Kevin Cronin will be missing the Reo Speedwagon “retrospective” reunion concert on June 14th in the band’s hometown of Champaign, Illinois, and now the singer has publicly commented on the matter.

The charity concert will feature founding member Neal Doughty, bassist Bruce Hall, early Reo drummer Alan Gratzer, guitarist Steve Scorfina, rhythm guitarist Mike Murphy, and original frontman Terry Luttrell. Proceeds from the show will benefit the Reo Speedwagon Foundation for genitourinary cancer research at Moffitt Cancer Center.

Cronin, who took over for Luttrell as Reo’s frontman in 1972, is noticeably absent from that list of band members, as the June 14th date overlaps with Cronin’s previously announced tour with Styx. Per the itinerary, Cronin will be all the way over in Bend, Oregon, on the day of the retrospective gig — a conflict that Cronin is blaming on the event organizers.

Prime Video took over a soundstage in Los Angeles Tuesday for its first live election special — but despite the expansive space and technology on display, the telecast’s opening hours didn’t feel much different than the multitude of other election night options.

Election Night Live began with anchor Brian Williams reciting a voiceover addressed to the founding fathers, noting what they established for the nation (along with the fact that many of them were slaveholders) while asking for “the strength and wisdom to see our way through this.”

The special originated from a Volume stage (the same kind of high-tech facility used on shows like The Mandalorian). Most of the time, a series of images from across the country was projected behind Williams, with a huge, swooping “Live News Alert” banner taking over the screens when there was a result to report.

The special did a lot of run-up before any results came in,...

Brian Williams is back on the news beat.

The former NBC News and MSNBC anchor is hosting Election Night Live, Prime Video’s first crack at live coverage of a breaking-news event. Originating from Amazon’s Culver City studio, the multi-hour, ad-supported special kicked off at 2 p.m. Pt — watch the cold open above and a trailer for the special below.

Recalling his stint as host of MSNBC’s The 11th Hour, Williams remains the jocular, sorta folksy wordsmith as he riffed about the sheer size of the studio — noting that people there are “getting their steps in — and revived catchphrases including how coverage will continue “on the other side” of a commercial break. At one point, he name-checked his former colleague, MSNBC’s Map Maven Steve Kornacki.

Along with the usual suspects of network news divisions, cable news pundits, pubcaster PBS and political outlet C-span comes a new player: Amazon’s Prime Video, which features former NBC News and MSNBC mainstay Brian Williams in his return to the anchor chair.

So read on to decide on how to watch America decide.

Turn on Amazon’s Prime Video on Election Night, and you will see the streaming giant do something it has never done before: live coverage of a breaking news event.

Brian Williams, the former NBC News and MSNBC anchor who will host Election Night Live, has described the special as the first “new product introduction in the Election Night space since color television.”

In an interview with Deadline, Williams wouldn’t go into specifics but promised a reveal of “our own exclusive IP.” A set built on a Culver City soundstage will be “all LED,” and he will be mobile “between different areas of the studio where analysts and journalists and a historian or two and our data folks are working.”

He said that he has asked Amazon to take no breaks during the special, but “I don’t know if I’ll win that tug of war.

MisterWives will be taking a break. On Monday, the Mandy Lee-fronted quintet announced that the group will be pausing “for a while” following the conclusion of their upcoming Just For One Night tour.

“It has been the biggest privilege of our lives to tour together for over a decade straight and while this isn’t goodbye, this is the last tour we will be doing for a while,” the band wrote in a letter to fans on Instagram.

The band — comprising Lee, Mike Murphy, Marc Campbell, William Hehir, and...

Warner Bros. Discovery is set to name Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary to former President Barack Obama, as its new communications chief, Variety has confirmed. The company is expected to make the announcement official on Monday, and is believed to have already informed Wbd chief David Zaslav’s direct reports with the news.

Gibbs will take over the role from former corporate communications chief Nathaniel Brown, who exited the company in January. The exec will work closely with Zaslav in shaping the company’s corporate messaging and in other arenas. The search for Brown’s replacement took six months as Zaslav was believed to be searching for a major name to fill the role, and sources said the exec believes he’s excited by the pick.

Gibbs was a longtime senior advisor to Obama and served as his press secretary from 2009 to 2011. He began working for Obama during his U.

Update: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will finish a distant second place in the Iowa caucuses, networks projected late Monday night.

Former Un Ambassador Nikki Haley had hopes of a No. 2 finish as she eyed pulling off a surprise next week in New Hampshire.

Speaking with supporters, DeSantis said tonight’ results showed that he “got a ticket punched out of the Hawkeye state.”

“The media was against us. They were writing our obituary months ago. They even called the election before people even got a chance to vote,” DeSantis told supporters, referring to the networks’ early call of the caucuses for Donald Trump.

Despite her third place finish, Haley told supporters that “the pundits will analyze the results from every angle. We get that. But when you look at how we are doing in New Hampshire, in South Carolina, and beyond, I can safely say tonight Iowa made this Republican primary a two-person race.
