After I got kicked out of Jesuit high school, I went to a public high school, where they had resources such that I learned developing and printing and use of an SLR [single-lens reflex camera]. I remember going on assignments in New York City and taking pictures and coming back thinking, ‘Geez, these are all

Despite assurances that the president was experiencing “mild” symptoms of COVID-19 and that he was in “good spirits,” the White House said late Friday afternoon that Donald Trump had been transported to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he would stay for “the next few days.” The escalating situation wherein the leader of the

In an NBC promotional tweet for the show, Carrey — along with costar Maya Rudolph, who will be playing Biden running mate Sen. Kamala Harris as she’s

When Seth Meyers taped Thursday’s episode of Late Night, he probably couldn’t have guessed that mere hours later, President Donald Trump would announce that he had tested positive for the coronavirus.

Donald Trump has been hinting that he might not participate in the presidential debate process since late last year, so when he actually did take the stage with Joe Biden earlier this week, I’ll admit I was a little surprised. It probably helped that that debate was hosted by Fox News, one of the only

Jessie Buckley has only had a handful of starring roles, many of them in smaller films—so it’s possible you haven’t seen her in anything yet. But if you have, it’s impossible to forget her.

“I don’t talk about the EmSculpt as a way to get a six pack,” Dr. Colbert says. “Being obsessed with any body part like that is unhealthy psychologically.” Rather, he points out, he uses the machine as an option for his clients who want to complement or supplement the work they’re already doing to stay

“Trump is incapable of talking about policy because his record is dismal and he doesn’t know anything,” Meyers said. “There’s a raging pandemic, an economic crash, and the west is on fire—and that’s why he’s talking about drugs and Hunter Biden and whatever other bullshit he and his gang of mafia bobbleheads concocted. That’s all

In such an unpredictable year, it would almost have been comforting to see the two dark-suited septuagenarians playing so true to type. It would have been comforting if it wasn’t so representative of the unravelling of America. During the first presidential debate of 2020, President Donald Trump was a perfect caricature of himself, speaking in

Update: On Wednesday’s episode, the judges took their best guesses at who they thought could be behind the mask. Ken Jeong thought the Croc was Jon Hamm, and Nicole Scherzinger guessed a boy-band type: Nick Lachey. Uhhh, sure? One night after…whatever that first presidential debate was, those of us who are choosing to escape reality

For the people who were lucky enough to skip out on the first presidential debate, here are a few words that would describe it: Unwatchable. National embarrassment. A nightmare come to life. Like having periodontal surgery without anesthesia. “The worst thing I have ever experienced and I made out with a duck.” Largely, this was

A glaring set of statistics if there ever was one: in Canada, between 2017 and 2019, the percentage of Indigenous women responsible for our television and cinematic writing — zero. Directing? Zero. Cinematography? Zero. How about key creative work? A pathetic uptick to one per cent. According to the 2019 Women in View on Screen

Remember the times when we could complain about a bad superhero movie and that was the most important thing happening in our lives? Well, those days are gone because after last night’s debate, we now know what something truly terrible looks like. So, sorry I complained about Justice League for so long; you had your good

Stephen Colbert opened Tuesday’s live edition of The Late Show by expressing sheer exhaustion after watching the first presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden. “I come to you tonight, ladies and gentlemen, an empty vessel, a man with a mind wiped clean,” Colbert said. “I have stood in the swirling

Yet if Glover has worked from the inside out – pursuing a disruptive agenda from within – Coel has been employing a different set of tactics: refusing to accept the industry’s prejudice as business as normal. If Glover’s agent of change was a Trojan horse, then Coel’s has been a grenade. To excel (and to

Oregon firefighters have a tiny but powerful Force on their side in their fight against wildfires, thanks to a five-year-old boy who sent them his Baby Yoda doll. Carver Tinning and his grandmother Sasha bought the lifelike Star Wars toy for a firefighter donation drive in Scappoose, Ore., amid the state’s devastating wildfire season. They

In the run-up to Tuesday night’s presidential debate, Donald Trump and his supporters have simultaneously claimed that if Joe Biden wins it’ll be because he got the questions ahead of time, because the media is in the can for Democrats, and because he’s taking performance-enhancing drugs. Now, with just hours to go until the event

A group of NXIVM members have enlisted the help of Amanda Knox — an American woman who was convicted for a 2007 murder but ultimately exonerated — in a bid to help the group’s leader, Keith Raniere. In mid-June of 2019, Raniere was found guilty on seven charges by a jury, including two counts of

Kylie Jenner shared some pretty fall bikini photos on her Instagram yesterday, something relatively standard for a Kardashian-Jenner. But she decided to use her caption to do her civic duty: Encourage her millions of followers to make sure they’re registered to vote. It’s a very Elle Woods move of her. “7th day of fall 👙”

Trevor Noah was equal parts amused and outraged over the massive New York Times exposé on President Donald Trump’s taxes—particularly the revelation that Trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes in both 2016 and 2017. According to the Times, the president had paid no federal taxes in 10 of the prior 15 years before

When Donald Trump appointed his daughter Ivanka to be a senior adviser, it was unusual, given her total lack of qualifications for that sort of high-level government job. Even worse, the elder Trump used his daughter as a surrogate for the presidency, sending her out to speak for him and to represent us as a

Yesterday the New York Times published a bombshell story based on more than two decades of Donald Trump’s taxes, and it wasn’t pretty. The president is sitting in the middle of a tangled web of dubiously legal tax avoidance strategies, his business are bleeding money, and he faces potential financial ruin if he loses the

Moments before Fox News aired the White House’s Sunday press conference—which took place shortly after the publication of the New York Times’ massive report on Donald Trump’s tax records—an out-of-frame employee apparently let out an exclamation that embodied the sentiment of a network tasked with playing cleanup after yet another presidential bombshell. Following the announcement
