Quick Links Chimney’s Arc Relies Too Much on a Running Joke Howie Remains in the Shadows of Other Firefighters Han Deserves a Slice of the Action

Unlike its competitors, 9-1-1 places a great deal of focus on its characters. The cases are still important to the show, but how the firefighters respond to them is the procedural's biggest draw. The 118 are passionate heroes, but the show allows fans to see the nuances of their personal lives, which gives 9-1-1 an added scoop of drama.

However, it's fair to say that 9-1-1 would be less impressive without Howard Han. Complete with a unique charm and a kind heart, Han showcases the high levels of compassion needed to work in this line of work. Despite being a main character for eight seasons, I can't help but think that the show has repeatedly undermined him. As such, 9-1-1's...

Actors from Broadway’s Newsies, Suffs, and other stage productions are doing their part to encourage people to vote. The actors released a video featuring a medley of remixed Newsies tracks, including renditions of “Carrying the Banner” and “Seize the Day” reframed for the 2024 election.

Similar to the Broadway Newsies production, based on the 1992 Disney film of the same name, the remix video begins with newsboy Jack Kelly rallying an army of townspeople to participate in the next election. “Running your mouth don’t change nothing, spot,” Jack said in the video.

Picketers gathered outside Warner Bros. in Burbank today found themselves buoyed by a unique presence: Flavor Flav. The hip-hop icon-turned-reality star showed up to cheers from the assembled WGA supporters.

Dressed in a festive yellow-and-blue track suit and wearing a demure (for him) red clock around his neck, the Public Enemy also brought a boombox and blasted the group’s classic “Fight the Power.”

Possibly even better, Flav brought a lot of food.

“A true spread of burgers and pizzas at Warner Bros courtesy of Flava Flav!” wrote Abbott Elementary writer-producer Brittani Nichols on Twitter above a photo of the rapper delivering at least a dozen boxes of grub.

Who else misses seeing live theater?

Whether it's a musical or a one-man play, there's always something magical about seeing a Broadway show.

When you can't go to the theater, you can make the theater come to you by streaming these Broadway shows.

Let's start with the biggest Broadway sensation in recent years -- Hamilton: An American Musical. Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical chronicle of the life of Alexander Hamilton aka "the ten-dollar founding father" is streaming on Disney+.

What's left to be said that hasn't already been said about this masterpiece. The story is captivating. The songs are so good you're glad they're not leaving your brain anytime soon.

Streaming provides the bonus of seeing the original Broadway cast perform.

Hamilton is as much must-see for TV fans as it is for theater fans. It's the answer to many TV riddles such as why is Dr. Richard Webber a Hercules...

It will come as no surprise to anyone who’s followed the career of director Mark Romanek that his newest work, “Loop,” the pilot episode for eight-episode Amazon Studios series “Tales From the Loop,” is as visually arresting as it is conceptually bold and emotionally evocative.

Best-known for his work on some of the past two decades’ most audacious and powerful music videos and commercials, Romanek has accrued multiple Grammy Awards for his clips for stars from Fiona Apple to Johnny Cash, Taylor Swift to Michael Jackson, Jay-Z to Joni Mitchell, Nine Inch Nails to Madonna. Prizes at Cannes Lions and more have come his way for innovative, emotive spots for Apple, Tiffany, Nike and American Express, among others.

Romanek’s feature film resume is shorter, but just as powerful, with Robin Williams-starrer “One Hour Photo” and his adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Never Let Me Go” both visionary...

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Monday’s episode of “9-1-1.”)

The 118 is back and so are all their emergencies — both professional and personal. On Monday, Season 3 of Fox’s “9-1-1” returned from its long winter hiatus to find Howie/”Chimney” (Kenneth Choi) dealing with some very unexpected family drama, Michael (Rockmond Dunbar) making a controversial decision about his cancer treatment plans and Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) finally moving on from her traumatic past with Doug (Brian Hallisay).

TheWrap broke down all these threads from the episode, titled “Seize the Day,” with “9-1-1” showrunner Tim Minear, starting with Chimney’s storyline, which focused on the appearance of his 20-year-old half-brother Albert on his doorstep. Given the fact that his parents split when he was young, Chimney doesn’t know his sibling at all. His father left Chimney to be raised by his mother in America and went back to South...

“9-1-1: Lone Star” ended its first season last week, making way for fans of the “9-1-1” spinoff series to turn their attention back to the Og show, which returns from hiatus with its midseason premiere Monday. And when the third season of “9-1-1” resumes, so will the problems facing the Station 118 crew, their friends and their family — with the biggest probably being the big tumor inside Michael’s (Rockmond Dunbar) brain.

In TheWrap’s exclusive sneak peek from tonight’s episode, which you can view above, Athena (Angela Bassett), Bobby (Peter Krause) and Michael sit Michael and Athena’s kids down to talk to them about next steps with Michael’s cancer treatment, following his radiation sessions.

“I saw my doctor and the good news is, the tumor didn’t grow. But the bad news is, it didn’t shrink either,” Michael tells May (Corinne Massiah) and Harry (Marcanthonee Jon...

At the Toronto International Film Festival Judi Dench opened up about playing Queen Victoria in the upcoming movie Victoria & Abdul and on getting her first and only tattoo at 81 — or at least the only tattoo she’ll confirm that she has.

“The whole business of getting ready and into that huge suit and then to the corsets and then to the dress and then having got your wig on and everything else, it conditions entirely the way you walk, the way you sit,” Dench, 82, told Entertainment Weekly about getting into character. “All you have to do then is just, you know,...

Singing and dancing in La La Land was demanding. But Emma Stone says it may have been more challenging to learn to play tennis for the role of legendary Billie Jean King in Battle of the Sexes.

“I mean, I had sung before and I had danced a little, so I had that to start out with,” she says of the three months she spent prepping for her Oscar-winning role in 2016’s feel good movie of the year. “But I was a complete novice when it came to tennis.

Dame Judi Dizzle?

Oscar-winning actress Judi Dench can now add rapping to her list of career accomplishments, after sitting down with London-based Mc Lethal Bizzle for some lessons — and eventually a duet.

During the session, which was captured on video and shared by LADBible, Bizzle helps the 82-year-old actress learn some of the words to his songs “Celebrate” and “Pow.” After going over the lyrics together, Dench shared the mic with Bizzle, rapping along with him to the beat.

Doomsdays is not another big budget, effects laden, apocalyptic blockbuster about the end of days. This is the exact opposite. Writer and director Eddie Mullins tells the story of two aimless squatters who wander from one lavish vacation home to another in the Catskills, breaking in and making themselves at home. Justin Rice plays Dirty Fred, the more cultured and outwardly intellectual of the two men. Leo Fitzpatrick plays Bruho, the less stable, paranoid loose cannon. Both men live life by their own rules, which for the most part, means there are no rules.

Dirty Fred and Bruho’s daily life goes on swimmingly, unencumbered by law or societal expectations for some time. They take what they need, do what they want, and generally cause havoc and mischief as necessary for their own amusement. One day, they meet Jaidon, played by Brian Charles Johnson. Jaidon is a husky runaway teenager with limited social skills,...

Hollywood’s impossibly handsome leading man-cum-conscience George Clooney modestly thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for keeping small films alive, in picking up the group’s Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes tonight.

“Big ones do fine; it’s the small ones that need the audience,” said Clooney, who’s known for his “one for them, one for me” approach to his career.

Leave it to Clooney to put the trophy show in perspective. “For the record, if you’re in this room you’ve caught the brass ring,” he told the crowd. “You get to do what you’ve always dreamed to do and be celebrated for it, and it ain’t losing.”

That said, Clooney noted that awards don’t really mean much in the long run. “I don’t remember how many awards Lauren Bacall won. I remember her saying, ‘Just put your lips together and blow.

George Clooney received the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Cecil B. DeMille award at Sunday’s Golden Globes and reflected on his career, new marriage and the French terror attacks in a short and sweet acceptance speech.

“Today was an extraordinary day,” Clooney said of worldwide marches in the wake of the shootings and hostage situations plaguing France, “they were Christians, and Jews and Muslims, they were world leaders, and they weren’t marching in protest, but in the spirit that we won’t walk in fear.”

In his life, Robin Williams followed his Dead Poets Society dictum: “Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.”

From his greatest roles to his standup and TV appearances to his lesser known work, the late comedian played everyone from aliens to animated genies with tireless energy. Whether he was singing, dancing, sashaying, or pontificating, he always held your attention—regardless of whether he was delivering a fart joke or a rousing speech. Below, watch a tribute video that collects some of Williams’s greatest roles, best lines, and moments of brilliance.

It's been 15 months since Zach Braff launched a Kickstarter campaign to ask fans to fund his new movie, and now the film - Wish I Was Here - is about to be released.

Bad news for the city's newsboy cap producers: According to the New York Times, Disney will shutter its hit Broadway musical Newsies this August after a two and a half–year run. The show was an unexpected success for Disney Theatrical, becoming the fastest-recouping show in the company's history and finding a breakout star in original lead actor Jeremy Jordan (Smash). While Disney did not provide a reason for the closure, a dip in ticket sales is likely a factor: The Times reports that "ticket sales have softened in a fairly typical way for a musical that, while popular, never became a blockbuster." Yet while Newsies will leave its home at the Nederlander Theatre on August 24th, it wont be your last chance to see Jack Kelly and Crutchie in action: The musical will be going on a 25-city North American tour launching in October. Seize the day, etc., etc.
