For decades, there have been studies and conversations regarding the perils of obesity, and though being overweight doesn’t inherently make someone unhealthy, it can cause severe medical issues. While those who struggle with excess weight are often told to eat fewer calories and exercise daily, millions of people are still categorized as obese. Now, in “An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution,” Oprah Winfrey is addressing obesity as a disease, the revolutionary medications being used to combat food noise, exiting the WeightWatchers board of directors and giving viewers a glimpse into her personal weight struggles and...

Seeing a contestant lose out in the bonus round is always tougher when it’s one of the bigger prizes, such as the case was in the March 18 episode of Wheel of Fortune. Cairo Hunter made it to the bonus round after winning $28,267. His options for his bonus round category were: Phrase, Thing, and Living Things. He chose Phrase. The letters he then chose were the three consonants H, M, and G and the vowel A. That gave him the board pictured above (THE_ HA_E G___ __AL_T_ES. With the 10 seconds to try to figure it out, Hunter got as far as “They Have Good…” Then, time ran out. “You got three-quarters of it,” host Pat Sajak told him. “They have good something.” The correct answer was “They Have Good Qualities.” Sajak then opened the envelope, and without reading what was inside aloud, noted, “Wow, so the important...

The show must go on… for at least one more night, that is. Jeopardy!‘s Tournament of Champions continued on Monday, March 18, and ended in a runaway that notched another much-needed victory for one of the finalists. Coming into night five of the tournament, Ben Chan had an edge over fellow contestants Yogesh Raut and Troy Meyer with two wins to their single victories (making him one away from taking the whole shebang and notching a spot in Jeopardy! Masters Season 2). However, the other players were far from out of the running, and after this episode, he’s got some real competition to speak of as it’s a match point for not one but two contestants. Right from the start, things seemed to be going Raut’s way, as he earned $8,800 to Chan’s $4,800 and Meyer’s $3,600 in the first round. It was the second round, however, that really...

If you haven’t taken the leap to bundle Disney+ and Hulu, it might be time. Streaming is only getting more expensive and competitive, and the enticing bundle (which also includes ESPN) might be a version of cable TV, but it’s also just cost efficient. Disney+ and Hulu are so intertwined that their monthly listing updates come in the same email — and as such, we decided to compile them here for you in the same list.
Whether you have Disney+ or Hulu, or both (and the IndieWire staff has weighed on our favorites), each has its benefits. Disney has the family-friendly titles, the Star Wars and Marvel (new episodes of “The Bad Batch” and “X-Men: 97” continue through April), while Hulu is the place to catch FX originals and network episodes. Both streamers have the rights to distribute National Geographic titles, which are well worth exploring along with the rest of the library.

It’s been over five years since Stephanie Clifford, a.k.a. Stormy Daniels, rocked the political world. The former adult film star revealed in 2018 she’d been paid $130,000 in hush money by Donald Trump’s attorney-fixer Michael Cohen to silence her story about a sexual encounter with the then-candidate ahead of the 2016 presidential election. However, even though she’s no longer atop every headline in every newspaper, the story is far from over for Daniels. In Peacock’s new documentary Stormy, the actress-turned-director details just how much of a toll her experience in the spotlight and standing up to a sitting president has taken on her — and how much of that bill is still due. Here’s a look at some of the major revelations that can be found in the documentary, which hit the streamer on Monday.

Last week, news broke that Bill Hader would voice the lead in Warner Bros. new fully animated movie The Cat in the Hat, based on Dr. Seuss’ 1957 classic children’s book. Today, the studio confirmed that the film will hit theaters in March 2026, with Hader joined by current SNL player Bowen Yang and longtime SNL writer Paula Pell, as well as Quinta Brunson, Matt Berry, and Xochitl Gomez.
Hader is a seasoned voice actor whose talent has won him roles in Sausage Party, Toy Story 4, and Bob’s Burgers, so it’s easy to see, or rather, hear, why WB would turn to Hader for its new Cat in the Hat movie — but in this case, Warner Bros. execs also had a visual aid, though it’s up for debate whether it helped Hader’s case or hurt it.

Everything’s coming up roses for the 118, with ABC plotting a crossover (of sorts) between 9-1-1 and The Bachelor later this season, according to a report from People.
A “leaked” photo reveals a very familiar firetruck parked outside of Bachelor Mansion, and People‘s report notes that the freshly wetted pavement could indicate that the 118 responds to emergency at the iconic locale while the reality dating franchise is filming its latest premiere. (The building is also used for The Bachelorette and The Golden Bachelor.)

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for the series finale of “Apples Never Fall.”
Still reeling from that “Apples Never Fall” ending? Well, actor Sam Neill is about to take a bite out of just how that shocking finale came to be – and (surprise) it wasn’t even the original conclusion planned by showrunner Melanie Marnich.
“Apples Never Fall” strayed from the Liane Moriarty novel source material, and due to the WGA strike in 2023, production was halted in Australia. Showunner Marnich told IndieWire that due to the strike, she was no longer on set as a writer and executive producer, but that the directors and actors continued until the SAG-AFTRA strike subsequently went into effect.
“They were true to the scripts which I really appreciated and they were so respectful,” Marnich recalled. “But then the actor strike hit and we of course shut down. Honestly, when we came back,...

Kids have access to colorful superhero adventures on a level their parents could only dream of when they were — gulp, sob — younger, yet streaming has also enabled the nostalgia machine to operate in perpetuity, keeping the animated artifacts of yesteryear in circulation.

“An hour of television can change everything,” Billie Piper says in the newly released trailer for Scoop, the upcoming film based on the true events leading up to Prince Andrew’s explosive 2019 BBC Newsnight interview. The eyes of Britain were on journalist Emily Maitlis (played here by Gillian Anderson) as she grilled the royal (Rufus Sewell) about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The fallout was immediate, as Prince Andrew announced that he was stepping back from his public duties in the days following the broadcast.

Twenty one seasons in, and NCIS can still come up with surprises for its characters—and the actors as well! Take, for instance, the March 25 episode, in which McGee (Sean Murray) learns about a close relative he was unaware of thanks to DNA results. “I was surprised to find that one out, too,” Murray tells TV Insider. Something tells us it’s the last thing McGee expects when his wife, Delilah (Margo Harshman), starts him on the path. “Delilah is trying to force him to get into a genealogy, track your ancestors down kind of thing, and McGee is sort of anti that at the beginning because he thinks it’s ridiculous,” previews Murray. “And then as soon as he starts, he finds out that he’s got a long-lost relative somewhere, and that freaks him out pretty good. But he goes down that rabbit hole.” Speaking of relatives, what...

If you watched last week’s Josh Brolin-hosted Saturday Night Live, you might have noticed prominent branding for Chase Bank in the show’s second sketch of the night, “Bank Robbery.”
The sketch opened with the exterior of a Chase Bank and the walls of the set were adorned with the Chase logo. That’s how it aired live, and that’s how it was presented online. That is, until late last week, when the Chase branding was digitally removed from the sketch online and replaced with branding for a generic bank named “Metro Capital.”
We don’t know exactly what prompted the show to remove the Chase branding in this case, although from the looks of things, its (non-essential from a comedy perspective) inclusion appears likely to have been the result of a product placement arrangement.
Branded content isn’t unusual these days on Saturday Night Live. In...

U.K. media regulator Ofcom has found that five programs on the Gb News channel featuring politicians as news presenters broke broadcasting due impartiality rules.
The investigation, which was launched last year, concluded that two episodes of “Jacob Rees-Mogg’s State of the Nation,” hosted by the titular politician; two episodes of “Friday Morning With Esther and Phil,” featuring Esther McVey and Philip Davies; and one episode of “Saturday Morning With Esther and Phil,” broadcast during May and June 2023, failed to comply with Rules 5.1 and 5.3 of the Broadcasting Code. All three politicians are members of parliament representing the ruling Conservative party.
