Courtesy of Starz This week’s “Outlander” marked two occasions that don’t come around every day: The Starz series’ 100th episode, and James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser’s saying he’s sorry. The historical drama’s penultimate episode ever spent a significant amount of time with David Berry’s Lord John Grey, who was kidnapped at the end of the previous hour. Capt. Ezekiel Richardson planned to blackmail Grey by sending evidence of Grey’s homosexuality to his brother, Hal, the Duke of Pardloe. (There was a whole time-travel element to the gambit, as well: For full details, read our recap.)…

Stephen Colbert and his Emmy-winning team of producers have a lot of fun surprises planned for the final two weeks of The Late Show, before the curtain falls for the last time on May 21. We’re predicting lots of tears, so be sure to have tissues ready. CBS canceled Colbert’s venerable late-night program on July 17, 2025, allegedly due to a “financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.” The network gave the comedian almost a full year to end the show on his own terms, and that’s exactly what he’s doing. After winning the Emmy Award for Best…
President Donald Trump was not impressed with one question from ABC News senior political correspondent Rachel Scott. “Mr. President, you are here against the backdrop of the war in Iran,” Scott, 33, asked Trump, 79, on Thursday, May 7, during a brief Q&A with reporters. “Why focus on all these projects right now when we’re still seeing gas prices soar?” While explaining his renovation updates to the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument, Trump slammed Scott for her inquiry. “It’s such a stupid question you ask,” he replied. “We’re fixing up the reflecting pond to the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument,…

Another Man’s Wife is further evidence that one should adjust one’s expectations for a direct-to-Peacock movie. This one’s a what-would-you-do-for-a-couple-million-bucks dramatic thriller that’s tragically short on drama and thrills, and doesn’t bother to indulge the potential sexiness that the title kinda implies. (It also suffered from a terrible Peacock presentation, with regular screen judder and a screwed-up audio mix. It wasn’t just my TV! Promise!) In fact, it’s about as erotic as an assembly manual for a CPR dummy, and not even Taye Diggs in a supporting role can make this one worth your time. Here’s why. The Gist: We…
