A super-meta, super-prescient skewering of the showbiz world, and in particular, the relatively primitive phenomena of celebrity reality TV, “The Comeback” looked destined for the status of one-season wonder when HBO pulled the plug in 2005. “I was aware that it was mainly straight, white guys who couldn’t watch it,” its star Lisa Kudrow later acknowledged, perhaps explaining how douchebro counterpart “Entourage” — whose ratings it often matched — was allowed to run for eight (plus a truly loathsome film).

Thankfully, after a nine-year period in which the show had been reevaluated as a cult classic, Kudrow and co-creator Michael Patrick King were afforded the opportunity to reintroduce their glorious comic creation, the egotistical yet strangely sympathetic enigma that is Valerie Cherish for a second season. That hurrah ran beginning November 9, 2014, and inspired the very opposite response to her well-worn catchphrase, “I don’t want to see that.”

From boring offices to broken government departments to vampires living in the city, when mockumentary comedy TV shows work, they really work.

Saturday Night Live (or SNL) has been in the world ever since 1975. From legendary snippets to comedy sketches, SNL has helped several iconic comedians like Conan O’Brien and Billy Crystal shape their careers.

Although both people worked at different times in SNL, that did not mean their time on the live show was good. Sitting down for a recent chat, both comedians revealed that they had their fair share of stories from the show. Billy Crystal, however, had it worse.

Billy Crystal And The 1st Episode of Saturday Night Live

It was 11 October 1975 when Saturday Night Live premiered. The show featured George Carlin as the host of that night. However, it was called NBC’s Saturday Night due to copyright reasons.

Saturday Night Live, née NBC’s Saturday Night, has broken so much new ground in late-night television that in many ways, it’s shaped the industry in its own image. But who were the firsts among the firsts?

14 The First Cast Member

Big names like Chevy Chase, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd have gotten more press over the years, but Gilda Radner was the first person Lorne Michaels added to the roster. She tragically passed away in 1989.

13 The Most ‘Live From New York’s

Chevy Chase got there first, announcing the calling card after the first sketch ever aired. But Darrell Hammond would say the famous phrase the most often throughout his career, clocking in at 70 times.

The structure of the show was a lot different in the beginning, but Michaels was already set on a rotating menu of hosts. The first to do it was George Carlin...

The late pop star Elvis Presley continues to be one of the most iconic names in entertainment history. The singer was a memorable part of the late actress Teri Garr’s career, who appeared as a dancer in multiple films of the King of Rock and Roll.

Garr, who would later become known for her work in movies like Tootsie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Young Frankenstein, once reflected on working in Presley’s movies, candidly stating it’s no secret that his movies were bad.

Teri Garr’s Candid Reflection on Elvis Presley’s Movies

After starting her career as a dancer in the 1960s, Teri Garr started landing opportunities in Hollywood and was soon starring as a dancer in a string of Elvis Presley movies, including Fun in Acapulco, Kissin’ Cousins, Viva Las Vegas, Roustabout, and Clambake.

“The One with the Blackout,” the seventh episode of “Friends’” inaugural season, was notable for several reasons. It first introduced viewers to both the gang’s miserly broomstick-waving neighbor Mr. Heckles and Ross’ first rival for Rachel’s affections, Italian stallion Paolo. It apparently added the term ‘friend zone’ to the English lexicon as a result. And, as its title suggests, it formed part of an ingenious marketing strategy in which three NBC sitcoms were deliberately plunged into darkness.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary this month (November 3), Blackout Thursday was the brainwave of Dan Holm, a promotional producer also responsible for the term ‘Must See TV.’ Alongside the comedy that would prove to be the network’s most successful, the programming stunt also included one of the many forgettable one-seasoners that failed to ride its coattails, the Dabney Coleman-starring “Madman of the People,” and the 12-time Emmy-winning “Mad About You.

There were concerns Matt LeBlanc was struggling when he disappeared from the public eye after his friend Matthew Perry’s death. However, there is a very different reason for his disappearance. It turns out that Matt decided to quietly retire from acting.

Here is what you need to know about this surprising decision.

Matt LeBlanc Chooses To Leave Acting Career

After Matthew Perry died, Matt LeBlanc seemed to struggle. There were some people concerned when he became almost unrecognizable. However, it sounds like he has just chosen not to worry about remaining prepared for movie roles as he is finished acting, at least for now.

One of the best parts of "Frasier," the Kelsey Grammer-led sitcom that began in 1993, was Peri Gilpin's Roz Doyle. Unlike Frasier, Doyle was a completely new character disconnected from the show's parent series, "Cheers," so the writers had total freedom with what to do with her. They made her Frasier's sarcastic radio show producer, who slowly became one of his best friends.

Few fans have any complaints about Peri Gilpin's performance in the role, which makes it harder to imagine that Roz Doyle was originally supposed to be played by Lisa Kudrow instead. Kudrow was cast as Doyle but fired before she could film the pilot, an event the actress described as "devastating" in a recent interview on the Smartless podcast. She talked about how, during an early run-through of the pilot, the director James Burrows told Kudrow "This isn't working," and that was it.

Kudrow believed it...

Even though Friends wrapped in 2004, its stars never really left the spotlight—or the bank. Fast-forward to over a decade after its final episode, and each of the core six is still cashing in on a whopping $20 million a year, thanks to syndication and streaming deals. For Warner Bros., Friends is a billion-dollar machine, and the actors get their cut—2% of all that syndication income, as reported by Marketplace. Not bad for a sitcom that peaked in the ‘90s, right?

With Friends secured for streaming on Netflix through 2019, fans got a near-miss when the platform hinted it might pull the show. But Netflix shelled out a cool $100 million to keep it, a massive hike from the previous $30 million fee. And that wasn’t the end—At&T, which acquired Warner, worked out a plan allowing it to stream Friends on its service,...

Here’s how Friends hid the pregnancies of the main stars ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Sometimes, TV magic isn’t just about the laughs – it’s about clever tricks behind the scenes. Friends fans remember Phoebe’s surprise pregnancy in season 4, but Lisa Kudrow’s real-life bump had a twist. Instead of hiding it, the writers got creative and made Phoebe a surrogate for her half-brother! Brilliant, right? This kept Kudrow’s pregnancy in the spotlight while staying true to Phoebe’s quirky roots.

Pregnancies on TV are common, but Friends took it up a notch. Kudrow’s character was all about that free-spirited vibe, so turning her into a mom would’ve felt off. Instead, the writers rolled with it, making Phoebe pregnant with triplets. It was the perfect fix, keeping Friends rolling without missing a beat.

Kudrow has shared how heartwarming the experience was, especially with her castmates. Recalling her time on set,...

Teri Garr, the Oscar-nominated star of “Tootsie,” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” was known for playing lovably daffy characters like Inga in “Young Frankenstein,” but also shined in more dramatic parts.

Sadly, her career was shortened by multiple sclerosis. She died of the degenerative disease on Tuesday at age 79.

We toast the talented comedian and dancer with this list of her best, most loved movie and TV roles.

Garr received her only Oscar nomination for her role as Dustin Hoffman’s supportive friend Sandy in comedy classic “Tootsie.” After Hoffman’s character has created his successful Dorothy persona, he’s caught trying on one of Sandy’s dresses, and turns the awkward situation into a seduction. Naturally, he lies that he’s going to call her when he’s really only interested in Jessica Lange’s character.

Mel Brooks, who directed Teri Garr in the iconic 1974 comedy Young Frankenstein, remembered the actor upon her death Tuesday, recalling Garr’s talent and spirit.

“So very sorry to hear about Teri Garr’s passing,” Brooks said in a statement on social media. “She was so talented and so funny. Her humor and lively spirit made the Young Frankenstein set a pleasure to work on. Her ‘German’ accent had us all in stitches! She will be greatly missed.”

Garr was a standout in a film filled with standouts. She played Inga, the German lab assistant to the visiting American Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, played of course by Gene Wilder. As the seemingly ditsy — “seemingly” being the operative word — Inga, Garr employed a rather ersatz German accent, hence Brooks’ quote marks around the word.

Although Garr had received an Oscar nomination for her role in the 1982 film, she had her doubts about taking on the character of Sandy Lester. However, that changed thanks to Hoffman and his support for her.

In a throwback interview with People in 2013, Matthew Perry recalled coming on the sets of Friends with a terrible hangover. He also never wanted to let his co-stars from the show know about his alcohol and drug addiction issues, but eventually, everyone on the set became aware of it.

Last quarter, Netflix poured cold water on its rivals’ plans to put together streaming bundles and, three months on, it is going a step further.

The streamer has slammed the idea of streamer bundles after delivering its latest financial results, which saw it add 5.1M subscribers.

“Programming for such a large, engaged audience, with so much variety and great quality, is hard. It’s why streaming services which lack our breadth of content are increasingly looking to bundle their offerings. Netflix is already an extraordinary package of series and films (licensed and original), and increasingly games and live events — all in one place and for one price, easy to use and great value for money,” it noted in a letter to shareholders.
