Late

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

There’s a new smart device called Companion that babysits your dog by entertaining it, feeding it and monitoring its health. Yep. There’s also a cheaper option. It’s called not having a dog.

I heard that next month Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis

plans to launch his 2024 presidential campaign. Which makes sense because, already, his campaign slogan is, “Mayday, mayday.” Yeah, DeSantis is having a tough time. It’s hard to say you’d work well with other countries when you can’t even get along with Epcot.

This weekend is the annual White House

Correspondents’ Dinner. It’s the black tie event attended by the president, celebrities and journalists, and I’m hearing that Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon are expected to be there. ... As waiters. Yeah, President Biden will get up and tell jokes. It’s fun because it’s the one night a year Biden gets laughs on purpose.

Earlier tonight [April 26], the Bidens hosted the president of South Korea and his wife for a state dinner at the White House. Yeah, Biden wanted to meet with the most powerful people in South Korea, but BTS was busy.

Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Well, kids, what the former president of the United States said about me and Stephen Colbert and all the

late-night hosts, I guess, is this: “These Losers are dying, they are bad for our Country, which is in serious decline. Nobody wants to watch this negativity anymore. There’s nothing funny about them. They’re highly overpaid, easily replaceable fools!” And yet, unlike you, we still have our jobs.

We’re getting more details about Tucker Carlson’s ouster from Fox News. Tucker was reportedly blindsided by this. He had no idea why he got fired. Although I have some ideas. I have, like, about 778 million ideas of why.

Late Night With Seth Meyers

Fox News announced today [April 24] that it has parted ways with host Tucker Carlson, and last Friday was his final show, which is great but also unsettling. At least when he had a show, we knew where he was. It’s creepy trying to fall asleep with a ventriloquist dummy in your room, but it’s way creepier when you wake up and it’s not there anymore.

A source recently told “People” magazine that former president Trump respects and admires former first lady Melania Trump and wants to make her happy. But he plans to stay married to her anyway.

The Late Late Show

With James Corden

President Biden is set to announce his re-election campaign tomorrow [April 25] on the four-year anniversary of when he declared his candidacy for 2020, and the country responded with a, “... Yay.”

According to a new survey, 51% of Democrats say that Biden shouldn’t seek a second term. That’s a bad sign. Fifty-one percent of Democrats can’t even agree on which milk alternative they want in their flat white.

Some sad news to report. Bed, Bath & Beyond has now filed for bankruptcy and will soon close all of its doors. ... I know what you’re thinking: it’s just got a little more difficult to buy a Christmas gift for your brother’s wife.

In honor of his upcoming coronation, a life-sized bust of King Charles has been made using 37 and a half pounds of chocolate. ... The bust of King Charles looks delicious, but ... you should really stay away from the Cadbury Creme Prince Andrew.

A bunch of glue spilled on a Michigan highway ... A truck overturned. Don’t worry, no injuries were reported, but the road was unusable for almost 24 hours. Talk about being stuck in traffic!

“Selling Sunset” - Season 6

The hustle to be the best and brightest in California’s luxury real estate market continues when Season 6 of the smash-hit reality series “Selling Sunset” premieres on Netflix Friday, May 19. With new agents, new drama and even more ultra-luxurious properties, this new season promises to come back in with a bang as the crew from The Oppenheim Group bring all of their personal and professional drama to the small screen. As owners and twin brothers Jason and Brett Oppenheim work to stay at the top of L.A.’s high-end real estate world, real estate agents Chrishell Stause, Heather El Moussa, Davina Potratz, Mary Fitzgerald, Chelsea Lazkani, Emma Hernan and Amanza Smith return to the screen as they balance their cutthroat work lives with new relationships, expanding families and (as always) a wealth of personal drama. And while series regulars Christine Quinn, Maya Vander and Vanessa Villa will not be returning to the cast for the new season, audiences will be treated to the arrival of Bre Tiesi and Nicole Young for Season 6. The series comes from executive producer Adam DiVello, known for his work on fellow dramapacked reality shows “The Hills” and “Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County.”

“Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me” (2023)

What’s really in a name? Uncover the story of model and actress Anna Nicole Smith in the unflinching new documentary “Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me” when it premieres on Netflix Tuesday, May 16. Examining the life, death and secrets of Vickie Lynn Hogan, better known as Anna Nicole Smith, this film takes a humanizing look at the famed Playboy and Guess jeans model from the perspective of those who knew her best. From her first appearance as a model in Playboy magazine in 1992 to her untimely death in 2007, Smith’s life was a whirlwind exemplification of the American dream. “You Don’t Know Me,” which features never-before-seen footage, home movies and interviews with key figures who have not spoken out until now, “reveals new insights into the story of the quintessential blonde bombshell hardly anyone really knew” (per Netflix). Directed by Urusula Macfarlane (“Untouchable,” 2019), “Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me” is executive produced by Caryn Capotosto (“Won’t You Be My Neighbor?,” 2018), Ami Manning (“Paris Hilton’s My New BFF”), Suzanne Migdall (“South Beach Academy,” 1995), Howard Owens (“30 Days”), Ben Silverman (“The Office”) and Luna Wise (“By the Pool,” 2018).

“White Men Can’t Jump” (2023)

Come together to win it all with the modern remake of the hit 1992 sports comedy “White Men Can’t Jump” when the new Hulu Original film premieres Friday, May 19, on the streamer. While the 1992 film starred Woody Harrelson (“True Detective”) and Wesley Snipes (“Blade,” 1998) as the original streetball hustlers, this new iteration stars multi-platinum rap superstar Jack Harlow (“First Class”) in his film debut, alongside “American Soul,” “Power” and “Teen Wolf” star Sinqua Walls as Jeremy and Kamal. While Jeremy is a former basketball star whose career was stalled by injuries, Kamal is a once-promising player who derailed his own future in the sport. As the pair of hustlers take on the Los Angeles courts, the two — seemingly completely opposite — men learn they may have more in common than they could have ever imagined.

From 20th Century Studios, “White Men Can’t Jump” is directed by Calmatic (“House Party,” 2023), written by Kenya Barris and Doug Hall (both of “Black-ish”) and based on the original story by Ron Shelton (“Bull Durham,” 1988). Teyana Taylor (“Coming 2 America,” 2021), Lance Reddick (“John Wick,” 2014), Laura Harrier (“Spider-Man: Homecoming,” 2017), Myles Bullock (“BMF”), Vince Staples (“Abbott Elementary”), Zak Steiner (“Euphoria”), Andrew Schulz (“You People,” 2023) and J. Alphonso Nicholson (“P-Valley”) also star.

“Queenmaker: The Making of an It Girl” (2023)

Unmask the work of New York’s elite with Hulu’s new original documentary “Queenmaker: The Making of an It Girl” when it premieres Wednesday, May 17. Offering a fascinating look into the world of Manhattan’s wealthiest inhabitants and the now-defunct “Park Avenue Peerage” blog that took New York City by storm, “Queenmaker” looks at the height of the city’s “heiress era” of the early aughts. As an anonymous blogger infiltrated Manhattan’s elite, bringing socialite celebrity statuses to new heights with their salacious insights, the true identity of the website’s creator and mastermind was not who anybody would have ever expected. From director Zackary Drucker (“The Stroll,” 2023), the documentary is executive produced by Scott Kaplan (“Stable Wars”) and produced by Emmet McDermott (“White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch,” 2022).

“Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” (2023)

After taking the big screen by storm in February, this tiny superhero shrinks his way to the small screen when “Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” releases to stream, Wednesday, May 17, on Disney+. This third movie in the Ant-Man franchise marks the official launch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Phase 5,” with the end of “Phase 4” being 2022’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” The sequel continues in a world post-Thanos-snap and post-snap-reversal, in which Scott Lang (Paul Rudd, “I Love You, Man,” 2009) has been reunited with his daughter, Cassie (Kathryn Newton, “Big Little Lies,” replacing Emma Fuhrmann from “Avengers: Endgame,” 2019), and his partner, Hope Van Dyne, aka: The Wasp (Evangeline Lilly, “South of Heaven,” 2021). This time, the family are joined by Hope’s parents – Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas, “Fatal Attraction,” 1987) and Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer, “The First Lady”) – as they explore the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange and unfamiliar creatures, as they embark on an adventure that “will push them beyond the limits of what they thought was possible” (per Disney). Directed by Peyton Reed (of both “Ant-Man,” 2015, and “Ant-Man and The Wasp,” 2018), the film also stars Jonathan Majors (“Creed III,” 2023) as Kang and Bill Murray (“Lost in Translation,” 2003) as Lord Krylar.

“Primo” - Season 1

Catch a slice of Texan life in the new Freevee original series “Primo,” premiering on Prime Video Friday, May 19. From creator Shea Serrano (“Hip Hop: The Songs That Shook America”), “Primo” is a single-camera coming-of-age comedy inspired by Serrano’s own experiences growing up in San Antonio. The series follows teenager Rafa Gonzales (Ignacio Diaz-Silverio, “A Good Person,” 2023), who is being raised in the city by his mother, Drea (Christina Vidal, “The Terminal List”), and his five overbearing uncles — Rollie (Johnny Rey Diaz, “Grey’s Anatomy”), Mike (Henri Esteve, “Grownish”), Ryan (Carlos Santos, “Gentefied”), Jay (Jonathan Medina, “Walker: Independence”) and Mondo (Efrain Villa, “Better Call Saul”). As Rafa nears the end of high school, finds the girl of his dreams and works on his very real chance to be the first person in his family to go to college, “Primo” finds Rafa, his family, his friends (and his crush) affecting each other’s lives in unexpected ways, helping them all to grow whether they like it or not. Executive produced by Serrano, Michael Schur (“Parks and Recreation”), David Miner (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”), Morgan Sackett (“The Good Place”), Peter Murrieta (“Wizards of Waverly Place”) and Lisa Muse Bryant (“Black-ish”), the series also stars relative newcomer Stakiah Lynn Washington, Martin Martinez (“Magnum P.I.”), Nigel Siwabessy (“Stop the Bleeding!”), Adela Paez (“9-1-1”), Mimi Fletcher (“Waco: The Aftermath”), Melinna Bobadilla (“Orange is the New Black”) and Bobby Daniel Rodriguez (“SEAL Team”).
