John Oliver was back at it again with Last Week Tonight on Max and threw some darts at frequent target Tucker Carlson. The former Fox News host caught some strays from the comedian amid a discussion on homeschooling.
While exposing the varied reasons people have to homeschool, the show aired an interview from Today where a fifteen-year-old asked to be taken out of the school system after suffering from bullying.
“I felt more confident. It was kind of like a sunshine — the clouds opened…,” Victoria said after starting to get homeschooled.
Oliver then said, “That’s great. That is very nice. And I know that’s not something you usually hear me say after a clip on this show.”
“It’s usually a variation of ‘That’s horrible’ or ‘That’s heartbreaking,'” Oliver continued before an image of Carlson appeared on screen and quipped saying, “Or shut the f...

When the writers’ strike began back in May, late night shows were among the first to go dark — and that included “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver.” But now the WGA strike has ended, and Oliver has rejoined his late night counterparts in returning as soon as possible.
If you’re here, you’re probably wondering how soon that is, and that is a fair question. Back in August, insiders told TheWrap that it could be up to two weeks between the end of the strike and the return of late night. But in reality, it wasn’t even close.
After several months, yes, there is a new episode of “Last Week Tonight” on Sunday, Oct. 8, at 11 p.m. Et/Pt on HBO and streaming on Max at 11 p.m. Et and 8 p.m. Pt.
In Oliver’s first episode back after the strike, he said he was “immensely proud...

Emerald Fennell Talks “Boy Licking Inside Of A Bathtub” Beginning For ‘Saltburn’ – Contenders London
Emerald Fennell talked the expected starting point for her new film Saltburn at Deadline’s Contenders London event.
The director’s follow-up to her Oscar Best Picture-nominated and Best Screenplay-winner Promising Young Woman stars Barry Keoghan as working-class Oxford University student Oliver, who becomes obsessed with manor-born aristocrat Felix, played by Jacob Elordi.
“It’s hard to say because it creeps up on you sometimes,” Fennell said in answer to a question on the inspiration for the film. “For me, it was probably six or seven years ago… when I saw a boy licking the inside of a bathtub,” she continued, referring to a scene in the film.
“Two things came into my mind… somebody saying I wasn’t in love with him and then the licking inside of the bathtub. I thought… I like this person already because they’re insane with desire and they’re a liar,” she continued.

Everyone thought that Best Supporting Actress was locked up and secured, with Lily Gladstone from “Killers of the Flower Moon” the overwhelming favorite. Then came the bombshell: Gladstone had been switched from supporting to lead. This threw Oscarologists into a state of hysteria as many claimed it was a foolish move — she was a shoo-in to win Best Supporting Actress, why change? — while others argued that her screen time in Martin Scorsese‘s epic justified the move.
The one thing we can all agree on, however, is that it has blown the Best Supporting Actress race wide open, which could leave room for a surprise nomination or two. Enter Rosamund Pike. Pike stars in Emerald Fennell‘s latest flick, “Saltburn,” which follows Barry Keoghan as Oliver Quick, an Oxford student who becomes obsessed with his rich classmate, Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi).

“Saltburn” has screened at this year’s London Film Festival and it looks like writer-director Emerald Fennell has another hit on her hands after the success of her debut, “Promising Young Woman.” That film won her Best Original Screenplay (plus Best Director and Picture nominations) in 2021, but she’s stepped her filmmaking game up a gear with the ambitious “Saltburn.”
The film follows Barry Keoghan as Oliver, an Oxford University student who becomes obsessed with his rich classmate, Felix, played by Jacob Elordi. Oliver stays at the extraordinary manor of Felix’s family, where, without any spoilers, further drama plays out. The film is a funny, witty, knowing examination of the rich upper class and has plenty of touches of darkness, too to flesh out the picture. As a result, “Saltburn” feels like it could be a genuine Academy Awards contender. Here are all the Oscars we think “Saltburn” could be nominated for.

Hulu just released more proof of why it renewed Only Murders in the Building for a fourth season: season 3 had the most viewed 2023 finale on Hulu, based on views after its first day streaming.
A view is defined as total stream time divided by runtime. Hulu released the results but as usual, it wouldn’t provide details other than to say the series remains its most watched original comedy ever.
Season 3 was continually ranked in the streamer’s Top 15, Hulu says, while the show has ranked on Nielsen’s Top 10 original series chart since launch. On premiere day of season 3, the series had the most views of any scripted Hulu Original in 2023.

Exclusive: Oscar-winning writer-director Emerald Fennell says that “if you’re prodding at something uncomfortable, that’s what movies are for.”
The filmmaker spoke to this columnist at the BFI London Film Festival (Lff) opening night gala reception held at BFI Southbank following the international premiere of Saltburn, her deliciously dark comedy about manners and class.
Recently, at Telluride, Ilker Çatak, director of The Teachers’ Lounge, Germany’s submission for Best International Feature at the 96th Academy Awards, discussed movies that provoke, and he admiringly cited the example of Fennell’s Saltburn.
Speaking to me, Fennell accepted the compliment graciously but argued that the Amazon Studios film is not provocative for the sake of it. “If you’re aiming to make something that sounds true and even if it’s metaphorical and kind of Gothic, and there’s something that makes people shift in their seats, it’s because we’re...

London film festival: Emerald Fennell’s followup to Promising Young Woman boasts dazzling turns from Rosamund Pike and Carey Mulligan, but the script could have used another all-nighter in the library
A lovely supporting turn from Rosamund Pike – and a raucous cameo from Carey Mulligan – are the main reasons to like the opening movie of the London film festival: the new film from Emerald Fennell, whose fierce 2020 debut Promising Young Woman won her a screenplay Oscar.
Saltburn is an English mystery drama of the high-cheekboned upper classes, watchable but sometimes weirdly overheated and grandiose, with some secondhand posh-effect stylings, a movie derived from Evelyn Waugh and Patricia Highsmith, with a bit of Pasolini; it’s supposed to be (mostly) set in 2006, but behaves as if it’s 1932.

This article contains Only Murders in the Building season 3 spoilers.
It wouldn’t feel like late summer transitioning into the crispness of fall if there wasn’t another season of the perennial comedic murder-mystery Only Murders in the Building. Co-creators Steve Martin and John Hoffman’s New York seems to hone in on the magic of the Big Apple, wrapping you in colorful cardigans, raining orange leaves upon you, and allowing you to curl up and enjoy witty one-liners and the charming score of Siddhartha Khosla.
But don’t get too comfortable.
Like the real New York, the charm is juxtaposed with some big city crime, and in the third season, that is the murder of faded Hollywood star Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd). Ben collapses on opening night of “Death Rattle” – the play that could give Oliver (Martin Short) a new lease on his career. It also gives Charles (Steve...

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers from “The Blackening,” now streaming on Starz and available on VOD.
Tracy Oliver is best-known as the co-writer of “Girls Trip” and the creator of “Harlem” and “First Wives Club,” but she’s also quite proficient with numbers. And in terms of the success of her latest film, “The Blackening,” the numbers tell an important tale.
“I don’t think people understand the math of it all,” Oliver says, settling into a plush beige armchair in the lobby of the 1 Hotel South Beach in Miami Beach on a sweltering day in June. “Even my family thought I made more on “Girls Trip” than I actually did.”
Despite the 2017 comedy becoming a massive box office hit — earning more than $140 million worldwide — Oliver didn’t have any backend on the film. “It was considered such a risk when we made it that they weren’t going...

The comedian and TV host shared several stories, including one about a gig he did at the University of East Anglia in England, which he described as “the lowest it ever got for me.”
“The beauty with stand-up is that it’s a fundamentally humiliating job,” Oliver told Colbert. “But it’s good for the human soul.” He went on to recount the performance,...

After five months off the air, a staple of broadcast television is back. This week marks the return of late night following the conclusion of the WGA strike.
Just like the 2007-2008 writers’ strike, late night shows were the first to be impacted. The day after the WGA announced it was going on strike in May, “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” and “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” all closed up shop. But unlike the strike from over a decade ago, the five biggest hosts in the game decided to work with each other instead of against one another.

As with every season of Only Murders in the Building thus far, just as one murder gets solved by the sleuthing trio, another person gets killed. In the season 3 finale, Ben Gilroy’s (Paul Rudd) killer is caught and Mabel (Selena Gomez), Oliver (Martin Short), and Charles (Steve Martin) not only get to celebrate the opening night of Death Rattle Dazzle, but also another case successfully closed.

But the death of Sazz isn’t the only mystery left to be solved by season 4, which writing is set to start on soon, now that the AMPTP has finally agreed to the WGA’s fair terms. Here are the big questions we have after the season 3 finale.

In that third season, our heroes Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short) and Mabel (Selena Gomez) investigate a murder behind the scenes of a Broadway show. Rudd guest starred as Ben Glenroy, a Hollywood action star whose Broadway debut is cut short by his untimely death. Street portrayed Loretta Durkin, who aids the trio in their investigation.

I hardly paid any mind to this character and secretly wanted it to be the talented and mysterious Loretta Durkin the entire time out of pure selfishness so we could spend more time with Meryl Streep in Season 4.
Alas, Ben’s killer was none other than Cliff DeMeo (Wesley Taylor). Cliff and his mother Donna DeMeo (Linda Emond) co-produced Oliver’s (Martin Short) big Broadway return—you know,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Only Murders in the Building, Season 3, Episode 10, “Opening Night.”] Only Murders in the Building has uncovered its Season 3 murderer, solving the mystery behind Ben Glenroy’s (Paul Rudd) untimely death. As it turns out, Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel’s (Selena Gomez) theory that producer Donna DeMeo (Linda Emond) was responsible for poisoning Ben was accurate but not a fully-baked theory. Sure, she provided Ben with a Schmakary’s cookie sprinkled with rat poison, but her son Clifford DeMeo (Wesley Taylor) gave Ben the final push down an elevator shaft at the Arconia. At first, Donna confesses to it all, claiming she killed Ben, but Mabel notices the protective nature of her confession, which includes the fact that she’d only intended to knock Ben out after reading a bad review for the play. Realizing Donna initially intended to protect her son, Mabel observes the mother-son duo from afar,...

Hulu has renewed “Only Murders in the Building” for a fourth season. The news comes the same day as Hulu’s release of the Season 3 finale.

Curtain call!
Only Murders In the Building Season 3 Episode 10 concluded the latest murder mystery as the trio figured out the circumstances surrounding Ben's death, while Oliver got the musical he'd always dreamed of.
Even if the previous episode had all but confirmed who the killer was, a twist was to be expected in this episode, and a twist they delivered.
The season finale tied together all the major plot points, gave several conflicts the resolution they deserved, and teased Only Murders in the Building Season 4's murder mystery.
Only Murders in the Building Season 3 had been an ode to motherhood and sacrifices mothers make for their children, and who better to showcase that than Donna?
Donna narrated the episode, explaining some of her greatest achievements as a producer, but her best production was Cliff, even if she didn't admit it.
She was enamored with him when the doctors placed him in her hands.

Who killed Paul Rudd? That was the number one question on Only Murders in the Building all season long, as the Hulu murder mystery comedy launched viewers into its third season with the star-studded slaying of special guest star Rudd as superstar Ben Glenroy. Now, following the season finale, “Opening Night,” we have our answer, and we’re left with an even deadlier question: Who killed Jane Lynch?
Before its shocking final scene, “Opening Night” untangles the mystery of Ben Glenroy’s death. At the start of the season, everyone assumed Glenroy had died onstage during the opening night of Oliver Putnam’s (Martin Short) new play. In fact, he survived, only to plummet to his death later that evening down an elevator shaft at the Arconia. Did the same killer strike twice,...

There's more to Loretta Durkin than meets the eye. Since the beginning of "Only Murders in the Building" season three, Loretta, played by Meryl Streep, has been suspect number one in the mystery of who killed Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd). Though suspicion has been swirling surrounding Loretta all season, at-home detectives sent the investigation in a whole new direction when they uncovered major secrets about her past. Loretta may not be a killer, but she may have served as the ultimate red herring in a story that proves a mother would do anything for her child - possibly even commit murder.
Is Loretta Dickie's Mother?
Leading up to the season finale, the prevailing Reddit theory among viewers was that Loretta and Ben's brother-turned-manager, Dickie Glenroy (Jeremy Shamos), were accomplices in Ben's murder. Citing episode seven, "CoBro," released on Sept. 12, the...

CBS’s “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert”, ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” were the first shows to leave the air when the writers strike began on May 2, and now will be among the first to return on Monday night.
Comedian John Oliver got his first take on the strike out, exuberantly returning Sunday night to his “Last Week Tonight” show on HBO and delivering full-throated support for the strike.
Oliver cheerily delivered a recap of stories from the last five months before turnings serious, calling the strike “an immensely difficult time” for all those in the industry.

To kick off the show, Oliver first homed in on Senator John Kennedy’s reading of an explicit part of “All Boys Aren’t Blue” during a book-banning Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, marveling at the seriousness Kennedy maintained while doing so.
“Look, I know you might be wondering what are they going to talk about when they come back? What is so important that it has to be the first thing they bring up? Well, it’s this!” Oliver joked. “Since the moment the phrase ‘strap-on harness’ careened out of Senator Foghorn Leghorn’s mouth,...

John Oliver became the first late night host to officially return on Sunday night, kicking off a new season of “Last Week Tonight” with his writers fully onboard. Naturally, he addressed the 146-day strike pretty quickly, applauding the guild for getting their deal, and calling out the studios for how long it took to offer it.
“While I’m happy they eventually got a fair deal and immensely proud of what our union accomplished, but I’m also furious that it took the studios 148 days to achieve a deal that they could have offered on day f—ing one,” Oliver said.
Though hiatus time was built into most of the late night shows, they were still off for several months, meaning the hosts couldn’t cover the biggest stories happening. To rectify that, Oliver effectively did a speed run of the news, particularly piling onto Rep. Lauren Boebert’s ouster from “Beetlejuice” last month,...

“Last Week Tonight With John Oliver” made its return to the air after five months on Sunday following the conclusion of the Hollywood writers’ strike.
Oliver had a lot of news to recap his first night back, doing quick riffs on everything from U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert to “Barbenheimer,” but he did take some time out to talk about the strike.
”I wish so much I could have told you these jokes at the time, but I couldn’t because our writers, the people who wrote those jokes, were forced to strike for a fair contract for the last five months,” Oliver said. “And it was an immensely difficult time, not just for them but for everyone else working on this show and many others who could no longer do their jobs. And to be clear, this strike happened for good reasons. Our industry has seen its work severely squeezed in recent years.

During the first 15 minutes or so of his first show back since the Writers Guild of America strike ended, he blazed through the biggest news stories that happened during the 148-day strike.
