Sesame Workshop, the organisation behind Sesame Street has said that characters Bert and Ernie “do not have a sexual orientation” after a former writer for the show recently said he considered them to be gay. Former writer Mark Saltzman, who worked for Sesame Street, made his comments during an interview with Queerty. “I always felt that without a huge agenda, when I was writing Bert & Ernie, they were [gay],” Saltzman said.

If you had walked on the set of Jim Carrey’s new Showtime series Kidding last spring, you might have thought you were in the wrong place. Instead of the usual premium-cable backdrops, you’d be standing inside a brightly colored children’s television show — in the world of Kidding, it’s the show that Jeff Piccirillo, a.k.a. Jeff Pickles (Carrey) has hosted for 30 years on Columbus, Ohio, public broadcasting — where you might run into the likes of a sad baguette named Ennui Le Triste...

When you woke up Monday morning there was only one man in the history of television who had ever won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series three times. His name was Aaron Paul and he was on a little show you might have heard of called Breaking Bad. However, that changed Monday night when Peter Dinklage told Paul to move the hell over, bitch, and took home his third Emmy for his performance as Tyrion Lannister on HBO's Game of Thrones.

It’s not happening again. Despite the original series winning two Emmys and landing a slew of high-profile nominations, “Twin Peaks: The Return” couldn’t make a successful comeback to the Emmys in 2018. At the Creative Arts Emmys, held September 8 and September 9, David Lynch’s limited series lost the first seven awards it could win. Nominated for production design, sound editing, sound mixing, cinematography, makeup, editing, and hairstyling, “Twin Peaks” lost to the likes of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Genius: Picasso,” and “Black Mirror: USS Callister.”

Ryan Murphy continues to be a powerhouse at the Emmys when it comes to the outstanding limited series category. The creator’s second installment of “American Crime Story,” entitled “The Assassination of Gianni Versace,” took home the prize at the 2018 Emmy awards. The show’s debut season, “The People vs. OJ Simpson,” won the same honor in 2016.

On Monday night, Last Week Tonight With John Oliver won the Emmy for outstanding variety talk series, marking the third consecutive win for the series in this category.“All the shows, every year, we fly our staff here and we put them in the worst seats in the building to send a mixed message,” Oliver joked, as he accepted the award. “Thank you to our staff — we’re incredibly proud of you.

The strangest of these characters are those who espouse Blue and Orange Morality. These characters have a moral framework that is so utterly alien and foreign to human experience that we can't peg them as "good" or "evil".

NBC has ordered an extra five episodes for “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” Season 6, the broadcaster announced Friday. That brings the cop comedy series’ sixth season to 18 episodes total.

“Saturday Night Live” officially has the most wins in Emmy history for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. At Sunday’s 2018 Creative Arts, the 43-year series just won its third Emmy in the category, for the song “Come Back Barack” written by Eli Brueggemann, Chris Redd, Will Stephen and Kenan Thompson. (Watch our fun interview with Thompson.) By claiming gold, “Come Back Barack” essentially stopped Benj Pasek and Justin Paul from earning an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) this time around.

Of all the attacks on cord-cutting that we’ve heard over the years, the most common is what I call the “gee whiz” argument: The idea that if you subscribe to a bunch of streaming video services, then gee whiz, the cost of all those subscriptions really adds up. This obvious point is routinely presented as an epiphany by cord-cutting naysayers, none of whom seem to realize that being able to pick and choose is the entire point of ditching cable.

The producers are being tight-lipped on the character but I hear Paul will be a series regular. Created for television by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, based on Michael Crichton’s 1973 movie, the sci-fi thriller is a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin. Paul is a series regular on Apple’s upcoming drama Are You Sleeping? It is an anthology series, so most of the cast, including Paul, have one-year deals for the Season 1 story arc.

His syndicated TV show was omnipresent during the 1980s and ’90s, and his instantly recognizable voice and delivery were widely parodied.

The network-defining series will begin production in the winter in New York for a premiere in 2019, meaning the drama will have been off the air for more than a year when the final season debuts.

"I mean, I guess, if you want." This is the review I threatened to write on Twitter the other day for a show I didn't name that is, in fact, Jack Ryan. Officially, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan. More specifically, Amazon's Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan. And, per some new corporate branding, Amazon's Prime Video's Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan.

I have many questions about the Purge, the annual night of government-sanctioned murder and mayhem—in which all laws are suspended, and anything and everything goes—depicted in The Purge and its three sequels. If I steal someone’s credit card and make tons of purchases on Amazon, will those shipments still arrive two days later? Can I download as many movies, TV shows and albums as possible on The Pirate Bay during the course of the evening...

From the moment the show went off the air, a dedicated band of viewers have been dissecting and discussing the show in zines and on forums.

CNN faced a shock horror moment over August 6 to 12 when they were beaten in the cable ratings by numerous competitors including the History channels Ancient Aliens.

Netflix officially pulled the plug on Michelle Wolf‘s talk show The Break with Michelle Wolf. The comedian made a name for herself earlier this year at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where her monologue received a mix reception, especially for her jokes targeting Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who attended the event. Wolf had previously appeared as a correspondent on The Daily Show and a writer for Late Night with Seth Meyers.
