The comedian said she had not appeared on any of Fallon’s shows since his Late Night days and suggested that NBC no longer wanted her on air. “I’ve not done the Jimmy Fallon show since it was on at 12.30 eastern and pacific, so I guess I’m banned from the Fallon show, or inappropriate or too controversial. I don’t even know,” Griffin said in an Instagram video posted earlier this week. “When you’re banned from a show – and if you guys know me, I’m banned from most of them. They don’t usually tell you you’re banned; they just can’t seem to find room for you.” Fallon hosted Late Night with Jimmy Fallon from 2009 until February 2014 in NBC’s 12.35am …

Taylor Swift wedding live: Preparations in full swing ahead of rumoured rehearsal dinner tonight at Madison Square Garden

Taylor Swift wedding live: Preparations in full swing ahead of rumoured rehearsal dinner tonight at Madison Square Garden

Published by Daniella Wilson

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding schedule: From rehearsal dinner to the ceremony As workers continue carry a seemingly endless stream of furniture, props, food, drink and even a baby grand piano into Madison Square Garden, it seems impossible now that this isn’t where Taylor Swift is marrying her “guy on the Chiefs”, Travis Kelce. There are still some sceptics convinced the elaborate preparations are a “fake-out” – a hugely elaborate way of distracting the world while the real wedding ceremony takes place elsewhere. However, multiple outlets have confirmed that a city permit application was filed for an event at MSG to be attended by 100 people today (unidentified sources have described this as a wedding rehearsal) while the Friday event is believed to be the intimate wedding ceremony and then a reception for up to 1,000 guests. As you can imagine, that’s quite the security nightmare, as experts told The Independent: Experts dissect Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s MSG wedding security The eye-popping estimate for the celeb couple to shell out to secure Madison …

Last Week Tonight” host John Oliver checks in to “General Hospital

Last Week Tonight” host John Oliver checks in to “General Hospital

Published by Sam Flores

Hosting an award-winning late-night comedy show simply was not enough for John Oliver. On Thursday, the “Last Week Tonight” host kicks off a guest-star arc on ABC’s long-running daytime soap “General Hospital,” which continues through Friday and then Monday, July 6. Why? Because he noticed ESPN sports commentator Stephen A. Smith’s multiple appearances on the show over the years as a minor character named Brick, crime boss Sonny Corinthos’ ruthless fixer, and thought, “Why not me?” Oliver announced his guest appearance on the June 28 episode of “Last Week Tonight,” the final episode before the show’s midsummer hiatus. But as he reminded the audience, his campaign to appear on a soap — any soap — began in March when he confessed his love for the genre and his “scorching hot jealousy” that Smith got to play in that world. His only conditions were that he wanted to play a character with a ridiculous name and wanted to do something juicy, “like murder or slapping, or being slapped, or being someone’s long-lost something,” he said, adding, …

The NotePin S AI wearable, seen here on the wrist of CNET’s Katie Collins, could be really useful for my job. And it’s on sale for Prime Day. Andrew Lanxon/CNET I took over the role of CNET’s editorial leader earlier this year, and while I’ve participated in Prime Day sales as a TV reviewer and general deals editor here for (literally) decades, this is my first Prime Day as EIC. In case you’re wondering what purchases a person like me is considering this time around, here’s a sampling. iPad 11-inch A16 ($300): My artistic daughter has been asking for an iPad and if my wife approves, I’ll likely get her this basic version, our top pick for most people. I’d also get her the Apple Pencil (on sale for $60). We’d save both of these for Christmas presents. Belkin Portable Charger Bank ($38): My family and I always need portable chargers. Half our devices call for Lightning and the other half for USB-C. This does both and I like the built-in cables. Plaud NotePin S …

Coronation Street and Emmerdale pulled from ITV in schedule shake-up tonight

Coronation Street and Emmerdale pulled from ITV in schedule shake-up tonight

Published by Daniella Wilson

Soap fans – there’s some bad news. Neither Coronation Street nor Emmerdale will air tonight (Wednesday 24 June). This is, of course, due to the FIFA World Cup 2026. Despite the footy kicking our serial dramas off their usual pitch every single tournament, it still becomes a chore to try to work out when they’re next on air. Luckily, Radio Times has all of the answers. In January, a soap “power hour” – with both shows airing 30-minute instalments between 8pm and 9pm – was launched by ITV to provide consistency for viewers. Despite that, the schedules continue to be rocked. In their place tonight, the broadcaster will air coverage of the Switzerland v Canada game, hosted by Mark Pougatch. Kick off is at 8pm, though we’ll head to the BC Place Vancouver in Canada an hour earlier. There’s no Coronation Street or Emmerdale tonight. ITV Fear not, however, as we haven’t got long to wait for our next slice of cobbles and Dales action. Tomorrow (Thursday 25 June), hour-long episodes will air from 8pm on …
