Rhodes headlines WWE’s return to NBC Saturday nights
After nearly 15 years on the shelf, WWE’s Saturday night obsession makes its triumphant return to NBC. Broadcasting live from Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York — the site of the very first WWE and NBC supershow in May 1985 — Saturday, Dec. 14, “WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event” brings the hard-hitting action of WWE’s weekly shows to prime time on NBC and Peacock.
Considering “Saturday Night’s Main Event” is the first of many quarterly prime-time specials to air on NBC and Peacock over the next five years, WWE is packing the show with top talent such as Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, and major matches such as the finals of the Women’s U.S. Championship Tournament. Taking top billing for the show is current Undisputed WWE Champion Cody
Height/weight:
Rhodes, who is currently engaged in a heated feud with former ally Kevin Owens.
2024 has been a major year for the son of late wrestling legend Dusty Rhodes. After winning the Royal Rumble for the second consecutive year, Rhodes made his way to the main event of WrestleMania XL to finish his two-year-long story by ending Roman Reign’s 1,316-day reign and claiming the Undisputed WWE Championship for himself. Since winning the belt in April, Rhodes has defended the top prize in WWE against all-comers, including AJ Styles, Solo Sikoa and Logan Paul.
Despite already defending the title against Kevin Owens back at WWE’s Bash in Berlin premium live event, Owens has forced his way back into title contention following a backstage attack on Rhodes at Bad Blood and his injuring of Rhodes’ mentor Randy Orton a few weeks ago. As emotions boil over, expect an intense match when these two clash for the Undisputed WWE Championship once again.

Stranger than fiction: Author’s complicated relationship with creation unpacked in ‘Holmes vs. Doyle’
Fictional detective Sherlock Holmes has undoubtedly had an impact on the readers of the world (and in the realms of fashion and home decor, too, it would seem), but perhaps no one has been more affected by the sleuth than his own author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
In the new, three-part docuseries “Lucy Worsley’s Holmes vs. Doyle,” the titular television host does some investigating of her own, uncovering how the lives of the man and his most popular creation came to echo one another in an uncanny harmony, often to the author’s detriment. The series begins Sunday, Dec. 8, on PBS, and airs hour-long episodes weekly until its Dec. 22 finale.
Throughout his 137 years on the page, Sherlock Holmes has solved 60 separate cases across 56 short stories and four novels, but the biggest mystery of them all has been lying just beneath the surface of the fiction. For years, it appeared that Doyle — a private detective in his own right — despised his most prized creation, but why he grew to dislike the fictional character was never quite clear ... until now.
In the first episode of PBS’s “Holmes vs. Doyle,” Worsley travels back in time to the
British author’s not-so-humble beginnings as a medical student in the lowland Scottish city of Edinburgh before diving into the cultural movements of the Victorian era in what is now the United Kingdom.
“In Episode 1, ‘Doctor and Detective’ (Dec. 8), [Worsley] ... unpacks the early stories, revealing the dark underbelly of late Victorian Britain, from drug use to true crime,” the official PBS news release reads. “She explores how Doyle infused his stories with cutting-edge technological developments and traces the author’s growing disenchantment with his detective, heading to Switzerland to visit the site of one of the most famous deaths in literature.”
Moving through Doyle’s life and ever-growing oeuvre, Episode 2, titled “Fact and Fiction” (Dec. 15), is heavily based upon the writer’s decision to kill off his beloved case cracker in his 1893 work “The Final Problem,” set two years earlier, in 1891.
“[Worsley] explores Doyle’s desire to distance himself from Sherlock after the detective’s apparent death at the Reichenbach Falls,” the description reads. “From the delights of the ski slopes to the horrors of the Boer War, she reveals how far Doyle went to make himself the hero of his own story. He even took on the role of detective himself in one of the most important legal cases of the 20th century.” By the time viewers arrive at the conclusion of the PBS docuseries, Worsley investigates the parallel timelines of both author and authored. By analyzing Doyle’s decision to bring his most iconic character back from the dead, the presenter illustrates where Doyle’s and Holmes’ personalities, decisions and life events began to converge before dovetailing, ultimately resulting in the character eclipsing the now-aging crime novelist.

Q: Is the Jill Wagner who’s on the series “Lioness” the same Jill Wagner who used to be a co-host of “Wipeout”?
A: She is. Jill Wagner also co-created (with “Yellowstone’s” Taylor Sheridan) and is an executive producer of “Lioness,” the military-espionage drama that’s wrapping up its second season on Paramount+. She has given herself a distinctive acting role in the show as well as Bobby, the tough-talking leader of a unit within the terrorism-fighting Lioness program — and Wagner likely used her father, a U.S. Marines veteran, at least partially as a model for the character.
At the time Wagner landed her “Wipeout” job on the original ABC incarnation of the game show, as a field reporter who interacted directly with contestants on the series’ obstacle course, she was launching an acting career that included roles in Spike TV’s “Blade; The Series” and Fox’s “Bones.” She stayed with “Wipeout” for four seasons (2008-11) before deciding to leave and focus on acting exclusively again, which she did in part by joining MTV’s “Teen Wolf.” But, a year later, she returned to “Wipeout” (where she had been succeeded by Vanessa Minnillo, later known as Vanessa Lachey of CBS and Paramount+’s “NCIS: Hawai’i”) and stayed until “Wipeout’s” ABC tenure ended in 2014.
Otherwise, Wagner’s main calling card has been as an actress, and she did a considerable amount of work for Hallmark (including the Mystery 101 series of movies that ran on the then-named Hallmark Movies & Mysteries). While many of her films are repeated on the Hallmark channels frequently, she has moved over to Great American Family; her latest movie there is this holiday season’s “Christmas Under the Northern Lights.” She also has a special on that channel, “Christmas on the Farm With Jill Wagner & Family,” slated for Dec. 23.

Dan Aykroyd
OF “INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM” ON PARAMOUNT PICTURES
Q: My husband doesn’t believe me that Dan Aykroyd was in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” It doesn’t show up on his IMDb page but I know it’s him. Also, what’s he doing now?
A: That is indeed the great Canadian comedian Dan Aykroyd (“Ghostbusters,” 1984) appearing — very briefly — as a British Army officer in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” (also 1984).
He arranges an escape flight for Jones (Harrison Ford, also famed for the Star Wars franchise) and his companions Willie (Kate Capshaw, “Black Rain,” 1989) and Short Round (Ke Huy Quan, “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” 2022) on a cargo flight full of live chickens.
Aykroyd said in a recent interview with AVClub.com that he knew “Temple
of Doom” director Steven Spielberg already and said he just cold-called him and “begged” for a part. “I said, ‘I’d love to work in this movie. Anything I can do.’ Just because I love those guys and I love the franchise. And they brought me on, good sports that they were.”
As for what he’s doing now, as one of the most bankable stars of the 1980s, Aykroyd has been benefiting from Hollywood’s current obsession with “established intellectual property” — that is, reboots and late sequels to previous hits.
He’s appeared in and executive produced three new “Ghostbusters” movies since 2016 — most recently this year’s “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.” He also reportedly has a new “Blues Brothers” TV series in the works.

Daniel Roebuck
Q: Is there any chance that the actor who played Cliff on the original “Matlock” will return on the reboot? I always liked his character.
A: On TV anything’s possible, but in the cast of CBS’s new “Matlock” reboot, an appearance by actor Daniel Roebuck (“Crust,” 2024) would be tricky, at least. And a revival of his character, private investigator Cliff Lewis, would be pretty close to impossible.
That’s because the new version of “Matlock,” starring Kathy Bates (“Misery,” 1990) in the title role, isn’t actually a continuation of the story. In this show, Bates’ character calls herself Matty Matlock as a reference to the original show — her character watched the show and used it as inspiration.
This is where it gets really complicated, because that means Roebuck’s character, Cliff, is a fictional character within the world of this new series.
Of course, there’s still the possibility of Roebuck returning to play himself. However, it seems there’s been no discussion of that.
That could be because he’s just too busy. He is either currently working on or attached to a whopping 29 different films and TV shows, and he has 12 completed entries on his resume from 2024 alone.
For example, he did a two-episode arc on “NCIS: Origins,” and revived his recurring guest role on “9-1-1.” More surprisingly, he also had a role in the horror film “Terrifier 3,” which grabbed headlines for the extremity of its violence.

The bottom line: Stars share personal experiences with cancer during special
Anthony Anderson (“Black-ish”) and his famous friends “bare all for prostate, testicular and colorectal cancer testing and research” (per Fox), during “The Real Full Monty,” a twohour event airing Monday, Dec. 9, on Fox.
Taking its title from the award-winning 1997 film “The Full Monty,” this star-studded special sees Anderson joining some of Hollywood’s leading men — including Taye Diggs (“All American”), Kansas City Chiefs player Chris Jones, Tyler Posey (“Teen Wolf”), Bruno Tonioli (“Dancing With the Stars”) and James Van Der Beek (“Varsity Blues,” 1999) — as they “train and rehearse for the most revealing performance of their careers, culminating with a big strip-tease dance, choreographed by Emmy Award winner Mandy Moore (Choreographer for ‘So You Think you Can Dance,’ ‘La La Land’ and Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour), where they will bare all in front of a live audience,” says Fox.
Fans will also catch a glimpse of the weeks leading up to this performance, in which the stars “test their modesty and strengthen their bond with a series of rehearsals and experiences, both private and public, designed to build confidence and remove them far from their comfort zone,” according to the network.
Throughout the special, each of the men
will also share personal stories of how cancer has impacted their lives. One celebrity in particular — Van Der Beek, 47 — is likely to touch on his current battle with Stage 3 colorectal cancer, a diagnosis he shared with fans in early November.
Eager to raise awareness of the disease — now the leading cause of cancer deaths in men under 50, according to the American Cancer Society — Van Der Beek spoke with People, sharing: “I’d always associated cancer with age and with unhealthy, sedentary lifestyles. But I was in amazing cardiovascular shape. I tried to eat healthy — or as far as I knew it at the time.”
