Published by Daniella Wilson

Mike White revealed during the Survivor 50 finale on Wednesday night that his fellow players, Charlie Davis and Kamilla Karthigesu, will be featured on the fourth season of The White Lotus. The Emmy Award winner called into the live finale episode as he’s currently in France shooting for the upcoming installment. While speaking with Jeff Probst, the host asked if season four would encompass any Survivor cameos and if he’d be able to reveal exactly which players were joining the scripted series. “Everybody’s invited, but there are gonna be two contestants that we’re flying out to be in the show, and they are Charlie and Kamilla,” White said. White has famously featured former Survivor players from his first season in every installment of the beloved HBO drama. He originally appeared on the show’s 37th season that aired in 2018, which was entitled David vs. Goliath (he was labeled a “Goliath” thanks to his profession as a filmmaker). Season one of The White Lotus featured Alec Merlino in not just a cameo role, but the recurring role …

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Thursday that it is not necessary for Congress to weigh in on the Trump administration’s military action in Iran because the United States is currently “not at war.” Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get unlimited access to ad-free articles and exclusive content. “I don’t think we have an active, kinetic military bombing, firing or anything like that. Right now, we are trying to broker a peace,” Johnson told NBC News in the Capitol. “I would be very reluctant to get in front of the administration in the midst of these very sensitive negotiations, so we’ll have to see how that plays out.” His comments come as the ongoing military conflict with Iran nears the 60-day mark, a threshold outlined in the 1973 War Powers Resolution, which says that the president has to remove military forces from conflict within 60 days if Congress doesn’t authorize a war before that deadline.

Scott Applewhite/AP Speaker Mike Johnson, R.-La., is forging ahead with his latest proposal to renew a key American spy power. His bill, revealed Thursday, is largely unchanged from a previous plan which failed in a series of overnight votes earlier this month.

Christian Hubicki’s Notes for Mike White, Jimmy Fallon

Published by Daniella Wilson

Christian Hubicki made Survivor history in a way no player ever wants to — by becoming the first contestant forced to write down his own name at Tribal Council thanks to a twist from Jimmy Fallon. The wild Survivor 50 moment punctuated a sudden unraveling for one of the season’s sharpest strategic minds. In his exclusive exit interview with The Hollywood Reporter below, Christian explains how it happened, where the game slipped and why he’d still “always take the call” to play again. *** Do you have a message for Jimmy Fallon? Anything you want him to know? Look, Jimmy, I am always open to reconciliation. I don’t know who has to get the mediator, but I think we can repair this budding friendship. I believe we can. And maybe it was just a typo. Maybe it was just a typo on the note that maybe Christian will not have to vote for himself. And so we’ll figure this out, my friend.  You became the first player to have to write your own name down …
