The comedy world—heck, the whole world—mourns the passing of Richard Lewis, whose death was announced yesterday. The 76-year-old comic was a mainstay on the circuit since the mid-1970s. Though he has several comedy specials and movie appearances under his belt (plus the early 1990s sitcom “Anything But Love” opposite Jamie Lee Curtis) his most widely-seen […]
I wrote up an obituary for Richard Lewis, who succumbed to a heart attack Tuesday night at 76, and was left feeling surprisingly bereft. I wondered why his death was hitting me so hard. I was a longtime fan, but I’d never met the man. I respected his comedy, but I didn’t necessarily think of […]

The first two episodes of this installment […]

Chicago-born Chance the Rapper entered the Grammy history books in 2017 when he became the first person to win for a streaming-only mixtape, “Coloring Book,” in the categories of Best New Artist, Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Album.

Going into this year’s Oscars, many are expecting a big night for “Oppenheimer.” Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan is poised to finally win his very first accolades in Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for his work on the movie.

EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) recipient John Legend officially attached himself to “The Voice” coaching panel during its 16th installment, after previously giving advice as a mentor.

Since 2018 (and in 63% of all years since 1937), Oscar voters have consistently favored supporting actresses who deliver shorter performances than their male counterparts.

Richard Lewis, the wild, eccentric, ultra-neurotic stand-up comedian and comic actor who most recently served as a semi-regular alongside Larry David on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” is dead. He was 76.
