.

Largely thought to be one of King’s greatest accomplishments, “The Stand” takes place in the aftermath of a pandemic caused by a weaponized virus (dubbed Captain Trips), where the survivors are either swayed by the forces of good or those of evil, personified by Randall Flagg, who would go on to become a recurring figure in some of King’s other work, most notably the “Dark Tower” series of novels.

In 1990 King updated and expanded the novel, moving the events from 1980 to 1990 and including more than 400 pages that were cut from the initial printing. The resulting book,...

Stephen King’s “The Stand” may finally be heading to the big screen.

Filmmaker Doug Liman is attached to direct a feature film of the post-apocalyptic bestseller for Paramount Pictures, with Cross Creek Pictures’ Tyler Thompson on board to produce. The project does not yet have a script, however, so development may take some time as Liman and the studio winnow King’s novel — which runs 1,153 pages in its 1990 unabridged version — into a single movie. But the studio sees the movie as a priority and is moving forward aggressively to make it happen.

“The Stand,” first published in 1978, was previously adapted as a television miniseries for ABC in 1994, starring Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwald, Rob Lowe, Ruby Dee and Laura San Giacomo; and again for Paramount+ (née CBS All Access) in 2020, starring James Marsden, Odessa Young, Alexander Skarsgard, Whoopi Goldberg and Amber Heard. However, the story’s epic scope — using the...

THR reports that Doug Liman is set to direct The Stand for Paramount Pictures. The novel, which is considered to be one of Stephen King’s best, deals with a deadly pandemic that kills nearly the entire population. The survivors are drawn to two opposing communities, one led by the kind, prophetic Mother Abagail and the other by the sinister, demonic Randall Flagg. This all leads to a final battle between good and evil. The search is now on for a writer to tackle the project. In addition to directing, Liman will also produce alongside Tyler Thompson of Cross Creek Pictures.

At 1,152 pages, The Stand is King’s longest book. While you might think that Paramount will be viewing this as something that will span multiple films, sources tell THR that “Liman and the studio have a particular take and that the feature would be a one-off, not a multi-movie endeavor.

Rob Lowe was great on 9-1-1: Lone Star, and it’s a shame that the show concluded.

Now Ryan Murphy has a golden opportunity to revisit that well.

Lowe has expressed interest in appearing on the new show, 9-1-1: Nashville.

(Kevin Estrada/Fox)

The 9-1-1 universe is expanding with a new spin-off this fall.

And the new show is led by Chris O’Donnell, Jessica Capshaw, LeAnn Rimes, and Kimberly Williams-Paisley.

As a matter of fact, Don Sharpe marks O’Donnell’s first show and role following his run as G. Callen on NCIS: Los Angeles.

Having O’Donnell back on TV is going to be a fun treat, and I can’t wait for the season premiere.

He is the perfect choice to work as a firefighter on the spin-off, and some fun names would surround him.

Victor Webster has played action heroes, sci-fi bad boys, and even dabbled in stockbroking, but he’s never looked more at home than he does in Hallmark’s cozy world of sleuthing and sweet treats.

Returning as Chad Norton in Pie to Die For: A Hannah Swensen Mystery, Victor brings heart, humor, and a slow-burn charm that’s made fans root for his character’s blossoming romance with Hannah.

We had a chance to sit down with him on Zoom to chat about it.

“I feel so at home with Hallmark doing these movies,” he says with a smile. “It’s like a family.”

Victor’s path to Hallmark is anything but typical.

TV has always been a numbers game — or so we thought.

Traditionally, when a show flopped in the TV ratings, it got the axe. End of story. But lately, even hit shows pulling in millions of viewers have been cut short for reasons that have nothing to do with performance.

Whether it’s behind-the-scenes drama, budget woes, or baffling network decisions, these shows all had the numbers, but still got canceled.

(Courtesy of CBS)

Let’s dig into the ones that never should’ve been sent packing.

The Society – Netflix

The Society was a smash hit — a Lord of the Flies-style teen drama brimming with potential.

(Seacia Pavao/Netflix)

It was smart, stylish, and delivered serious thrills as a group of high schoolers returned from a class trip to find their town mysteriously abandoned by every adult.

Since it premiered in January 2023, ABC’s Will Trent has been a fan favorite with its character arcs and intriguing cases.

However, many fans are divided because some details have deviated from Karin Slaughter’s best-selling series.

Adapting a long book series is challenging and will never be a direct adaptation. The executive producers, Liz Heldens and Daniel Thomsen, strived to include key twists but add their own signature.

(Zac Popik/Disney)

Let’s examine the key differences between the two and which version is superior.

Changing the Casting of the Characters

Many diehard fans complain that Will does not look like how he was described in the book, which was tall and blond, since Ramón Rodríguez is dark and Latino.

However, his version still features the essence of the character. He acts socially awkward, and connects to Will’s storylines, making viewers feel for his intense trauma with foster care and dyslexia.

Jack and Jennifer’s visit to Salem was too short.

I’ve always loved this Days of Our Lives couple. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a journalist because Jennifer was.

But why the heck are Jack and Jennifer ignoring JJ now that he’s back in town?

(Screenshot/Peacock) Mourning Abigail Makes Sense, but Did Jack and Jennifer Forget They Have Another Child?

JJ has been missing in action since before his parents came to town. But the way Days of Our Lives ignored his existence once they landed was ridiculous.

Jennifer was disappointed that JJ wasn’t home when she first came in, but Jack said that it was okay because he had to go visit the paper anyway — and that was the last time either of them mentioned their son.

Ostenibly, they were in Salem to attend John’s funeral and offer comfort and support to Marlena.

For your consideration… or not.

Earlier this month, Alexis Bledel withdrew herself from Emmy consideration due to a rule change. The actress, who won Best Drama Guest Actress in 2017 for The Handmaid's Tale, made an appearance in the show's series finale, but the new rule prohibits her from competing in guest for the same show because of her prior 2018 nomination in supporting. Instead of submitting in supporting, Bledel took herself out entirely. And she's far from the first star to do so.

Here are seven other times actors voluntarily bowed out of the Emmy race.

John Larroquette, Night Court

Larroquette dominated Best Comedy Supporting Actor in the '80s, winning the category four years in a row from 1985 to 1988 for his turn as Dan Fielding. And then he decided four was enough, withdrawing his name in 1989, three years before Night Court ended. "As we got to that fifth season, I...

The next 9-1-1 franchise series, 9-1-1: Nashville, is set to have its debut this fall. As fans wait to see a first look at the show, the first official teaser trailer was released for 9-1-1: Nashville.

Posted on social media, the teaser comes with the tagline, "From Broadway to backroads, Nashville's emergencies are anything but ordinary." The video does not include actual footage from the series, featuring an animation with some of the cast members' names emblazoned on different buildings in the Tennessee city. There are also flashes of fires affecting the city as a cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" plays, hinting at the firefighting that will be on display in Season 1 of the show. The new teaser can be viewed below.

I'm not breaking new ground when I say that Adam Scott is excellent on "Severance." This isn't a hot take; it's decidedly room-temperature. Technically, Scott plays two characters on Dan Erickson's twisted take on a "workplace comedy," even though they are the same person: Mark Scout, a miserable man who lost his wife Gemma (Dichen Lachman) in a tragic car accident, and to deal with his overwhelming grief, who takes a job at Lumon Industries that offers a procedure called "severance" that splits his consciousness into two distinct parts. When he leaves work, he's stuck being plain old Mark Scout, but at work, on the "severed" floor, he's Mark S., a willing acolyte of Lumon who has no idea that he ever had a wife, let alone lost one.

As his innie (Mark S.) and outie (Mark Scout), Scott delivers one of his very best performances; in the show's critically adored sophomore season,...

The Cleaning Lady...

Chris Pratt is returning to his roots in a new dark comedy series that is currently in development at Amazon from John Owen Lowe, the creator of the Netflix series Unstable. Before his rise to stardom in 2014 with Guardians of the Galaxy, Pratt was best known for his role as Andy Dwyer in the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation, with the actor becoming well-regarded in the series for his comedic timing and improvisation. Now, Pratt will executive produce the new Prime Video series, titled God's Country. Interestingly, it seems that the actor's role in the project will be entirely behind the scenes.

According to an exclusive report from Deadline, God's Country is a "darkly satirical tale of family and greed, with Shakespearean roots." The series will follow a ruthless real estate tycoon whose ambitions of gentrifying the heart of America end up ultimately threatening his empire and involving his family...

Rob Lowe is dishing on his thirst traps!

Last month, the 61-year-old Parks & Rec actor took to Instagram to share a shirtless photo of himself flexing in the gym alongside his son John Owen Lowe.

In in a new interview, Rob joked about posting thirst traps online.

“If you got it, flaunt it, use it or lose it, and it ain’t bragging if you’ve done it,” he added. “Those are my three go-tos.”

Rob went on to say that it was his son’s idea to post the shirtless pic, but it later inspired a bit of friendly competition in the gym.

“It got really competitive. Then we were doing extra sets, you know what I mean?” Rob said with a laugh.

9-1-1star Kenneth Choi opens up about his character's future on the series.

Speaking to TV Insider, Choi responded to the question of whether his character, Howard "Chimney" Han, might be ready to step into the role of Captain in the upcoming ninth season of 9-1-1. "No. Chimney’s not ready for any type of dutiful responsibilities whatsoever. Never," Choi replied.

9-1-1 had plenty of major shakeups in its eighth season, not the least of which was the shocking death of Peter Krause's Captain Bobby Nash in the season's fifteenth episode, "Lab Rats." In the episode, Nash sacrifices his own life in order to save the rest of his team from a lethal, fast-moving virus. The loss of Nash hit the series' main cast of characters about as hard as they could imagine, and made some major waves with the stars of the show, as well.

Shortly...

Hollywood icon Rob Lowe is open to returning to the 9-1-1 franchise. However, the actor says he will have to check with his brother, Chad Lowe, who works on the series.

Speaking via Deadline, Lowe addressed a potential return to his iconic role as Captain Owen Strand in the upcoming 9-1-1: Nashville spinoff series. "Well, I'll have to ask Chad Lowe, my brother. See, all my family are gatekeepers to my own future business now," he joked. "Chad Lowe is the executive producer and director of 9-1-1: Nashville. And so I'm just waiting for my phone to ring.I mean, you know, I hired him on Lone Star. I think turnabout is fair play."

Chris Pratt will be executive producing a new dark comedy series in development at Amazon from the creator of the Netflix series Unstable. Some of Pratt's best movies and TV shows have fallen into the realm of comedy, including the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy and his time on Parks and Recreation. The actor has a decorated career that spans beyond these projects, too, including his role in Netflix's The Electric State adaptation, and his upcoming role in the sci-fi thriller Mercy.

However, Deadlinereports that Pratt will be going behind-the-scenes as an executive producer for God's Country, a dark comedy being developed by Amazon MGM Studios. Created by John Owen Lowe, best known for the Netflix comedy Unstable, God's Country follows a family described as having "Shakespearean roots," whose real estate mogul patriarch sets about gentrifying "the heart of America." But a small town's past threatens him and his family's endeavors.

Rob Lowe has revealed his desire to reprise his 9-1-1: Lone Star role in the upcoming spinoff show 9-1-1: Nashville. Lowe starred in 9-1-1: Lone Star as Captain Owen Strand, a New York firefighter, diagnosed with lung cancer, who moved to the 126 in Austin, Texas to rebuild the team. 9-1-1: Lone Star ran for five seasons on Fox, and Lowe's arc ended when Owen returned to New York City to become a fire chief there.

Per TV Line, Lowe revealed that he would be excited about a return to the franchise, and that his brother, Chad Lowe, serves as the executive producer and director on 9-1-1: Nashville, so he is awaiting a call. Lowe stated he'd need to ask his brother about the possibility of a role on the show, before joking that he hired his brother for 9-1-1: Lone Star,...

Rob Lowe is stoking the idea of reprising his role as Owen Strand, this time on 9-1-1: Nashville.

Lowe, who led all five seasons of Fox’s 9-1-1: Lone Star, recently spoke with Decider about his chances of guest-starring on ABC’s upcoming Nashville-set installment of the first responder franchise, basically saying that he’d jump at the opportunity to make it happen.

Although 9-1-1: Lone Star has answered its last call, Rob Lowe is ready to get back in the field as Captain Owen Strand.

The 6x Golden Globe nominee recently addressed his potential return to the character on the upcoming Nashville spinoff, for which his brother Chad Lowe serves as a co-executive producer and director.

“Well, I’ll have to ask Chad Lowe, my brother. See, all my family are gatekeepers to my own future business now,” joked Rob to Decider after starring with his son John Owen Lowe in Netflix’s 2023-’24 series Unstable.

Rob starred as Capt. Strand of Austin’s Fire Engine 126 for the Lone Star‘s five-season run, which ended on Fox in February. Chad also appeared on the spinoff as Owen’s estranged, dying brother Robert Strand in Seasons 3-5, in addition to directing several episodes of both Lone Star and the parent series,...

Exclusive: Amazon MGM Studios is developing God’s Country, a dark comedy series from creator John Owen Lowe (Unstable), who will write and co-showrun alongside Samir Mehta (Under the Bridge).

Described as a darkly satirical tale of family and greed, with Shakespearean roots, the show follows a ruthless real estate tycoon bent on gentrifying the heart of America, whose quest begins to threaten his empire and embroil his family in the violent past of a lakeside town.

Adam Londy of Tornante will exec produce alongside Chris Pratt (The Terminal List).

Lowe is best known for co-creating, exec producing and starring opposite father Rob Lowe in Netflix’s comedy Unstable, which ran for two seasons. Prior to that writing on Fox’s 9-1-1: Lone Star, he is repped by UTA, Untitled Entertainment, and Latham & Watkins.

9-1-1 crossovers have been rare over the years — due to scheduling and budget — for the original series and Lone Star, which ended after five seasons on Fox in February 2025. Besides one in which three members of the 118 (9-1-1) headed to Austin to help out with a wildfire, there were just mentions and minor characters appearing. But could that change with the newest spinoff, 9-1-1: Nashville, joining ABC’s lineup this fall? Rob Lowe, who played Captain Owen Strand for all five seasons of Lone Star, is open to it. “Well, I’ll have to ask Chad Lowe, my brother,” he told Decider. (Chad Lowe played Owen’s half-brother and directed episodes of 9-1-1 and Lone Star.) “Chad Lowe is the executive producer, director of 9-1-1: Nashville. And so I’m just waiting for my phone to ring. I mean, you know, I hired him on Lone Star. I think turnabout is fair play.

After five seasons, 9-1-1: Lone Star aired its final episode earlier this year, bidding farewell to Rob Lowe's Captain Owen Strand for what appeared to be the final time. Now, ABC is turning to a new spin-off to fill the void in 9-1-1: Nashville, complete with a new team all under the control of the canceled series's old showrunner, Rashad Raisani. Strand's story may not be over just yet, however. In a recent conversation with Decider about his Atkins partnership, Lowe was asked about the possibility of popping in for the Tennessee-based show when it premieres this fall, and not only did he express an openness to the idea, but he cited a more personal connection to the show he could hit up about making that a reality — his brother, Chad Lowe.

"Well, I’ll have to ask Chad Lowe, my brother," the star responded.

Thirty years after it debuted in theaters, fans of arguably Chris Farley’s greatest movie seem to be hungry for nostalgia. Released in 1995 and co-starring David Spade and Brian Dennehy), Tommy Boy is one of Farley’s most quotable and memorable movies. Now,it’s achieving success on streaming three decades after its theatrical premiere.

Tommy Boy, directed by Peter Segal and written by Bonnie Turner and Terry Turner, is currently the No. 9 movie on Paramount+, per FlixPatrol. It edged out Sonic the Hedgehog 3,which is No. 10, for ninth place in the top 10 in the U.S. on the streamer.

Exclusive: Fox has lit a fire under its summer primetime lineup with the debut of yet another offering from chef Gordon Ramsay.

Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service launched May 21 as the network’s most-streamed unscripted summer debut on record. Since then, the audience has continued to grow, with Episode 3 posting a 27% gain in total viewers over the premiere, per live + same-day Nielsen data.

The series has also seen 21% growth among adults 18-49, which remains an important (and increasingly difficult) demographic to target on television.

Ramsay has now set a personal record as well, starring in more currently airing shows than any TV personality in history, Fox says. With the additions of Secret Service and next season’s holiday show Next Level Baker, that brings Ramsay to eight concurrent shows on the Fox slate.

Fox ended the 2024-25 broadcast season on a promising note, averaging a 0.75 rating among adults 18-49 in live + 7-day measurements.

When news of the sudden and violent death of actor Jonathan Joss broke, Parks and Recreationstar Nick Offerman said the cast were "heartbroken." Joss, who appeared in a recurring role as Chief Ken Hotate, was shot and killed on June 1 after a dispute with a neighbor turned violent.

Offerman, who portrayed Ron Swanson in the hit sitcom, released a statement to People, saying that he and his former Parks and Recreation costars had been mourning the loss of Joss. "The cast has been texting together about it all day, and we're just heartbroken," the actor wrote. "Jonathan was such a sweet guy, and we loved having him as our Chief Ken Hotate. A terrible tragedy."

Chris Pratt also posted on his Instagram Stories, “Damn. Rip Jonathan. Always such a kind dude. He played Ken Hotate in Parks and was also in Mag 7. Sad to see. Prayers up. Hug your loved ones.

Francis Ford Coppola’s never been one to play it safe, but his demand on the set of The Outsiders took things to a whole new level. In one of the film’s most intense sequences, what was meant to be a carefully choreographed blaze quickly spiraled into a genuine hazard.

Crew members were reportedly on edge, and the set turned chaotic. The 71%-rated film still holds its iconic status, but that one moment almost burned more than just the scene.

You may be surprised to hear this, but a film set can be a pretty tense workplace. Whether you're leading a crew of dozens while trying to spin millions in studio money into something resembling art, or you're one of the many cogs in the elaborate machinery that keeps a film production on track to be effective and make deadline, there's typically a lot on your plate when it comes to working on a set.

As it turns out, that includes some of our favorite stars. In some cases, it's pushed them to throw punches. Physical fights on film sets tend to be the type of thing that go down in show business legend -- and as such, many instances have differing perspectives from the parties involved about what actually happened. Still, whether it's stress, ego clashes, or just the...

Actor Rob Lowe, 61, flaunted his post-gym body in a shirtless photo alongside his son, John Lowe, in an Instagram post. The two are seen flexing their muscles with the caption, “Lowe family tradition: self-indulgent shirtless gym photos.”

The Parks and Recreation star has had a longtime focus on his health, so showing off his fit physique isn’t anything new. In 2023, he celebrated 33 years of sobriety with a flattering beachside photo of himself, and in the caption, he shared his priority of staying healthy, especially emotionally.

“33 years ago today, I found recovery and a tribe that has sustained me on my incredible, grateful journey. My life is full of love, family, God, opportunity, friends, work, dogs and fun,” he captioned his 2023 post.

"The movie is really about the passing of time," Brats director Andrew McCarthy tells Gold Derby. "I turned 60 not that long ago and I realized that I had begun to look at events of my life in a different way than I used to."

For the first time in decades, McCarthy reunites with fellow Brat Packers Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, and Ally Sheedy, along with other stars of that era like Jon Cryer, Timothy Hutton, and Lea Thompson, to discuss their rise to stardom in the 1980s and how the term "Brat Pack" — coined by journalist David Blum in an article for New York Magazine — impacted their careers.

Reflecting further, McCarthy says his fascination lies less with the Brat Pack itself and more with how perspectives on life evolve with time. "When I was 22, we hated it — all of us," he says. "We felt stigmatized — it was very limiting.

9-1-1stars Oliver Stark and Aisha Hinds discuss the future for Buck and Hen in the series' ninth season.

Speaking to TV Insider, Stark and Hinds, who portray Evan "Buck" Buckley and Henrietta "Hen" Wilson on the series, opened up about what the future holds for their respective characters, especially as 9-1-1 continues to move forward from the shocking death of Peter Krause's Robert "Bobby" Nash towards the end of Season 8. "For me, the main thing is that the kind of gravitas of losing Bobby is used as a catalyst to mature Buck. I think the growth has been there over the seasons, but I think this is a real opportunity to take him into his next iteration, whatever that ends up being," Stark said. "But I think a more grounded worldly Buck can come out of this. I don’t know what that will look like,...

Parks and Recreation was best known for its fast, wacky humor and lovable characters, as audiences spent seven seasons with the employees of the Pawnee local government's Parks and Rec department. The series featured the usual hallmarks of a hit sitcom, including some gigantic guest stars. But, unlike more self-aware shows like Community, Parks & Rec rarely went meta. But Amy Poehler, who led the series as the overly optimistic Leslie Knope, recently revealed that the cast of Parks & Rec filmed an entire other TV show while working on the hit NBC sitcom, and the first trailer has just dropped online.

As a result of working on a movie/TV set for months, actors tend to make their own fun. But, very rarely do they produce an entirely new TV series. Philly Justice is the name of the fake show that Poehler, Adam Scott, Rashida Jones, and Kathryn Hahn...

It’s not quite “Threat Level Midnight,” but it’s close — and real. Amy Poehler has revealed the faux spoof TV show trailer for “Philly Justice,” a fake series she and “Parks and Recreation” co-stars Adam Scott, Rashida Jones, Paul Rudd, Nick Offerman, and Kathryn Hahn made for fun while filming the hit NBC sitcom.

The existence of the project has been teased throughout Poehler’s podcast “Good Hang” and now, finally, its trailer is out. The tagline reads: “Philadelphia has never been more in need of justice.”

“Parks and Rec” creator Mike Schur, producer Morgan Sackett, and stars Scott and Jones joined Poehler for world premiere of the “Philly Justice” trailer on “Good Hang.”

“This one is for the fans. We heard you loud and clear,” Poehler said, adding that “Philly Justice” was conceived after looking at a cast photo on the set of “Parks and Rec” during Season...

The 2025 Webby Awards theme may have been “All Good,” as the annual ceremony celebrated the best of the internet from the past year, but host Ilana Glazer wasn’t shy about going after politics or the more problematic elements of technology.

Glazer kicked off the evening by joking that the “All Good” theme was selected because an alternative like “‘The Broligarchy’s Speeding of the Onslaught of Facism in the Face of the Climate Catastrophe at the Point of No Return’ would have bummed everybody out.”

As she continued her monologue, Glazer spoke about the continued uncertainty around the fate of TikTok and joked that Signal is the app that should truly be banned.

“TikTok and the Trump administration were the Ross and Rachel of social media — a real will they, won’t they,” Glazer joked. “They banned it and then they quickly brought it back. Now they’re talking about banning it again.
