Still making music: Barry Manilow celebrates the holidays on NBC While we may already be in the season for celebration, any occasion showcasing Barry Manilow is a holiday for his generations of fans. A winner of a Grammy, two Primetime Emmys and a special Tony Award, the enduringly popular singer-songwriter has released seasonal albums over the course of his nearly 50 years as a star, and some of those tunes will factor in — along with many of his pop standards, from “Mandy” to “Copacabana” — when “Barry Manilow’s A Very Barry Christmas,” airs Monday, Dec. 11, on NBC. (The special also will stream on Peacock starting the next day.) Taped at the International Showroom of the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino (which was formerly the Las Vegas Hilton), where Manilow has broken Elvis Presley’s record for doing the most shows at the venue during his 14-year association there, the hour will also include such seasonal favorites as “Jingle Bells” and “White Christmas.” A 24-piece band backs Manilow during his Vegas performances, one of which was attended by network executives — setting the
Barry Manilow in “Barry Manilow’s A Very Barry Christmas”
stage, both figuratively and literally, for the new special. “A whole bunch of NBC people came to see the regular show I do at the Westgate, and they were interested in filming that,” the genial Manilow explains. “During the conversation after the show, they said they were looking for Christmas stuff because they couldn’t create anything until after the writers’ strike, which was going on then. I said, ‘I’ve got a Christmas show.’ They said, ‘You do?’ And I said, ‘Yeah. And it’s all ready to go, if you want it.’ “We do it in various places every year,” notes Manilow, “and I sent them a video of it, and they loved what they saw. They came to the Westgate with their cameras, we had a big audience, and off we went. The only problem was me, because I kept forgetting to do certain things, but they made the show even more beautiful than it was before. There were many more lights and more Christmas trees, and it was just gorgeous.” Manilow has a long-standing affinity for the holiday season. “I love my Christmas albums,” he maintains of “Because It’s Christmas,” “A Christmas Gift of Love” and “In the Swing of Christmas.” “I loved doing them. I don’t listen to my albums, but now and again, if I’m going to listen to any of them, it’s those. I love the arrangements and the orchestrations and the songs that I chose. I’m very proud of those Christmas albums.” Still, Manilow realizes that his fans also want his time-tested hits. That catalog encompasses such standards as “I Write the Songs,” “Could It Be Magic,” “Looks Like We Made It,” “Tryin’ to Get the Feeling,” “Can’t Smile Without You,” “Weekend in New England,” “This One’s for You,” “Even Now,” “Daybreak” and “New York City Rhythm.”
Buddy Valastro makes his acting debut in this new film, performing alongside Tia Mowry, who stars as culinary school instructor Alicia Geller. When Gellar is invited to participate in a holiday cook off, she utilizes the help of a fiery mentor (Luke Humphrey) to prove herself capable. Things gets spicy when “Yes, Chef! Christmas” premieres, Sunday, Dec. 10, on Lifetime.

David Duchovny OF THE X-FILES ON COMET Q: It’s been interesting to see David Duchovny back in the public eye for the movie he made with Meg Ryan. How long was he on “The X-Files”?
A: The actor’s run as FBI Agent Fox Mulder began in 1993, and he has said that he didn’t expect the Fox series (now repeating on Comet) to last as long as it did, nor to be as popular as it became. His regular weekly run on the show went through the seventh season, when headlines were made by a lawsuit Duchovny filed against 20th Century Fox Television, alleging that it sold rights to repeats of the show to Fox-affiliated stations for less than they were worth … thus costing him some profits.
PUZZLE SOLUTIONS
The suit was settled, but Duchovny’s contract for the show was up, so he left as a full-time cast member (with Robert Patrick assuming the role of a Mulder surrogate, John Doggett). However, Duchovny returned for part of the eighth season, with the explanation that Mulder had been abducted by aliens. He also came back for the presumed series finale in Season 9, but as it turned out, he wasn’t done with the show yet. Fox gave “The X-Files” revivals as a limited-run program in 2016 and 2018, which were deemed to be the 10th and 11th seasons of the show. Series creator-producer Chris Carter has inferred that there are more stories in that universe to be told, but any discussions of a continuation of the franchise haven’t come to fruition. The show also yielded two theatrical films in which Duchovny played Mulder (opposite Gillian Anderson’s Agent Dana Scully), “The X-Files: Fight the Future” (1998) and “The X-Files: I Want to Believe” (2008).

“The Matrix Resurrections” (Dec. 10)
To find out if his reality is a physical or mental construct, Thomas Anderson, aka Neo (Keanu Reeves), will have to choose to follow the white rabbit once more. If he’s learned anything, it’s that choice, while an illusion, is still the only way out of — or into — the Matrix. Neo already knows what he has to do, but what he doesn’t yet know is that the Matrix is stronger, more secure and far more dangerous than ever before. Carrie-Anne Moss, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Neil Patrick Harris and Jessica Henwick.

by Casey Affleck, “A Ghost Story,” 2017). But, Burns told the Los Angeles Times when the film was released that her real role was providing “a bit of comic relief at a point of the film where you really needed that.”
A: Heather Burns did, indeed, have a great run as the rom-com best friend in the ‘90s and early aughts. And while her career hasn’t quite hit those heights since, it’s been steadily busy.
She’s also dabbled a little in television, including a lead role in the short-lived sitcom “Save Me” in 2013, and a recurring role as a hacker in another NBC series, “Blindspot,” from 2017 to 2020.
The biggest recent project on her resume is probably the Oscar-winning 2016 drama “Manchester by the Sea.” She had a small but significant role as Jill, who is set up on a date with the film’s protagonist (played
Besides those roles, it’s been a bunch of other supporting gigs in bigscreen rom-coms — such as “What’s Your Number” (2011) and “Breaking Upwards” (2009). But none were as big as the

ones she made her name with around the turn of the millennium. That run started with 1998’s “You’ve Got Mail,” in which she played an employee and friend of the bookstore-owning protagonist (played by Meg Ryan, “When Harry Met Sally,” 1989). Two years later, in 2000, she was Miss Rhode Island in “Miss Congeniality,” a role she reprised in the 2005 sequel. In between those, it was 2002’s “Two Weeks Notice,” which reunited her with her “Miss Congeniality” co-star, Sandra Bullock.

Q: Why did Graham Elliot leave “MasterChef”? And what’s he doing now?
A: It looks as if, for once, we have a pretty clear answer to the why-did-they-leave question. Graham Elliot left “MasterChef,” the Fox cooking show starring celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, in 2016, trading upwards to another, arguably even bigger, cooking show. And, in fact, he says so pretty openly on his own website. “After 10 seasons working side-by-side with Gordon Ramsay, Elliot departed to become a judge in Bravo’s ‘Top Chef,’” says his bio on GrahamElliot.com. He did, indeed, immediately join the cast of “Top Chef” a few months after leaving “MasterChef,” where he stayed for two seasons before leaving in 2018. After that, he was just doing occasional guest appearances on other shows until he popped up in another full-time cooking show gig, as a judge in PBS’s “The Great American Recipe,” which he’s been doing since 2022. But, that’s not really a fulltime job — the show airs just eight episodes per season. And so, it seems that he’s turned his attention away from TV and back to what made him famous in the first place — restaurants. He runs a couple of spots in Fort Worth, Texas: F1 Smokehouse and French restaurant Le Margot. He also still serves as culinary director of the Lollapalooza festival, which he’s been doing every year since 2009.

Christmas with a … cow? Maybe. But only if they don’t get voted out. “The Masked Singer” puts holiday cheer center stage, as a new edition of “The Masked Singer Holiday Special” debuts on a special night, Tuesday, Dec. 12, on Fox. “Holiday splendor and masked merriment collide,” the network promises. “In this beloved yuletide special featuring allnew jaw-dropping surprise performances from Season 10 contestants, spectacular sing-along fun from Masked Singer alumni and ‘The Masked Singer’ carolers: Nick Cannon [“Celebrity Prank Wars”], Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg [“Two and a Half Men”], Ken Jeong [“Community”], Robin Thicke [“Paula,” 2014] and Nicole Scherzinger [“Killer Love,” 2011]. Celebrate the holidays with a look back at the best moments from the milestone 10th season, all leading into the can’t-miss final two episodes!” During the special, Season 10’s remaining contestants (still masked) will perform a slate of holiday songs, with each act including some all-new animated clues that just might give away the singer’s identity.

While this year’s upcoming performances are being kept under wraps, previous “Masked Singer” holiday events saw Crocodile (Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter, “Now or Never,” 2002) singing “Silent Night,” the Sun (LeAnn Rimes, “Blue,” 1996) singing “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” and Mushroom (Aloe Blacc, “Good Things,” 2010) performing “The Christmas Song.” Even panelist Ken Jeong got in the spirit of the season, hopping on stage to energetically sing “The Little Drummer Boy” during 2020’s sing-along event.
