Jesse Armstrong, the creator of Succession, is one of the hottest tickets in Hollywood after the booming success of his enthralling HBO drama. Any network or studio would be lucky to have him, and HBO knows this. In the interest of keeping one of their best and brightest talents close, Armstrong’s next project, a star-studded feature film about billionaires caught in an international crisis, is on the fast track to audiences who crave nail-biting drama and unforgettable characters.

In stand-up comedy, silence typically equals death. You tell a joke and the audience laughs? Great. You tell a joke and they groan? Well, at least they were interested enough to respond. Tell a joke and … nothing? You may have lost the room altogether.

For Ramy Youssef, though, a joke greeted with silence allowed him to find his comedic voice, which has expanded beyond his stand-up to include creating and/or starring in a pair of acclaimed comedy series — Ramy on Hulu, Mo on Netflix — a juicy supporting role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things,...

Jackson Brundage played the role of Jamie Scott in One Tree Hill from season 5 until the show ended in 2012. After One Tree Hill, Brundage had a few TV roles and starred as a series regular in the comedy See Dad Run. Brundage retired from acting in 2015 and has since been fairly active on social media, interacting with fans and sharing his adventures.

Joining the One Tree Hill cast in season 5, actor Jackson Brundage portrayed the role of Jamie Scott, but what happened after the show's end in 2012?

The Exorcist 2023 cast the actor who may be playing its possessed child. The film – which is coming to theaters on October 13 – is being directed by David Gordon Green as the beginning of a trilogy of legacy sequels to the 1973 classic, just like his Halloween trilogy that kicked off in 2018. The currently untitled project will star Leslie Odom Jr. as a father whose child is being afflicted by demonic forces that lead him to believe he might need to call an exorcist.

Per Deadline, Lidya Jewett has just been cast in a major role in The Exorcist. The actor joins a lineup that also includes Hereditary and The Handmaid's Tale star Ann Dowd. Her character has not yet been specified, but considering that the 16-year-old is the first young actor who has been cast in the film, she could very well be playing Odom Jr.'s possessed daughter.

The afternoon before Ramadan starts, Ramy Youssef is sitting in a restaurant in downtown Manhattan, dressed in sweats and a black Nike snapback hat. He’s loading up on food: a hearty stack of lemon curd pancakes, a side of turkey sausage, ketchup he liberally seasons with pepper. The 28-year-old has just finished performing downstairs at the Comedy Cellar, where he started out in typical slacker-bro comedian style, bemoaning the fact that he doesn’t have a girlfriend with whom he can grab fro-yo. Then he segued into a bit about watching Surviving R.

After years of standing on-stage as a comic and appearing on-screen in such scripted series as “See Dad Run” and “Mr. Robot,” Ramy Youssef has combined both sides of his artistry for a self-titled streaming comedy.

Youssef created, stars in and also directed an episode of “Ramy,” centered on life as a Muslim man trying to navigate his faith, family, friends and dating. Although episodes of the series will switch perspective later in the season to allow insight into key players in his character’s life, such as his mother and sister, the majority of the show comes from Youssef’s point of view.

“It makes me nervous, but I think it should,” he says of coming from such a personal place. “I think if you feel comfortable with what you’re putting out there fully there’s probably a problem. I think there should be a level of, ‘I...

The former child star now has a child star of his own! In a new interview on the website Babble, Happy Days' Scott Baio talks about parenting his 5-year-old daughter, Bailey, who has already made a couple of guest appearances on his new Nickelodeon show See Dad Run. "She's always dancing, always singing…she's a creative kid," said the 52-year-old actor, who previously documented his love life in VH1's reality show Scott Baio Is 45…and Single and, later, Scott Baio Is 46…and Pregnant. "I support whatever her path [...]...

Scott Baio has been enjoying his return to television on the original Nick@Nite series "See Dad Run." In it, he plays David Hobbs, a television star, who steps away from the spotlight to be a stay-at-home dad. On the latest episode, the producers staged a mini-"Happy Days" reunion when they cast Ted McGinley as an old acting rival. McGinley played Roger on the seminal sitcom while Baio played Chachi -- and even got a short-lived spin-off with the character.

Now, the two are both fathers and their kids are competing against each other for student class president. As expected, this brings up their old rivalry, and the two find themselves quickly stoking their own competitive fires again.

"On ‘Ted Plus 10,’ I raised 10 TV kids, while you raised two," Ted said.

"Your next show should be ‘Calf-Biter: The Ted McGinley’ story. Or, wait a minute, how about, ‘Ted McGinley...

Lily Rabe is returning to "The Good Wife."

The "American Horror Story" star is reprising the role of Petra Moritz, a character she originated in Season 2. In the episode, "Going for the Gold," the Justice Department refuses to reveal who will be testifying against Eli Gold (Alan Cumming), so Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston) takes Assistant Us Attorney Josh Perrotti (Kyle MacLachlan) to civil court for defamation in order to force him to answer her questions under oath.

"Law & Order" veteran S. Epatha Merkerson will also appear as a judge. Other guest stars in the episode include Amanda Peet, Maura Tierney, T.R. Knight and Dominic Chianese.

Rabe will also return to "American Horror Story" for Season 3.

If you’re among the many fans who were heartbroken at the news that iCarly was ending, you’re first break from grieving hits Nick at Nite tomorrow at 8/7c (your second comes at a future date when Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande move to the dual spin-off Sam and Cat).

Hitting the absolute center of the blurry line between Nick and Nick at Nite, Wendell & Vinnie is (in some official, technical sense) reportedly an airing of Nick at Nite, celebrated on the homepage of nickatnite.com, but when you click through to the show’s homepage, you find yourself at nick.com/shows/wendell-and-vinnie.

There’s a certain sense to that, not just because of the timeslot, but because the show itself (insofar as original programming goes) does make it somewhat tricky to point to exactly where Nick at Nite begins and Nick ends. This probably makes even more...
