Truth Lutheran Church

With so many people noff, including an ominous premise, gruesome special effects and a talented cast. Emmy winner Julia Ormond (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” 2008) leads as charismatic community leader Elizabeth. “The Walking Dead: World Beyond” co-creator Scott M. Gimple had high praise for the actress when her casting was announced in November.

“We are thrilled to have Julia join our merry band,” Gimple said in a Variety article. “I’m grateful for the talent, grace, intelligence and humor she has brought to our set, our show and to this role.”

In 2010, Ormond won an Emmy for her role in HBO’s movie “Temple Grandin,” and she was nominated for another Emmy two years later for her guest-starring turn on “Mad Men.” Her other career highlights include the 1994 silver screen epic “Legends of the Fall” and the 1995 remake of “Sabrina.” But while Ormond may be the most famous of the bunch, the show’s focus is squarely on its young stars. Royale portrays intelligent, strong-willed teenager Iris, who leads the charge into the unknown. After performing in church, school and community plays, Royale landed the leading role of Jira Calder-Brennan on the CBS drama “The Red Line” opposite Noah Wyle (“ER”).

Mansour, who plays Iris’s disillusioned wild-child sister Hope, has appeared in the films “Unfriended: Dark Web” (2018) and “#SquadGoals” (2018) and will soon be seen in the indie feature “She’s in Portland.” TV fans may recognize her from her memorable recurring role as Faiza on ABC’s hugely popular “How to Get Away With Murder.” Mansour’s other small-screen credits include “SEAL Team,” “Bull” and “Madam Secretary.”

Nicolas Cantu (“Sofia the First”) portrays 15-year-old Elton, a thoughtful, intellectually curious orphan of the apocalypse who is eager to continue the work of his scientist parents. Cantu may be young, but he’s been acting for years. His voice work credits include “The Amazing World of Gumball” and “Dragons: Rescue Riders” On television, he’s appeared in such popular shows as “The Unicorn,” “The Good Place” and “Raven’s Home.”

Bernie Sanders is now refusing to release his full medical record. The senator defended himself. He said, “It’s not my fault no one took records during the bubonic plague! They didn’t have much record-keeping at the time.”

A Little Late With Lilly Singh

Now, I don’t agree with this, but traditionally you go on a first date with a guy, and he picks up the tab. With two girls, you’re both just sitting there forever waiting for the other person to pay. Eventually, it’s just two skeletons in nice dresses sitting at the Olive Garden.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

A guy in California who went to jail for pretending to be a doctor got his medical license in the Caribbean and is now an actual doctor here in the U.S. His patient was like, “Not the best story to tell during my prostate exam, but good for you!”

President Trump promised that, if he’s re-elected, he’ll build 500 miles of border wall. And if he’s not re-elected, he’ll just draw a wall with a Sharpie.

I saw one of the hot new trends this year are tiny purses. They’re perfect if you only want to carry one Altoid. It’s tiny, but somehow it still takes you 10 minutes to find your keys.

The Late Show With Stephen Colbert

I would say the president is starting to unravel, but that would imply he was “raveled” in the first place.

The fact that he’s a bad criminal doesn’t make it not a crime. If being bad at something makes you not that thing, then Trump is not a business owner or a husband.
