When the heat is on, it helps to keep a cool head. In an emergency situation, first responders must keep it together and rely on their training to help those in need. However, that doesn’t mean first responders don’t need help themselves.
Creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk explore the pressures faced by today’s first responders in “9-1-1,” airing Wednesday, Jan. 10, on Fox. Set in Los Angeles, the procedural drama follows cops, paramedics and other professionals as they are thrust into frightening and shocking situations.
Casting for the series caused a buzz in the television industry because of the caliber of its stars.
Academy Award nominee Angela Bassett (“What’s Love Got to Do With It,” 1993) headlines the series as police officer Athena Grant, and Emmy nominee Peter Krause (“Six Feet Under”) has also nabbed a prominent role as paramedic Bobby Nash. Emmy nominee and former “Nashville” star Connie Britton costars as a 9-1-1 operator, while supporting cast members include Aisha Hinds (“Underground”) and Rockmond Dunbar (“Prison Break”).
Even with the talented ensemble cast, Murphy and Falchuk have their work cut out for them if they want to do justice to the subject matter. While such professions are unquestionably some of the most
high-pressure jobs in the world, many first responders contend that they’re also the most rewarding, and this new series sheds light on the highs and lows these brave men and women experience every day.
“In those moments when you actually save someone, there’s no better feeling in the world,” Nash says in “9-1-1.”
Bringing those moments to the small screen may be a big challenge, but if there’s currently a team in network television that can pull it off it’s this one. Murphy and Falchuk’s combined credits include Fox’s smash-hit musical series “Glee” and FX’s horror anthology series “American Horror Story.”
“9-1-1” marks the pair’s third straightto-season order for Fox network, and their combined successes in prime time have earned them a lu-
crative development deal with 20th Century Fox Studios. Executive producer Tim Minear has written for various television series, including “The X-Files,” “Angel” and “Firefly,” and also served as an executive producer for “American Horror Story.”
In fact, “9-1-1” features both behind-the-scenes and on-screen talent from “American Horror Story.” Bassett earned an Emmy nomination for her role as voodoo queen Marie Laveau in “American Horror Story: Coven,” the show’s third seaDupree in season 4, entitled Freak Show,” nabbed her noke”). Aside from her top-notch television work, Bassett is best known
It is Cyber Monday. It’s the time of year when you can get a great deal today on something you didn’t want yesterday. What’s my return policy on that joke, by the way?

for her appearances in feature films. She secured her spot as a Hollywood icon with her portrayal of Tina Turner in the biopic “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” for which she won a Golden Globe and earned an Oscar nomination. She’s also famous for her starring turn in the romantic comedy “How Stella Got Her Grove Back” (1998).
Like Bassett, fellow “AHS” alum Britton has been prominently featured in the horror anthology series. She was a part of the show’s inaugural season as Vivien Harmon, a role that earned her an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. She later appeared in Murphy’s “American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson” as Faye Resnick in 2016. In addition to her work with Murphy and Falchuk, the actress has been a part of some of the most popular prime-time series of the modern television era, dating all the way back to 1996 when she was cast in the ABC comedy “Spin City” opposite Michael J. Fox (“Back to the Future,” 1985). Her star continued to rise as she took on roles in “The West Wing” and “24,” but the show that made her a household name was NBC’s “Friday Night Lights.” She was similarly praised for her work on the ABC country music drama “Nashville,” in which she played fading star Rayna Jaymes.
Krause may not be part of the “AHS” club, but he’s no slouch. Early in his acting career, he appeared in such series as “Seinfeld,” “Cybill” and “Sports Night” before his starring role as Nate Fisher in the HBO drama “Six Feet Under” won him critical acclaim. The gig earned him nominations for three Emmys, two Golden Globes and seven Screen Actors Guild Awards, of which he won two SAG Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama series. He’s also well known for his role as Adam Braverman in NBC’s now-defunct comedy-drama “Parenthood.”
As police officers, paramedics and more, these performers bring the triumphs and heartaches of emergency workers to light. Tune in as the first responders struggle with their own demons and strive to help those in need in a new episode of “9-1-1,” airing Wednesday, Jan. 10, on Fox.
Prince Harry has announced his engagement to an actress from Los Angeles. That’s exciting! So congratulations to Prince Harry and his fiancée Betty White.
The other day, President Trump tweeted that he turned down an offer to be Time magazine’s Person of the Year. And that’s not all — today he said he turned down the chance to marry Prince Harry.
According to the chairman of NBC News, [Matt] Lauer was fired due to “inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.” Not to be confused with “appropriate” sexual behavior in the workplace. Because that does not exist.
The New York Times is reporting that Donald Trump is expected to fire his secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, in the coming weeks. Or, as Rex Tillerson is calling it, a Christmas miracle.
Not only is Bono with us tonight — Kristen Bell, Bryan Cranston, DJ Khaled, Rita Wilson, Ashton Kutcher, Sean Diddy Combs are here, along with a number of other surprise guests. It’s like the Justice League. All we’re missing really is a guy who can talk to fish.

There’s an old jokey saying, which I’m sure everyone has heard, about how someone is so bad at cooking that they couldn’t boil water. Well, for 16 Americans in particular, that cliché isn’t so much a joke as it is an everyday reality.
In what’s become a tradition to kick off the new year, “Worst Cooks in America” returns with a new batch of recruits on Sunday, Jan. 7, on Food Network. Just like in past seasons, chef Anne Burrell and another celebrity chef welcome 16 cooking dunces into the kitchen and put them through an intense culinary boot camp.
This season, chef Tyler Florence returns to take on Burrell for a third
time. See, this isn’t just about turning some kitchen disasters into culinary masters: it’s also a competition between the two chefs. In this week’s premiere, the chefs task the fresh-eyed recruits with making their own signature dishes — and the results are less than appetizing, to say the least.
The last two times Florence and Burrell faced off in boot camp, Burrell went home with the bragging rights, and he’s determined to not let that happen again. After seeing what the recruits can do on their own, the mentors decide to get a feel for how well they can listen and follow simple instructions. They demonstrate how to prepare a straightforward breakfast dish, and then they observe as the recruits try — with varying degrees of success
— to make their own versions of the day’s most important meal. After tasting the dishes, the chefs divide the 16 recruits into teams of seven, sending home the two who prepared the worst breakfasts. It’s always sad to see any of the eager-to-learn recruits go, but “Worst Cooks in America” is a cutthroat kind of game. With Burrell and Florence each mentoring their own teams, the stakes are high. Every week, they each send their worst-performing or worst-improved recruit home, until they
each have only a single recruit left for the finale.
The finalists, under the guidance of their mentors, will then have to plan, prepare and execute a threecourse, restaurant-quality meal for a panel of culinary experts. Whoever cooks the winning meal gets $25,000 and earns bragging rights for his or her mentor.
Can chef Tyler Florence finally knock chef Anne Burrell off her culinary throne? “Worst Cooks in America” returns on Sunday, Jan. 7, on Food Network.

Several months after a young boy vanishes during a rain storm, his older brother, Bill (Lieberher), recruits his group of friends to help uncover the truth about the disappearance. With schoolyard bullies picking on them, the friends band together to form “the Losers Club,” and they soon discover that it was a supernatural entity that took Bill’s brother. The creature has been terrorizing their town for centuries, and with all of their lives in grave peril, the members of the Losers Club become determined not to let their terror rule them, and they vow
After his daughter is killed in a bombing for which an IRA splinter group takes credit, retired Vietnam War special-forces-operatorturned-Chinese-restaurant-owner Quan Ngoc Minh (Chan) is devastated. After trying and failing to get information from Scotland Yard about the bombers, the grieving father turns to Liam Hennessy (Brosnan), an IRA-member-turned-politician who claims ignorance regarding the identities of the perpetrators. Unable to believe that Hennessy knows nothing, Quan puts the skills he learned during his time
