Ballers on HBO: Rob Corddry talks Season 2!

July 1, 2016 Scott Fishman

“You’re no one until you have enemies” is the tagline for Season 2 of HBO’s Ballers. And this time, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Spencer Strasmore and Rob Corddry’s Joe Krutel have a big one to deal with in the form of Andre, played by veteran actor Andy Garcia. “He plays the biggest sports financial manager in Miami,” Corddry explains. “Spencer has a personal beef with him and wants to take him down. That’s basically the arc of the whole season. [But] I always had an admiration for this guy, no matter how sleazy he is. It becomes a huge thing. […]

June 24, 2016 Lori Acken

The Night Of Part 1 is available exclusively on HBO GO, HBO NOW and HBO On Demand beginning Friday, June 24. The series premieres on HBO Sunday, July 10 at 9pm. Nasir Khan thought he was about to have the best night of his life. Invited to a party by the popular jock he tutors, the doe-eyed college kid begs a pal to drive him there and, when his bud backs out, snatches the family cab instead. It’s late. Dad’s already turned in. What harm could come? Plenty. And that is the heart of HBO’s obsession-worthy limited series The Night […]

June 14, 2016 Jeff Pfeiffer

In what is, I’m sure, some “prett-ay, prett-ay, prett-ay, pretty good” news for fans, HBO announced today that Larry David’s Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm will be back for a new season, its ninth. With 80 episodes to date, Curb Your Enthusiasm is HBO’s longest-running scripted comedy or drama series. “We’re thrilled that Larry has decided to do a new season of Curb and can’t wait to see what he has planned,” said Casey Bloys, president of HBO programming.

Remembering Muhammad Ali: TV programs and schedules

June 8, 2016 Dave Lange

Beloved boxer, philanthropist and American icon Muhammad Ali died June 3 at age 74 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. As an athlete, he won the gold medal in the 1960 Summer Olympics in the light heavyweight division. He then won the world heavyweight championship in 1964, 1974 and 1978. Outside of the ring, he was an inspiration to many for his work as a philanthropist and his vocal opposition to the Vietnam War. He earned the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005. Below is a list of programs that pay tribute to “The Greatest,” including the Muhammad Ali […]

All The Way: Bryan Cranston on playing a purposeful LBJ as the “accidental” president’s achievements are jeopardized today

April 30, 2016 Lori Acken

All the Way premieres Sunday, May 21 at 8/7CT on HBO. Forty-seven years after he left the White House, Lyndon Baines Johnson is having something of a renaissance. Most of us know “LBJ” as the droning, jowly Texan who became president when Lee Harvey Oswald trained his gun on John F. Kennedy and quashed America’s Camelot dreams. What you recall from there (if you recall a single thing) depends on your age, your race, your geography … maybe your family ties. But not a day goes by that you aren’t affected by Johnson’s policies, the social-minded core of which is ground zero […]

Confirmation — HBO and Kerry Washington revisit a real-life Washington scandal

April 11, 2016 Lori Acken

Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill. Their names are synonymous with the very public hearings about very private matters that led Americans to rethink our collective perspective on race, workplace equity, sexual harassment, victims’ rights and adjudicating in the public eye. And to side-eye our Coke cans in the process. In 1991, more than 20 million TV viewers were riveted as the Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by then-Senator Joe Biden, investigated claims that controversial Supreme Court nominee Thomas sexually harassed Hill when the ambitious young attorney worked for him a decade before. Twenty-five years later, HBO’s Confirmation — starring Scandal’s Kerry Washington […]

March 24, 2016 Lori Acken

Nothing Left Unsaid: Gloria Vanderbilt & Anderson Cooper premieres Sunday, April 9, at 9/8CT on HBO. The documentary will encore on CNN April 29. Famed fashion icon Gloria Vanderbilt — looking decades younger than her 92 years in a bright coral tunic, slim pants and oversize gold earrings — smiles at rapt reporters from a Pasadena hotel ballroom stage. On either side, giant screens beam her beloved youngest son, CNN newsman Anderson Cooper, into the room from Fairfax, VA., where, later, Cooper will host a town hall at President Obama’s request. Though he was supposed to be here beside her, his […]

John Oliver takes a giant Drumpf on Donald Trump in latest “Last Week Tonight” clip

February 29, 2016 Jeff Pfeiffer

In a much more funny, generally more mature and cerebral take than the approach taken by those who would accuse Donald Trump of peeing his pants, or of basically having a small penis, John Oliver, in his imitable fashion, finally tackled The Donald after purposely avoiding him on his HBO show, Last Week Tonight. In case you didn’t see Oliver’s takedown of the man he compares to a back mole — something you might ignore until it becomes so big, scary-looking and out of control that you must deal with it — last night because you were watching the Oscars, it’s worth […]
