Taylor Kinney OF CHICAGO FIRE ON NBC

Nathan Dales in “Letterkenny”

Q: Is it true that Taylor Kinney is coming back to “Chicago Fire”? A: Yes, at least for the start of the NBC drama’s upcoming Season 12, set to start Jan. 17. Presumably, the episodes will deal heavily with Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) having gone to retrieve husband and fellow firefighter Kelly Severide (Kinney), who was absent from Firehouse 51 on a special assignment. While he was away, Matt Casey (Jesse Spencer) returned, and with a big personal matter to take care of … his proposal to paramedic Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer). That opens up another set of questions for the show’s future, since it recently was announced that Killmer will be leaving either during or after the series’ forthcoming season. She has been a big part of the program since Season 3, when she was brought in to play a successor to Lauren German’s Leslie Shay, who died in the line of duty. Brett has been very much at the forefront of many “Chicago Fire” episodes since, with Killmer bringing a big supply of good humor to the role.

Of course, even after any departures of actors and characters that are yet to come, the “Chicago Fire” ensemble cast that has existed up to now can still be seen in repeats that are on display often. Besides being in syndication to local stations, earlier seasons are shown regularly on ION Television and USA Network, both of which also have rights to the Dick Wolf-produced sister series “Chicago P.D.”.

Jalen Hurts and Eagles host the Giants for a Christmas Day matchup

Looking to continue a season of excellence and hoping to keep the Christmas spirits high, the Philadelphia Eagles get set to host struggling division rivals New York Giants Monday Dec. 25 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia with all the action broadcast live on Fox. The last time Philadelphia faced New York in a regular season matchup, the Eagles walked away with a 22-16 victory (Jan. 8, 2023), in what was a key victory for the Eagles. Star quarterback Jalen Hurts led the way, helpng secure the number one spot in the NFC East throwing for 229 yards, all after being sidelined with a shoulder injury weeks prior. Coming into the 2023 season fully healed, Jalen Hurts hasn’t skipped a beat throwing for 557 yards and five touchdowns in November. This performance made the Eagles the first team in NFL history to start 10-1 or better in back-to-back seasons since the 2005-06 Indianapolis Colts. Having yet another MVP season, Hurts also made history by becoming the first quaterback ever to have 10 rushing touchdowns in three straight seasons. Meanwhile for the Giants, it’s been a season to forget as they rank last in the NFL in yards per game (258.7) and rank top 10 in turnover ratio with 12 interceptions. Adding salt to the wound, the Danial Jones injury woes have not made things easier after the Giants signed him to a four-year, $160 million deal in the off-season, only to see him tear his ACL in what turned out to be a season-ending injury in only Jones’ fifth season. After falling short to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in last years playoffs, the Philadelphia Eagles are hungry to get back into the Super Bowl after proving yet again this season they have what it takes. But first, they’ll have to face a New York Giants team that will surely look to stop Hurts and the Eagles from finding any sort of comfort. Don’t miss any of your NFL on Christmas Day action as the New York Giants head to Philadelphia to take on the league leading Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field Monday Dec. 25 with all the action airing live on Fox. Full name: Jalen Alexander Hurts Birthdate: Aug. 7, 1998 (25) Birthplace: Houston, Texas, U.S.

‘Gettin’ at ‘er’ one last time: ‘Letterkenny’ gifts fans final season

Jared Keeso in “Letterkenny”

BY DANA SIMPSON

After nearly eight years, 12 seasons, 75 episodes and eight specials, Canadian premium network Crave’s first-ever original series is calling it quits, bud. “Letterkenny,” created by the series’ leading star, Jared Keeso (“Elysium,” 2013), has made the tough decision to pack up the Puppers following its 12th season, thus passing the torch to its hockey-driven spinoff series, Shoresy (also available on Hulu). Don’t miss the dry double talk, loaded innuendo and small-town Canadian drama when “Letterkenny” premieres its final season Tuesday, Dec. 26, on Hulu. Keeso’s award-winning series was inspired by his own life growing up in the small town of Listowel, Ontario, and emerged from his own Twitter (now X) feed, titled “Listowel Problems.” In a 2016 interview, the creator and actor told the Toronto Star, “What we do on ‘Letterkenny’ is we just take the portrait of small-town life and exaggerate and embellish the [expletive] out of it.” The fictional town of Letterkenny, whose inhabitants “belong to one of three groups: the hicks, the skids and the hockey players” (per Hulu), has become a staple TV visit for many households — even the country town of Listowel has seen a bit of tourism since the show began in 2016. Now adorned with 12 Canadian Screen Awards, “Letterkenny” prepares to take its final bow and leave the laughs up to its spinoff, “Shoresy,” which also stars Keeso. Joining Keeso, who returns to his role as Wayne (and possibly in another cameo as Shoresy if fans are lucky), are fellow regulars Michelle Mylett (“El Camino Christmas,” 2017) as Katy, Nathan Dales (“Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City,” 2021) as Daryl and K. Trevor Wilson (“Mr.

web links A down-on-his-luck banker named George Bailey (James Stewart) wishes he’d never been born – that is, until George’s guardian angel, Clarence (Henry Travers), shows him what the world would be like if he had never existed, prompting the man to see all the good in his life. From director Frank Capra, “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946) airs Sunday, Dec. 24, on NBC. A trailer for this beloved classic film can be found at youtube.com/ watch?v=iLR3gZrU2Xo

If all you wanted for Christmas was two hours of Mariah Carey singing her heart out, you just might get your wish: Singer songwriter and global sensation Mariah Carey performs a repertoire of her festive holiday hits, including the up-beat “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” during “Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas to All!,” a special presentation airing Monday, Dec. 25, on CBS.

Viral,” 2012) as Dan. Also likely to return (but still unconfirmed as of writing) are Andrew Herr (“Upload”) as Jonesy, Evan Stern (“The Void,” 2016) as Roald, Dylan Playfair (“Mr. Hockey: The Gordie Howe Story,” 2013) as Reilly and Tyler Johnston (“The Odds,” 2011) as Stewart. But as this is the series finale, it’s hard to say which characters will return to bid farewell to viewers. While “Letterkenny” typically takes a quick-witted approach to slow-paced life events, it seems the writers have a lot cooked up for the final season. According to the official Hulu news release, there will be lots of laughs in order as the local nightlife kicks into high gear. “In Season 12, the small town contends with a comedy night at Modean’s, a country music hit, the Degens’ bad influence, a new nightclub, and an encore at the Ag Hall,” the writeup reads. “And that’s just for starters.” The final season of “Letterkenny” is, as usual, headed up by Keeso and his creative partner, Jacob Tierney (“Laurence Anyways,” 2012), who also works on “Shorsey” both behind the scenes and onscreen (he stars as the show’s more uppity recurring character, Glen, a character he has played in 42 episodes of the pair’s flagship series, as of writing). As for the decision to end the show after more than 80 installments, Keeso says, “I think we’ve done everything that we can do on that show.” “I’m always looking for something new and exciting to do with the characters, a new opportunity to develop them, to help the audience understand them just a little bit better,” Keeso added in the Crave news release. “It gets tough around the 50 mark, and it gets really tough around the 70 mark. I guess I decided at the 80 mark that that was it.”

What the chefs know — or don’t know — about uni (sea urchin) will make all the difference as they open their mystery boxes during the appetizer round.Then, a simple soup becomes a complex puzzle in the entrée round, and a corn cake stars during dessert. The competition jumps from cornfield to coral reef, as an all-new episode of “Chopped” airs Tuesday, Dec. 26, on Food Network.

Carl Weathers

“Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade” (Dec. 26)

Disney’s annual Christmas celebration returns Christmas morning with endearing stories and magical celebrity performances, plus the Christmas Day Parade celebrates its 40th year. The holiday special is executive produced by Disney Parks Programming along with Film 45 Live.

OF CHICAGO JUSTICE ON NBC

Q: Is Carl Weathers still acting? Where can I see him? A: After a long and hugely successful career, Carl Weathers (“Rocky,” 1976) gets to be pretty choosy with his parts. But when the Star Wars franchise calls, even Carl Weathers picks up the phone. He’s been leaning away from acting for the past few years, just picking up small parts here and there, basically since 2017, when he starred as state’s attorney Mark Jefferies in the short-lived series “Chicago Justice” (one of the less-successful entries in the “One Chicago” universe). But when he was offered the role of Greef Karga, head of the Nevarro Bounty Hunters Guild in Disney’s high-profile “Star Wars” spinoff series “The Mandalorian,” it seems he couldn’t pass it up. He has recurred in the role ever since, including in the most recent episode — the third-season finale — released earlier this year on Disney+. Weathers is, of course, a franchise guy. He was a pillar of the Rocky boxing films, channeling the great Muhammad Ali for his role as antagonist-turned-hero Apollo Creed. He also starred in the first “Predator” film (1987), which kicked off a series that goes on to this day (though without Weathers’ character, who [spoiler alert] died in the first film). 10
