Modern Family is back… but don’t expect a reboot.
Four of the original cast members of the ABC sitcom are returning to their roles, starring in a new commercial for WhatsApp, the chat platform owned by Meta.
The stars, Julie Bowen (Claire Dunphy), Ty Burrell (Phil Dunphy), Eric Stonestreet (Cameron Tucker), and Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Mitchell Pritchett), are reprising their roles for the spot, which pokes fun at group chats in which some members have an iPhone and a blue bubble, and others have an Android phone with a dreaded green bubble.
The platform is pitching itself as a solution to that “divide,” using the ABC sitcom as a hook.
Watch:
Ferguson sparked online rumors of a Modern Family reboot when he shared a photo from the set of the sitcom, captioning the photo “Haven’t seen this view in a while.” He declined to share more when asked...

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is calling “bullshit” when it comes to comedy being hurt by political correctness. Speaking on the “On With Kara Swisher” podcast (via The Daily Beast), the Emmy winner pushed back against the idea that comedy has in any way suffered due to a changing social landscape that favors P.C. content over anything offensive.
“There’s a lot of talk about how comics can’t be funny now,” said Louis-Dreyfus. “I think that’s bullshit. Physical comedy and intellectual comedy and political comedy, I think, has never been more interesting, because there’s so much to do.”
“It’s a ripe time,” she added. “Comedy is risky and it can be offensive, but that’s what makes it so enjoyable. I personally don’t buy the conceit that this is an impossible time to be funny. Maybe some people aren’t laughing at your jokes, but that doesn...

Jerry Seinfeld did not hold back after a pro-Palestinian heckler interrupted his comedy set during a show in Sydney, Australia over the weekend. The heckler yelled to free Palestine during Seinfeld’s set.
“We have a genius ladies and gentlemen, he solved the Middle East,” Seinfeld quipped as the crowd cheered the comedian on. “It’s the Jewish comedians, that’s who we have to get. They’re the ones doing everything.”
The heckler continued to yell as he was led away by security and Seinfeld kept going saying, “They’re going to start punching you in about three seconds, so I would try to get all of your genius out so we can all learn from you”.
Seinfeld continued,”You’re really influencing everyone here we’re all on your side now, because you’ve made your point so well, and in the right venue, you’ve come to...

Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy show on June 17 at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia, got disrupted by a heckler who interrupted the “Seinfeld” creator’s set by shouting: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” In video from the event shared by the Australian Jewish Association, Seinfeld was seen roasting the heckler as security escorted him outside.
“We have a genius, ladies and gentlemen. He solved the Middle East!” Seinfeld said sarcastically as the audience laughed and cheered (via Rolling Stone). “It’s the Jewish comedians, that’s who we have to get! They’re the ones doing everything.”
As the heckler continued to shout “Palestine will be free” as he was being ejected from the arena, Seinfeld quipped: “Go ahead, keep going! They’re going to start punching you in about three seconds so I would try to get all of your genius out so...

Ellen DeGeneres has been sitting at home not going anything for two years since The Ellen DeGeneres Show ended. She faced backlash and scrutiny based on rumors of a toxic workplace on her show. However, after two years of sitting at home, Ellen is now planning her huge comeback.
Here is what you need to know about Ellen’s big comeback plans.
Ellen DeGeneres Planning Entertainment Comeback

Hiram Kasten, renowned for his memorable roles in television, including his appearances on ‘Seinfeld’, has passed away at the age of 71. Kasten battled multiple health issues over the last seven years, including prostate cancer and Crohn’s disease. In recent months, he privately disclosed to loved ones that he was terminally ill. Despite his health challenges, he continued to receive support and affection from friends, who engaged with him through frequent Zoom calls, which his wife Diana credited with extending his life by approximately two months.
Hiram Kasten began his entertainment career in stand-up comedy in 1978, making a mark in the New York City and New Jersey comedy scenes. He was notably passed by Jerry Seinfeld at an audition at ‘The Comic Strip’, marking a significant milestone in his career.

Hiram Kasten, a comedian well-known across the New York comedy club circuit and in shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, has died. He was 71.
Kasten died in his home in Batavia, New York, after seven years of fighting several illnesses, including prostate cancer and Crohn’s disease, an obituary in his local paper The Batavian reported.
Kasten was a regular comedian at New York’s Comic Strip, where he met then-mc Jerry Seinfeld and the two eventually became friends.
He also made regular appearances at Catch a Rising Star, The Improv, The Comedy Cellar and Caroline’s throughout the 1970s and 1980s. At Dangerfield’s, he ran his own show on Sunday nights for many years.

I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that "Mad Men" is one of the best TV dramas of all time. A shining example of the peak TV era (which might be dead at this point), the series followed a group of boozing, chain-smoking, morally flawed advertising executives working on Madison Avenue in the 1960s and early '70s. At the center of it all was Don Draper, played by Jon Hamm. Don was literally living a lie — not only was his constantly cheating on his wife, he was also pretending to be someone he wasn't, having stolen the identity of a soldier killed during World War II.
After seven seasons, "Mad Men" ended with Don meditating and seemingly dreaming up a famous Coca-Cola ad with a smile on his face. It was a pretty perfect ending for a pretty perfect show. But these days, nothing really ends, does it? Reboots...

Songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul are on the verge of Egot status… that is, if Emmy voters nominate their song from “Only Murders in the Building” and it winds up winning three months from now.
Pasek and Paul — already Oscar winners for “La La Land” and Tony and Grammy winners for “Dear Evan Hansen” — could finally manage that feat with the witty comic patter song “Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?,” sung by Steve Martin and co-written with fellow Tony and Grammy winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman for the third season of the Hulu comedy-drama.
They are among the many prominent songwriters who have entered songs in this year’s Emmy competition. Voting began Thursday, with approximately 550 members of the Television Academy music peer group eligible to vote in seven music categories. Voting ends June 24 and the nominations will be announced July 17.

A few months ago, Elizabeth Kaiden and Nitza Wilon from The Writers Lab approached me with a simple question: “What percentage of movies are written by women over the age of 40?”
The Writers Lab is an organization set up specifically to nurture the talent of female screenwriters over the age of 40, via workshops, labs, and advocacy. They describe their mission as being to “amplify the voices of women in their prime whose stories have not been told… working toward a new landscape where the female narrative is in equal proportion to the male narrative.”
A fascinating question in support of a good cause — just my kinda thing!
So I turned to the data to see what I could uncover. I looked at the age and gender of the people behind 38,803 writing credits, across 16,624 live-action fiction feature films. There is a more detailed methodology in the Notes section at the end of this article.

After weeks of FYC events and relentless campaigning from studios, voting for the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards nominations has officially begun, with Television Academy members holding ballots in hand.
Nearly 24,000 industry professionals, divided among 31 professional peer groups, sit among the organization’s ranks, each member voting on specific categories.

According to TV Academy rules, the number of nominees is determined by the number of submissions. However, drama and comedy series are designated for eight shows each to make the final cut. There were 229 total series submitted in the drama, comedy, and limited or anthology series categories, compared to 309 last year, marking a 33% decrease.

Ever want to go day drinking with living comedy legend Julia Louis-Dreyfus? Now you can live vicariously through Seth Meyers thanks to a brand-new video from Late Night.
Following in the tradition of Meyers’ boozy day hangs with stars like Lizzo, Kristen Stewart and Will Forte, it didn’t take long for Veep‘s Louis-Dreyfus (who was promoting her new film Tuesday) to declare that the show was “a terrible idea.” Meyers promptly chugged their very first cocktail: a Julia Louis-Dry Martini. “Are you out of your mind?” she asked — the first of many, many questions she had throughout the 16-minute video.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus was the latest celebrity to take part in Seth Meyers‘ semi-regular Late Night segment “Day Drinking,” and it only took her one sip of a dirty martini to realize, “This show is a terrible idea.” The multi-time Emmy-winning actress appeared on the show to promote her new movie Tuesday, but by the end of the segment, she was spilling her guts, revealing her favorite Weekend Update host and whether she would call Jerry Seinfeld or Larry David if she ended up in prison. Things kicked off with a Veep-themed round of drinks inspired by Louis-Dreyfus’ time as Vice President Selina Meyer on the hit HBO comedy series. This included a Norman Rockefeller (ruby port and Goldschläger), a Harry Truman (two Jägerbombs dropped into beer), and a Dick Cheney, which was just a shot. “Because he shot somebody in the face?” Louis-Dreyfus said. “He did,” Meyers replied. “And then we look back on it.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus has pushed back at former co-star Jerry Seinfeld’s negative remarks about “political correctness” in comedy, saying that having “an antenna about sensitivities is not a bad thing” and that complaining about political correctness is “a red flag, because it sometimes means something else”.
Louis-Dreyfus was speaking to the New York Times and was asked about Seinfeld’s claim that TV comedy had been wrecked by “the extreme left and PC crap and people worrying so much about offending other people”.

Seinfeld stated that audiences are veering toward live stand-up shows because of the lack of censored content. He added that comedy series on television is different from the past, citing how jokes are now heavily reviewed and often cut before they air.
In an interview with the New York Times published Sunday, Louis-Dreyfus called her former co-stars comments a “red flag.”
“When I hear people starting to complain about political correctness—and I understand why people might push back on it—but to me, that’s a red flag because sometimes it means something else,” Louis-Dreyfus stated. “I believe being aware of certain sensitivities is not a bad thing.”

Jerry Seinfeld established himself as one of the most popular comedians during the 90s and his popularity was further bolstered by the widely acclaimed sitcom Seinfeld. In the series, the comedian played a fictionalized version of himself, alongside actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who essayed the role of Elaine.

When you look at comedians who complain that political correctness is ruining comedy, it’s typically said by older white men. They just believe that comedy is dying because you can’t knowingly offend people. And so they blame the younger generation for being too “woke.” And recently, the comedian who has been on the forefront of that sort of messaging is none other than Jerry Seinfeld. During a podcast interview, he warned people about the “extreme left and PC crap.” Now, we have one of his “Seinfeld” co-stars pushing back against that sort of comment.

How do you ever get past the loss of a loved one? Time and patience often help the most, yet when we see our loved ones trending toward death, we frequently find ourselves bargaining for more time. Tuesday, the feature directorial debut of Daina Oniunas-Pusic examines a woman faced with crushing loss or the choice to take on an impossible task. Like most of us, she chooses a task far beyond her understanding. The setup opens the door for one of Julia Louis-Dreyfus‘s most potent performances on film. However, Tuesday‘s flaws become more apparent with its slow pacing and questionable narrative choices.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is weighing in on comedians who say political correctness affects their comedy.
The Veep star is not opposed to being sensitive to certain topics and doesn’t think being politically correct threatens comedy.
“If you look back on comedy and drama both, let’s say 30 years ago, through the lens of today, you might find bits and pieces that don’t age well,” Dreyfus told The New York Times in an interview. “And I think to have an antenna about sensitivities is not a bad thing. It doesn’t mean that all comedy goes out the window as a result.”
She continued, “When I hear people starting to complain about political correctness — and I understand why people might push back on it — but to me that’s a red flag, because it sometimes means something else. I believe being aware of certain sensitivities is not a bad thing.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus has taken the challenge to test her acting skills beyond the comedy genre with her latest film, Tuesday. The fantasy drama, made in collaboration between A24, the British Film Institute, and BBC Film, presents the Seinfeld actress as a mother of a terminally ill daughter.
Daina O. Pusić’s directorial debut presented the comedian with a new challenge, but Dreyfus did not shy away from admitting that some part of it was emotionally harrowing for her.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus discussed political correctness, the roles she’s drawn to, including starring in upcoming film Tuesday (out June 14) where she stars as a mother whose teenage daughter has a terminal illness, and more in a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times.
The actress has portrayed a variety of characters with “sharp edges” — from Seinfeld’s Elaine Benes to the self-absorbed Selina Meyer in Veep — they’re very funny, but they are not “good girls,” she said. “I don’t play girls who behave a way that a good girl should behave.

The recent release of “Unfrosted,” directed by Jerry Seinfeld, has had an underwhelming debut on Netflix. Many have even called it one of the decade’s worst movies. Despite its star-studded cast featuring Seinfeld, Jim Gaffigan, and Amy Schumer, along with America’s love for Pop-Tarts — $3 billion sold in 2022 — the film lacks the humorous punch needed to become a true hit. The True History Of Toaster Pastries Although “Unfrosted” leaves viewers wishing for the 93 minutes they spent watching the film back, the true history of toaster pastries can offer a more engaging narrative.

Jerry Seinfeld is calling for a return to “dominant masculinity” despite admitting he’s not the perfect example of it himself. In an episode of the Honestly podcast with Bari Weiss, Jerry opened up about his views on traditional masculinity and how it has influenced his career and personal life. Yeah, I get the toxic thing. Thank you, thank you. But still, I like a real man, Jerry quipped, reflecting on the unspoken hierarchy from previous generations. The comedian reminisced about iconic figures from his youth who embodied these traits—John F. Kennedy, Muhammad Ali, Sean Connery, and Howard Cosell—personalities he admired...

John Mulaney’s wildly chaotic six-episode run of Everybody’s In LA featured old punks, phone-ins and just about every top comedian in the states.
But the show, which ran for six episodes around the Netflix Is A Joke Festival between May 3 and May 10, was originally designed as a variety show. “I wanted everyone to go make what they wanted and I will put it on. We can’t get renewed. We should actually be a variety show,” he said.
Mulaney was asked why he wanted to make a show that was largely difficult? He said that Netflix approached him as they wanted to do something live across the comedy festival but weren’t entirely sure what. “One idea they had was stand-up at the Geffen Theater. Only with only David doing stand-up, just Laura Nyro stories. He had a tight hour,” Mulaney joked. “I liked that it was an...

It’s an early Friday morning in May and comedian Alex Edelman is on a Zoom video call from a Los Angeles hotel. He has a bit of a bed head and says that he had to borrow the socks he is wearing, a detail he shares when I tell him I’m nervous about our interview because he’s a really “smart comic.”
“That is so nice but.. I’m not a smart comic. I had that realization today when I figured all the stuff that I forgot to pack for my trip to Los Angeles,” Edelman says. “I forgot dress shoes, a belt. I forgot to pack socks.”
Edelman traveled from his New York City area home for the premiere of Jerry Seinfeld’s Pop Tarts movie, “Unfrosted.” He makes an appearance in the film as the Apple Head character.
“Jerry called out the cast’s name yesterday.

Will Smith can’t escape the reminders of his infamous Oscars slap, even in Bad Boys: Ride or Die.
The fourth film in the Bad Boys franchise features a moment reminiscent of the actor’s onstage altercation with Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards, but this time Smith is the one being slapped.
In the scene, Smith’s character, Mike, is having a panic attack. His detective partner Marcus (Martin Lawrence) helps him snap out of it by slapping him repeatedly in a moment played for comedic value.
During the 2022 Oscars, Smith shockingly stood up from his seat and walked onstage to smack Rock across the face after the comedian made a joke about the actor’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair. After hitting Rock, Smith repeatedly shouted, “Keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth!”
He has since apologized numerous times...

To fans of the comedian, this shouldn’t come as a surprise — the former O.J. Simpson prosecutor has been a guest on his “Oh, Hello” Broadway show, the trial popped up in his stand-up, and Clark recently appeared on Netflix’s hilarious talk series “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in LA.”
“The O.J. Simpson trial was just an all-consuming experience for me as a kid, and I could talk about it for hours and hours,” Mulaney told IndieWire during a recent interview.

When Michael Richards’ most well-known character, Kramer, erupted through the door of onscreen neighbor Jerry Seinfeld 35 years ago, he also burst into the homes of audiences everywhere, finding fast acclaim for his madcap antics and refreshing lack of filter. At the time he and his castmates were waging what Seinfeld has called the “sacred mission” of comedy. That mission, Richards tells Rolling Stone, was “to get the laugh. Like Jason seeking the Golden Fleece, to seek the ha ha. That’s the big treasure, and that’s ultimately what we were after together.

Jerry Seinfeld opened up about the negative reception of his latest Netflix movie, Unfrosted. Seinfeld shared that he didn’t care about the critical opinion and commented that he wanted to read the negative reviews since he found them to be funny. The film is loosely based on the invention of Pop-Tarts toaster pastries, and Seinfeld played Bob Cabana, a character based on William Post who created them.

Comedian and director Jerry Seinfeld, 70, shared his thoughts on evolved perceptions of masculinity.
Seinfeld, who just released his directorial debut film Unfrosted, which is set in the 1960s, expressed his fascination with the “agreed-upon hierarchy” that he believes has been “vaporized” in the present day. He suggested that this loss of a clear social structure has contributed to the erratic and chaotic behavior he observes in modern society, such as aggressive driving.
“I think that is why people lean on the horn and drive in the crazy way that they drive: because we have no sense of hierarchy,” Seinfeld said in a new interview on the Honestly with Bari Weiss podcast. “And as humans, we don’t really feel comfortable like that.”
“If you want to talk about nostalgia, that is part of what makes that moment attractive looking back,” Seinfeld remarked about the period of his childhood. He fondly described figures from that era,...

The Netflix special roasting NFL great Tom Brady made it onto the streaming charts for the week it premiered — despite it only being up for a few hours of that week.
The Roast of Tom Brady racked up 279 million minutes for the week of April 29-May 5, good for 10th place among original series in Nielsen’s rankings. The special streamed live on May 5, meaning it tallied those viewing minutes in under 12 hours. (With a running time of almost three hours, the 279 million minutes equate to about 1.6 million complete runs of the special.)
Bluey moved back into the top overall spot with 1.18 billion minutes of viewing on Disney+, adding to its total as the most streamed title in the United States so far this year (21.73 billion minutes and counting). Fallout, which had led the previous three weeks, slipped to third overall with 1.08 billion minutes of viewing on Prime Video, while Grey’s Anatomy...

Jerry Seinfeld, the legendary comedian, recently teamed up with the charming and versatile actor Hugh Grant, in their new Netflix film Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story. While the pairing may seem unexpected, much like Seinfeld initially felt after learning about Grant’s interest in the movie, the two eventually delivered a humorous and endearing on-screen chemistry.

But to people’s surprise, the iconic collaboration didn’t actually begin on a happy note. Appearing on The Tonight Show, Jerry Seinfeld noted how he suffered excruciatingly while teaming up with Hugh Grant. Calling the actor difficult to work with on set, Seinfeld later disclosed how they both gradually bonded through the movie, after going out on a dinner together.

Jerry Seinfeld’s latest comments on ‘dominant masculinity’ and ‘sense of hierarchy’ have irked some fans on social media. The comedian’s TV show, Seinfeld, included a plethora of jokes that mocked these topics back in the 1980s and ’90s. However, he shared in a recent podcast interview that he missed real masculinity due to his career as a comedian, which he said was a childish pursuit.

Jerry Seinfeld said he is nostalgic for the “agreed-upon hierarchy” of American culture in the 1960s, adding that he misses “dominant masculinity.”
Seinfeld shared the comments on Tuesday’s episode of the Honestly With Bari Weiss podcast, where he said he feels cultural hierarchy has “absolutely vaporized in today’s moment.”
“That is why people lean on the horn and drive in the crazy way that they drive,” he continued. “Because we have no sense of hierarchy. And as humans, we don’t really feel comfortable like that.”
Seinfeld was speaking in connection to his recent Netflix film (and feature-length directorial debut) Unfrosted, which tells the fictionalized origin story of the Pop-Tart and takes place in Michigan in the ’60s. During their conversation, Weiss told the comedian she felt the film represented a nostalgia for “a sense of one conversation, a common culture.”

Jerry Seinfeld got nostalgic in a recent interview and says he misses “dominant masculinity.”
In a sit down with Bari Weiss for The Free Press’s podcast Honestly, Seinfeld reminisced about growing up and wanting to become “a real man,” joking that he never “made it.”
“I really thought when I was in that era, again, it was [John F. Kennedy], it was Muhammad Ali, it was Sean Connery, Howard Cosell, you can go all the way down there. That’s a real man,” he said.
Seinfeld said he grew up admiring these figures, but as a comedian, he didn’t become that because it is a “childish pursuit.”
He continued, “But I miss a dominant masculinity. Yeah, I get the toxic thing. Thank you, thank you. But still, I like a real man.”
The topic arose after Weiss discussed watching Seinfeld’s Netflix movie Unfrosted, set in the 60s.

Jerry Seinfeld appeared on the “Honestly With Bari Weiss” podcast and said he’s always found his bad reviews to be funny. The comedian recently released his first feature directorial effort, the Pop-Tart movie “Unfrosted,” on Netflix to largely negative critical reviews. “Unfrosted” boasts a weak 43% on Rotten Tomatoes from 120 reviews. But Seinfeld appears to be unbothered by the critical reception, as he never intended to make something that would be liked by everyone anyway.
“The only thing I want to read are the absolute worst reviews the movie received because there is nothing funnier to me than people complaining that [they] didn’t laugh,” Seinfeld said. “They want to laugh. I related to it. I get it. I think it’s funny that you hated it because you wanted to laugh and you didn’t laugh.”
“It’s funny! It doesn’t matter what you think of me,” Seinfeld continued.

Michael Richards, known for his role as Cosmo Kramer on the iconic sitcom Seinfeld, opened up about his health battle and journey of self-reflection in his forthcoming memoir, Entrances and Exits.
Richards, 74, revealed that he was diagnosed with stage 1 prostate cancer in 2018. “I thought, well, this is my time. I’m ready to go,” Richards told People. “Then my son came to mind just a few seconds later, and I heard myself saying, ‘I’ve got a 9-year-old, and I’d like to be around for him. Is there any way I can get a little more life going?'”
The actor ultimately underwent a full prostate removal surgery to contain the cancer.

It’s been nearly 18 years since Michael Richards, best known for playing Kramer in Seinfeld, had a very controversial outburst that basically cost him his career. He has been out of the spotlight since then, but the actor has recently appeared at the premiere of his colleague’s movie Unfrosted, which was not that well received by either the critics or the audiences, but Richards came to support Jerry Seinfeld. This was a rare public appearance by the former star and, of course, the media used the opportunity to talk to the actor, especially about the 2006 incident.
The incident we are talking about, if you don’t remember, happened during a stand-up show in Los Angeles, when some Black members of the audience supposedly reacted in a way that Richards did not like. The actor then had an aggressive and highly controversial outburst, saying the following:
